      Ok let me rephrase for pedantic people, adjectives with trans prefix have a correspondent cis adjective.

      And an electrical cisformer would be something that would keep energy inside the same circuit at roughly the same voltage, so basically a wire. Feel free to use the term if you want to oversell something.

      A cisformer would just be a conductor (like a wire). It takes a current/voltage on one side, and gives you the same current/voltage on the other side.

      Now if we’re talking about the big robots that turn into cars, a cisformer would be a car that turns into the same car (so just any car).
