Vehicles forms of TF figures.

just wondering if anyone choose's TF's based on the vehicle form. or if anyone trys to display them in vehicle form. for one reason or another, I tend to buy TF's based on their vehicle form,

for example, I bought I bought generations redalert for his lamborgini stlye vehicle form.

I was also thnking it would be cool to try to guess what real vehicles each TF is based after, excluding the ones from the movies, becuase they are real vehicles.

I think I'll do a little research on the vehicles of various non-movie TF's to see what they most resemble. if anyone would like to try this too, then peraphs they could put a list of their TF's and what real vehicles they seem to be based on.

To be totally, utterly, and completely honest... the only TF I chose because of its alt mode (you can't just say "vehicle form", too many don't turn into vehicles) was...


Wait for it...

Totally agree here. I'm not a NASCAR fan, but my dad is, and seeing as how he's a big red neck and yet DOESN'T give me crap about collecting Transformers (he actually thinks they're pretty cool, especially the Alternators line), I knew he'd get a kick outta them.

I had to laugh, because his comment on seeing Deluxe Roadbuster was "Well huh. I guess if Dale Jr. actually drove this thing he might win a race or two." LOL, true dat, pop.

There are a few characters here and there other than the movie Wreckers that I buy simply because I like their alt mode. I don't think I'd have bought DotM Leader Sentinel Prime (or rather asked for it for V-Day) if I didn't think his alt mode was so awesome. DotM Specialist Ratchet is another example.

Yeah, Toaster-bot! :)) The 2 that come to my mind is Tidalwave/Shockwave (awesome purple colors) and Prime Vehicon. :VEHI:

Alt mode is a major deciding factor. Always on the lookout for dinosaurs, monsters, vintage, construction, or just plain unusual (i.e. Ejector or the Fuzors). I don't get everything that has those particular alts, mind you --there are some "restrictions" I hold-- but I'll usually at least strongly consider any of those bots.

There's a couple. Ejector of course, being one. Also Scalpel and Barricade in a big way. Hell, I'd get almost any version of movie Barricade for that nice vehicle mode.

I'm also REALLY tempted by Takara's MP Roddy, again, mostly for the vehicle mode. But there it's also to have the complete figure.

I'm a robot-mode kinda guy, but I've found that I'm a sucker for helicopter altmodes. Especially PCC Searchlight (which is actually what got me back into the Transformers habit), dotm Skyhammer (want him so bad D: ), and dotm HA Whirl (also because he is incredibly reminiscent of Gyroman).
