	Generally speaking, robot mode provides greater freedom of movement and better combat capabilities (though this can also be said of alternate modes which are designed for combat). Often, the alternate mode will be given or taken to better facilitate the robot mode, such as repair (which is what [[~~Teletraan I (G1)\|~~Teletraan I]] did with the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s aboard the [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]) or for protecting the robot mode (which was done to protect the [[spark]]s of the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacons]] during the [[Beast Wars (event)\|Beast Wars]]).
