As a kid I never had Prowl, so when I got Streetwise, I just pretended he was prowl.

Also First Aid was Ratchet and Dirge was Thundercracker...

Oh and I never had Hot Rod as a kid so my Rodimus was Hot Rod... just always in robot mode :redface

anyone else do this?

Are you kidding, I still do it.

For real. My Micromaster Tote used to be Ironhide. First Aid was Ratchet. Anything yellow was Sunstreaker.

Same here. And as I wanted Starscream as my first 'big' TF (compared to the minibots I had) and got Blitzwing, Blitzwing was Starscream in robot mode. Then Windcharger was Cliffjumper. :tftongue

I never had any kind of Iron Hide or anything that looked remotely like one so the "Iron Hide Decoy" became my iron Hide.... or maybe it was the ratchet decoy :schin

rofl, i did a LOT of substitutions. some of my transformers where even invisible >_>

I did all the time...

I even used Gobots sometimes!!!

 

 

 

 

I wonder if X-Bob did? :schin

Not me! Of course, I don't really remember ever watching the cartoon, so I was much more likely to have TFs taking on entirely unrelated roles than even their official ones.

I used Gobots almost exclusively :redface

 

I used gobots as cannon fodder, so they were "substitutions" I spose. They always got to "beam down to planet garden/back yard" with me and the knock off pull-back and go bots. They were the "ensign ricky's" of their shortlived, ripped apart by my dog and covered with mud day.
