Are there any Transformers alternate modes that have only appeared only on one side of the Autobot/Decepticon divide?
You don't need to worry too much about specifics (e.g. Pontiac Solstice), just general modes (e.g. helicopter, gun, dinosaur).

There's not been a Decepticon ladder carrying fre engine has there ? Or a Decepticon ambulance?
I was going to say there's been no Autobot Insects but there are the BWII Insecticons which are Cybertron aligned.

Smoulder does'nt have a ladder does he, Phil?  There's been no Autobot bulls, whereas the cons have had Horribull and Tantrum. No Autobot scorpions either... ===KEN |

Great thread! Never considered the idea before.
EDIT: Are there any Autobot Stealth Bombers?

Have there been any Autobot guns? Quickswitch had a gun mode i think, but that wasn't an actual gun gun, more a flying gun thing.

EDIT: Are there any Autobot Stealth Bombers? Presuming you mean B-2's then I don't think so. I think that the Micromaster Tread Bolt _may_ be meant to be one of the early design concepts though. Broadening it out to any bomber built around low-observable features - Cyberjet Air-raid is an F-117 Nighthawk. Greatshot has a gun mode so that isn't unique to the Decepticons. I was going to suggest commercial Airliner was unique to the Autobots, but then I remembered that Octane probably is one. Hmmm. This is harder than it seems. Karl |

TFA Laserbeak / Ratbat as instruments. Longview, the autobot binoculars.  and whoever else from Real Gear that did'nt have decepticon/autobot repaints of themselves. ===KEN |

I'd have said Bin Lorry/Garbage Truck for Animated Wreck Gar, if we aren't including Macerator; as he's only been in one awful novel.

It might be an interesting exercise to see which year the most commonly used modes first appeared on which side.....

Actually, does Doublecross the Monsterbot count as a dragon?

Grasshopper? (Kickback)
Brontosaurus? (Sludge) (I'm sure the Dinoforce member was one of the ones that actually existed)
Flying car? (Tracks)
Penguin, Girraffe, Racoon - but then they are one of a kind anyway.
Toaster!
How about transforming into a Decepticon disguise ala Punch? No Decepticons can disguise themselves as Decepticons and vice versa.
Actually Doubledealer was a vulture - that's not been done as an Autobot. Although it's technically an Autobot (Decepticon in disguise) robot that turns into it so it may count... I think I've confused myself there...
Has the question ever been asked if there is a toy/mold that has not been repainted?

I don't know of a Cheesewave, I'm afraid.
From what's been said, I would definitely like to see a Decepticon ambulance and a Decepticon ice cream van. A Decepticon giraffe? Not so much.

I only know G1, so apologies if I miss the equivalent of a superstar from one of the subsequent series, but I can't think of a Decepticon microscope or an Autobot camera.

In the first case, I have sadly played with Scalpel however in the second Spyshot is rather good. |
