Does this apply to both types of transformers? Decepticons and Autobots?

I would actually love to see an article on the design process for transforming toys like Transformers.

It seems like such a cool design feat to come up with those. At least I thought so as a kid...

Sign me up for that, I made my own out of legos as a kid. I managed to make two of them that looked like robots and vehicles. Using just hinges and the small squares with rotating centers.
I guess I should just have googled it. First result:

There's more to them than meets the eye.
How do you determine the required permeability of the core material?
You have something against Maximals and Predacons?
No, just was thinking OG Transformers. All though some of the very new stuff isn’t my thing.
