whats would your favorite 3 modes be for a transformer i already drew a guy called sharp-drive who transforms into a hammerhead shark,formula 1 race car and robot :shock:

Tank and jet will be the ideal modes. Fire power and mobility.

Hippymule, your signature is massively over the size restrictions, please resize it.

As to your topic:

That's actually really cool, because the similarity in form is definitely there to make for a plausible transformation, as well as a functional one.

If I were going to be a triplechanger, I'd definitely be thinking environmental or tactical versatility. Your robot mode is already plenty terrestrial, if not fast, so having an alt that can run aquatic/subaquatic plus an alt that can fly air/space at a decent speed would be good.

Maybe:

Small Submarine/A-10
Large Submarine/Space Shuttle
Mako Shark/F-22 (Not sure if you could really pull that off)
Sea Lion/Harrier
Lionfish/Satellite
Manta Ray/Stealth Bomber
Liopleurodon/B-1 Lancer
Sea Turtle/Spaceship

I'm still fond of the Fox/Jet/Robot triplechanger I designed but the functional overlap between a fox and a robot was really pointless.

A Dragon/Jet triple changer. That is how I have always imagined the way I would have a custom character. Someone who could fit into both G1-type and Beast Wars scenarios with ease while combining two of the most awesome alt modes.

Robot, F-15 Eagle, Lamborghini Countach

Two of my first HMW characters, Gladius and Spatha, were supposed to be like that, but I could never figure out how to make it work, so they just wound up being jets. :-(

That's got to be a gigantic Countach, or a miniaturized F-15.

Compared to the Autobot Jet Fighter/Aircraft Carrier triplechanger, that's nothing.

Thats Broadside dude.

Ok. I kinda have a faint memory of this aircraft carrier dude. From brochures of long ago.

Imagine a jet fighter, which can land on an aircraft carrier, can also transform into one; wherein it can carry 50 or so jet fighters, like himself!
