New page

==Tri-Rex==
browsing these, i see every mention of the tri-rex toy's components read "... The toy has neither a human mode nor a complete animal mode..." the problem is, each entry has an image of the component, clearly in human mode. perhaps i am misunderstanding, due to lack of familiarity with animorphs fiction, but it seems me "transitional mode" does not really fit, given the supposed lack of a human mode. (also, said "transitional mode" looks no less human than the "human mode" of other toys of the components).

as i am assuming that the "transitional mode" statement is backed by fiction of some kind, what would be the best way to handle this confusion? a blurb in the notes section? rewording the toy entry? something else i am failing to think of? [[User:RAKninja|RAKninja]] 12:42, 28 October 2012 (EDT)
