Cybertron (the cartoon) included a telephone and traffic light. The light, Signal Lancer was seen transforming to robot mode in the last episode. I still want one.
Signal Lancer and that pole bot should so be combiner teamed up.

It's not a post, it's bamboo. At least that's what the pictures are named. I like the Triple Changer feature, where it can be one bamboo stick or (drum roll) three bamboo sticks!
Hang on, there's a Gerwalk mode. It's a Quadruple Changer!

Things that are awesome-
Frog woman's "eyes". Bottom of feet being used for rabbit's ears. Flower-bot (my Beast Machines Rat Trap just exploded).

I'm trying to decide whether I prefer Henkei Cyclonus or Jizzy-toys Cyclonus.
+1 for Red Dragon Megatron. Awesome alt mode.

(my Beast Machines Rat Trap just exploded). Is that a euphemism?

No, he's been looking forward to a Botanica toy and that's the closest he's seen.
I kinda feel their Cyclonus is a good Animated version of the character.

I think G1 Megatron has the best alt mode ever. He's an extremely well put together replica of a Walther P-38. The scope, silencer and shoulder holster just add to the realism of this toy. His transformation is also pretty out of sight.

He is, but his robot mode really really suffers for it. Also his alt mode isn't the right size to interact with the other toys, though kids could run about shooting their friends.

While Megatron may _look_ perfect in his disguise mode, he isn't perfect because (a) you can't fool people into thinking he's a real gun without it ending in tears, and (b) he doesn't work. By one train of logic it could be argued that the best toy disguise modes are Perceptor and the digital watch TFs, because they really work and you can fool people with them without causing general panic.

It only doesn't work because Hasbro gutted the mechanism remember. The Japanese version fired plastic bullets!

Browning was a better take on the concept than Megatron. Robot mode was much better while being equally realistic and bullet firing.
Music label Soundwave would also join the list of proper alt modes. And Rumble and Frenzy headphones. And didnt Diaclone Blaster have a real working radio?

Kinda, Diaclone Blaster had a 'tape' that was a radio unit, and sat inside the tape deck, I believe

Yes, I suppose they can do everything that a rock can do.

Exactly!
And you might expect parked cars, etc to turn into robots and kill you, but who would ever suspect a rock, eh?

As usual, Ralph is right.
It is futile to resist.

A very interesting choice of toys there. A frog that transforms into a woman with the creatures eyes becoming her breasts and a flower that transforms into a woman only wearing a skirt!
