Combineing with Leaders
Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2009 3:43 amR.I.D., Armada, Energon, Cybertron, and ROTF Optimus Prime are all combiners... sort of... ROTF just kinda wore a corpse but we'll count him anyway.
On the other side...
R.I.D. Ultra Magnus combined to form Omega Prime.
Armada Jetfire combined to form an extra change of pants because his trailer was posable enough and Overload sat on his shoulders as two giant cannons.
Energon Wingsaber formed his limbs in two different combinations. Omega Supreme protected his body and well it was just Omega Supreme with a tiny Optimus Prime head. And while I don't think it was ever offically used in the cartoon Omega Supreme does have ports in which you can hook on Optimus Prime's drones but you could allso attach Wingsaber to them.
Cybertron Leobreaker formed his freaking arm while this version of Wingsaber formed the first decent looking combiner sence Omega Prime. I'm not sure if it's possible to make both of them combine with Optimus at the same time as I don't own any of them. (But I really want all 3 of them.)
And Finally we have the newest combiner where Jetfire actully makes Optimus Prime more powerfull insted of just giveing flying pants. However this time Jetfire has to die which means unless they want to carrey around a corpse with them everywhere they go or they can repair Jetfire's body and put his spark back we will probly never see this on screen ever again.
Other than all this have you noticed and/or wondered about why there's an even amount of land and air combiners but not an even amount of characters?
Overload could of easily been Ultra Magnus in fact that mold has been repainted as Ultra Magnus but it was in a different toy line and never used on the show. Actully Overload wasn't even used on the show... well he was but not as a character, he was a lifeless weapon that never spoke, acted on it's own, or was ever seen in robot mode. Basically worse than ROTF Jetfire, at least he was a character. Or depending on how you look at it I guess it's better to combine with something that was never alive than to combine with a corpse.
So for land Autobots, I would say Vehicles by Leo Breaker was a lion.
Ultra Magnus, Overload, Omega Supreme, and Leo Breaker.
For Flyers we only have Jetfire and Wingsaber.
Why reuse the flyers names but make a new land combiner every time?
And even better, what if we could design something for all 6 of them to combine with Optimus at the same time! That would be one crazy combiner and Leo Breaker would be such an outcast as the only member with an organic alt mode.
So how about getting Megatron some more help. All he has is Tidal Wave and Nemesis Breaker to combine with and both of them suck. Tidal Wave does nothing but completly destroy Megatron's articulation and Nemesis Breaker, well he's a Leo Breaker repaint, he's a freaking arm.
