    That's not really a hidden feature so much as a "badly contorted robot kinda sorta looks like something if I want badly enough to believe it does". By that logic, every single Transformer has infinity alt-modes.

    Would've been nice if you had provided a picture. Visual aides are very helpful.

    I'd say this would be better suited for the "Fanmodes" thread.

    The ability to admit your mistakes is better than violently defending a fanmode as an intentional design.

    Generations Springer has Missles molded in his yellow shoulder armor...as if he wasn't armed up enough DSCN0979.JPG

    also a I found a thread on Seibertron that has a more fitting name for what normally happens here
    "Things your Transformers can do that you never realised"
    It;s where i learned of the missiles in Springer's shoulders...

    He means like this

    Skytread is ready for flight, just insert a titan master like so and...close it up and he fits fully in and the jet closes up

    ....Somewhere someone might be reading my messages mentally in the voice of Claptrap

    Not a feature per say but TR Bumblebee has a sculpted license plate with Movie Bee's plate number on it. I thought that was pretty neat.

    I'm not going to read this entire thread to see if anyone else said this, but:

    Rid 2001/Car robots Ultra/God Magnus has seats inside the truck mode, and they fit titan masters perfectly!

    I modded mine to fit TM's in head mode, plus I gave him a different bot mode.

    Oh, whoops. It's 100STRA, I only recognized the letters so I assumed it was the same. Still a neat homage.

    Resurrecting this thread with an actual cool hidden feature. Did anyone else notice those little tabs on the bottom of TR Sixshot's dinky little guns? I've been trying to figure out what those were for and I finally did. I didn't know about it for a while, but his wings actually have rectangular tabs that snap in when you swing them out. These tabs on the guns are for mounting them on his back in robot mode with their holes, and the tabs on the wings actually help hold them in. DSCF2840.JPG DSCF2841.JPG

    I wonder if there's any one of his modes that actually use that too. Not his wolf because the're the tail, I can't think of any other use besides what you've shown.

    So this one might not have been intentional but it's really cool nonetheless. I was fiddling with TR Powermaster Prime and I was trying to figure out a way to integrate the Thrilling 30 Roller somehow. I switched Prime to truck mode and hid Roller back in the trailer. Funny thing is though, there is a spot where he seems to fit perfectly. On the area where his chestpiece is folded down, you can actually slot Roller in and he's actually held in place! I'll have to get pictures at some point, but I just thought it was cool how perfectly he fit back there.

    Here's a little something that probably everyone has figured out about everyone's favorite CW helicopter. Alpha Bravo and his various repaints/retools feature those stand/stage arm ports on the bottoms of their feet as well as in the inside of the legs.
