CRAZIEST TRANSFORMERS DESIGNS

[@christopheraustin5915]

IDW’s Rung never transformed around anyone else, so the crew of the Lost Light held a bet to see who could figure out what it was first.

[@minimalbstolerance8113]

I remember that issue! "We're holding an alt-mode party! Come and join in!" "How do you reach your drinks?" "Ah." Also, not 100% sure about this, but didn't it eventually turn out that Rung was actually a god who transformed into a big lever for turning on some Cybertronian relic or something like that?

[@voidspine]

​@@minimalbstolerance8113 He's Primus! And I think his alt-mode was somehow used to make the Matrix?

[@serPomiz]

@@voidspine the canonical alt mode is a crystal-generator, generating the smae cristals the matrix is made of I like the healbeam of the siege targetmaster figure tho

[@tinyshinyfeathers]

I believe it was implied that his alt-mode, aside from being capable of producing Matrices, was the key to Vector Sigma? I may be remembering incorrectly.

[@serPomiz]

@@tinyshinyfeathers no, that was the functionist excuse to open vector sigma. the functionist council combined into the key to vector sigma, but the key was not needed to access it in the first place, rung was completely unneeded

Funny thing about Sky-Byte teaming up wih Jazz in the IDW comics. At least one species of shark has shown a preference for jazz music in a series of tests to see what kind of music they react the best to during feeding trials. Also: Come on, Hasbro -- Insecticon Bob, please!

Transmute is a cinnamon roll that will give you nightmares by accident Heard she got an alt universe design where she wasn't a half baked potato clock and is a happy bot livin life at one point in the comics

[@romanplays1]

in the comics she looked..pretty-close to a alternatively colored version of transformers primes arcee. who had trouble connecting with others but was still a kind and naive person.

[@serPomiz]

that comic version is fully working in body, as a recolor of arcee, but still has the neurodiverget setup. luckilly it's a warmer and more easygoing universe she also got a GenSel of a skeletral tyrannosaurus that transforms by falling apart and getting back together

[@ShadowReaper1227X]

Honestly, Alpha Q would make a great villain for newer continuities. They could even remodel the Quintessons in general to look more like AQ.

[@nopenopington2880]

Also if you thought Flamewar was weird for her design, I'd recommend looking into Thunderblast as she uh... let's just say they put a bit too much love into her model which can be very clearly seen in the episodes: "Starscream" and "Memory" of Transformers: Cybertron.

[@aliastheabnormal]

They are all based of Blackarachnia. Whose design i kid you not was inspired by an asian stripper from the strip joint that the people from Mainframe entertainment frequented.

Couple of includes. Monstructor, the combiner that also went mad, was created by Jhiaxus and Optimus Prime had to try to reason with him/it or something. There was a short story in the original comics set in a dystopian future featuring monster pretenders that all looked weird and one bot turned into a piano(!). Also Emirate Xaaron who never had an alt mode and whose mouth had vertical bits. Oh, and Bludgeon, the samurai, bot mode was missing his lower jaw.

[@MrNormalPerson]

Haha the piano one sounds awesome. Although as a disguise it still makes more sense than cosmos

[@davidmitchell005]

@@MrNormalPerson or Blast-Off, Astrotrain……when you think about it, there are any number of daft Transformers.

[@Brickerbrack]

Xaaron _did_ have an alt-mode (some kind of combat vehicle), but never actually used it. I think there was one comic where he nearly transformed out of desperation, but was also concerned that the strain of transforming after remaining in robot mode for thousands of years could probably kill him.

[@The_Brainsturgeon]

I think the reason both Megatron and Galvatron's performances in Transformers: Prime were more subdued was because Frank Welker's vocal cords can't handle the strain of Megs'/Galv's voice for extended periods of time during the recording sessions. But I find the more smoldering, barely contained rage just under the surface, of the more low-key Megatron more menacing that the cackeling 80's Saturday morning cartoon villain of yore.

[@raylenn4444]

Because it shows that he's calm,collected, and vicious. No need to do great displays of anger and madness, just pure military authority and ruthless cunning make him threaning.

The heck does Froid even turn into? And yeah, BM Rattrap was a clusterf**k from start to finish. The guy looks like living would be painful for him.

[@7thmandalorian584]

Froid's robot mode seems to be HEAVILY inspired by Transmetal Terrorsaur's design. So it seems to be safe to assume he turns into some kind of Cybertronian jet.

[@jlr1357]

Also, he looks like TF Prime Soundwave, so slick cybertronian jet/drone fits just alright

[@bwestacado9643]

I never understood why Rattrap looked like a 19th century paperboy

I would've like to see you give a shout-out to the rock lords from gobots as dishonorable mention. They literally just turn into rocks. I know they aren't technically transformers, but they are in a transformer franchise gray area now.

Yo the Protoform is one of the best episodes of Beast Wars. It sympathized Rampage as a more rounded character, touched on mutations and how quick "others" are ostracized for being different. Don't shy away from it, recommend it

[@marley7868]

especially given he does a monolauge to transmutate as the suffers in the pod cheering them on as he knows that pain he says twisted a form of endearment not an insult as he is a twisted being

I always figured Allspark robots were like that because, well, that is literally their first few moments of life after being a completely inanimate, nonsentient creature. That seems like the perfect background for something just being either completely feral or lacking in any kind of morality.

[@KadenKenz]

I think the most disturbing BW design to me is Emputate. Bayverse dorito Starscream is another weird TF mech... why is he built like that?

[@nick33ee]

well to atlest resemble the g1.

[@KadenKenz]

@@nick33ee Oh didn't know G1 Starscream was a burnt dorito!

[@melrosecarreon8565]

The reason he was built like a Dorito is becauese of his alt mode, the F-22 Raptor. If you look at its shaoe, it's a bit triangular and also F-22s was nicknamed "Dorito" by many pilots

[@dotmbarricade3424]

[@randomautobotprime360]

About the Prime “Galvatron” he is still Megatron as that is what he is called and in one of the aligned continuity books Galvatron was basically a crazy cult leader that was obsessed with dark Energon so it’s a IDW style kinda and Megatron was still Megatron but with a Unicron upgrade

[@aikou2886]

I'd certainly love a video on the weirdest transformers merchandise.

[@aliastheabnormal]

The Japanese Beast Wars Transformers are all redecos of either toys that didn't make it into the American show or stuff from Machine Wars. The only original molds are the Convoys, Galvatron, And Probably Magmatron. With the Predacons from Car Robots being all Transmetal 2 redecos from Beast Wars. Except Gigatron.

[@windsmith4048]

A part of me thinks that transmutate would have been a rattite like an ostrich or cassawary since she had backwards bird knees and a long bendy neck but may have gotten caught between the process of being scaned and instead of the changes being added to a metal outershell it was aplied directly to the internal structures which would explain the different body shape compared to any other bot.

[@matthewgarner7215]

Ironic how Whirl’s torture in order to make him look like a generic drone made him the most unique character in the franchise.

[@minimalbstolerance8113]

Personally, I think that the G1 Super Pretenders (I think: I can't quite recall which ones were the super, mega and ultra pretenders, but I'm talking about the ones that had a transforming robot in a humanoid pretender shell that can ride in a larger, vehicle shaped pretender shell) were pretty crazy. I sort of get what Hasbro were trying to do, but they still just come across as Transformers Russian Matryoshka dolls to me. Also, Flamewar has NOTHING on Thunderblast from TF Cybertron. The animators actually gave T-blast a pair of *AHEM* items of milk-producing anatomy, which can clearly be seen under her breastplate in a couple of low-angle shots.

[@NeglectedNormie]

Mega Pretenders are Crossblades, Thunderwing, and Vroom. (Transformable outer shells that have their own vehicle mode. Both the shell and the inner robot can combine to form an upgraded vehicle.) Ultra Pretenders are Roadblock and Skyhammer. (Basically the shells have alt modes that the inner robot can ride in, and said alt modes can fit inside another, larger vehicle shell). I don’t recall “Super Pretenders” being a thing (I found nothing on them) but I could be wrong.

[@minimalbstolerance8113]

@@NeglectedNormie After looking it up, you're right. Super Pretenders aren't a thing. I was thinking of the Pretender Vehicles.

Bro no. The Fallen design in the life action films was not one of the most letdown designs. The only thing I think they screwed up is his character in the film. He had so much potential but no he gets killed. The comic book of his origin is actually good and really helps with his design, showing how ancient the primes look compare to the normal cybertronians.

At 11:07 with Demolisher I don't know if that's his name or not 'cuz the Studio Series figurine calls him Scavenger, like the OG Constructicon. Idk, it's most likely a continuity mistake like in the 2007 live action where they called the tank Devastator, and then added the REAL Devastator in the RotF and renamed the tank Brawl when making figurines. Edit: And also when you said "Almost identical Scavenger" at 11:23 I think theirs actually two teams of Constructicons because in the desert scenes you can see Rampage, Scrapper, Long Haul, and Mixmaster (Maybe a few more) fighting even though Devastator is already deployed and fighting the Twin Autobots.
