>>5949073>That said, I've always wondered about Beast modes. Most of them are going from 4-legged animal to humanoid, it seems like a lot of the logistics are in place already, and the transformation would mostly focus on tidying up and little alterations, which is one of the big reasons I'm not a fan of Beast modes. I love the impressive transformation of going from a truck or a plane to a bipedal humanoid.Well, beast modes of non mammalian quadrapeds don't suffer from that, of course. That said, part of the reason so many beast-formers seem same-y is probably due to them being few and far between in lines after Beast wars. When you have a lot of alt-modes with the same structure, that encourages designers to experiment more so toys don't feel so same-y. As Beast wars went on, you got a lot of interesting experimentations on how to transform a quadraped; while turning one set of limbs into robot legs was a mainstay, there was usually something interesting going on with tthe upper body.
Pic related is a good example of a later design that has a pretty interesting Transformation, where the upper body basically inverts.
