	::Yeah, in fact it's happening in the screencap right there. But I do think it's worth noting the implied limitation in the DW continuity... in fact, that whole section could use an expansion with MTMTE-bio info. The current wording makes it sound like only one Combiner even existed in that universe. - [[User:Jackpot\|Jackpot]] 17:21, 14 July 2009 (EDT)		::Yeah, in fact it's happening in the screencap right there.

			== 2 or more robots combine into 1 alternate mode ==

			*The two-robots-in-one-vehicle [[play pattern\|concept]] would not be revisited in toy form until [[2006]], with the introduction of [[Han Solo]] and [[Chewbacca]]'s combining [[Millennium Falcon\|vehicle mode]]. Three years later, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)\|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' line would see [[Skids (ROTF)\|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)\|Mudflap]]'s combined [[:File:ROTF Deluxe Skids&Mudflap toy.jpg\|ice cream truck]] form. The otherwise unfortunate [[Tri-Rex]] also features a similar combination gimmick, albeit with ''three'' separate figures combining to create one alternate mode.
			My brain is glitching on this blurb in the Notes section. Is the point that combiners rarely have a gestalt form which isn't a robot (should we mention [[Reflector (G1)]] and [[Reflector (Animated)]] here?) or is the point that a long time passed between G1's two-robots-in-one-altmode and the [[Tri-Rex\|next]]? or an even longer time between G1's two-robots-in-one-vehicle and [[Skids (ROTF)\|the]] [[Mudflap (ROTF)\|next]]? That's assuming there weren't other two-robots-in-one-whatevers that i'm not remembering right now and don't have the motivation to double-check. Someone want to check that? i might get back to it later, but i didn't want to delete/edit that part of the Notes section without seeing if i'm missing the point.
