Talk:Transformation

"Maintaining a transformed state requires a constant output of energy. The 'base' state for a Transformer seems to vary- sometimes robot, sometimes vehicle or skirmish mode. Most Beast Warrriors have their beast mode as their base state."

Where does this come from? Interrobang 15:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Maintaining a transformed state using up energy comes from "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court." I don't know where this stuff about Beast Warriors having their beast mode as a "base state" comes from. Or the term "base state" for that matter. If that's not from canon, I'd suggest "root mode," from "The Autobot Run." --KilMichaelMcC 15:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

BM mostly, I knwo there's a similar bit in G1 somewhere... probably not able to switch to vehicle mode due to low power. (It's not jazz's paralyzed half-transformed stated in Desertion of the Dinobots.) -Derik 15:51, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Just to pin down the G1 reference, in "Decepticon Raider," Warpath is forced to revert to robot mode, stating that he's getting so low on energy he can't even stay transformed. --KilMichaelMcC 15:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
