Existing characters who have the potential to be Terrans headcanon:

The Protectobots - adopted/mentored by existing doctor character(s) ex. June Darby.

The Stunticons - RiD2015 version likely since Earthspark already has Breakdown.

The Aerialbots - mentored by pilots/soldiers ex. Agent Fowler, Agent Burns & Marissa Fraireborn.

Sunstorm - Born in a radioactive place on Earth that causes he himself to be radioactive.

Nightbird - taken in by a scientist who never sees Transformers as sentient beings, thus she lacks emotion because she gets zero empathy from her caretaker.

Dear Vector Prime, Have you ever been to the DW Universe? If yes, may I ask if you’ve know about or encounter with Stunticons and Aerialbots when they’re young? I’m just wondering where they came from and what they were doing before the war. Because they’ve been existed for a long time compared to G1 cartoon and G1 Marvel Universe. Thank you for your answer!

Dear Curtailed Combiner,

After the Crisis Intervention Accords were ratified by all major factions on Cybertron, all Special Teams were forbidden to combine, lest the planet be destroyed in the ensuing carnage. This caused a rift among the Aerialbots; Air Raid, Fireflight, and Slingshot felt they had a right to combine. Silverbolt expressly disagreed with this, and so the other three called him a coward who was afraid of his own power, even his own ability to fly! They abandoned Silverbolt, and Skydive sadly joined them at Silverbolt's urging to serve as a voice of reason.

The Stunticons instead sought to sell Menasor at a premium—violating the Crisis Intervention Accords was a challenge for them, not a deterrent. Claiming they were on Starscream's Predacon faction, they combined into Menasor and overwhelmed Grimlock's Lightning Strike Coalition. As things became dire for Grimlock's team, their savior arrived—Superion!

Their battle was brief, but cataclysmic, and although they emerged victorious, the other Aerialbots realized Silverbolt’s hesitation was not cowardice, but wisdom.

After Menasor was defeated, Motormaster and Dead End escaped—formally joining Starscream’s team for protection against the other factions—while the other three Stunticons were captured and imprisoned. Silverbolt knew that he had performed an illegal combination, but for the right reasons, and despite the thanks from the Autobots and the L.S.C., the Aerialbots exiled themselves from Cybertron as per the Accords.

Much later, when Optimus Prime prepared to flee Cybertron with a group of Autobots, he granted a reprieve to the Aerialbots, who joined him and eventually ended up on Earth.

I have to give my thanks to CryptidsCustoms for allowing me to use his picture for digibash purposes.

Transformers, G1, Silverbolt belong to Hasbro and Takara Original photo belongs to CryptidsCustoms This digibash i guess belongs to me P.S: Combiner parts are not included

[drill-teeth-art]

just asking because i’m curious, but are the autobot combiners in your au?

They are! At least, I know for sure the Aerialbots and Protectobots are. Here’s Superion and Defensor!

Superion is the hotheaded, Aerialbot gestalt who’s often a little too trigger happy and eager to charge into battle, though he does mean well. And then almost his opposite, Defensor, the stoic Protectobot gestalt who refuses to raise her weapons against other beings, stating her size and strength may only be requested for the aid and safety of all Cybertronians, and nothing more. They’re both somewhat naive, and I plan for them to grow and change in the story some.

wada sez: Unlike the Aerialbots and Stunticons, who were given origin stories in both the Sunbow cartoon and Marvel comic, the Protectobots and Combaticons just kind of showed up. This strip provides a cartoon origin for the team.

Combiners

I only named a few combiners since there isn't exactly a list of combiners. Also because at least 5 people need to create a combiner and I don't want to name 32+ characters. Way to many people to talk about.

Let's do this

Disclaimer: this is a fan continuity and doesn't fully align with canon (mild spoilers for my fan cont.)

✧-✧-✧-✧

"Main" Combiners:

Devastator - Scrapper, Hook, Bonecrusher, Long Haul, Mixmaster, and Scavenger (and Prowl)

Bruticus - Onslaught, Brawl, Blast Off, Swindle, and Vortex

Menasor - Motormaster, Dead End, Wildrider, Drag Strip, and Breakdown

Defensor - Hotspot, First Aid, Streetwise, Blades, and Groove

Superion - Silverbolt, Slingshot, Air Raid, Firefight, and Skydive

Victorion - Pyra Magna, Jumpstream, Dust Up, Stormclash, Skyburst, and Rust Dust

(Other Combiners can be found on tfwiki)

✧-✧-✧-✧

How do gestalts and gestalts bonds work?

Gestalt are the word used to refer to the group that creates a combiner. Gestalt bonds are the bond connecting the gestalt. A gestalt bond is a spark bond similar to trines and host-cassette bonds in my fan continuity.

Emotions and thoughts can be sent and received through the gestalt bond. One can temporary block their side of the gestalt bond and with help, completely cut themselves off from the bond. This doesn't hurt anyone! It will feel sore but nothing more. Gestalt bonds are consensual and a bond will not form if someone really doesn't want to.

✧-✧-✧-✧

How to combiners work?

Physically, Combiners need at the very least 5 parts. Two arms, two legs, and a torso/head. Devastator is a special case, having a torso and a head separate.

Mentally, kind of similar to Pacific Rim. The gestalt have to be in sync in order for the combiner to stay combined and work. In the mind of the combiner, there is a space that "holograms" are located. Those holograms are the mechs that make up the combiner. They are more of a representation than anything else. There is a visual of sorts of the gestalts mind. The visual can change depend on who is the leader or who is in the gestalt. For example, Prowl's mind calculates a lot. So when he is leader, there is a lot more numerical calculations vs if Scrapper was leader.

✧-✧-✧-✧

How are combiners created?

This is a complicated question. Some mechs, like the Constructicons, Combaticons, Stunticons, Protectobot, etc. are born as combiners. In other cases, a mech's frame must be reformatted if they want to be part of a combiner.

Very few know how to reformat a frame to become part of a combiner. Hook is know to be the number one medic to go to for a frame reformat. He is known for turning lots of people away.

✧-✧-✧-✧

What about the Enigma of Combination?

Doesn't exist, even if it did, the combiners would highly upset over a tool that can force mechs to combine. Combiners and gestalts are consensual, they have to be. Otherwise the combiners can't actually work due to the fact that the gestalt has to be in sync with each other.

✧-✧-✧-✧

Prowl is part of Devastator??

This might worry some but not to worry, hopefully. The way Prowl becomes part of the Devastator gestalts is more fan continuity and less canon. Prowl genuinely wants to be part of Devastator and it can be tiring. Thankfully Scrapper is there to take over when needed.

Since Scrapper is alive, the "Prowl becomes part of Devastator" arc doesn't work. However Prowl does get brainwashed, and like canon, none of his friends notice. The Constructicons see this and they decide to try and be "friends" with brainwashed Prowl.

After the brainwashing, the Constructicons go to Prowl slightly hopeful that Prowl remembers them. Prowl ends up pushing them away and the Constructicons respect his decision. Slowly his memories from being brainwashed comes back and with some prompting from his therapist, Prowl decides to talk with the Constructicons. The Constructicons and Prowl start to hang out more.

One day, Scrapper requests to talk to Prowl alone. Scrapper tell Prowl that he is getting old and tired. Scrapper expresses how much he wants a break. Prowl asks if there is anyway that he can help. Scrapper says there is. One surgery and gestalt bond later, Prowl becomes part of Devastator.

✧-✧-✧-✧

That is all so far. Questions are always welcomed!

Dear Vector Prime,

Can two Combiners swap team members to change their equipment or gain new properties?

Dear Fastidious Fusilateral,

When multiple bots merge, each constituent lends their own special onboard technology and mental faculties to the result—so any rearrangement will produce a different personality and abilities in the combiner.

For example, if the Protectobot Hot Spot and the Aerialbot Silverbolt swap their respective teams, then Defensor would gain the ability of short-range flight, while Superion would gain a weak forcefield. This has in fact happened on one occasion, when Silverbolt—suffering a particularly bad bout of acrophobia—asked Hot Spot to take his place. The other Protectobots did not recognise this new combiner at first, and referred to him as "Hyperion". After they merged with Silverbolt to form "Suppressor", both combiners proved an awkward match against the unbridled ferocity of Menasor and Bruticus, which illustrates the main problem with scrambling combiners: any strategic advantage to be had by a non-standard configuration is simply negligible, compared to the single-mindedness made possible by an experienced team who are accustomed to one another’s company.

In my personal files, I have a copy of the so-called "Theseus Archive", which purports to catalog every single possible combination, each with its own name. Now, let us see, we have… Abomenaticus… Betatron… Comperian… Gaia Poseidon… Scramble 13, Securitas… hmm. You know, looking through the full list now, I realize most of them have certainly never been formed—well, except for in the author’s mind, that is. Look at this one, "Swindlor"—Swindle is listed for every single limb! That can’t be right. Or here: left leg, Blast Off, right leg, Groove! Why, he would be so unbalanced, a single step would send him toppling to the floor. And if there truly was a combiner containing both Blot and Skalor at the same time, well, I should think the author would’ve passed out before writing it down!
