    Mainly robot mode for me. G1 Masterpiece, Siege, and Earthrise are almost all displayed in bot mode. I keep my vintage G1 bots mostly in alt mode.....for now.

    Robot mode for me. Mainly due to space, but also, like @waflhaus91 said, if I wanted to display cars, I'd collect cars. Not that I don't love the alt modes, just not for display.

    No option for both? I rarely if ever have all just robots or alt modes.

    I second or third or forth this.. many stated both, and I add my name to "both".

    Depends on the figure, some look better displayed in one mode, and for my collection I have Siege and CW/POTP (and others) in diorama style displays, and a lot of the older stuff in vehicle mode.

    I like to have some of them in Alt mode and some in Bot mode, I find the display much more dynamic this way.
    And I tend to transform some of them every 2 weeks - 20 days. I do this cause this way I don´t feel the need to buy something new every week!!!

    Yup, this. Right now I have siege Megatron in tank mode because I fancy it so; next week I might transform it back. And it's the same for a bunch of others.

    I'm definitely planning to have someone (probably Sideswipe) mid-transformation as he moves out :)

    Robot mode for the vast majority. I probably only have the Dinobots and Insecticon doubles/clones displayed in alt mode, maybe a Seeker or two.

    Mostly robots.
    Those who aren't, I played with them, took pictures in alt mode, and was too lazy to transform them all back to robot mode...

    I like to constantly transform back and forth and display together. At one point I had my La Hire Hot Rod on top of and attacking my OSKO SS Brawl in tank mode.
