whats would your favorite 3 modes be for a transformer i already drew a guy called sharp-drive who transforms into a hammerhead shark,formula 1 race car and robot

Tank and jet will be the ideal modes. Fire power and mobility.

Hippymule, your signature is massively over the size restrictions, please resize it.

As to your topic:

That's actually really cool, because the similarity in form is definitely there to make for a plausible transformation, as well as a functional one.

If I were going to be a triplechanger, I'd definitely be thinking environmental or tactical versatility. Your robot mode is already plenty terrestrial, if not fast, so having an alt that can run aquatic/subaquatic plus an alt that can fly air/space at a decent speed would be good.

Maybe:

Small Submarine/A-10
Large Submarine/Space Shuttle
Mako Shark/F-22 (Not sure if you could really pull that off)
Sea Lion/Harrier
Lionfish/Satellite
Manta Ray/Stealth Bomber
Liopleurodon/B-1 Lancer
Sea Turtle/Spaceship


I'm still fond of the Fox/Jet/Robot triplechanger I designed but the functional overlap between a fox and a robot was really pointless.

A Dragon/Jet triple changer. That is how I have always imagined the way I would have a custom character. Someone who could fit into both G1-type and Beast Wars scenarios with ease while combining two of the most awesome alt modes.

Robot, F-15 Eagle, Lamborghini Countach

Two of my first HMW characters, Gladius and Spatha, were supposed to be like that, but I could never figure out how to make it work, so they just wound up being jets.

That's got to be a gigantic Countach, or a miniaturized F-15.

Compared to the Autobot Jet Fighter/Aircraft Carrier triplechanger, that's nothing.

Which figure is that?

Thats Broadside dude.

Ok. I kinda have a faint memory of this aircraft carrier dude. From brochures of long ago.

Imagine a jet fighter, which can land on an aircraft carrier, can also transform into one; wherein it can carry 50 or so jet fighters, like himself!

Only in the world of Transformers are such things possible.
