question over the years when it comes to the autobots and optimus prime , optimus has combined with everything from his trailer to his fellow autobots at times when it comes to rid and cybertron he combines with his trailer for a super mode and also combines with his brother ultra magnus to become omega prime in armada he combines with his base trailer, jetfire, and overload to become jet conbvoy and magna jet convoy in energon he combines with his prime force drones, wingsaber, and omega supreme and in cybertron he combines with leobreaker and wing saber which brings me to my question what would optimus and the autobots look like if they were to be reimagined as a series of yuusha brave transformers combiner teams?
The Yuusha or Brave series are a series of mecha anime that Takara made with Sunrise after their last Transformers OVA Transformers Zone. Think Transformers plus the super robot genre. Anyway Transformers Car Robots or Robots in Disguise was patterned after the Brave Series formula.
Actually, to correct you there, Brave was made following Transformers Victory, presumably because ratings were down on Transformers prompting the shift to the OVA format for Zone. Exkaiser was already out before Zone was made. On to the topic at hand, either Car Robots / Robots in Disguise or Transformers Victory would be the answer. Both series feature the core robot who has a super mode, a second ally introduced later who powers up the initial core robot, plus teams of support robots, most of whom combine. Both shows diverge with the lack of a monster of the week, but really, that is the only difference. So in other words, like Robots in Disguise if instead of fighting the Autobots every episode, Sky Byte would instead use some device to bring some nearby piece of machinery / building / Santa Claus Christmas parade float to life as a monster of the week, and fight alongside it, ultimately fleeing when it got trashed. Seriously, that is the only difference when it comes to RiD and Victory. Of all the TF series they come the closest to Brave, and all they really lack are the MotWs.
Indeed. Sol Fury answered this VERY well. Just look to some of the later G1 japanese series or Car Robots.
optimus will have unnecessary flame themed chest plate with lion head centerpiece, displayed prominently in both modes, forgoing any attempt at the 'disguise' theme.
