Let's Pretend

When professional actors do this, they call it improvisational acting, or improv.
When adults who are not professional actors do it, it's called LARP or LARPing (Live-Action Role-Playing).
When children do it, it's called make believe or let's pretend.
When you make believe you're someone like a Ninja Turtle or Power Ranger, you can punch and kick and jump basically the same way they do.
When you make believe you're someone like a wizard or Jedi, you can make hand gestures and pretend that you're casting spells or using some kind of magic force.
Did you ever make believe you were a Transformer?
If so, who?
More importantly, what did you pretend your alternate mode was?
Most importantly, how did you pretend to transform?
(Specific example: If your alternate mode was a jet, did you hold your arms straight out and pretend they were wings, or did you hold you arms tightly to your sides, imitating the way characters like the G1 Aerialbots and G1 cartoon Seekers transformed?)
For anyone who thinks LARPing can be cool, is there any cool way for adults to LARP Transformers?
