[[Transformer]]s sometimes use '''whips''' as melee weapons or as 'motivational tools'. Should a problem come along, then said Transformer will be well-equipped to deal with it by whipping the target well.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
*[[Cloudburst]] was packaged with a [[lightning whip]], usable only by his [[Pretender]] shell and not by his inner robot.

===Victory===
*The [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]] favored by the [[Breastforce]] could be used as whips.

===Beast Wars===
*[[Cheetor (BW)|Transmetal Cheetor]] is armed with a whip. In 2008, Cheetor was given a new toy in the universe line that was also armed with a whip.
*[[Rattrap|Transmetal Rattrap]] is armed with a whip as well.
*[[Packrat|Transmetal Packrat]], being a [[Repurposing|repurposed]] version of a [[Redeco|redecoed]] Tramsmetal Rattrap toy is also armed with a whip.
*[[Ravage (G1)|Beast Wars Metals Ravage]]'s Beast Wars toy, being a retool of Transmetal Cheetor, is armed with a whip too.
*Botcon exclusive [[Tigatron|Transmetal Tigatron]] is a redeco of Beast Wars Metals Ravage, so he is armed with a whip as well.
*[[Optimus Minor]]'s beast mode tail becomes a whip similar in design to Rattrap's.
*[[Stinkbomb]]'s beast mode tail becomes a head mounted whip-pincer.
*[[Dinobot II|Transmetal 2 Dinobot]]'s beast mode tail, although never used in the show converts into a massive whip for his robot mode.

===Beast Wars II===
*[[Lio Convoy]]'s Universe 2008 toy is a retool and redeco of Cybertron Leobreaker. His Beast Wars II figure was never armed with a whip but this new mold gave him a handy melee weapon. Much needed since he lost all of his guns.
