Howdy fellow Seibertronians and welcome to another round of the Seibertron.com Transformers Photo Challenge. Every challenge has a theme and suggested guidelines to follow. To participate, just post your pictures in the discussion below. The TFPC is just about having fun and is for all skill levels. Previous challenges can be found here.

It's time to put down your instructions and get creative, the theme for this challenge is fan modes. Fan modes are basically transformations created by fans (fanformations?) that can range anywhere from simple modifications of the official transformation to full blown new modes that were never intended. While other fan modes can be crazy mashups that defy faction alliance logic. Below are a few examples to stimulate the grey matter.

Generations Nightbeat has several fan modes in both bot and alt mode.

Reveal the Shield Strafe and Hunt for the Decepticons Sunspot can be combined to give Strafe a powered up almost samurai appearance.

For some reason I can sorta picture this mode being part of the town in BraveStarr. It has a sci-fi western feel about it. Well, I think so anyways. I like it more than the official base mode.

I like Black Hat's DotM Shockwave base mode too. Looks very villainy HQ.

If you try uploading your image to a site like imgur, you can take that picture address and encase it in this: [img]your%20picture%20address[/img]. Have you tried that yet?

I'm not the greatest at this sort of thing but let's see what we can scoop out...

Well, since the OP brought it up; here's my preferred configuration for Generations Nightbeat.

Image

Always keep the door panels aligned with the arms imo. Can limit what poses he can do... and sometimes breaks the arms; but he can do the hands on his hips and have a hand to his mouth for musing, so it's good enough for me.


Since everyone and their mother uses the same mold in CW, it becomes pretty important to differentiate em, right? So sometimes I like having Offroad with his 'wings' up.

Image

Still don't know how exactly I feel about it.


But hey, here's something I do like to do sometimes when playing around with my toys - 'G1' modes. The intended effect here is to make the figure look like a G1 toy - implying a much more simple transformation, more individual parts scooshed into blockiness and limited articulation. Make them replicate that goofiness and silliness of how limited toy engineering was in the 80s. It's kinda fun to see what you can come up with; but I find it works best with the Alpha Bravo mold.

Image

Legs can't come apart, his rotor assembly just hanging awkwardly behind him, his tailfin not having moved an inch and the only articulation being a shoulder swivel. I love it.


Aaaand to finish off let's just do something really creepy.

Image

He coming to steal yo girl
