Cyberlink
From Multiversal Omnipedia
A cyberlink is a device enabling a Transformer to directly connect their mind to computers or other technology. When Tarantulas was wounded by Inferno, his mind remained in a cyberlink he was using; when Blackarachnia used the link, Tarantulas' mind entered her body. After Tarantulas was restored to his real body, he maintained a sort of virtual cyberlink to his temporary host. Eventually, Blackarachnia threated him with an energon overload, forcing him to break the link.
