Cityformer

Objects in mirror may be smaller than they appear

Cityformers are Transformers that have alternate modes that are intended to be a city. In actual fictional appearances, however, city-bots very rarely approach actual city size. They are typically closer to the size of a large building. In the comic, some characters are simply depicted as a bit larger than the average Transformer. The six main cityformers are:

• Metroplex
• Trypticon
• Fortress Maximus
• Scorponok
• Grand Maximus
• Metrotitan

Sometimes, there is an entire subspecies/group of Transformers with city alternate modes. They are called Titans or Megamasters.

Component Transformers

Cityformers feature smaller Transformers that transform from components of the city-bot itself. Fictional appearances of these Transformers are somewhat rare, when they do appear some have been shown to have individual personalities and others appear to be mindless drones.

Notes

• For over 30 years, no official all-encompassing term existed for Metroplex, Trypticon, and similar characters; they were only variously referred to as having "city" modes, hence this wiki titling this article with the ad hoc term "city-bot". Then finally in 2016, the Beast Wars: Uprising story "Intersectionality" used the term "cityformer" in-universe, giving us an official term.
