The only combiner who could be considered successful (as in a perfect melding of the components' minds) in Gen 1 was Predaking, who in all the Gen 1 media except the cartoon was shown to retain the intelligence, cunning, and ferocity of the Predacons, united flawlessly by their love of the hunt and able to work as one single predatory beast.

Honestly Volcanicus is one of my favorite Autobot combiners, only matched with Superion. Making the Dinobots a combiner team was a genius move, the full robot looks so coherent with the gold and silver of the bots, just like the Seacons, except the Seacons were designed to be a combiner from the start, and Volcanicus was an engineering miracle from modern times :D

My favorite combiner is Devastator. Yeah I know classic option but he’s the goat for a reason. He’s made of six bots instead of the typical five. All six of them are of similar size making them all feel of equal importance. The team leader, Scrapper, isn’t a head or a torso, he’s a leg. I respect that about him. I love their unified color scheme because it shows how well the constructicons work together, although I think it’s cool when they have unique palettes too. Also I just love green in general and Devastator is the guy everyone remembers for being loud and obnoxious green. Even the movie version of Devastator is really cool, although for opposite reasons of G1 devastator. He’s made of nine bots, an odd number. They don’t have a unified color, he’s made of green, yellow, red, and gray. They are not all the same size, Scavenger is huge. And all these factors end up making movie Devastator a complete monster of a transformer that walks on all fours. It’s pretty gnarly and I dig it. And lastly, my favorite thing about Devastator. The dude is made up of a bunch of adorable little construction vehicles. Who would think the dump-truck, the cement mixer, a crane, and a few shovel trucks would combine into a huge robot capable of mass destruction. I love him.

Excellent video series. I'd be curious for an explanation as to how the movie Constructicons work. I remember all of the individual Bots being sold separately, even under different names, and then their vehicle forms part of Devastator, but with no robot transformation ..it was all so peculiar.

Defensor is my favorite. I'm partial to Decepticon, as a whole, but I think I can confidently say that Defensor is, objectively, the most underrated combiner.

I've always been a Bruticus fan, which initially started with Ruination in RiD. That toy and the FoC Bruticus are the only combiner toys I've been able to get so far.

Something I would like to know more about is one of the few Transformer units that as far as I know, never got a Combiner form despite being all the way back in G1 (like the Dinobots) - the INSECTICONS. The team from G1 is the one most recognise, but then there's all the different bots as part of the Insecticon subspecies (also like the Dinobots), so there's a lot to cover. The Insecticons were pretty much the Decepticons answer to the Dinobots, so it makes sense that they shared a lot of qualities - though the smaller size of the Insecticons meant a mass-produced version of them was involved in one or more Eras of the show. You may want to include some other things that, while not technically Insecticons, are similar enough to be talked about, like the Scraplets - and don't forget to mention that Starscream was for a very brief time an Insecticon, when the ghost of his Spark possessed the body of Waspinator during the Beast Wars! (Starscream and his transcendental spark could be a video of it's own, too!)

I recently rewatched "The Key to Vector Sigma" and Optimus Prime pointed out when Alpha Trion gave his life to bring the Arielbots to life, "He gave his life so six autobots could be born." So that also suggested that combined form was a unique personality unto itself.

Rather unrelated topic, but the more I learn about Transformers the more I'm convinced that they're a big inspiration for the gems in Steven Universe Even the fusions and combiners share lots of similarities

I do like the idea of the combination having to be mentally uniform to function efficiently/effectively or it could be hindered or come undone and personal I like the approach of one controlling consciousness as oppose to the individual components having to work in consort with each other
