Recently the very strange idea came to me. I'd like to draw X-men as if they were Transformers... But I'm kind stuck with their alternate modes...

For now I have only few ideas...

Xavier will transform into Vector Sigma-like computer, Cyclonus will be the laser gun, Emma Frost will be tuned up sport car (as it is known that she has done a lot of platic surgery in the past) and she will aim and fire Cyclonus, Angel will be triple changer and he will transform into luxury sedane and small business jet, Gambit will be a motorcylce, Jubelee will be a yellow Bug similar to Bumblebee, Storm will be some meteorologic aircraft, Psylock will be some Japanese sport car, Quicksilver will be something like racing car and... I'm completely lost with the others... Any suggestions on alternate modes for Rogue, Wolverine,Shadowcat, Collosus, Beast, Nightcrawler and Iceman? And what about bad guys?

Wolverine's gotta be a jeep. He had a jeep in the animated series, and a vehicle in the toybiz line:



And check this out, Freestyle did a Wolvie homage too:

I'll see if I can think up some others today.

Lobo also did the wolvering repaint, but extended the idea (with inspiration from Deathwind_13) by repainting Landmine into Colossus. I suppose that might be modded into a combine or something, since he's a farmer...
I think Psylocke should be a British car, by the way, like a Jaguar. How about a midnight blue E-Type?

Maybe Psylocke should be a Japanese car that has a BMW engine under the hood?

Pretty much. And I think the only X-Man was Wolverine, and his mech turned into a jet. There's also the Shape Shifters to take into account, I suppose, at least as inspiration. Memory serves, Wolverine turns into a wolf, Sabretooth is some form of tiger, and Apocalypse is a gatling gun. Punisher and Iron Man also turn into weapons (Pun is a pistol and Shell-Head's an axe).
So what are you thinking here, Babe? Basically Transformers, but with the personalities and abilities of the X-Men? Have you got any kind of a plot idea?

Definitely an interesting idea.
Basically like a super-heroic Earth, but populated with Cybertronian-type robots instead of humans. That could well be worth developing...

For the record, I don't think Cybertron has much of a culture outside warfare, simply because it's so all-encompassing. It's not just a local affair, where life potters on as usual everywhere else, it's totally global. And it's been going on for so long, I'm not sure many TFs can remember what it was like before the war.
Matter of fact, some TFs' tech specs refer to the fact (like Pipes, who's fascinated by our disposable lifestyle, and Eject, with his love for team sports).

Look at the links that the Duke and I posted at the top of the thread. Both of those are of Cyb. Overhaul (or GF Jackshot) painted as Wolverine...
