That's a damn good question. It makes me wonder why they have never done it before.

I can't think of a good tech reason why they shouldn't be able to, beyond the general idea that such systems can only support two, and ONLY two, different modes. Such as with memory metals and the like. But that isn't what their tech is based on.

And having their Cybertronian tech only capable of supporting two modes doesn't make any sense either. If that were the case, triple changers would be impossible. Not to mention what PCHammer can do with his Rotofoil form.

(Bob had a good article referenced in his concordance to Drunkard's Walk about "Programmable Matter" that might help in these theories. Bob? )

Maybe it's a psychological thing? They're used to being the size that they are and wouldn't change because of that?

Arrgh... Brain hurts...
