Can we start a list of the Automorph Technologies and give them a rating!
1. BumbleBee Classic Camaro Deluxe, Front chestplate snaps down.
2. Voyager OP, Back of Cab crumples(?) to form lower legs. Sides with flames twist and movie in place.
Ratings:
1. B+, Good, but the button protrudes a bit too high.
2. B+, Really cool, but there's no morph button, you just pull
What else is out there folks?

Join Date: Jun 2002 Posts: 11,338 Location: Better than yours News Credits: 10 | Voyager Ironhide's entire lower legs + feet are one of the first and best Automorph engineering jobs I got to mess around with.  They transform from two large blocks into two multipanelled legs just by pulling down the feet, pretty much.
Concept Camaro Bumblebee also has some impressive interlocky stuff in his chest/shoulders and lower legs, too.

Rating: -37 x 10^428u9472974557925742. It's total rubbish, doesn't line up correctly in helicopter mode.
ROTF Sideswipe = Awesome!

#6 | | Animated tops it all! Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 19,369 Location: Somewhere beyond the sea... Collection Count: ...Somewhere waiting for me... News Credits: 1 | I would rate both BB's automorphs as solid A-. Classic 'Bee's hood and leg automorphs rock, same with CC BB.
Leader Meg's automorph gets an A+. (Wings, chest, legs) Prime's chest gets a B.
Yoyager Ratchet's legs get a B, and IH legs and chest together get a B+.
Jazz's chest gets a C+.
I like Starscream's chest automorph as simple as it is, so it gets a B-.
Blackout, C- as is, B+ once corrected.
Leader Brawl's chest, gun and legs altogether get a B+ from me.
Dropkick gets a C for his head popping out. Awesome figure, but lame automorph.
And those are all the figures with Automorph I've got. Barricade has none and I don't really count BC's automorph since it's just on his claw arm. AFAIK, Scorps has none, as well. XBL GT: SPLITTLIP Quote:

Ratchet's feet are connected to his kneecaps and the inside of his legs which bulge a little.
Starscream's whole chest is one big automorphin'... uhh... thing.
Leader Prime's head pops up and his chest windows separate at the push of a button. His gun swivels onto his hand as you slide a lever forward.
Jazz's roof, when clicked into place in robot mode makes his head pop up.
Dropkick's doors open when you lift his front wheels and sides of the truck hood during transformation.
Deluxe Brawl's tank treads rotate up around his head.

I think automorph is one of the best gimmicks I've seen so far! (I've seen some bad ones, ugh who can forget "pretenders"... freaky)
