Go to the Upgrade tab on your TFs profile page, then click Reset Transformer at the bottom. You can then select a new altmode and reconfigure your character's stats.

Reset them. You will lose the armor and have to reallocate the exp. That is also how you can change the name of them.

Edit: Beaten to the punch.

Not really an issue right now, given how new you are, but if you reset your Transformer and he has a rare alt mode, you won't be able to get it back.

Rare alts are any that arnt normally available. At the moment they only become available when one of the powers that be see fit to let them be (ie as rewards after tournies and the like). This should change to an extent when the auto alt rotation FINALLY comes into existence. There will still be rare alts, but they will at least stand a chance of being available once in a blue moon.

So I dont have to start a new thread -

IIRC It doesnt actually say anywhere when you reset that you lose your altmode when doing so, its says reset stats and abilites - nothing about your alt.

Is it possible it could be added near the button that resetting also means there is a chance you will lose your altmode if its not a core alt? (or less words to that effect)
