Sure, choose "Reset Transformer" under "upgrade". I've heard some of them show up after you change the color on the "edit" panel so you might want to give that a try first if you really like that alt.
Hate the players, love the game.

The Maximals have an Ostrich as a Strong Air Animal.

While it is a bird, I really wouldn't call it an Air Animal.

Before the missions start, Panzer Storms alt doesn't show up, just an empty box with "Bat", and the address of the image is the errors page.

Tammuz was not amused.

This where we get to remind all the Stalker fanboys out there that their favoroute character was originally a tasteful G2 pink and green...

...I miss High Command.

Quick question, it's about Alt-modes, so I'm pretty sure I'm on-topic. o.o'

Whatever happened to the Sabre-Toothed Tiger alt?
I had Hoku as a Sabre-Tooth last time, and since I couldn't find it I went with the closest thing.
Are we ever going to have the sabre-tooth in a rotation, or have I been passing it the whole time?

Depends on your faction.

If you are a 'bot or 'con, its highly unlikely that you will get the animal alts you had before the reset.

Try checking this link: http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... tmodes.php
(only works for bots and cons)

If its not on there and you are a G1 faction, you wont be getting it without a one-way transfer to the beasts.

Ech, it's not on there.

Thank you for answering my question, though.
