So, flipping through the Dreamwave profile books, I noticed that all the sentient Action Master partners were designated Targetmasters. This got me to thinking: what other toys kinda fit in with gimmics that they were not created for? I'll give an example: Overlord, while a Powermaster, is also a Duocon. His bot mode breaks down into two vehicles, and cannot make his robot mode properly without both vehicles. By this notion, G1 Omega Supreme is a "Duocon" as well.
Can any one think of any other examples?

Tigerhawk is sort of a Fuzor, and sort of a Triplechanger.
Armada Sideways' Mini-cons act as headmasters.
A great many Mini-cons are effectively targetmasters. | |

Plus about 6 other transforming toys. News Credits: 1 | Most of the Mini-cons fit into Target/Head/Power Master subgroups, though the defining difference was no tthe mini-con itself, but the TF they go to. Like Armada Wheeljack was a Powermaster design, a Minicon was essential to it's transformation. As mentioned, Sideways was a Headmaster, and Cybertron Vector Prime was a Targetmaster.  | |

Explain. | Actualy, he did have a tank mode, not just microscope mode.
He folds in half at the waist and the cannon/scope fits on his back.
I thought it was an advertised mode though? The E-hobby version had the tank mode advertised.

To an extent, Megatron, Shockwave, Sixshot and Quickswitch COULD be considered Targetmasters. Megatron more than the others, as he was often shown in alt mode being held by another robot. Not so sure about Sixshot or Quickswitch, but Shockwave didn't mass-shift, so maybe not him. "READY THE WOMBAT LAUNCHER!"

Explain. | Like SPLIT LIP says, Perceptor has a tank mode. I think it may even have been used once or twice in some obscure fiction or another. | |
