OK, so what happend to the bad boy (and ugly) Trans warp speed starship in the Search for Spock where Scotty took parts out of it so they couldn't catch the Enterprise, did they drop that idea for the series?

Yup ... said it was "unworkable", although the Excelsior-class starships were redesigned for conventional warp engines.

Transwarp showed up again as a method of travel used by the Borg. In that case Transwarp was described as more of a conduit - a point-to-point wormhole effect.

I'm not much of a trekkie, so this could be totally off-base

iirc, in the original series, the warp factors worked like so:

1=C, 2=2C, 3=4C, 4=16C, 5=256C etc... a square progression

and, in the movies and TNG, worked like so:

1=C, 2=2C, 3=8C, 4=64C, 5=4096C etc... a cube progression

like I say, I'm not a Trekkie, so I could be totally wrong on this

I believe the term used was TRANSWARP DRIVE---not speed
