What's the Weirdest Transformer?

Our discussion about Alt Jaguar Ravage got me thinking about offbeat TF's, and I started to wonder what others regard as the weirdest Transformers.
My vote goes to Heinlad. He's a racoon (okay, a tanooki or whatever) with takeout cartons, and well... cajones.
What say you all?

Heinlad at least has a normal robot mode and stuff.
The BW Mutants are pretty high up there, and so is Beast Changer for being the same thing.
The Deployers and the Beast Riders, too.
Although the upcoming Demolishor toy is a pretty screwy design.

Yeah, it looks like the ROTF line is offering up a few good candidates for this award. Wheelie among them.

"Number 5 wants to renegotiate contract!"

RID Bruticus. Transforms from three-headed dog to four-armed, three-faced robot. It is awesome.

Yes. I have the toy, and I have drawn him, and he is very awesome. You forgot his unofficial "centaur" mode, though, which makes him more awesome than he already is.
I'd have to say BM Scavenger is the weirdest TF, if only because - even more than Movie Wheelie - he looks like Number 5's psychopathic inbred cousin from hell.

I have to pick my avatar, Megabolt Megatron. A giant grinning head on insect legs. Strangest alt mode ever.

Under-3. He folds in half to turn into a disembodied lion head.
I also give a nod to the
Bat-Robos, if only for that ridiculously rad robot design and offbeat gimmick. I want one these things badly.

I've often (twice) wondered about their name. If it's Batorobo, wouldn't a more accurate transliteration be BattleRobo (Battrobo / Battlobo / whatever)? Just a thought.
Because they're totally not bats. '___'
