I was looking at helicopter models earlier today when I came across this little bird. I almost put it down as an alt idea for a future fancharacter, until I happened to notice something a little... unfortunate.

When a transformer with a 'copter alt transforms into bipedal mode, where does the cockpit end up? On their chest, right?

Well then, where would the point on the "nose" of the AH-6 end up?

Yeeeah. I like my fanchars a bit too much to do things like that to them, but it did get me thinking. Certainly a transformer doesn't always know how a new alt will look when applied to their body, or where every last piece of kibble is going to end up. I'd love to see a story in which somebody picks an alt that comes with a few "unfortunate" features. I can see something like the AH-6 spawning a ton of bad crotch jokes (no pun intended).

OMG that's the most adorable tiny helicopter I've ever seen O_o And that pointy nose bit totally makes me think of TFA Metagron(toy version)'s cute little 'tail' :P

As for cockpits, it's sometimes feet (for G1 anyway), so it might not be too unfortunate. Funnier if it was crotch though :P

And now I want an OC with that alt mode, purely to throw it at Vortex.

you mean like Armada Starscream? His nosecone hangs between his legs. And trust me when I say you don't want to look between Bay's Starscream's legs. Let's just say he looks female.
