    Have you ever seen a transformer with a weird alt mode(s)? If so, post it here. I'll start by listing a few.

    RID Megatron/Galvatron
    BWN Sling flower mode
    Cybertron Shockwave claw mode

    "Cybertron Shockwave claw mode"? (Not to be pedantic, but it's "ShockBLAST") Regardless, I was unaware that he had a "claw mode". I thought he was a triple changer whose alternate modes were a strange Cybertronian tank and a strange Cybertronian satellite.

    The G1 Monsterbots. Doublecross turns into a two headed dragon which is cool but then you have Repugnus and Grotusque who transform from robot to bipedal cockroach man? A tiger gargoyle?

    Pretty much everything Quickswitch/Greatshot turns into other than a wolf is a weird, unintelligable mess.

    Those bat things in season three that transform into missles. that was kinda weird.

    Headmasters are weird compared to other *masters. though no where near as weird as the breastforce. by far the weirdest most nonsensical transformer gimmick to date.

    cosmos being a UFO is kind of out there. i mean where did he get his scan from?

    and finally, Cybertron Metroplexs alt mode while a real construction vehicle, a very odd looking 1 at that.

    The only weird alt mode that I can think of is Magnatron's dinosaur centipede. Personally, I consider alt modes like RiD Megatron's hand mode to be ridiculously awesome.

    Actually, there was a mini-con in Cybertron named Shockwave. Also, Shockblast does not have a claw mode.

    Signal Lancer and Dispensor for turning into oddly useless alt modes.

    G1 Blot and some of the monster pretenders for the 'what was that supposed to be factor'

    Holy crap! He totally IS a gargoyle!!! I can't believe after all these years, I'm finally getting it now! :eek: 

    I was always confused by his alt-mode... some kind of tiny-winged walrus-cat thing, with that weird gritty texture on his head. GARGOYLE! Wallpaper of the day: Gargoyles | Gargoyles wallpapers. Makes so much sense now! :thumb  As for Repugnus' cockroach-man thing... I have no idea. I mean, bug-man... alien... I guess he's some kind of monster, right?

    Maybe that was his original Cybertronian mode? I mean, if your job is to spend all your time in space, why bother with a disguise?

    Technically not a raccoon. More like a very tubby fox indigenous to Japan. I like the fact that he also has robo-testicles, and a sake bottle and buddhist scriptures that combine into a gun. :D 

    I always saw him as a subtle Beastbox homage. What about Blot? Just what the hell IS he?? Or the Seacons... a bunch of marine life with arms and legs??

    As for weird alt-modes, I know this isn't the official BW II Galvatron transformation, but I still consider this to be one for your nightmares:

    Agreed on Blot, he's... whatever the hell he is. Up there with Rippersnapper's Vesharkiraptor alt mode.
