The Energon Pub

A few weeks ago their was a post on what vehicle alt modes you wanted to see transformers have. I decided to do a new one that factors in both vehicle and animal alts. I also decided to link pics for some of the cooler/weirder/more obscure ones.

God bless America where people won't really get shot for saying things like this.

lol sorry dude, a porcupine fish puffer is what did it in for me.

You got a BIG imagination. You should write your own storyline and try to incorporate some of these alt modes.

OSPREY ROCKS!!!

Well, I can scratch a few off your list:

Ankylosaurus: BW Neo Bazooka(also in Armada Dinobots): http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery.php?id=882&size=0&start=0

Packy: BW Neo Hardhead(also in Beast Machines): http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery.php?id=876&size=0&start=0

Osprey(I think they're coming out with a movie figure soon), but till then, Armada Makeshift(also in Universe): http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery.php?id=281&size=0&start=0

GoBots took care of a few other of your wants:

Garbage Truck: Flytrap: http://www.toyarchive.com/Gobots/Regular/FlyTrap.html

Forklift: Spoons: http://www.toyarchive.com/Gobots/Regular/Spoons.html

Dual Rotor Helicoptor: Twin Spin: http://www.toyarchive.com/Gobots/Regular/TwinSpin.html

And I want a Segway transformer.

Actually I have two story ideas kicking around in my head, the big problem is for me the fun is thinking up ideas. Writing them down bores me.

Actually, I think a transmformers movie style Garbage truck woudl work. They're common enough to be in disguise, and they're pretty hefty and durable vechicles. I'd really like to see a well-done one.

Stealth jets, dammit.

Love the idea of the sea knight, also known as a Chinook (or wokka wokka, due too the noise the dual set of blades makes)
