All the cassets, (with the exceptions of Rumble, Frenzy, Eject, and Rewind) Sky-linx, and Nobal/Savage as far as I know are the only ones who don't have robot modes. (This is not counting the BW Mutants who never appeared on the show anyway.)
Are there any others like this? Possibly even a Transformer with 2 vehicle modes and no robot or beast modes?

All of the cassettes and Sky-lynx have robot modes just because they aren't humanoid doesn't mean that they aren't robots.
Isn't the TF that just have only one mode more of an interesting topic?

This is all wrong. Robot = What all Transformers are, that's what you're talking about.
Robot Mode = Humanoid form. Hence a vehicular form is a vehicle, and a beast form is a beast mode, ect.
You wouldn't bother calling different Modes by different names if they were all robot modes. Sky-lynx Transforms from Beast Mode to Vehicle Mode, he is a robot but he doesn't have a Robot mode.
You didn't really read my entire post did you. I just went through all the trouble of exsplaining the difference between a "robot" and a "robot mode" for nothing.DJDrew&ScoobyDoo wrote:Err, I gotta disagree. Robot=Humanoid=WRONG.
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.

robot "MODE" = Homanoid form

The Robot "Mode" only refers to their humanoid form. Go to any web site and you'll see 4 basic catigorys. Beast, Vehicle, Random Objects, and Robot. Beast obviously refers to modes such as animal like forms (weather they be natural looking or robotic they still count as beast modes). Vehicle mode obviously refers to any form of transportation. Random Object are the other misc. items such as Tape Players, Cameras, weapons, ect. Robot mode are anything that doesn't fall under the first 4 catigorys and guess whhat? The only thing that doesn't fall under the first 3 catigorys are their Humanoid forms.
When the hell have you ever heard of any site refer to a "Humanoid Mode"
And Burn your definition has no relivence. We're not argueing weather or not the Transformers are Robots. The whole thing has to do with what their Humanoid forms are refered to as. No matter where you look you're going to see "Robot Mode" refering to humanoid forms, nothing elce.

That was the entire point of the topic so yes.Robinson wrote:Does it really matter what "mode" the fictional creations are classified in?
There is no real robot form. No matter what mode they're in they're still robots weather they be in alt mode or not. Being trying to say that the whole time, you're arguing agenst yourself.Predaprince wrote:If you agree that all TFs are robots, which seems obvious, then why do you have a problem with the idea that robot mode refers to showing yourself as your real robot form (which may or may not be humanoid).
Alternate mode = being in disguise as an Earth item
Robot mode = showing that you are a robot (humanoid or not)
Maximals being in beast mode is not the same thing as Sky-lynx being in his robot mode (which happens to be beasts not humanoid).
