Mode attachment
From MediaWiki
- 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.
- During the events of TFTM and Season 3, Grimlock and the Dinobots seem to be suffering from this.
