Could the TARDIS transform?

[Toph]

Think about it, could the Tardis have the ability to transform into robot mode?

A friend and I were discussing Cosmos and Astrotrain earlier this evening, and I mentioned they must utilize Timelord technology.
This started a discussion about a TF taking the altmode of a TARDIS.

Though, I personally feel it would be much more interesting for "Sexy" to become a transformer. She's already sentient, already alive, and even has a chamelion circuit (Though stuck it may be).
So... according to wonky TF fiction, all she needs is a transformation cog to gain a robot mode.
She's said that she can archive consols and events that haven't happened yet, and even the Doctor didn't fully understand how she could do that. So... if she aquires a TF cog at any point in the future... could she even now be a transformer?

Well, no, because transforming would compromise the integrity of the outer shell.

And having opening doors doesn't?

IF the chameleon circuit detected Transformers (and was working) it might take on a form if not a transformer something like a Micromaster base.

Can I present exhibit A: Keeper of Traken where a Tardis is a moving statue

[Bogatan]

Yes!!!!

So now I need to build a transforming Tardis to go along with CBDW and next years Deaths Head.

I see no reason why it couldn't look like it did, even if it couldn't. A TARDIS is supposed to be able to vary the appearance of its outer shell (infinitely so in the case of some models) so even if it couldn't actually "transform" per-se it could just repeatedly vary its outer shell quicker than those watching it can follow so that it looks like parts of it are moving. (A TARDIS qualifies as "Sufficiently Advanced Technology" after all).

I just can't get the image out of my head, of the Tardis as a TF running up to Optimus screaming "Thief! THIEF!!! Have you seen my thief?!?"
