    Wasn't it obvious? Optimus Prime, Omega Supreme, and Wing Saber were all intended to combine just not all at the same time which is what I did here. The ports on Omega Supreme were intended for the Drones that come with Optimus but I attached Wing Saber instead since he's designed to use those same connection points. It was a bit tricky getting Wing Saber's parts into a configuration that would actually fit on Omega Supreme. The piece on his arm I actually wanted to go on one of the legs but the plastic around the connection is too thick for that to work. I might try to mess around with it again later. When I took that picture I had forgotten that the connection points on Omega's legs actually have another joint so they can be rotated around which means I might be able to position them in a way that won't infer with the connection. I also figured out some more interesting ways to attach Wing Saber's legs other than just having them in leg mode. Technically all four of Wingsaber's components are in leg mode for this picture.

    I have Energon Omega. I never cared much for Fatimus+Omega combo but I did pick up the drones because I though they looked cool and worked well on him. I didn't realize that Wing Saber could split into four different parts like that. Looks like I have another figure to add to my "to get" list.

    How did you not know about that? Optimus and Wing Saber combine in the cartoon and it's the whole reason his toy is basically a brick. They sacrificed a lot for his combined mode so Wing Saber by himself is kinda crap. I only got him specifically for the combination gimmick. Also he looks cool... I really like his design even if he is a brick with the articulation of a G1 toy.

    Anyway... there are two official combinations. Wing Saber's torso can form Arms for Optimus and his legs just attach as legs or you can transform Wing Saber's legs into arms for Optimus and turn the torso into legs. I tried to mix and match the two but the torso leg mode is actually a bit longer than Wing Saber's normal legs so he ends up being lop sided when you do that.

    Having all three combined in any configuration would just be fan modes cause Omega Supreme and Wing Saber aren't exactly suppose to combine at the same time. I just did it cause the connections are the same as the drone limbs.

    Oh and I would recommend getting Optimus too... Yeah fatty is kinda dumb and the combined mode with Omega Supreme is the dumbest thing ever but the Wing Saber combined modes are actually pretty awesome. I actually prefer Wing Saber over Prime's drones cause the drones make him look like a Power Rangers Megazord.

    Has this been done yet?
    I HATE partsforming, so taking off Sqweek's hands for transformation was not an option for me. That, and I can't stand the handlebars-sticking-out-of-his-neck.

    Wait... so you're telling me that Squeeks can be transformed WITHOUT parts forming? Why didn't Hasbro just design him this way to begin with instead of having fake handle bars? Usually when they have fake parts on toys it's because there's no possible way to get the real parts where they need to be. Plus when the handle bars are removable anyway it never made sense to me why he needed two different sets.

    SERIOUSLY HASBRO. WTF.
    I mean, taking off the handlebars also meant taking off the headlights, but it's not like Sqweeks actually transformed in the movie...

    I thought it looked like something was missing but I wasn't thinking about the headlights.

    Couldn't you cut the handle bars off, file down the little nubs, and then put the head lights back on?

    "JetWing Girmlock"?
    And also, a pretty tidy way to fully arm-up TLK Hound's vehicle mode with AoE Hound's weapons:

    Welp. Ruined someone's interpretation of a post. Is there a badge for that?
