Robot mode is the form that Transformers have outside of their alternate mode. Although generally a bipedal humanoid in shape, the robot mode is not always so. Prominent examples include the Mini-Cassettes with animal based forms, as the cassette would be considered their alternate mode, while the "beast mode" would be considered their robot mode. Another unique situation concerns the Mutants, Transformers who have lost their robot mode but acquired two beast modes.

After taking an alternate mode, the robot mode will display characteristics of the alternate mode.
