Triple Changer
Encyclopedia
Triple Changers are Transformers
that can transform from robot into two different alternative modes.
No particular origin was given to the Triple Changers in most storylines. According to the Dreamwave Productions
comic
, The Triple Changers were the result of experiments by Shockwave
to produce a robot with more than one alternate mode. Failed attempts resulted in the Duocons
. The first successful Triple Changer was Springer
, followed by Blitzwing
. Later, they were joined by Astrotrain
, Broadside
, Sandstorm
and Octane. Triple Changers can change between their multiple alternate modes twice as fast as most Transformers.
The original commercial for Scorponok described him as a Triple Changer, despite it not being mentioned on the box. Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye series additionally described the Headmaster
Horrorcons Apeface and Snapdragon as Triple Changers. In 2005, an E-hobby
repaint of Blitzwing named Overcharge was released, making him another Triple Changer by default.
The Generation 1 Triple Changers' alternate modes consist of the following:
Although there are many examples of other Transformers with 2 alternate modes, the group mentioned above are the only ones that possess the official designation. Some other G1 Transformers with three modes include:
Technically, all Transformers that are parts of a gestalt could also be called triple changers, as they have a robot mode, a vehicle mode and a body part mode, however, most fans only consider forms that a robot can form all by itself for being a Triple Changer.
The Decepticon Sixshot
and the Autobot Quickswitch have a robot mode and 5 alternate modes. So technically, they are not Triple Changers because they have more than 3 modes.
Dreadwing
actually had him say "No one can escape Triple Changing Dreadwing!" In a second shorter commercial the announcer actually says "Dreadwing is a Triple Changer."
, the term Triple Changer was replaced with Three Mode Conversion. Oddly though, the commercial for Rampage and Depth Charge mentioned that they had "Triple changing action."
When IDW Publishing printed it's Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook it specifically mentioned the Maximals B'Boom and Bigmos as Triple Changers, but most of the other Transformers with a third mode were given names like "Mode 3" and "third form".
series, Laserbeak
is described as a Triple Changer on the packaging. The Transformers: Armada More Than Meets The Eye profile series from Dreamwave Comics also lists Overrun
as a Triple Changer, but states that he, like many Mini-Cons are "Triple Changers" with a weapon mode. This would imply that any Mini-Con with a weapon mode is a Triple Changer.
, Scorponok
is described is a Triple Changer on his packaging. When Hasbro
/Takara first envisioned the concept for Energon, the Autobots were to be combiners with a "Powerlinx" feature, while Decepticons were to be Triple Changers, but this was abandoned for most of the Decepticons having a "hyper-power" mode, which usually just revealed more weapons.
toys are described as Triple Changers on their packaging:
Some Mini-Cons have a third mode, but are not labeled as Triple Changers.
toy line, Armada Overrun was repainted and released as the Mini-Con partner to Ultra Magnus
.
toy line so far has two Triple Changers.
Note: Shockwave (who turns into a tank) can disguise himself as an Autobot whose alternate mode is a crane. He technically has four modes, and he is now listed as a Triple Changer on his box.
Although the Deluxe Rampage toy has a "Jackhammer Mode" the packaging does not list him as a Triple Changer.
