That reminded me of those roleplay things from the first movie toyline.

I never cared much for transformers that didn't transform into any alt modes, but these were even worse. Which one even is
the altmode?

That's more of a device than a robot, but the flashlight mode is its disguise, while the gun is its true function.

Transformers Prime Gaia Unicron is always one of my favorites

I feel liek we cannot descriminate g1 toys because its unfair to compare them to what we have today plus back then the toy engineering was pretty limited comparing modern days toy engineering anyway i feel like we are just touching the tip of the iceberg i feel like we are just touching the littest of bad alt modes when their are way worse out there....

Objects that dont work as disguises are fair game as well but there seems to be a distinction between ridiculous looking and illogical. "Ridiculous" seems to mean all of this.

That thing kinda reminds me of a festival float to be honest. Either that or a Chinese dragon dance costume thingy.

I can forgive its silliness for the swords though.

If we're not limited to toys, I'd like to nominate Rung, whose alt mode is something that nobody, not even Rung himself, can identify.

The functionist council in the alternate universe Knows...

And also a comic only character, Octus is a flamin' Dalek.

All of Beast Machines and Robots in Disguise 2001 were dumb.

That thing looks so majestic

Honestly, the award for me has to go to Perceptor's friggin' microscope tank mode.


Seriously, how the hell would that disguise him at all? :p

It doesn't look so bad. He's still got treads

STOPLIGHT from TF Animated

no doubt the worst, unless one becomes a waste disposal unit.

IYKWIM.

Okay, not sure if this counts, but according to tfwiki's page on Takara's "Legends" webcomic, the comic on the right is Nightbird claiming to have a swan mode:

That was actually Cybertron, and his name was Signal Lancer.

We need a generations Signal lancer, that would be awesome.

Also,

Beast Machines Silverbolt... that condor mode is epic fail.
Aw man... the Beast Machines Maximals... the fact that Hasbro needs to label the beast modes on the package to tell you what the hell they're meant to be speaks volumes.

A HARD WRONG!

Then again, I may be the sole lover of the BEAST MACHINES.

Beast Wars Neo. Yes, the whole toyline. Basically, the toys designed for it generally have a robot mode, a beast mode, and a "What were they smoking?" mode.









Mach Kick may be the most notorious, and for good reason. If I had to pick just one, he might be it (though there's stiff competition).

Not a lover, per se, but I enjoyed it.

Fair play, that's always stumped me too.
