OK, who are the triple changing cybertron figures? I know some so here it goes:

Optimus prime- Flying truck mode and futuristic truck mode
Megatron- Futuristic jet mode and Futuristic car mode
Scorponok- Scorpion mode(or maybe a tank like scorpion mode)and Futuristic plane/jet mode

Any more?

Shortround: Hovercraft mode/toilet mode

Technically Metroplex had a 'Super mode', doggy mode, and olympic powerlifter mode.

Oh right i remember that one but what i'm saying is the official modes

In Demolishor's instructions it shows how to change him into an attack base.

Primus

Wing Saber?

Ok, change that subject i just did, who are the triple changers in any serteis including the old g1!. Can you guys be more specific like example

Springer- Car mode and Heli mode.

Biltzwing- Tank mode and jet mode.

Not=

Springer

Biltzwing

Coz i won't know what modes they had...

You've mentioned Blitzwing and Springer so:

Astrotrain: Train, Space Shuttle,
Broadside: Aircraft Carrier, Jet
Octane: Jet, Tanker Truck.
Sand Storm: Sand Buggy, Helicopter.
Overcharge: Blitzwing Repaint.

Beastwars transmetals 2 all had 3 modes. Vehicle, Beast, Robot.

Waspinator: Jet, Wasp.

I.ll post more when i can think of them.

It was actually the regular Transmetals that had three modes. TM2 cut the third mode out in favor of spark crystals.

Most of the Transmetals' third mode was really just a minor modification, but I'll try an list them anyway.

Optimus Primal: Gorilla, Gorilla on a Hoverboard
Cheetor: Cheetah, Cheetah with rocket engines
Airrazor: Falcon, Pontoon plane
Rhinox: Rhino, Snowmobile
Rattrap: Rat, Roadster
Depth Charge: Manta Ray, Flying Manta Ray

Megatron: T-Rex, T-Rex on roller skates with VTOL engines
Terrorsaur: Pteranodon(sp), Jet powered glider?
Inferno(Scavenger): Fire Ant, Drilling Machine
Taratunlas: Spider, Motorcycle
Rampage: King Crab, Tank
Waspinator: Wasp, Jet(as mentioned above)

That's all the ones I can remember off-hand.

Let's not forget the Headmaster Horrorcons:

Apeface: Jet, gorilla
Snapdragon: Jet, theropod dinosaur (like T-Rex)

And publicvisage, Terrosaur's beast mode name is spelled "Pteranodon", or (less correct) "Pterodactyl".

Thanks.

I suppose its also worth mentioning that several of Transmetals were repainted as Botcon exclusives and such.

Cybertron Hot Shot was repainted as G1 Springer as an exclusive but was ironically not a triple changer.

On topic:
Armada and Energon Tidal Wave - aircraft carrier and 3 flying craft

Armada Overrun - jet and hand gun

ahh yes you are correct, m bad. and also about the Third Mode being just a simple modification I think Waspinator is the only ne to have a real Third mod, that isn't just his beast mode with a few add ons. It actually looks like a plane.


anyway if we are going the minicon way, there are quire a few minicons with 3 modes.

Also there is Energon Shockwave. Cannon, Satellite, "Gun".

Yeah, Waspinator has a great vehicle mode(it gets kudo points for being similar to the Seekers' plane modes, as Waspy was possessed by Starscream durin the show!), I just wish they had found a way to hid the wasp's head.

guys, speaking of Beast Wars, i think we're all forgetting the big daddy of multiple-changing bots: Optimal Optimus. this guy had 4 modes i believe.

:MAX:

Damn you, I was about to mention him too. Awesome character too. Autobot Optimus Primal FTW

Crap. I knew I was forgetting someone.

Optimus Primal is the biggest of all?

Sixshot had six modes: Car, Tank, Plane, Wolf, Gun.

As did his Japanese only repaint/remold Greatshot: Car, Tank, Plane, Rhino, Gun.

Quickswitch(Sixknight), a completely new mold, also had six modes: Tank, Plane, Puma, Cruiser, Gun.

Yet both are outdone by Rid Megatron/Galvatron( Car Robots Devil Gigatron) who has a whopping 10 modes, one of them being a hand:

http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery.php?id=487&size=0&start=0

Modes being: Hand, Jet, Twin Dragon, Car, Boat, Griffin, Regular Dragon, Bat, and Iron Mammoth.

Regular Car Robots Gigatron only had six modes.(No boat, Griffin, Single Dragon, or Iron Mammoth).

Oh, and Beast Wars II Galvatron has three modes: Dragon/Tank

What about everyones favourite Zombie Scorpion Dark Scorponok?

Beast Wars 2 Galvatron had 3 modes (Robot, Driller, Dragon).

RID Megatron/Galvatron had 10 modes (Robot, car, plane, boat, hand, two head dragon, griffin, elephant, dragon and bat).

And I second the fact that Waspinator had the best Transmetal Alt mode. If not for the huge Wasp head in the way, it'd be a damn fine plane mode. Most of the other Transmetal vehicle modes were tacky.


Crap...I just noticed Duke beat me to mentioning BW2 Galvatron and RID Megatron/Galvatron. Guess I should have read the second page...
