most absurd alt mode

[Autocon]

dont know if its been done before

which TF has the most weird absurd strange bizare alt mode that just gets u thinking why did they do that

[Bartrim]

I know it fits in with the story but I can't figure out Botanica. I just think it's silly.

Aw man... the Beast Machines Maximals... the fact that Hasbro needs to label the beast modes on the package to tell you what the hell they're meant to be speaks volumes. (-_-)

Beast Machines Silverbolt... that condor mode is epic fail.

Botanica is a failure for me because her alt mode was so wtf that there was not even a toy for her character ( I know Arcee and other characters also had no toy created, but I think Botanica's was purely for wtf reasons).

A few of the late G1 figures with "futuristic ____" as their alt mode annoyed me too.

Didn't Daniel get a transforming Exosuit in the movie? That'd have to be the worst alt-mode by default...

[Thanatos]

Personally I think Cosmos is a bit absurd.

He's not exactly "in Disguise", you know?

Animated Megatron . Cybertron mode. You dont even know which part is which - where's the cockpit in that er... thing, if it is a ship

I think that Soundwave's cartoon Cybertronian mode is quite appropriate ( but I need to do a TF Mosaic or something to explain )

I nominate Grandslam and Raindance.

They turn from cassettes into a tank and a jet. So how do they open doors, or use computers, or scratch themselves? How impratical is it to not have a head at all? Their only way around this is to combine into their gestalt form which means they are totally dependent on each other to fit in to normal TF society.

I agree. Soundwave's cybertronian alt mode may look lame but is highly practical at intercepting transmissions and overall intelligence gathering.

I think we have a new contender for lame alt modes with the Animated Jetstorm/Jetfire twins. Their alt modes look horrendous and their cobined form is not even a combination at all, just a pair of 'somethings' stuck at the bottom.
