>>10638296Beast mode. His transformation is pretty fun - instead of the standard 'robot mode goes on all fours' transformation scheme usually used for quadrupeds (like his TR version pictured next to him), Weirdwolf is a bit more involved than that - he pretty much turns completely inside-out. His wolf front legs fold out of his torso, his right arm becomes his wolf head (obviously), his left arm becomes the wolf's throat, his lower torso dislocates at a 90 degree angle and conceals his robot head (hence the lack of waist rotation), and his gunblade becomes his tail; his back legs spin around at the knee to finish the transformation. I've been looking for a good Wolf Transformer for ages, and while I now have a few (Beast Wars Wolfang, Beast Machines Quickstrike, and - of course - Titans Returns Weirdwolf), none of them really had satisfying wolf modes, but this guy actually looks like a wolf (while the newer TR one looks fairly awkward, especially around the back legs, and has a head that doesn't look even remotely canine - more like a rhino - and paws that look more like they belong on a bear than a wolf) and he can actually move and pose his legs and tail (sorry, Wolfang - you're cool looking, but you're a brick in beast mode). So the winner for the best Beast Mode here is Timelines Weirdwolf by a decent margin, even if his robot mode is beat out by his TR version; he also wins for having the most unique transformation scheme of the lot.
Either way, I love both my Weirdwolfs (Weirdwolves?), and while I don't really keep my bots in a permanent display (I tend to transform all of them once or twice every few weeks), I think I'll be keeping TR Weirdwolf in Robot mode and Timelines in Beast Mode more often than not. As flawed as the robot mode is, I might still consider grabbing the Fang Wolf/'Snarl' version later - he just looks that cool.
