No Robot Mode

There is more to Transformers than movies, cartoons, comics and toys. Discuss anything else Transformers here.

I have a question.

How did this pirate thing start?

At any rate I'm getting really tired of this whole conversations so lets just skip it and say "I'm looking for Transformers without humanoid modes"



Early I said

A robot doesn't have to look like anything. However, if you are asking which characters don't have Humaniod Robot modes, then you may continue.


continue... :grin:

I don't know. It started in one of the welcome threads. I just hope it's not about sandworms and the like...ARRRRgh

Um... they talk, do stuff, move around, and fight in their alt modes too. Except for random ojects they just seem to sit there.

allisonaxe wrote:alt-mode is the disguise that it turns into (that sometimes has its own useful functionality as well.)


you were mentioning "beast mode" and, to me, that has always just been the same thing as calling the "alt-mode" the "car mode" or "jet mode." Grimlock has a "beast mode." so does Cheetor, Optimus Primal, or anyone else in Beast Wars. ratbat, ravage, etc. do NOT have beast-modes, because the 'animal form' is not the disguise, but rather, the form they take when NOT in disguise. Ravage is a cat-shaped robot that turns into a cassette tape.
Grimlock turns into a giant METAL DINOSAUR how is that in any way a "disguise" even if he looked like a real dino it wouldn't work in that time period because all the real dinos are dead.

Now can we please get back to real topic before I kill the cute little bunny rabbit? (threat taken from bus driver on South Park)

Kill the rabbit, this was never on topic because things weren't made clear in the first place.
People try to help but they just got blasted and ridiculed. sheesh.

Garr!! if it is a tale ye be wantin' then grab a keg o rum as I tell ye the tale of the good ship ODB. (and scroll to the 10th post matey)

T'was nought but a wind stirring on the decks of the ODB, moored near the Island of the Toys Forum, where me mateys were groggier than a sea turtle in a barrel of...grog, reliving days of treasures plundered. Me capn' was tellin' us of the horror of the landlubber that be called the dentist and the booty that be called the Titanium Ultra Magnus.

we were hatchin a plan ter make the scurvy dog walk the plank when dar be a mutiny by the cabin boy... t'was a bold move, he ate the capn's parrot no less, a crime punishable by tar an' featherin!

To learn more of the tale, head over to the good ship ODB, X marks the spot me hearties,

GAAARRR!

I'm allready sitting in the corrner, that just so happens to be where my computer is.

Now have fun destroying your planet and corrupting the minds of your children. We're just going to sit here and watch you die. You people are much more cruel to eachother than anything we could do, we'd just make it quick and painless for you, now you get to suffer. :DEVIL:

Weapon: Venom Blaster
Robots needn't be humanoid. Technically, they just need to be programmable machines. (Some have argued a definition that says a robot is a machine that can autonomously react to its environment. That's a pretty good definition, too.)

If you go into the original coinage of the word, a robot was a clone of a human. That definition hasn't been used since Forbidden Planet gave us Robbie the Robot.

So, what you seem to want to do is compile a list of TF's without a humanoid form. It's mean of people to degrade the topic as "uninteresting." (Shame on you, if you think a topic is uninteresting, don't post on it.) This topic is just as worthy as those who wanted to compile a list of dragon TF's.

So...
Non-humanoid TF's

You can add movie Scorponok to your list. As far as the movie is concerned. Although the toy has some sort of trying-hard humanoid form. The transformation really sucks.
