TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on COMBINERS

[@JumpPackGentleman]

Decepticons are obsessed with combining. If you leave 2 ‘cons is a room alone together, they’ll be standing on each other’s shoulders in seconds! I guarantee it.

THE TRANSFORMERS COMBINER WARS TOYS ARE REALLY THE BEST STUFF I EVER IMAGINED

[@marypatry7750]

VICTORION SHE'S WAS THE BEST FEMALE AUTOBOT GIRLS BUT LIOKAISER HE IS WAY MORE POWERFUL AS UNICRON WAS

[@nomelitoarquillano7454]

i hope so if megatron's little sister mega empress did not turn into megetronia as a lewd combiner

[@GoGojiraGo]

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.

[@leroypowell3]

And that's why he's the best.

[@mangoman785]

Liokaiser from victory is much like g1 predaking. He is described as cruel, merciless, and cunning.

[@themightyalpaca313]

Well, that and I assume it was because they functioned as a pack, yielding to their ‘alpha’, who was stronger than the rest

[@literallylemon2665]

Devestator is better than predaking

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

@@literallylemon2665 True

[@st0ryt3ll3r8]

Favorite combiner: Volcanicus. Not necessarily for ability or anything like that. The Dinobots are my favorite team of characters and I'm so happy to see they got an official gestalt form after so long. The giant sword is obviously a plus.

[@rigelc.hoffman2496]

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

[@Bokobling]

I liked his potrayal in Cyberverse where all the dinobots are like still active

[@Rassenomatjutut]

Technically, Volcanicus is Transformers' counterpart to Power Rangers' Dino Megazord.

[@ifranco0202]

My personal fav is victorion. The first female combiner and one that was voted on by fans! I love that! Plus the sword is so cool!

[@gunhawk40]

Dinobots finally combined?!?!..... when?!?! Where?!?!?

[@rjc7289]

When I was a kid, I loved the combiners! My favorite Decepticon combiner team was the Stunticons, and my favorite Autobot combiner team was the Aerialbots.

[@applejuicejunkie316]

The Key to Vector Sigma episode

[@bumblebeeznutz9506]

I agree. I'm a big, or rather, out of shape, kinda chubby fan of the Stunticons. They're Autobot counterparts are probably my second fave. I enjoy their individuality too! Especially Dead-End, Wildrider, and Breakdown! Not a fan of Dragstrip or Motor master as MUCH. I just really like the 80's car alternate modes, and personalities. Slingshot, Skydive, and Air-Raid have great appearances in THEIR alt. modes as well. I don't know why I had to go on a tangent.. could'a just gave a thumbs up, I guess..

[@JustinWahlne]

Computron would have to be my favorite. He was the first combiner I ever owned so he has a special place in my heart. And I just love the sci-fi/fantasy aesthetic of the Technobots' alt modes. However, that being said, I've got much affinity for most of the Decepticon combiners as well. I mean, I'm Autobot all the way, but it's hard to not like badasses like Devastator, Bruticus, and Predaking.

[@pp3k3jamail]

[@dmonsef]

Computron was probably my favorite. The only thing I didn't like about him was his Maroon color scheme. I just think they could have gone with a better color scheme. The other Autobot Combiners Superion and Defensor had more positive color schemes.

The Devastation image of devastator was what my eyes first saw

[@j-sant-animations8105]

Devastator forever!

[@commanderjamaa588]

J-Tron not the revenge of the fallen one though, or at least for me

[@HappyBirthdayRoboto]

I agree dude, but that said the Revenge of the Fallen Devastator did two things better than the toy/cartoon/comic one; each Constructicon had his own size and colour which made each look unique and when they combined they looked like a large animal rather than a large humanoid. But I just couldn't look past the wrecking balls! :(

[@steveevans938]

Actually I think the real first combiner , was voltron I could be wrong but he's been around sense been around. Like the 70's. But for sure the Go bots had a combiner before dia clone did & that show ended like a year before transformers G1 started. Go bots even had the first triple changer.

Please do The Basics on Ironhide He’s my favourite Transformer

[@j-sant-animations8105]

All you need to know is that he was Orion Pax's mentor or something. He is older than the war itself and at this point it is believed that he has had enough replacement parts to build a small army. In his G1 self, he would tell old war stories to the younger autobots. In summary he is a cranky, broken down, outdated autobot that's been in almost every situation possible, a feared soldier to the decepticons. He is my favorite as well.

[@mattn4182]

The only G1 transformers figure I ever owned was First Aid. I didn't know much about transformers at the time, but as I grew older I discovered he was part of a team called the Protectobots.

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

To be frank, I don't remember watching the entirety of G1 so I can't say I have a nostalgia fuelled favorite, but I really like Abominus.

[@Nougatbars]

My favorite combiner? The Predacon(not those ones.) combiner Predaking! They unite fully being one of the few combiners to act normally, as the Predacons are unified by their love of the hunt. Also he has a lion on his chest and bird wings. Hard to get cooler than that.

[@Awesomeness10]

I'd have to say Menasor (G1) is my favorite combiner. I mean, the first episode they appeared in showed them chopping trees in half while driving, flying off cliffs, and in that one episode where Wildrider crashes into a wall and knocks off Bluestreak, he drives off fine, but with the combined mode of the Stunticons, if their armor in vehicle mode can withstand that much in vehicle mode, he's one tough combiner!

The Terrorcons are my favorite gestalt team, 1st and only team I completed during my childhood in the Gen 1 days. So, needless to say, I am very excited we are getting them in Power of the Primes this year.

You missed "the beast"

Hey Vsauce Michael here That is the stuff of non-canonical fanwankery, that is truly better off left forgotten.

[@Penningtontj]

Even if it was canon I'd still recommend forgetting about it.

[@Nothin2seehere-e4z]

That's because it should never be mention.

[@drxshock6957]

_no._

[@Donirwin7471]

My favorite combiners are Devastator, Menasor, and Bruticus those are my favorite Decepticon combiners.

My favourite combiner has to be Liokaiser I just love the look of it, and its colour scheme is awesome.

My favorite combiner is Devastator for many different reasons but the most significant is his portrayal with Prowl in the IDW comics. I was blown away by the art and the characterization. Having said that here are my ideas for future 'the basics' episodes. - Jazz - Prowl - Ironhide - Knockout - Ratchet - Wheeljack - Rodimus/Hot Rod - the Wreckers - Optimus - Primus - Unicron - The symbiont/carrier relationship - Sideswipe and Sunstreaker - Jetfire/Skyfire - Megatron - The Decepticon Justice Division - Starscream - Seekers (all fliers) - The human characters - Minicons - Mass displacement - Transformers Live Action Movies (Bayverse, I bet it would be fun to make!) - The G1 marvel comics - The Japanese side of the fandom - The fannon - Thundercracker - Scourge -Galvatron - Astrotrain - Sixshot - Triple changers - Cybertron - Alt. modes/ Transformation Cogs (T-cogs) - Female transformers (Arcee, Elita-One, Chromia, Nautica, Windblade etc.) - Animated - The unicron trilogy - The aligned continuity - Autobots - Decepticons - [...] Primus! I'm sorry about the length of this list! But it's just I love this series so much, Transformers is a huge part of my life and... I just love watching you, Chris, do it justice. I'm looking forward to the next episode!
