Fan mode

Supertoilet.

A fan mode is an unofficial mode of transformation which adds to the playability of a figure. Fan modes vary from slight changes to drastic reconfigurations of the original transformation scheme. Shortround has one of the more infamous fan modes—the toy can be turned into a fair approximation of a toilet.

Another common fan mode is some form of robot mode combination between the Mindwipe mold and the Skystalker mold.

Fan mode possibilities depend on the articulation, transformation, and design of a toy. For instance, due to the autotransformation gimmick, flipchangers have small amounts of potential fan modes, while Movie toys have a huge amount.
