Optical transients have been studied in isolated cases, but never mapped into a comprehensive data base in the past. These events vary in duration and signature, yet they are united under the umbrella of time varying observables and represent a significant portion of the dynamical processes in the universe. The Transient Optical Sky Survey (TOSS) System is a dedicated, ground-based system of small optical telescopes, observing nightly at fixed Declination while gathering 90 sec exposures and thus creating a repeated partial map of the sky. Presented here is a brief overview of some of the signatures of transient events and a description of the TOSS system along with the data acquired during the 2008-2009 observing campaign, potentially producing over 100,000 light curves.
