Any character in alt mode, as well as characters who are in bot mode but whose alt mode isn’t a Tank, doesn’t flip. Then each Tank, whether it flipped or not, can get an Armor from your scrap pile.
If I have more Armors in my scrap pile than I have Tanks, what happens?
[Source: WotC] 
You choose which Armor goes on which Tank. The same is true if you have more Tanks than you do scrapped Armors.
If I play Hunker Down and flip
Darkmount to tank mode can I then choose to activate to Darkmount's ability to discard a card from my hand before equipping an armor?
[Source: WotC]
No, you must finish resolving Hunker Down before any triggered abilities from character flips are resolved.
Given Hunker Down, which says "Flip each of your characters from bot mode to tank mode. Then for each of your tanks that isn't upgraded with an Armor, put an Armor on it from your scrap pile", bypasses the requirement to play
Tech Research for
Superior Plating, does the same apply to
Jetfire, whose wording is "When you flip to this mode - Put an Armor or Utility from your scrap pile onto this character"?
[Source: WotC]
Yes.
If you are able to, you must replace the weapon with an armor.
Question about
Unconventional Flying Object. Can this be played on a Spaceship that is already in bot mode in order to flip it to alt mode, essentially ignoring the first sentence as "already done" (somewhat similar to Hunker Down)?
[Source: WotC]
No, it cannot.
Yes. Hunker Down doesn’t ask you to play the card, so the requirement from
Tech Research does not apply.
Leap of Faith gives you the ability to play a card, but that card’s requirements must still be met.
Regarding character triggers, the following scenario is
Demolisher/Darkmount/Common
Megatron all in bot mode. I play
Brainstorm > Hunker Down >
Rapid Conversion. Hunker Down flips all 3 to alt mode, then I play armors from the scrap pile if able. Once Hunker Down is complete, I play Rapid Conversion targeting Megatron to flip him into bot mode. Brainstorm is now resolved. Moving on to character triggers, would Demolisher’s ability now draw 1 or 2 cards? Would I be allowed to use Megatron’s flip ability?
[Source: WotC]
In this scenario,
Demolisher’s ability would draw 1 card and you would be able to use
Megatron’s flip ability.
Let's say I've got an Armor on one of my characters as well as
Defensive Configuration, giving me an extra empty Armor slot. I then play Hunker Down which checks to see if I have an Armor or not. Since Configuration will be giving me an empty Armor slot, would I be able to put an Armor on my character through Hunker, or will it not work since I do still have an Armor in the 1st Armor slot?
[Source: WotC]
It will not work since your Tank already has an Armor attached.
I have a question: I have 3 tanks in bot mode and I play Hunker Down. I flip all of them to tank mode. Can I resolve their flip abilities first before the "Then" statement in Hunker Down where I search discard pile for armors?
[Source: WotC]
You must finish Hunker Down before using any flip abilities, which includes getting armor.
No. Car is a trait and not a mode. Despite this card using 'Car mode', you should consider it as a short hand for 'a mode with the Car trait'. The same is true for Hunker Down's use of Tank mode, and
Pop a Wheelie's use of Motorcycle mode.
Does a card that refers to Bot Mode apply to a Titan Master (Head + Body mode)?
[Source: Aequitas]
No. A character in Body mode is not also in Bot mode.
This means that cards like
Escape Route do not flip a Body mode character to Alt mode. For an example of a card that works with both Body mode and Bot mode characters, look at how
Mission Briefing explicitly says 'in bot mode or body mode'.
Note that cards like
Start Your Engines and Hunker Down do not flip the characters from Body mode to Alt mode, however if the characters have Car and Tank traits respectively, they still get the secondary effects of those cards.
If you put an Armor on him with Hunker Down, and it doesn’t scrap before you have resolved his flip-to-Alt ability, you will get to do the effect because the “if Armor” clause isn’t until after the arrow.
No. You have to be in his Alt mode at the start of your turn to have the option to use this ability.
If he is in Bot mode, you will flip him to Alt mode then complete the card
This does not actually grant a {G} battle icon to Hunker Down, but it allows you to swap a card from your hand as though it did.
