Hybridizor

From MediaWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Hybridizors are a unique subgroup of beast mode Transformers—while most Cybertronians who fall under this category transform from humanoid robots into animals, Hybridizors instead transform into vehicles and incorporate animal features into their robot mode physiology. Some, like Steeljaw or Thunderhoof, are mostly humanoid, limiting their animal features to extraneous details like claws, snouts, ears, or tails; others, like Springload or Crazybolt, are almost entirely animalistic.

Thanks to their unique adaptations, Hybridizors tend to be unconventional, up-close fighters who rely on strength and cunning to survive—many seemingly eschew conventional Cybertronian firearms altogether in favor of their own claws, teeth, or horns. Some Hybridizors may even manifest additional powers, usually tied to their animal basis: these include sonic screams, acidic skin, poisonous spikes, or even fire breath.

The Cybertronian prison ship Alchemor held a number of animalistic Decepticons in stasis pods. When the ship crashed on Earth, many of them ran amok in nearby Crown City, Pilot (Part 1) while others dispersed across the planet—at least one made it as far as the North Pole, finding the icy clime more to his liking.

Fixit pointed out that many of the Alchemor's inmates resembled Earth animals, and shared many of their strengths and weaknesses. The Buzz on Windblade

Simacore was a notable Decepticon Hybridizor who incorporated Orangucon traits into his physical construction, claiming that they enhanced his strength and agility. While discussing the history of beast-form Transformers with his fellow intellectuals, Leatherhide claimed that Sky Lynx was the most famous Hybridizor, and noted that Deathsaurus and his minions displayed some notable Hybridizor characteristics.
