Yes you have to have all six bots and i think they all have to be the same star ranking (actually it looks like you have to have all 6 minimum of 3 stars). not sure about the power, level, etc.

looks like we're getting a new building that will harvest ore, and the ore is needed to take the combiner into battle. there's a new menu for the combiner squad. If i'm not mistaken, you start the battle as the combiner, you have two attacks to choose from, you don't gain AP from them, and then I guess you break apart into the individual bots after the attacks.

 

They better damn well make it easier to get a hold of the 3* combiner bots you're missing. I know i'm missing at least 1 from both combiners, and if I have to depend on the crappy drop rates to complete the set, I'm going to be pissed.

 

Wouldn't be surprised if there is a multi-week buildup to actually being able to use Combiners. I personally need 4 more 3* bots to have a set.

 

3 star bots combiner? I'm screwed...only have Silverbot, pyra magna and Air raid...

 

How are combiners working out?

Is it fair that the cons need 6 constructicons?!

I have 5 different constructicons, but different star ratings, will they combine?!

 

So far have seen you gather 1 Ore-13 an hour can store 50 and takes 25 to use them.

 

• Combiner functions like a boost, and your regular squad can still deploy afterward.
  
• Full 3* team minimum (no word of how mixing 3*s and 4*s affects anything yet).
• HP seems to deplete on its own, in addition to damage taken (combiners can time out naturally?).
• Two default abilities with a 3* team, 3rd ability locked behind a 4* team (confirm/deny?).

Combiners are researched at their own combiner lab. Rumors of a possible combiner outpost are floating around, allowing you to stick a big guy on defense too. More rumors of ore being a resource used to deploy combiners. Word now, is that ore is acquired as a war reward.

Acquiring combination at all is locked behind a new set of campaign missions, The Enigma of Combination.

 

Sucks that it's three star minimum. All of my Constructicons are two star, and I still haven't got Scavenger...
Hope that they make it easier to aquire the Bots so that everyone can join in.

 

Superion needs 6 bots too. Powerglide included

 

Superion will have 6.

 

Oh, don't be surprised if you suddenly start seeing tie combiner packs on sale, in the near future, that will give you a "chance" of pulling down the bot you need. In true Spaceape fashion, however, the odds of you actually pulling that bot are slim to none.

 

Heard there was a player initiated poll that was sent out to over a hundred alliances, asking what their pulls were for this last event. Curious to hear what they discovered. Bet the pull rates for a 3* and 4* Gnaw were abysmal.

 

Those are some wonky character designs right there :/

 

I'm in the same position, just missing scavenger and all my Constructicons are 2*. Would have been nice if they didn't limit it like this so everyone can enjoy the game and the features of it.

 

What is up with Superion's right arm? That's not where the combiner port is.

 

They clearly didn't bother to use the PE hands and feet on Superion

 

While I agree this is the most likely outcome, it's also possible they try to add on some new campaign missions, with the prize being 3* Scavenger... but you need to collect the rest yourself.
