Hey im very interested in a transformer i remember from i was younger, the only problem is that i have no idea where is from at what the name is, but im pretty sure its a Hasbro Transformer.

Theres two robots, a small and a larger one, both blue... navi blue i think.
The smaller one can transform into a plane, which can combine with the bigger one, to create a large plane.
The big one can also transform into a tank-like thing.
If you know it please tell me what the name is, and what series its from :)
What would cost on ebay, (box is not necessary)

Sounds kinda like Battletrap, the 2 team combiner part. But ones a truck/tank the other a chopper.

Sounds like Generation 2 Dreadwing and Smokejumper, correction SMOKESCREEN- Smokejumper was one of the repaints. I'll update in a minute with a link to some pics.

-edit- Beaten to it by Thanatos Prime. I reckon that's your badboy there. If you are not bothered about the colours the mould has been reused in the RiD line in the US and one of the Beast lines and the Robotmasters line in Japan. There is also a knock off version doing the rounds but he doesn't come with the little guy or his missiles from the pictures I've seen so far.

Don't worry about it. My first thoughts were Battletrap, Flywheels, Overlord or Dreadwind & Darkwing but none of them QUITE fit the description.

Yeah, there are enough repaints you can get exactly what you want out of the toy. I have no idea how much he would cost on ebay though...

Check out BW Magnaboss, I always am impressed with him, also try Rail Racer and the energon combiners. They all have super-nice galleries on this site.

try rid optimus prime and rid ultra magnus. Stay as far away from the energon combiners as humanly possible. Another o.k. one is rid build team. There are just two many combiners to name the best way to descover them all is to goto a place like: http://www.tfu.info/
and try look for combiners.

Another vote for Rail Racer from the RiD line. Solid and articulate combined mode with complementary colours on the three bots that make him, combined weapon from the individual bot's weapons, he's three trains (just aren't enogh trainformers) and just generally screams awesomeness. The only minor downside is that the proportions are a bit off on the individual bots, but for me this just adds to the charm.

Here are the Seibertron galleries:

Maybe, I can't think of any transfan that would want to part with one. He's like the perfect gestalt/combiner.
