    This will serve as the basis of my project soon. I will be making more Combaticons while waiting for UW Bruticus. Here are my ideas:

    Quake (from CW Brawl)
    Astrea (from CW Offroad if I can find a spare)
    Turbo Reactor (from CW Scattershot)
    Rollbar (from CW Swindle)
    Barricade (WFC-inspired; from CW Dead End)
    Turrets 1 & 2 x2; from CW Shockwave)

    Combined Mode: Kaonium You'll see why. ;)  ​

    Dammit. I should've made an Astraea figure when I had the chance.

    Anyways. Like the idea but I'm not sure on two things:

    1) The dropship. If it's a full on character then I'l retract this but I feel it's odd to just make the torso just a transport shuttle with no character. The same goes for the Turret but to a lesser extent.

    2) The combiner name. "Combotron" seems... uninspired, no offence. I would offer some suggestions but I honestly don't know what the end goal of the combiner is. Is it a parody of Bruticus or something of it's own design.

    As I said I like this idea but there are just some things that don't believe work. I look forward to seeing more ideas.

    Criticism

    Ah, trial and error through criticism. Thanks for the opinion. :) 

    1) The dropship would be an AI system and the turrets will have personalities, like GLaDOS.

    2) It's not a Bruticus parody, but a backup squad made for brutal action. It's a new combiner with more of a multicolor design.

    No problem. I know how it feels trying to make a combiner team out of nothing aside from an idea. It ain't easy.
