26 of the Greatest Alt Modes of All Time.

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Beast Wars Transquito? With that whole "suck them dry" line?


That could be a fun thread: "who's motto is this?" Test memories and/or tech-spec searches. :grin:

Great finale to the list!

But, isn't Armada Wheeljack a Lambo-ish vehicle?

I agree with and enjoyed your post. although, there is one vehicle missing: CAMAROS!!! :sad:

Although you probably didn't like the Bayformer Bumblebee (I know I didn't at first), It's still an awesome alt mode. Windcharger from G1 was a Trans Am (Same as a Camaro)and I am pretty sure that there is more

fine work Diem, as always. Great #1!!! Sideswipe was my first G1 TF, so i definitely have a soft spot for Lambos. He is busted up badly (and not even I with my level 10 skill can fix him :() but I've kept the pieces for sentimental reasons. Reading & seeing this makes me want to open my Commemmorative series re-issue I bought!! Lol. Someday, I'd love to get his brother Sunny too. Wonder who'd have a good price on him?

Not too fussed about Camaros. I prefer sports cars to muscle cars.

Hmm, I must have been off my meds when you finished Diem, because I don't remember it :lol: . Still, was a great list and I hope you do another one, maybe 26 most ridiculous alt modes of all time. I suggest shoe, hand, skateboard, bicycle, & tanuki. Just remember Heinlad was the first transformer that had the balls to battle. :P

This is certainly a very impressive list. I feel inspired by this (and the other top 25 greatest TF toys thread) to do my own "Top Best" topic. :-B

I´m very happy to see that Lamborghinis are #1, I love them all, in fact, I bought Universe Sunstreaker twice. I can't argue with that.

But I think Cybertron Downshift needs an honorific mention, he's got an awesome alt mode.

I really appreciate that. It was quite the labour of love (and beer) to write it so I'm glad to receive support!

By the way, does anyone know a good place to put/method of putting the list somewhere online without comments, just as a pure Cracked/Topless Robot-type list?

I'm surprised that neither "Robot" nor "combiner component" made the list.

I'm sure nobody needs to be told why combiners are appealing, but the "robot" thing needs a little explanation...

By "robot" I don't just mean "turns into a robot". I mean "A robot who turns into a DIFFERENT robot". Counterpunch and Longarm are, arguably, alt modes of Punch and Shockwave, respectively. They don't just turn into something else. They turn into someONE else.
