The Intergalactic Highway

Awesome. I didn't know about him. Cool!

white tailed deer

A porcupine would be neat, I think. And a squirrel, like a black squirrel! Those are cool. Bears, well, we have Steelclaw in our RPG, and I had once made an OC named Collapse whose beast mode was a grizzly bear. And then there's Polar Claw, so I think bears are quite probable. I was going to add "fainting goats" to the list because having a beast mode like that would not be useful at all. And sheep. And chickens!

Would an Alien from the Aliens franchise be considered a beast mode?

JazZeke certainly thinks so...

Yes! Hee hee, I am totally waiting to see a Predacon Queen Alien with Blackarachnia going into its lair to rescue Silverbolt and saying "Get away from him you b....!"

Oddly.. a few of those unlikely beast modes DID come out as toys.. in US and Japanese lines.. 0_o

I realize that, but I'm referring to the show. What would have been unlikely beast forms for characters IN THE SHOW? I think a lot of the toys would not have made good characters for the show only because their beast forms were not conducive to good characterization or were not functional on the battle field or would be too difficult for the animators. I think a giraffe-bot would be really weird...I mean how would they have fit a creature with that long neck in the Axalon AND what would happen to the robot form? Would there be a long neck in robot mode too? And a fish? How would a fish get around? I can only imagine a fish-bot flopping around on the ground in beat mode. And how would you write lines for a moose-bot or a shrimp? And what would a shrimp be; Maximal or Predacon? And like I said before....generally speaking the Predacons were mostly insects or arachnids or dinosaurs or anything not warm-blooded, but some of those things just wouldn't be good Predacon material: Butterfly, ladybug, caterpillars, worms or inchworms. And I think a snake would be a great beast form for a Pred, but would be at a bit of a disadvantage sometimes especially moving around in beast mode since they have no legs. So, yeah, some of them made really neat toys, but would have been unlikely candidates for characters on the show.

Parakeetimus Maximus anyone? (Parakeet)

Or Duckimus Prime? Or is DeathQuack better? (Duck)
