Hot take: Megatron and Shockwave's G1 alt modes are stupid and useless

I never liked the alt modes for Megatron and Shockwave in G1 or any media where they just turn into a small ass gun. These are colossal mechanical aliens who already have a cannon attached to their arm or a gun for a hand, and yet their alt modes have these two turn into small-ass guns that can't move, aren't mobile, and can't even shoot unless being held by other Decepticons.

These alt modes suck to me; they don't even work as a means of stealth, the same way Soundwave's Cassette tape alt mode does. They basically just handicap the two. I'd much rather Megs and Shockwave turn into vehicles like tanks, or flying vehicles instead of some lame a$$ sized gun. I believe media like Skybound only bring back these pointless alt modes for nostalgia pandering.

And to any G1 fan, don't try to tell me why Megs or Shockwave turning into a tiny gun is cool or better than a tank or jet. I don't wanna hear it, and I don't care.
