* In ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', several of the Autobots were modified so that they could retract their wheels and replace them with hydrofoils for long-distance water travel. In addition, Brawn could turn the front end of his car into a [[DrillTank large drill bit]] for tunneling. These options were never included on the [[MerchandiseDriven original toys]], although Tracks' ability to become a flying Corvette ''was'' part of his toy. (The mail-order, toy-only Omnibots Downshift and Overdrive could also become flying cars.)
** While most of the Triple Changers had vehicle modes that were completely different from each other, Springer was unique in that his helicopter mode was basically the same as his car mode, just with the rear end folded out to the rear to form a tail, and the front bumpers shifted and extended to form wings. Springer was also the only one of the original Triple Changers who retained his Cybertronian vehicle modes.

* The ''SpyHunter'' games are probably one of the best examples of this. In addition to being able to transform into a CoolBoat, if the armor takes too much damage, it will be shed to reveal a motorcycle (or a jetski) underneath).

Less drastic modifications can be expected as well for different terrain on land, like retractable tire studs for driving on ice and other slick surfaces. Any weapon systems the car is equipped with will sometimes inexplicably change in order to fit the new environment; rather than missiles, the car will have torpedos.
