Nemesis is behind Primal, pretending to be Big Convoy, while Magmatron is behind Megatron.

Really, any combiner is a 'ridiculous alt mode'.It's five (and sometimes six) Transformers who become legs, torsos, and arms,(and sometimes chests) who then attach onto each other.

G1 Megatron is at once the coolest and most ridiculous alt mode ever.

Agreed. There is a very fine line between ridiculous and amazing.

True, things are funny like that.

I would disagree on the cool, grimlock alt mode is way cooler

But I find it pretty cool that Megatron is not only a gun but a specific gun. The one from Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Totally agree. The fact that he is specifically a Walther P38 is so much more interesting to me. It is essentially a Nazi gun, which is fitting to a character like Megatron.

But wait, a Nazi gun wielded by an American !!!

He never had a toy but Blaster's buddy Scrounge in the Marvel comics basically turned into a wheel. Just a single solitary wheel.

But he did it with PRIDE! And really, is there any reasonable excuse for not giving us at least a data-disc Scrounge?

Transformers Go! Optimus ExPrime Gallery

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.

Is that his dragon mode?
If so,he looks like something stomped by an angry Metroplex.
:SICK:

My pick for the most ridiculous is this guy(Tusks):

Alt mode

Clearly a rhetorical question. Stuff like that always seemed, even to Child Me, like it was called a 'mode' because it was a shape the figure could assume. I'm all for imagination but damn, I'm blown away thinking back to how much of it we had compared to now. I remember when it was all 8-bit consoles around here, as far as the milky cataract could see...

Wingwolf mode, hands down.

Quickswitch too though. As much as I enjoyed having a six-changer, that thing didn't even turn into a robot, not really. The boat-mode was semi-plausible with a child's imagination but on the whole, that was it's only actual 'mode'.

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Fri Aug 28, 2015 12:47 pm

Lord. I picked Quickswitch up at a con last November for ten bucks. He's...... well, ten bucks was a fair price, I suppose. He's missing his guns but they wouldn't make him much better.

Armada Laserbeak. Not only was he completely out of scale with the whole line (since he was meant for kids to roleplay with) but apparently his video camera mode wasn't enough, so he got some really doofy looking gun alt mode (which just looked like a camera with a handle, which isn't that absurd a thing in and of itself, they exist, just the idea that it made him a weapon). Then because he was billed as having a "gun" mode he had to be covered in glowing orange making his camera alt mode look like his camera mode wasn't actually a camera mode but a toy camera mode.
