We all know that both mindwipe and skystalker's alt modes can dock together, but hasbro didnt make a combination mode for their robot modes. I messed around with both figures and this is what i came up with

For those that have both figures, share your different combinations.

EDIT: MORE PICS BELOW

So you've turned him into a power core combiner and used the little one as armor? It looks quite good but if you could provide better pics we'd be grateful! Light him from the front and try to get it in focus. Maybe stand slightly further back for this.

I agree, I have Mindwipe and it was till kinda hard to tell exactly what you did.

sorry guys, here are some better pics

basically, i half transformed the upper torso and fit skystalker into the space where the head lays during transformation. extend skystalkers landing gear so it pushes out against mindwipes spring loaded chest plate. Push the upper red piece of skystalkers torso into mindwipes lower back for a stable fit.

Much better. Great job on both the joining and the improved photos!

I have my Skystalker sitting on Mindwipe's shoulders. They're number one! They're number one!

Much better! Thanks!

Sadly these figures won't reach the UK until next winter I fear.

It kinda reminded me of a gundam baddie.

That looks pretty good. How'd you get Skystalker to do that?

Skystalker plugs into two holes on Mindwipe's alt mode. These holes end up on his shoulders in robot mode, so one Skystalker for each hole. Glad you liked it.

Wow. I am...going to have to try this. And clearly I need yet another Skystalker.

HK, Hasbro, you horrible thing.

Shoulder articulation ruined then?

I would say "compromised" before "ruined".
