Editing Transform-up

:''Transform-ups are a punishment originally from the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

A '''transform-up''' is a punishment for misbehaving [[Autobot boot camp]] cadets. It involves the [[Transformer]] being forced to lie in a {{w|prone position}} and rapidly [[Transformation|transform]] to and from their [[alternate mode]].  Generally enforced ''en masse'', it is similar in effect to {{w|push-up}}s in [[human]]s. While harmless in some continuities, like Animated, the 2005 IDW Continuity introduced a new form: '''Mode-drilling''', which can lead to serious harm and even death.

[[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]'s annoyance of [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Minor]] resulted in Sentinel forcing their class to undergo a LOT of transform-ups. [[Wasp|Some]] [[Ironhide (Animated)|bots]] weren't happy about this.  {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
Known as "mode-drilling" and considered a particularly harsh method of training, [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] suffered through it as a cadet.  When he became an instructor, he made his own cadets mode-drill and under the toxic influence of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], sometimes forced them to change forms so many times they ''died'' from the experience.  [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] was one of the only survivors of Roadbuster's "training."  {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}}
