Well when you think about it makes sense and is something that it could happend in real life.

Functionism is basically that, the only diference is that your most dominat phisycal atribute decide both your life long job and your place in society and basically you worth as a citizen and a person diregarding any other natural atributes or abilities you may poses

My headcanon is that Transformation Cogs, specifically the G1/IDW sphere design, had a Gyroscope inside that helped them stay upright when they transform. Also my Headcanon for Bludgeon's name was that it was taken from Metallikato's deadliest technique was to hit your opponent with multiple quick blunt strikes that throws off or dislocates the Transformation Cog and rips them apart when they try and Transform.

fun fact: there is a variety of transformers known as "shifters" that can change form to anything they scan without limit, these include the protagonists of the Bayformers 1 Ds games (known as the Create-a-bots), Makeshift from TF prime, Mutacons from the aligned continuity, Pseudo from robots in disguise 2015, And Amalgus prime himself. essentially they are frequently known to have no limits in both shape and size (at least, they don't seem to extend past twice the initial size they started) and can change into the robot modes of other cybertronians and mimic their voice. Was kinda hoping they would be brought up, but eh, it's fine.

Obviously the episodes afterwards they talked about converting from robot to vehicle mode or vice versa.

A headcannon of mine about transformation: the transformation is composed by two main phases. Phase 1: the T-Cog send instructions to the whole body, of how to move and fit, in order to go vehicle to robot and vice-versa Phase 2: the body itself follow the instructions and transformation happens. The iconic sound we know and love is caused by the T-Cog on Phase 1. The phase 2, actually, features metallic-like sounds, like we heard on Bayverse. Thing is, since Transformers are so used on doing this quickly, sometimes they do that so fast that the sounds end mixing up On the first move: you can hear the iconic sound coming from Blackout (T-Cog loading transformation) and only then the transformation happens. On G1, they transform so quickly the iconic sound covers all the transformation sound. On TFP, you can her the two sounds (the iconic and the metallic) mixing up together.

While the character overviews may be ones requested the most, I love it when the show digs into the nitty gritty for some of the aspects we take for granted, especially this here which is, y’know, the whole gimmick for this franchise. Actually, given how involved TF has become, I’m surprised no one ever attempted to give like some fantasical name or terminology to Transformation itself. Compare that to something like Star Wars giving form names and menucia to Lightsaber combat, or how it wasn’t until later in Doctor Who’s production life that the term “Regneration” became official. So they would eventually use terms like Sparks and Cyber Nucleic Acid, but nothing for transforming?

@I am Petitgguy I still haven't read most of the More Than Meets the Eye comic, but one thing I do like is a principle it introduced called Rossum's Trinity. It states that the brain module, the spark, and the transformation cog are the three most vital organs in a Transformer's body, and that significant damage to one will cause the other two to shut down and kill the owner. However, the T-cog doesn't seem to be as essential to a Transformer as it may seem at first. The Militant Monoform Movement are a group of radical activist Monoformers that symbolically reject the god Adaptus by removing their T-cogs entirely, rejecting alternate modes in the process. Also, Tarn of the Decepticon Justice Division, being addicted to transforming, regularly burns out his own T-cog, requiring him to make a deal with Pharma from the Autobot medical facility Delphi to harvest the T-cogs of patients as replacements in exchange for the safety of the facility. Transformers are just fascinating, man.

"Convert and roll out." Reminds me of 2015 Robots in Disguise where the first season had a running gag of Bumblebee trying to come up with a rallying cry for his team. It might not have had the staying power of "Transform and roll out" but his finalized cry "Rev up and roll out" still has some good punch to it.

Primus was the best origin story, but the idea that TFs could not adapt their alternate forms innately, the Ark was required was still good. The Autobots also had mannikins for their alternate modes built into their transformations. I thought you would have mentioned when some TFs lost their ability to transform, like Grimlock.

The Transformers has had crossover toys with multiple other franchises, from Star Wars to Ghostbusters to Back to the Future. But aside from the recent comic line, there has never been a proper crossover with My Little Pony. ...heck, I don't even think Beast Wars even HAD a horse in their line. So, be it realistic or pastel marshmallow, that is what I choose as my alt mode.

Only Primal managed to hit four different form in the same shell by the end of the series. I think Simon Furman was involved, possibly hovering like some sort of predatory bird.
