It's here, it's real, it's not a fake, forgery, or other form of counterfeit.
The final entry in my list of things that it sucks to turn into!
#1: Trailers!As stated previously, this is a list of the few, the proud, the ones that have horrible standalone alt-modes. And something that needs to be towed is definitely at the top of my list.
The Trailer. The Caboose. The Thing-Being-Hauled-Behind-The-Important-Guy. Only a brave few robots ever stoop this low on the alt-mode ladder.
Let us pity them together...
Are we there yet? I can't see a damn thing back here!If you thought I was done making fun of Godbomber, you were mistaken.
Again, technically Godbomber is not a sentient robot, I know this. He was built to be hauled and worn, and occasionally to babysit the kids. If he were a sentient machine he probably would have offlined himself long ago, once he came to the realization that aside from his robot mode, on his own he's completely useless.
Next up, we have a topic of recent discussion in this thread. Depending on what continuity you subscribe to, these next candidates could potentially be ineligible for this category. I am, of course, referring to...
Mini-Con Camping Trip.
Overload and his Energon repaint Ultra Magnus are, by Hasbro pack-in comic continuity standards (and club fiction standards) sentient machines who's Mini-Cons (Rollout and Knock-Out) haul them as trailers, and powerlinx with them to create a mutual robot mode. The Mini-Cons, however, have their own individual robot modes and can leave the trailers behind any time they want. This in turn means that without The 'Out Twins these robots are just a touch more helpless than the Headmasters in G1's "Rebirth" story without their heads. At least the Headmasters could move their own vehicle modes.
... And... that's it. That's the Top Five. Sad to see this list come to a close, but I s'pose if I think of anything else there can be honourable mentions and the like. We'll see...
Thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed the list. I hope that everybody liked reading this as much as I did writing it, and look forward to my next list should I ever come up with something this good again.

That's pretty much bottom of the ladder right there.
