Ok here it goes. Been thinking of this at work for a bit. This takes place way before Optimus Prime (and the first mini of course). It is about these massive transformers that are so powerful they can't be stopped. Of course they are some from all factions. So the Autobot leader (can't remember the one before Prime) came up with a way to stop them all. In the end the process causes their sparks to shatter into 5 or 6 pieces. Then the body's are broken down and the end results are 5 or 6 Transformers for eack of these guys. They find a way to 'combine' themselves back to their original body's. But the process cause the sparks to create new personal for each one. This causes them to not work well when combined so can be an easy way to defeat them.

 

So my idea is of course then all the combiners like Superion & Devastor were at one time big powerful Transformers. And in trying to stop them they were broken down into smaller Transformers making the combiner teams. Ok now for the onslaught of people saying this is stupid. Just wanted to share. I have an idea for the origin of Megatron too. :tfevil

And I just saw I put this in the toy section. Damn, sorry guys.

huh no one thought it was good. Oh well

Have you read the MTMTE books from DW? These books already explain combiner technology.

 

Simon Furman is already working on the next War Within project for this fall.

Well I missed the first one so. Oh well my bad. Nevermind then

I think your idea is interesting.

 

Long live imagination

the combiners were basically the result of an arms race. Combiner tech was THE weapon during the Dark Ages, every faction (Autobots, Decepticons, Predacons, Ultracons, maybe even the Wreckers and LSC) wanted to get their hands on it.

Oh I see. Wish I read the first series. Thanks BIG GRIM
