Can tfs drop their earth mode?

Can Transformers get rid of their earth forms somehow, and go back to being in their cybertronian forms?

Probably. Or they need to rescan their Cybertronian modes.

Do you mean just shrug it off and revert back to an earlier form like they have it as a stored back-up mode? Or reformat to the form they were before? I agree with the above they'd probably have to rescan or recover the data from somewhere if they can't find the particular alt they want to rescan in person. Can't remember where it was from but there was one TF giving out alt mode scan data to everyone to reformat into.

TFs in the current IDW comics have pretty much all dropped their Earth modes. I don't think it mentions if they were rebuilt, scanned and reformatted or just somehow back-dated their bodies to an earlier format.

Animated Sentinel Prime did. He even went back to his Earth mode once Magnus said he'd be keeping his artillery platform mode.

Also the IDW TFs change modes more often then I change my underpants. It's redonkulous.

I always thought the idea of simply 'rescanning' for a new alt mode was crap.

I accepted it in the first Bay Movie because it helped facilitate the story, but in all other TF media alternate modes should only be possible with complete rebuilds, ie, after getting all smashed up when your ship crashed into a mountain.

How do you do that exactly? There are no real cars on Cybertron. Do you have to scan another Transformer?
