| '''Cityformers''' are [[Transformer]]s that have [[alternate mode]]s that are intended to be a city. In actual fictional appearances, however, city-bots [[Scale|very rarely approach actual city size]]. They are typically closer to the size of a large building. In the comic, some characters are simply depicted as a bit larger than the average Transformer. The six main cityformers are:
| |
| | |
| *[[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]
| |
| *[[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]
| |
| *[[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]
| |
| *[[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]
| |
| *[[Grand Maximus]]
| |
| *[[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]]
| |
| | |
| Sometimes, there is an entire subspecies/group of Transformers with city alternate modes. They are called [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]]s or '''Megamasters'''.

| ==Component Transformers==
| |
| Cityformers feature smaller Transformers that transform from components of the city-bot itself. Fictional appearances of these Transformers are somewhat rare, when they do appear some have been shown to have individual personalities and others appear to be mindless drones.

| ==Notes==
| |
| *For 30 years, no official all-encompassing term existed for Metroplex, Trypticon, and similar characters; they were only variously referred to as having "city" modes, hence this wiki titling this article with the ad hoc term "city-bot". Then finally in [[2016]], an [[Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News Reporter]] Facebook story post as well as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' text story "[[Intersectionality]]" used the similar term "cityformer" in-universe, giving us a canonical name.
