Alpha Trion - His name gets taken in vain on occasion in the cartoon.

Apprentice - Amoung artists, considered rather degrading, if the subject isn't actually an apprentice.

B

Bit-Brain - Used where a human might say "pea-brain."

Blast - General explicative. Canon, and common in comic books in general.

Bootleg - Approximatly equivalent to "bastard".

Bot Fragger - One would think that since "fragging" generally involves killing or badly damaging someone, that this would be a compliment among Decepticons.

Bot fraggin son of a Cessna - Insult used among Seekers.

Burnout - Term for a robot past his prime.

Frag Me Flying - Explicative used among Seekers.

Freen - Also, "Freening." General swear.

Frell - General swear.

G

Gasket Breath - Rumble uses this one in the G1 cartoon. A gasket is a seal placed around a joint to prevent the escape of air, so the insult appears somewhat self-contradictory, not to mention the fact that it begs the question, "You mean they do breath after all?" Maybe it's just a general insult.

Get Recycled - Use... your imagination.

Glitch - Most likely a Transformer equivalent to "bitch".

Holy Heterodyne - Seems to be pronounced "Hetrodyne" in the show, but the Webmaid thinks this is what they mean. From the G1 cartoon. This one just cracks the Webmaid up, bad. She's not going to go into the exact details of what heterodyning is, but it seems to be used as an equivalent to "Holy cow!".

I

I Don't Give A Flying Frag - Used where a human might say, "I don't give a darn."

Interface - As in, "He don't give a flyin' interface." Roughly equivalent to an Anglo-Saxon curse word referring to the act of procreation.
