Combiners

I only named a few combiners since there isn't exactly a list of combiners. Also because at least 5 people need to create a combiner and I don't want to name 32+ characters. Way to many people to talk about.

Let's do this

Disclaimer: this is a fan continuity and doesn't fully align with canon (mild spoilers for my fan cont.)

✧-✧-✧-✧

"Main" Combiners:

Devastator - Scrapper, Hook, Bonecrusher, Long Haul, Mixmaster, and Scavenger (and Prowl)

Bruticus - Onslaught, Brawl, Blast Off, Swindle, and Vortex

Menasor - Motormaster, Dead End, Wildrider, Drag Strip, and Breakdown

Defensor - Hotspot, First Aid, Streetwise, Blades, and Groove

Superion - Silverbolt, Slingshot, Air Raid, Firefight, and Skydive

Victorion - Pyra Magna, Jumpstream, Dust Up, Stormclash, Skyburst, and Rust Dust

(Other Combiners can be found on tfwiki)

✧-✧-✧-✧

How do gestalts and gestalts bonds work?

Gestalt are the word used to refer to the group that creates a combiner. Gestalt bonds are the bond connecting the gestalt. A gestalt bond is a spark bond similar to trines and host-cassette bonds in my fan continuity.

Emotions and thoughts can be sent and received through the gestalt bond. One can temporary block their side of the gestalt bond and with help, completely cut themselves off from the bond. This doesn't hurt anyone! It will feel sore but nothing more. Gestalt bonds are consensual and a bond will not form if someone really doesn't want to.

✧-✧-✧-✧

How to combiners work?

Physically, Combiners need at the very least 5 parts. Two arms, two legs, and a torso/head. Devastator is a special case, having a torso and a head separate.

Mentally, kind of similar to Pacific Rim. The gestalt have to be in sync in order for the combiner to stay combined and work. In the mind of the combiner, there is a space that "holograms" are located. Those holograms are the mechs that make up the combiner. They are more of a representation than anything else. There is a visual of sorts of the gestalts mind. The visual can change depend on who is the leader or who is in the gestalt. For example, Prowl's mind calculates a lot. So when he is leader, there is a lot more numerical calculations vs if Scrapper was leader.

✧-✧-✧-✧

How are combiners created?

This is a complicated question. Some mechs, like the Constructicons, Combaticons, Stunticons, Protectobot, etc. are born as combiners. In other cases, a mech's frame must be reformatted if they want to be part of a combiner.

Very few know how to reformat a frame to become part of a combiner. Hook is know to be the number one medic to go to for a frame reformat. He is known for turning lots of people away.

✧-✧-✧-✧

What about the Enigma of Combination?

Doesn't exist, even if it did, the combiners would highly upset over a tool that can force mechs to combine. Combiners and gestalts are consensual, they have to be. Otherwise the combiners can't actually work due to the fact that the gestalt has to be in sync with each other.

✧-✧-✧-✧

Prowl is part of Devastator??

This might worry some but not to worry, hopefully. The way Prowl becomes part of the Devastator gestalts is more fan continuity and less canon. Prowl genuinely wants to be part of Devastator and it can be tiring. Thankfully Scrapper is there to take over when needed.

Since Scrapper is alive, the "Prowl becomes part of Devastator" arc doesn't work. However Prowl does get brainwashed, and like canon, none of his friends notice. The Constructicons see this and they decide to try and be "friends" with brainwashed Prowl.

After the brainwashing, the Constructicons go to Prowl slightly hopeful that Prowl remembers them. Prowl ends up pushing them away and the Constructicons respect his decision. Slowly his memories from being brainwashed comes back and with some prompting from his therapist, Prowl decides to talk with the Constructicons. The Constructicons and Prowl start to hang out more.

One day, Scrapper requests to talk to Prowl alone. Scrapper tell Prowl that he is getting old and tired. Scrapper expresses how much he wants a break. Prowl asks if there is anyway that he can help. Scrapper says there is. One surgery and gestalt bond later, Prowl becomes part of Devastator.

✧-✧-✧-✧

That is all so far. Questions are always welcomed!

I’ve got a Protectobot/’Protegonauts’ ask sitting in my inbox and my goblin was like DO IT YOU HAVEN’T DESIGNED THEM YET DO ITDOITDOIT and oops my Apple Pencil slipped. Yet another little family in the middle of a larger Autobot family! Hassan’s Team Dad and is similar to Bobby from 911. Blades is the local Rat Bastard who wants out of this rom-com, but a fiercely loyal Rat Bastard who will drop so many bodies for his mates ✨👌🏼

So in Cyberaligned, Blades was originally apart of the Protectobots. Which means that G1 Blades has been mixed with Rescue Bots Blades. And what do we get for him pre Sigma 17?

✨This bastard!✨

He is very much feral

Yes she is capable of tossing him around like a sack of flour

Blades and Streetwise doodle

A brothers love is like no other, especially after you come out. (This joke comes from sanaeabubber on instagram)

Existing characters who have the potential to be Terrans headcanon:

The Protectobots - adopted/mentored by existing doctor character(s) ex. June Darby.

The Stunticons - RiD2015 version likely since Earthspark already has Breakdown.

The Aerialbots - mentored by pilots/soldiers ex. Agent Fowler, Agent Burns & Marissa Fraireborn.

Sunstorm - Born in a radioactive place on Earth that causes he himself to be radioactive.

Nightbird - taken in by a scientist who never sees Transformers as sentient beings, thus she lacks emotion because she gets zero empathy from her caretaker.
