Transformer abbreviations?

Sorry if this has been asked before (or if it's just plain dumb), I searched and got no answers.

I was wondering if there was a reference guide anywhere to Transformer-related abbreviations and action figure related abbreviations in general. I know what the majority of them mean, but not all of them and I'm sure I can't be the ONLY one. For example:

TF-related Abbreviations being things like: KO, SWT, G1, MP, and so forth.

Action figure related being: MOC, MISB, MOMC, MSRP, and the like.

Like I said, I already know what most of these mean, but is there a resource to find out online anywhere? And if not, any chance we could get one compiled on here? Might be a good thing for new collectors to have a look at and keep themselves informed.

Thanks!

KO = Knockoff
G1 = Generation 1
MP = Masterpiece
MOC = Mint on Card, i think (unopened)
MISB = Mint in box (unopened)
MSRP = Manufacturers suggested retail price

sorry, no idea about the others.

Thank you, I appreciate your effort. Those just so happened to be all the ones I knew. What does SWT stand for? Anybody have anymore of them?

Is SWT Star Wars Transformers?

That's what I though at first, but it's been used in reference to non-SW Transformers, so it can't be.

you sure you're not confusing it with WST? world's smallest transformer
