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:
using UnityEngine;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour { // Moves all transform children 10 units upwards! void Start() { foreach (Transform child in transform) { child.position += Vector3.up * 10.0f; } } }
Additional resources: The component reference, Physics class.

| localRotation | The rotation of the transform relative to the transform rotation of the parent. |
| localScale | The scale of the transform relative to the GameObjects parent. |
| localToWorldMatrix | Matrix that transforms a point from local space into world space (Read Only). |
| lossyScale | The global scale of the object (Read Only). |
| parent | The parent of the transform. |
| position | The world space position of the Transform. |
| right | The red axis of the transform in world space. |
| root | Returns the topmost transform in the hierarchy. |
| rotation | A Quaternion that stores the rotation of the Transform in world space. |
| up | The green axis of the transform in world space. |
| worldToLocalMatrix | Matrix that transforms a point from world space into local space (Read Only). |
| DetachChildren | Unparents all children. |
| Find | Finds a child by name n and returns it. |
| GetChild | Returns a transform child by index. |
| GetLocalPositionAndRotation | Gets the position and rotation of the Transform component in local space (that is, relative to its parent transform). |
| GetPositionAndRotation | Gets the position and rotation of the Transform component in world space. |
| GetSiblingIndex | Gets the sibling index. |
| InverseTransformDirection | Transforms a direction from world space to local space. The opposite of Transform.TransformDirection. |
| InverseTransformDirections | Transforms multiple directions from world space to local space overwriting each original position with the transformed version. The opposite of Transform.TransformDirections. |

| InverseTransformVectors | Transforms multiple vectors from world space to local space overwriting each original position with the transformed version. The opposite of Transform.TransformVectors. |
| IsChildOf | Is this transform a child of parent? |
| LookAt | Rotates the transform so the forward vector points at /target/'s current position. |
| Rotate | Use Transform.Rotate to rotate GameObjects in a variety of ways. The rotation is often provided as an Euler angle and not a Quaternion. |
| 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. |
| TransformDirections | Transforms multiple directions from local space to world space overwriting each original direction with the transformed version. |
| TransformPoint | Transforms position from local space to world space. |
| TransformPoints | Transforms multiple points from local space to world space overwriting each original point with the transformed version. |
| TransformVector | Transforms vector from local space to world space. |
| TransformVectors | Transforms multiple vectors from local space to world space overwriting each original vector with the transformed version. |
| Translate | Moves the transform in the direction and distance of translation. |
