A animal-lion or wild cat that transforms into a alternator car would be a

super/fantastic idea.  Instead of a robot mode it transforms into a

animal mode.

 

 

Similar to the 4 Beastmachine Mutants & BM Savage-Noble/Beast changer.

 

 

FIRST OFF: This will look like a metal lion & not a organic lion. the

lion mode might look like a Transmetal 1 TF toy or maybe a Trans-tech

lion. Somwhere along the lines of TFCR Gigatron & BW2ND Galvatron.

 

 

EXAMPLE: A Cadillac car that transforms into a lion or panther or tiger

or other wild cat. The Cadillac car would transforms into a lion as

follows:  (1)lift up the cadillac hood & on top is a car engine. the

underneath of the car engine would be a lions head. half would be the

engine,the other half would be the lion head. (2)the hood could either

transform into the lion mane or just split in half towards the

sides.(3) the 2 cadillac car fenders would transform into the 2 front

lion feet/legs. the front car wheels could form the lions claws. either

that or the front bumper could split in half to form the 2 lions

claws.(4) the back/middle half of the cadillac car could rotate all

around on a 180 degree.to reveal metal lion back deatils.(5) the back

sides of the cadillac car or seats could form the lions back

feet/legs.(6) the back tires or back bumper could form the lions

claws.(7) the 2 car tail pipes or muffler could combine & form a huge

lion tail.

 

 

I know everyone's gonna say this idea sucks & makes no sense. You know

you'd buy the Lion Alternator/BT car by the dozen if Hasbro+Takara made

such a toy.

 

 

 

From a design stand point it seems like a cool,unique & different idea

 

 

compared to the 15+ generic Alernator/BT car we've got thus far.

 

 

From a story point of view the Animal/lion car alernator could goes as

 

 

follows: racing the streets & chasing enemies. when the guy needs to

climb mountains or hunt through rough forest/rocky/ water terrains it

transforms into lion animal mode. the lion car alternator could be a

autobot or decepticon.

 

I guess you could have flying eagle/bird alertnator cars too. I'd

prefer a wild cat or bear of sorts.

 

 

The 2nd variation/re-tool could have a different animal head than the

lion. like another wild cat head. the claws can be different. the

wheels can be different. there couuld be a car wing that transforms

into a wild cat animal part. there could be different tail

pipes/mufflers too. give the toy a different color,different liscense

plate. lastly different faction allegiance symbol.

 

 

I'd like to see the following transformers names used on this lion or

wild cat/animal car alternator/BT toy:

Razorclaw,Leobreaker,Tigertron,Ravage,Steeljaw,Victoryleo,etc...

 

I'd like the first version to be a white or black lion that transforms into a Cadillac car. the second version could be another wild cat like a tiger,panther,lynx,etc..  If the first version is white then color the 2nd version black or vice versa. If the 2nd version is a panther perhaps dark charcoal grey colors.

 

Will you buy this toy is Hasbro+Takara Make & Release it in world wide

stores & chains??

Erm... no. Transformers are mainly humanoid, and what car company would give them the rights to make their car into a cat? They want robots, damnit!

An Alt Steeljaw? can't really see myself getting excited over that.

MMMMm, why not? As crazy as it sounds.........Alternator Catilla.

 

 

We already have Ravage so why not that or perhaps.......

 

A triple changer Altenator

:rofl

 

:wtf

 

:guh

I like this idea. The idea that Transformers are not anthropomorphocentric is the reason why G1 is so popular. Look at the old G1 rooster - that has animal instead of "humanoid" forms (some don't even have an "biologically based" form - Raindance and Grand Slam are perfect examples):

 

Ravage

Laserbeak

Buzzsaw

Steeljaw

Ramhorn

Trypticon

Sky Lynx

Ratbat

Beastbox

Squawktalk

 

 

 

To be honest, having animal forms instead of humanoid forms would be a breathe of fresh air to the Alternators/Binaltech line, a line that is supposed to be a tribute/mimic to G1.

 

I would definitely fork out money for an Alternator Steeljaw.

It's odd that you don't think of the G1 bots as anthropomorphic, considering that the comic designers were specifically instructed to make the robots look more human. Animal-looking robots are only one step removed from that. I'd think of a non-humanoid robot as being something like a tank with various appendages and what not. It'd make more sense than a big tall thing with a high center of gravity that has to keep its balance all the time, as it walks around on two legs.
