So as some people may now I've been working on making my own female combiners to give Victorion some gal pals. I'm almost done with the Detectibots and afterwards I will move on to make the Plundercons. Since I want to try and balance things out among my combiner ranks I am making this thread to allow people to submit ideas for what a second team of an all-female Decepticon combiner could be. It will follow my usual formation of one Voyager, six Deluxes, and one Legends figure. At the very minimum I hope and expect to see are group themes to use. There are rules to this process but they are few. Rule No. 1: No Female parodies of established groups In simple terms I will not accept ideas which are summarized as taking groups like the Aerialbots, Combaticons, or others and only swapping their gender. I can see how such an idea can be considered interesting but it is not what I'm looking for. This is not to say that I can't make a female military style team if suggested but the group cannot just be a female imitation of Bruticus with a jeep, tank, helicopter, and jet/shuttle for limbs. Rule No. 2: No mixing official characters with fan characters This is really a rule for myself but to be clear I will not create characters to fill the gaps of a team's ranks. Here's what I mean: If you want Strika to be part of this new combiner then the team is locked to official characters. They can be from any universe but they have to be official. If you want a combiner made from scratch then it becomes locked to characters I make from my imagination. No official characters will be included. Rule No. 3: No boxset purchases We have all heard the similarities to Dustup and Nightbird in regards to their head designs. If anyone proposes a combiner with Nightbird being involved then I must request that you find someone who is willing to sell Dustup's figure alone without the other Torchbearers. I'm not going to buy a second Victorion just for a single mold.
I'll give it a go... fan characters, with a unifying theme that they are all... very... very... fast at whatever they do. Group Name: Accelacons Combined form: Evisceron Leader: Hyperia Alt Mode: FTL Spacecraft Mold: Scattershot or Cyclonus Coloration: Royal blue and white with black accents Backstory: Hyperia has risen through the Decepticon ranks with a reputation for being both fast and ruthless. Originally a leader of an exploratory scouting force, contact with a hostile alien race gave her a chance to prove her mettle - and metal - on the battlefield, and proved it she did, being the only Decepticon to have a 0% fatality rating in their own team. That team became so enamored with their high speed leader that, years later, when the Enigma of Combination presented itself, they drew back together from their various placements and assignments to rejoin her in forming Evisceron Leader: Burn Up Alt Mode: Race Car Mold: Dragstrip/Mirage Coloration: White, red accents Backstory: Burn Up's career as a Decepticon probably would've been a lot more impressive if she hadn't been assigned to Earth and discovered, among other things, illegal racing circuits. Among those who know her, it's common knowledge that she only ever updates her alt mode when she discovers a vehicle faster than her... then she scans that vehicle, takes it's form, and destroys the original so no one else can have it. Is this what you were looking for? If you like these, I can write up more later.
This is close to what I was thinking of. You didn't have to make the characters yourself but if you felt like doing it then I wont complain. You did make the characters sound interesting which deserves praise. Though if I must say something in contrast the sound of a team who's theme is just being really fast doesn't appeal to me as is. I'm looking for a central theme that can have multiple roles for a team. For an example using my own characters the Plundercons all have roles when they perform a heist. Infiltration, Recon, Escape, Decoys, and so on. The Detectibots are all cops but each serves a role. Interrogation, Autopsy, and Investigators. Some may parallel but each character has a specific role. If you can do something similar with your example then by all means continue. Even if I may not use the concept it still does sound interesting.
how's this one? i was inspired by the many-faced god in game of thrones, along with a few things from black sails...... group name: PERSONACONS main objectives: info theft, infiltration and assassinations combined mode:rumored to be "DOMINATRON" members: still trying to identify, but the alt modes remain as a cannon jet, two trucks, and two tanks team biography: "this group is very elusive, to the point they are practically myths. they are firm followers of liege maximo and logos prime, focusing on scheming and altering their identities to get what they want.....sometimes they appear as attendants to a higher figure, other times as street-walkers, and in some cases as the target themselves....only one true confirmed instance of one of the members being identified before she completed the mission, and that led to the destruction of a small village by the combined form bloggers call "dominatron"......they don't just do this for fun. they find rich cybertronians in search of info or vengeance, leaves a calling call for the client, then they drop off the payment at a disclosed location. one cycle later leads to the contract fulfilled,.." as for a color scheme, i suggest mostly black, with light shades of other colors for each member.......
How about Strika- Hotspot Nightbird- Jet mold (arm) Nightracer- Breakdown mold (leg) Shadow Striker- Breakdown mold (leg) Fracture/Crasher- Mirage mold (arm) Swift (Swift)- - Transformers Wiki AB Mold (auxiliary limb) Lyzack- Legends Starscream mold
An interesting idea you suggested Marvel, however there's an issue I have with it. The whole group relies on stealth and using fake personas. Making a combiner out of that seems more of a hindrance than benefit. Granted it would be interesting to see a team that refuses to combine but that still leaves the issue of stealth. I can see this idea working out better for a team of Headmasters who switch bodies to create new identities. Well I can't use Crasher since I already put her on the Stunticon roster. Still some good ideas here.
for the third friggin attempt...... a circus themed team! stronglift the bruiser/weight lifter from motormaster (bruiser) packer the small car that can pack ALL the weapons (tactician) the amazing leaping fin twins, finscale and tailfin, from skydives(could be aquatic modded) (lure and distractions) the plasmaspitter and ringtosser, sprayout, from offroad (the long range fighter) the stuntmaster, crazywheelz, from groove.....(the wildcard) the combined mode is "ringmaster" she utilizes all the abilities of his individual components, but can't hold the form for too long...... they normally entertain the crowds in decepticon cities between battles, but they work in unison no matter what.... btw, headmasters are a great idea....
Not sure if I'll use this but this has to be, hands down, the greatest idea for a combiner team I've ever heard.
Strika from Rook (if you haven't already), Thunderblast from some plane (even though she's a boat), Flamewar from Groove, Slipstream form Air Raid, Airrachnid from Alpha Bravo, and maybe Ripclaw from Skylynx. I tried T.T
^ Don't worry, Raiyuki. I'm finishing my first two combiners before tackling this. Take all the time you need to share ideas.
UPDATED Well with Lyzack I'm waiting to hear Takara's Liokaiser release. However Jallguar and Deathcobra are prioritized above her so we'll see. As for Pathfinder I'm not so sure of her. I assume you intend for both to combine like Hasbro's Strafe and Scrounge for Computron which is a solid idea. I'm just not sure of the character is all. Anyways, I might as well throw my own ideas into the ring. These are not the final decision since I have to finish my second Decepticon combiner before getting to work on this one. 1) Artic Expedition. Team colors of White, Dark Blue, Black. Mostly ground and heavy duty vehicles. Use of cryogenic weaponry and camouflage in snow as tactics. 2) Salvage Team. No uniform colors. Mostly aircraft/space vehicles. Occupation of deep space ship salvage and recovery. 3) Samurai. Team colors of Red, Gold, Black. Various vehicles with Sky Lynx torso (pseudo Dragon). Warriors who believe in the the eight virtues of the samurai code and fight for the Decepticon ideals, even against their own kind.
Well Takara's take on Victorion was revealed and for those who missed my opinion on the subject I wasn't impressed. Out of the set only Mega-Empress and the gestalt weapon interested me. The limbs were just the worst kind of black repaints I've seen and the profiles of being Decepticon fanngirls didn't help either. Now credit where it's due I did like the use of card-based named but those and the previously mentioned items I approve of are all that I can say that's positive. Is it a terrible set? Not at all. I just don't think the set is worth importing when I probably could do a better job. Speaking of doing a better job here's my suggestion for a female Con combiner using the same molds. If this is to your liking go ahead and take a swing at it. Pyra Magna -> Strika (Use Universe Pandemic as reference) Dustup -> Nightracer (How did Takara not see this) Jumpstream -> Shadowstriker Skyburst -> Lyzack or Thunderblast (imaginary submarine/helicopter) Stormclash -> Navi-Ko (Same with Thunderblast. Just imagine she's wearing swimming goggles) EDIT: Here are some visual demonstrations
Old topic, I know but I dug it up while looking for something else and found it interesting! So, here's mine: Autobots - Heavy Metal Torso: Nautica (Elita 1 mold) Limb bots: Strongarm (Offroad mold), Mudbath (Hound mold), Roulette (Prowl or Dead End mold), Airazor (Beast Wars deco but ROFT deco work great too; Fireflight mold), Additional: Breakage (Legends Groove mold) Decepticons - Battle Gaia Torso: Strika (Optimus Prime or Onslaught mold) Limb bots: Spacewarp (Blackwing), Dust Storm (Swindle mold), Crash Test (Jazz mold), Slipstream (Dreadwind) Additional: Nightracer (Blackjack mold or Deluxe Prowl/Dead End)
