Deliberate Mistransformations

[SharkyMcShark]

About the only 'mistransformation' i've done is with my CHUG BattleTrap. In combined robot mode the rotor on his back sits flush and rigid with his torso which doesn't make for very dynamic posing. I found online a 'fan mode' to still have the rotor 'backpack' plugged in so it can be free-spinning and still looks good and he has his full range of motion now.

Battletrap is one of mine too. My preference re the bacpack is to use the big chunky tab/slot that's used in copter mode to lock the arms together to secure them as a backpack. You end up with the chopper blade between the torso and backpack, but it's doesn't flop about.

I also prefer to bend Roadtrap's arms 90 degrees at the elbow in combined mode. Otherwise I find that the arms interfere with the ankle articulation.

G1 Dirge, Ramjet and Thrust have the nosecones left up.

G1 Hot Rod has the neck piece behind the chest rather than in front of it.

G1 Omega Supreme (and Converters Omegatron for that matter) have two parts of the track attached to the backpack rather than all six pieces.

G1 Megatron has his legs spread further apart to help him stand.

These examples are more for aesthetics rather than mistransformations. I do the same for G1 Coneheads and Omega Supreme.

Isn't there a tab on Hot Rod's head/chest piece for that specific purpose? To tab in behind the chest, or am I having a Mandela Effect moment?

Yeah, the head/neck is meant to sit in front of the chest, but I never liked that. So mine is mistransformed by having the neck piece behind the chest.

I deliberately mistransform these figures for aesthetics, yes.

For the glaring obvious reason. *chuckles*

I knew someone was gonna go there.

I don't fold CW Prowl's backpack thing all the way down and turn it up to give him his wings in some crude fashion. I also fold the combiner peg and his chestplate out at 45 degrees to get rid of the flat chest.

Did the leg swap on Alternators Prowl so the rear windshield goes on his shins like the G1 version.

United Tracks’s legs are mistransformed/reversed so the car bonnet makes up his shin armour and he’s a bit taller than his mouldmate Wheeljack.

As a kid, I used to mistransform Scattershot of the Technobots to have a giant ding dong in robot mode. But everyone did that, right?

Nope. But that one sounds like great gif material.
