When a new transformer comes to life, their Spark is created first. Then, their body is forged around the spark so that they can become a whole bot. ((You may suggest how the details should work because honestly I have no idea))
Sometimes their spark does not match with the frame they are built with. For example, a Race car’s spark might end up inside a frame of a Van. Or, a Bomber may get an Aerobat’s frame. If it happenes between grounder-grounder or aerial-aerial, then most cases it’s not really a big problem. They might feel ‘misplaced’ and sometimes have trouble with controlling their body at worst, but in general they adjust to what they are given and live a normal life.
However, if it happenes between grounder-aerial, then one of the folowings will happen as soon as the forging mechanism detects something is going south:
- Newbuild dies.
The mechanism decided to go “frag it” and aborted the project. The frame will cease forging altogether. If the newbuild does not get the help they need in time, then the spark will wither away.
- Newbuild is born with deformed frame
The mechanism decided to go “frag it” and built the frame anyway. The end result is a train wreck. Newbuild survives, but not without varying degree of bodily mutations. Sometimes the mutation only limits transformation ability. Sometimes the mutation is so severe that the Newbuild may not be able to walk at all.
- Triple Changer
The mechanism decided to go “frag it” and built the frame anyway. the end result is a miracle. Most common case is a Car or Tank & Shuttle or Bomber.
Do you think being a Triple Changer is a good thing? Ask Blitzwing, and he will tell you how suck it is. Cybertronian society in general requires you for one specific job that you are built for, so it is better to be really good at one thing than being okay-ish with several things. Blitzwing is a Tank Bomber. Until he figured out how to use his special build as an advantage, he used to be called by numerous harsh nicknames from both sides because he was too heavy & slow for a bomber and was too light & delicate for a tank.
For such reasons, Triple Changers usually prefer one alt mode and will rarely use the other. They tend to choose to be a grounder because cars with wings look less ridiculous than planes with wheels stickig out.
One of the Decepticon scientist the cyclopse one with huge boob tried to artificially create Triple Changers out of already existing bots. He scrapped the idea because he saw no point in creating a bunch of winged tanks or wheeled jets.
Triple Changers weight quite a lot more than other bots with similar size.
Seekers are hard to repair, but not as nearly as hard as a Triple Changer. At least Seekers look all the same, but these ones? How the heck do these wings work?? Where does this kibble go when they transform??? WHY THEY HAVE THESE AND THAT WHERE THEY SHOULD HAVE EXTRA SPACE??????
