Beast mode

Weirdwolf's beast mode

Beast mode is a term that is properly used to describe a Transformer's alternate mode when the alternate mode is of the form of an animal. On the MUX all beast modes are purely mechanical.

Transformers with beast modes are sometimes referred to as "beast-formers", distinguishing them from vehicular "standard-formers."

Notes

• "Beast mode" has since been trademarked by Marshawn Lynch, an American football running back for the Seattle Seahawks, who claims to have "invented" it as his own personal, signature catch phrase. Lynch now uses it as the primary branding of his clothing line, so don't expect the phrase to appear on any Hasbro merchandise any time soon.
