Editing Super Mode

A '''Super Mode''' is an auxiliary transformation some Cybertronians possess that is used sparingly, perhaps due to a higher energy consumption. This transformation often involves combining with unused portions of their [[alternate mode]] and bringing normally concealed weapons systems online. This form is often a variation on the robot mode, but there are many who possess vehicular or other Super Modes. In some continuities, it is referred to as a '''Battle Mode''', '''Brute Mode''', '''Hyper Mode''' or '''Ultra Mode'''.  A robot-mode super mode is, amazingly enough, often called a '''Super Robot'''.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
One might easily consider [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] one of the earliest examples of a Super Mode, due to his toy combining with his trailer to form a Super Robot. However, due to the recognition factor and possible confusion with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], he was never depicted in his primary robot mode. This made his Super Mode his ''de facto'' normal mode.

This was later superseded by Optimus Prime's upgrade into a [[Powermaster]], by which he acquired a canonical Super Mode. Of course, the series ended immediately thereafter.

===Masterforce (Japan Only)===
[[Ginrai]], much like his American Powermaster counterpart, possessed both a robot mode and a Super Robot mode from combining with his trailer. As well, he could combine this powerful mode with the [[Godbomber]] drone to form a still larger and shinier "God Ginrai" mode. Though Godbomber had no counterpart in the English-language fiction, the rerelease of Powermaster Optimus Prime included the mold improvements featured in Ginrai as well as the Godbomber figure, renamed [[Apex Bomber]], who formed Prime's "Apex Armor."

===Victory (Japan Only)===
[[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] was a double [[Brainmaster]], starting as a small robot known as Yukio, combining into a larger robot named Saber, and finally forming an even larger robot known as Star Saber (natch). This robot could then be enhanced further by combining with [[Victory Leo]] to form [[Victory Saber]].

===Robots in Disguise===
[[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]] could combine to form the Super Robot [[Omega Prime]]. Neither was the dominant personality in this fusion, much to Magnus's disappointment.

===Unicron Trilogy===
====Armada====
[[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] could combine with his trailer to form his Super Mode. He could also combine with [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] to become Jet Optimus. Both of these Super Modes could be further enhanced by mounting [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]] on their shoulders.

[[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] could form a Super Mode by combining with the various components that make up [[Tidal Wave]].

====Energon====
Optimus Prime could combine with the four drone vehicles stored in his trailer, with each forming an arm or a leg [[Scramble City]] style, leading to a wide variety of Super Robot modes. Prime could be further enhanced by combining with [[Wing Saber]] to form either his heavily armed "Fight Mode" or the more maneuverable "Flight Mode." Prime could also combine with [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] to form "Optimus Supreme."

Also, every Autobot possessed the ability to combine with the others in pairs to form "Powerlinx" versions of themselves, thanks to the [[Spark of Combination]].

As well, both [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] and [[Bulkhead (Energon)|Bulkhead]] possessed "Brute Modes," which were formed by combining with previously unused portions of their vehicle forms.

====Cybertron====

In ''Transformers Cybertron'', Optimus Prime transforms into Super Mode. Most of his trailer goes onto his back while two leg pieces connect to the blue part of his legs and his [[mouthplate]] comes over his face. Optimus Prime goes into Super Mode when fighting in battle against anybody vaguely threatening. 

Optimus Prime could also enter a number of Super Mode configurations by combining with other characters, such as "Savage Claw" mode with [[Leobreaker]] and "Sonic Wing" mode with Wing Saber.

Conversely, Megatron could form the "Dark Claw" mode with [[Nemesis Breaker]].

===IDW G1 Comics===
[[Nova Prime]] possessed a Super Robot mode formed by combining with his vehicle mode's trailer. This form also granted him wings and thus the power of flight.

[[Thunderwing]] revealed that not only were his robot and jet modes enhanced by the [[Pretender]] process, but he also possessed an extremely powerful tertiary "Ultra Mode." However this form drew heavily from the reserves of [[Ore-13]] that were powering him, causing the enhanced energon variant to go critical and burn him out from the inside.
