Each challenge will have a theme and a description of any guidelines that need to be followed. If you want to participate, then all you have to do is setup some figures that fit the theme, snap a picture and post the image in the discussion below. The Transformers Photo Challenge is for all skill levels and is just about having fun. Previous challenges can be found here.
Robots that team up to form larger more powerful robots is a fan favorite gimmick and last year was all about combining robots. We had scramble style bots, a six bot team of devastation and various smaller bots that acted as weapons and accessories. We still have at least one retail release coming this year with several boxed sets to follow.
The theme for Transformers Photo Challenge #10 is Combiners. Use any combining figures from G1 to Combiner Wars. All you need is at least 2 bots that combine, officially or unofficially. Scramble and pose 'em up, then hit the jump below and show us what you got!

The Alpha Bravo mold really works for the legs. They're just bulky enough to look strong, but lean enough to make the feet seem well-proportioned.

Color Wars, Blue vs Red
Edit: Here's something I threw together specifically for the challenge just now.
Tigerhawk combiner!
Another edit(sorry!) Felt it deserved better than a phone camera pic.

@ Va'al - What's Prime gonna do with all those Primes?
@ Cyberpath - took a few viewings before I noticed the "mass shifting" going on. Awesome.
@ Mr Scram - I dig Coptimus, and Tigerhawk is SWEET!
@ Carydaman - Great first day on the new challenge.

Cobs, I take your White Knight, and raise you this! (please excuse the horrible picture quality, all I have to work with is a darn phone camera)

Centurion on the left, as we all know from the Generations Minicon Assault Team, with his brothers in arms Decurion in the middle and Praetorion on the right.

A really impractical superweapon of some kind.
My fiancee scoffed that he wasn't pointing the weapon at anything so I had to try. Wasn't that hard, surprisingly. My Tailgate doesn't have particularly tight joints either, and his hips pop out frequently.
One to show it's all him with no extra support.
And just one more cool angle for the road!
I think this is the dumbest thing I've combined.

First, to tie it over to the evolution theme of last time:
My, they have grown in 30 years.
Here is the smallest combining component with the largest.
Ok, now we get to the fun stuff, lets mix and match!
I am mostly going by colour palette. Mixing around Grey and White and Red and White.
Here's the brawler!

When I get CW G2 Bruticus in my hands, he'll consist of a team of 10 bots:
Normal Bruticus, just with swapped limbs and Shockwave as backpack.
Right arm: Vortex
Left arm: Brawl
Legs: Swindle and Blast Off
6
Also DotM Laserbeak added as wingpack like on Dotm Shockwave above.
7
DotM Icepick as his handheld weapon on the right or pegged into Vortex' peghole on the forearm.
8
And last but not least a combo of DotM Dragstrip and Prime Arms Micron Zori M to get the peg of Dragstrips shield mode more centered and pegged into Brawl's peghole on the underside of his forearm.
10
What do you think about that? I'll post a picture of it as soon as I have G2 Bruticus.

@Antz - welcome to boards I'm loving the angles
@PC82 - cool recreation
@CP - as usual - I also missed the mass shift the first time also, "Overkill" hehe
@Mr Skram - "Coptimus" also, how many of those green minicon sets do you have?!? - combined weapons never crossed my mind, awesome
@Cobs - thanks
@Va'al - let's see that new AB accessory you got
@DS - don't sweat the quality, this is about creativity
@AlastorXZ - another hardy welcome! I'm feeling the under lighting
@lonrac - Who's that guy?
@Roberta - what a crazy awesome mix
@Lunatic Prime - another crazy awesome mix, scramble em up - I'd love to see that proposed combiner when you make it

As the Repaint Wars rage on, NOP is an unfortunate victim of the Enigma of Combination run amok. Half Autobot half Deception all force of destruction. NOP fights a continuous internal battle of conflicting ideals and desires. Much like his name implies, the rage building inside has nowhere to go until there is a systematic breakdown both physically and mentally of all bots involved.
'Bots and 'Cons alike are forced to just stay clear of the awesome destructive force that is No Outlet Prime. They can only wait for the inevitable failure of the doomed combiner.
And so ends the tragic tale of No Outlet Prime.

That's how I feel as I finish grading papers. So right now. Because I haven't finished yet.

I have 3 sets... for now. I have a whacky dream of getting more to display in individual bot and vehicle forms as well as coming up with more combined bot forms and possibly combined vehicle forms. Kinda recreate the Ammonite attack on Lost Light, ya know?
The weapon just kinda happened as I was sifting through some of my loose accessories lol.

Soundwave Superion!
Predacons are obsessed with combining. Put two of 'em in a room and within seconds one will be standing on the other's shoulders. Fact.
No snappy paraphrased quote this time, sorry!

Also, I JUST picked Hotspot up tonight, and took this picture not 10 minutes ago! I'm extremely happy, now if you'll excuse me, I have robots to play with.

I know it's an old combo, but someone had to do it.

It's Power Core Combiners Crankcase, and RotF Legends Sideways serving as the arm.

That was the point of that line! They tried bringing some established combiner teams to the small PCC version, without ever choosing to go full name-calling. So you had not-Menasor in Crankcase, not-Bruticus in Bombshock, at least.
With some 'appropriate' coloured drone limbs.

PROWLTECTOBOT!
Hotspot might still be the torso, but Prowl's got a good head on those shoulders!
(Also, sorry Blades, this is a wheels-only kinda show.)

I've been told that unfortunately you can't combine the torsos with the FoC combiner limbs. That would have been so cool.

Why should Devestator be any different?

You make me want that lil green dude so bad. He keeps going in and out of my amazon cart.
