God, it's been so long since I posted on here. It's good to be home.

Anyway, onto business. Sometimes, when I get a new Transformer, I'll reconfigure it (usually its vehicle form) into a "Cybertronian" form, trying to emulate how their former altmode would look. For example, I recently grabbing Prime Soundwave, and gave him a satellite form, kind of homaging his Bayverse counterpart.

I'm just curious, does anyone else do this? (Pictures are welcome, and strongly encouraged.)

I gave Prime Arcee a cybertronian hoverbike mode. I do it on occasion, but only if it works.

Does Shortround's toilet mode count?

I'd say yes.

He had to have SOME job before the war, right?

And if Tailgate can be a bomb disposer, Shortround could look after another kind of ..disposal.

Back to the original question....

No, I don't. I don't really like Cybertronian modes. I think it takes more ingenuity to design something that turns into a recognisable earth mode so I appreciate them more.

War Within Onslaught's vehicle mode always reminds me of his G1 toy's base mode.

Be nice if they brought out a new line of triple changers where they have an Earth mode and a Cybertronian mode.

Do robots even excrete waste through their rear?

Doesn't matter - he used to be an Organic Lifeform Interface Specialist.

So he "Interfaced" at a local amusment park about 25-30 times a day

Not necessarily "cybertronian" modes, but I *do* enjoy a good fan-mode.

HFTD Breacher has a nifty centaur-car mode.



Dropkick's always fun gerwalk truck mode.


Also available with guns!



Nitro Bumblebee can pull off a stealth force-flight mode thing.

It also results in having all of his 5mm ports available at once, if that interests ya.

PRiD Voyager Optimus has a fairly believeable flight mode, just needs some rocket boots!

(I apologize for the clutter in the picture)

And cyberverse commander Sentinel Prime gets his just desserts in the afterlife as a chair. (I can't take credit for this one though! I'll try to find the original post that it's from if I can.)



By the way, are there any other transformers with head sculpts very similar to Breacher's? I freaking LOVE his head sculpt.
