No, it was a black hole slightly outside the Transformers Universe, as are the Star Wars Transformers. If any official fiction acknowledges either of these, then we can start bitching about it for real.
Moving on, a snail or hermit crab transformer would probably be a nice way to get a beast-mode TF with either a combat deck style base or a super mode. Hell, they can even be a slug or a normal crab when separated from the shell... Which means for the snail, they could recycle the name "Slugfest" or "Slugslinger"

A reverse gestalt! A perfectly normal Transformer for the most part, but he can split into a troop of tiny robots without their own individual alt modes.

EDIT: I just realized the MOST obvious alt mode that nobody's brought up... Human.
But how would that work? how would a humanoid robot transform into a human? Would you have some bizzare way of turning the whole robot inside out to reveal clothes and fake hair on the inside?
I hadn't really thought about that, but when I mentioned the idea, I knew already that I wasn't the first one to think of this. Dave Van Domelin has already followed the idea through to its conclusion.
Nice shirt, Dave.

Animals are okay, I suppose, because they're sort of cute and, well, we eat or wear them. But I can imagine Hasbro ending up in all sorts of drama if a child spends his playtime 'dissecting' human flesh and bones to reveal a robot underneath, or lifting off a human face to reveal the robot face.

i could see him/them now... a superior mini-gestalt named sixpack who deconstructs similar to Devestator, but is an amazingly capable soldier as he began as one and latter gained the altmode army of six. His component parts would each be abouth the size of a minibot, making him perhaps a head taller than Grimlock.

Sort of reminds me of an idea I want to see sometime. A transformable gestalt. Picture this. A space shuttle transformer consisting of the shuttle, the main fuel tank, the two side tanks, and a bay on the back that opens to reveal a mechanical manipulator claw and a sattelite. Now picture the shuttle being the main body of a robot, the sattleite the head, the main fuel tank the legs, the side tanks as the arms. Now picture all these components detaching and being able to transform themselves. thus you have sattelite to robot, big fuel tank to robot, shuttle to robot, and 2 side fuel tanks to 2 robots.

Kind of like G1 Omega but a little more gimmicky.

I had an idea for an update of the pretenders concept too. Picture this. A small transformer, maybe bumblebee sized, with a realistic alt mode. It's outer shall is also a transformer. Basicly the pretender shell is not so much a disguise as it is a way to let smaller transformers interact and compete with larger ones as equals.

I think there were a couple that had transforming shells. Wasn't Thunderwing one of them?

Wasn't G2 Dreadwing/RID Dreadwing/Robot Masters Gigant Bomb/BW II BB B-2s? I mean, more or less?

Totally forgot about him, but still a Hummer H1 hasn't been done to my knowledge(which is apparntly more limited than I realized).

Ironfist is a mold that should have come over in Machine Wars or Universe. I like the look of it.
