Mode attachment is a psychological syndrome in the Generation 1 continuity family.

A transformer suffering from mode attachment has become particularly attached to his alternate mode, and will resist upgrading or reformatting to a new one, even when circumstances may merit it.[1]

Examples:

  • Ratchet rebuilt Goldbug back into Bumblebee because ol' Doc always preferred his original form. His, uh, original Earth form, anyway. Skin Deep!
  • Tracks admires his alternate mode so deeply he sometimes resists transforming back to robot mode.
