I'm fascinated by designing, and what people can come up with. I'm wondering if you could design yourself as a Transformer what would you be? What faction, alt mode, would you be a triple changed? Would you have abilities that would make you a outlier? Would you go off of existing models or come up with your own.
I think I would like to be a hovercraft like Seaspray, except bigger. big enough for a small compliment of Autobots can ride, and sit in. You can call me Hover I'd have stealth abilities along with enough fire power for an attack or support role. In robot mode I'd be the the size of Skyfire with shoulder mounted rockets. Just to be a bit original I think a submarine third mode would cool for when you really need to go deep and silent.
So what do you think, and what would you do?

 

See Transformers the Sword of Primus for more detail.

Short version, Saber Prime is actually a future descendant of the Witwicky family. The sword releases nanobots which form around him turning him into a human/Transformer hybrid. His true identity is kept secret, most Transformers don't even realize there's a human pilot instead of a spark. Design wise I created him using an Energon Rodimus body, Armada Deluxe Optimus head. Repainting the body in prime colors which kinda makes him look like movie Prime except I made Saber before the movie Optimus was a thing. And the Sword while I never made this as a toy I did digibash this, the Star Saber mini-cons with different heads and color schemes. The blade mini-cons are entirely red and the handle is blue.

 

If I were a Transformer, I'd serve well as cannon fodder.   ...

I guess that I would be a fat helicopter bot. Autobot, likely, and I would probably end up hanging with Beachcomber and/or First Aid most of the time. The chopper's cockpit would serve as the gut and the rotor would flip to the back, revealing a partially red chest and arms formed from the tail. The head would be black, have a mouthplate and a red visor. Upper legs would be orange, the center of the chest would be too with two red parts on the outside. Green shoulders and orange forearms would help compliment the ugly color scheme. Black would carry over to the elbows, hands and feet. Ednus (haven't a clue if that means anything in real life) would be the name and you could probably guess the name of the Prime upgrade if that would somehow happen to cannon fodder dude.

 

I would be TARANTU-BITE! The most half-wolf half-spider Decepticon ever. An emisary of fear, master of all terrain. Cunning, yet swift. Tactical, yet vicious. The perfect predatory machine.

Gaze unto my works ye mighty, and shit your pants in terror.

 

I'd probably transform into a Wankel rotary engine.

 

See my username. Alltough i'd preferably be an Autobot.
And i'd probably have an industrial cleaner for an altmode instead of a cool jet.

 

I'd turn into a green Cadillac, with a transformation into a robot mode very similar to the Datsun brothers


With a head similar to that of Sideswipe from RID

It gives me a very anime lead protagonist hair style vibe

I'd wield a katana, holstered on my left hip.

And as much as I love the Decepticons though I'd be an Autobot

 

Uh duh, already am one.

 

Probably just a Generic Seeker.

 

But Jumbosaber was a Brave series character...!

 

I'd be an Autobot. Alt-mode would be a 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood 75, glossy black with silver/chrome accents. It is a massive tank of a car, earning the moniker of "land yacht." Like all big cars, it could be deceptively fast for its size and ride. Given that they were often used as limousines, let's punch up that idea and say that it is like the Presidential State Car, which has more in common with a tank than a car once you get past the looks.



Massive car = massive robot. I'd be like a linebacker for the Autobots, plowing through, taking hits, but shaking them off.

I'd likely go with the moniker of Cruiser.

In the toy world, I'd love to see a transformation for this massive vehicle in the style of RiD Vehicon, only upsized significantly.

 

DSV Alvin, or Voyager 2. Either way call me Darklight, dispelling the shadow of ignorance with the light of scientific inquiry. Powered by Pepsi, loaded nachos and solitude.

 

Tarantu-bite will not let you go to waste, dear comrade. You will make a fine spot for the half-web half-den so I might pounce unsuspecting prey.

 

Tarantu-bite has been known to appear at certain historical intervals.

 

I think most of us would make a fine army of generics  

 

This right here.

 

In BW, I'd probably be a jumping spider Maximal who'd be underestimated by everyone for being cute and even smaller than Rattrap. If I was a vehicle mode Transformer, I'd probably be a forklift Autobot... Who's still small. Although I'd use the prongs as swords.

 

Red and Violet dundbuggy with wheelyfeet in the robit mode.
