Let me know what you guys think is the most ridiculous alt mode.

- G1 Roadgrabber. A robot who is better disguised in his robot mode then in his car-shell. It looks like something Skeletor would drive.
- (Devil) Gigatron's handmode. Handmaster? Call the Breastmasters!
- (Devil) Gigatron's carmode. Probably less convincing then Roadgrabber.
- Heinlad. A saké carrying deity with some impressive nuts. On which he drums for magic. Leave it to Japan. Call the handmasters!
- G1 Blot. Who might just be inspired by a potato. With guns.
- Magmatron. Not for his individual beast modes, but I'd like to nominate him for his congaline mode.
To name a few.

Thats why I have such a hard time with the word ridiculous. Indistinguishable alt modes are easy to say subjectively (that list is all done and finished). But "ridiculous", for me, is sometimes really similar to awesome (like Gigatron and the Micromaster toys). I hope that doesnt make me sound like a Hipster.

Too late.

It was never great to begin with but adding the lipstick as a deco change to the alt mode to indicate it's female is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen.

Well not to get to on this tangent, I think Armada Nightbeat's robot mode...is...awful...of course his alt mode isn't all that great either...

Well, like I said, the more I am looking into this topic, the more it seems that the robot mode should be considered for the ridiculousness. Not as the main factor but a combination with the alt mode.
And I've got a better one for you regarding morotcycles: Energon highwire (this is the redeco though)
