Humanoid Beast-modes?

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

Humanoid Beast-modes?

Post by Predabot » Wed Nov 28, 2007 1:43 pm

There's really no reason why this wouldn't work, is there? :o

If we are to assume that in some continuities atleast, the Beast Modes are based on some of the advancements in Pretender-shells, and since it's possible to scan and construct beast-modes based on as highly evolved animals as primates and whales, then surely, there aren't any technological limitations?

And would it not be a fairly clever manor for Maximals and Predacons to infiltrate humanoid societies by simply creating an extra alternate mode that allows them to disguise themselves as the locals, aye?

I wouldn't mind seeing something like this implemented in the IDW comics actually.

What do you guys think? Yay or nay? :)

He means more like a human alt-mode instead of a shell. Could've worked for later seasons of Beast Wars, but I can't see it working in a G1-based comic or show.

I just realized how bloody creepy and disturbing this would look.. :o Even if the beast mode parts where to shift into a grey inert look once in robot-mode..

And sadly.. this would indeed be almost exactly like them crazy Masterforce-pretenders.

So... nay.

Bah. :x

Hold on a minute.

This all sounds remarkably similar to them Pretenders in Masterforce.
