| A '''transformation scheme''' is the process by which the parts of an individual [[Transformer]] move and shift in relation to each other to convert it from [[robot mode|one mode]] to [[alternate mode|another]]. Though some Transformers share identical or similar transformation schemes, most are unique to the individual. The amount of detail this gets in fiction varies widely, from “cheatsy” animation utilizing motion blur to the highly-detailed computer animation in the [[live-action film series|live action movies]]. In the toys this concept can change the way a toy looks in either mode drastically (see: [[shellformer]], [[kibble]]).

| ===''Rescue Bots'' Cartoon===
| |
| [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] does a kip-up whenever he goes from alternate mode to robot mode.
