Position, rotation and scale of an object.
Every object in a scene has a Transform. It's used to store and manipulate the position, rotation and scale of the object. Every Transform can have a parent, which allows you to apply position, rotation and scale hierarchically. This is the hierarchy seen in the Hierarchy pane. They also support enumerators so you can loop through children using:
// Moves all transform children 10 units upwards!
for (var child : Transform in transform) { child.position += Vector3.up * 10.0; }
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void Example() { foreach (Transform child in transform) { child.position += Vector3.up * 10.0F; } } }

| IsChildOf | Is this transform a child of parent? |
| LookAt | Rotates the transform so the forward vector points at /target/'s current position. |
| Rotate | Applies a rotation of eulerAngles.z degrees around the z axis, eulerAngles.x degrees around the x axis, and eulerAngles.y degrees around the y axis (in that order). |
| RotateAround | Rotates the transform about axis passing through point in world coordinates by angle degrees. |
| SetAsFirstSibling | Move the transform to the start of the local transform list. |
| SetAsLastSibling | Move the transform to the end of the local transform list. |
| SetParent | Set the parent of the transform. |
| SetPositionAndRotation | Sets the world space position and rotation of the Transform component. |
| SetSiblingIndex | Sets the sibling index. |
| TransformDirection | Transforms direction from local space to world space. |
| TransformPoint | Transforms position from local space to world space. |
| TransformVector | Transforms vector from local space to world space. |
| Translate | Moves the transform in the direction and distance of translation. |
| gameObject | The game object this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a game object. |
| tag | The tag of this game object. |
| transform | The Transform attached to this GameObject. |
| hideFlags | Should the object be hidden, saved with the scene or modifiable by the user? |
| name | The name of the object. |
| BroadcastMessage | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children. |
| CompareTag | Is this game object tagged with tag ? |
| GetComponent | Returns the component of Type type if the game object has one attached, null if it doesn't. |

| GetInstanceID | Returns the instance id of the object. |
| ToString | Returns the name of the game object. |
| Destroy | Removes a gameobject, component or asset. |
| DestroyImmediate | Destroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead. |
| DontDestroyOnLoad | Makes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene. |
| FindObjectOfType | Returns the first active loaded object of Type type. |
| FindObjectsOfType | Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type. |
| Instantiate | Clones the object original and returns the clone. |
| bool | Does the object exist? |
| operator != | Compares if two objects refer to a different object. |
| operator == | Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object. |
