A '''Crash Combiner''' is a type of [[Combiner]] found in the [[Aligned continuity family]]. Basically, two bots transform into vehicle mode, accelerate toward each other in a head-on-collision, and a combiner is born. Simple, but it is not recommended to try it at home.

"Uh, Dragstrip? I think we stepped in something..."
"I'm not the legs! That's your problem!"

A Crash Combiner is a type of combiner that is formed when two bots transform into vehicle mode and accelerate toward each other in a head-on-collision. Simple enough, but if you aren't a member of a combiner team, we recommend you not try this at home.

There are a lot of Autobots. Maybe if there were fewer of us, we'd have some better odds!Dragstrip, "Bee Cool"

Fiction

[edit]

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

[edit]

Dragbreak was formed when Dragstrip and Wildbreak collided with each other. Dragstrip appears to become the dominant personality. Bee Cool Heatmark was the combination of Heatseeker and Slashmark. Despite their personalities being almost polar opposites, Heatseeker and Slashmark’s minds seem to synergize perfectly when combined into Heatmark. The Golden Knight Combine and Conquer

Toys

[edit]

Robots in Disguise (2015)

[edit]
The accessibility on every scannable insignia sticker for the Robots in Disguise mobile game varies from figure-to-figure: Several of the toys, including the recent releases, cannot be scanned with the mobile game due to inaccessible badges and/or not being included for the roster.
Strongarm sure lives up to her name.
  • Optimus Prime & Strongarm (Crash Combiners, 2016)
Crash Combiner Primestrong consists of two roughly Basic-sized Autobots: Optimus Prime and Strongarm. As part of the Crash Combiners series, others in the series may replace either Primestrong's torso or lower body, although presumably the new gestalt would not be called Primestrong.
  • Lunar Force Optimus Prime & Strongarm (Crash Combiners, 2017)
This Primestrong is a Blizzard-ish redeco of the figure above. In what this wiki assumes is an error, their scannable badge has the Decepticon insignia in the stock photo as opposed to the final product. However, the badge still can unlock the character.
  • Bumblebee & Sideswipe (Crash Combiners, 2017)
Crash Combiner Beeside consists of two Autobots: Bumblebee and Sideswipe.
  • Skyhammer (Crash Combiner, 2017)
Released as the only new figure in the second wave, Skyhammer consists of Skysledge and Stormhammer.
  • Shocknado (Crash Combiner, 2017)
A redeco of Skyhammer in all purple livery, Shocknado consists of Shockdrive and Warnado.
  • Decepticon Dragstrip & Wildbreak (Crash Combiners, 2017)
Crash Combiner Dragbreak consists of two Cons: Dragstrip and Wildbreak.
  • Saberhorn & Bisk (Crash Combiners, 2018)
This two-pack of Saberhorn and Bisk combines into Saberclaw. This set seems to have been a very late addition to the Robots in Disguise line, with a Hasbro product code number in the same range as the wave 1 Prime Masters from Power of the Primes.
  • Optimus Prime & Grimlock (Crash Combiners, 2018)
This two-pack features a roughly-Legion sized Optimus Prime and Grimlock, which can combine to form Primelock. Optimus Prime is a retool from the first toy. As with Saberhorn and Bisk, this two-pack was also a very late addition to the Robots in Disguise line.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

[edit]
He's basically Ultra Bee if Bumblebee could form the arms on his own, which is probably better for everyone.
  • Grimlock / Bumblebee (Crash & Combine, 2021)
Part of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line's "Crash & Combine" assortment, this set contains redecoes of the Bumlebeee and Grimlock Crash Combiner molds, packaged together for the first time. The duo combines to form Bumblegrim.
  • Grimlock / Optimus Prime (Crash & Combine, 2021)
The second Buzzworthy Bumblebee Crash & Combine set contains another redecoed Grimlock, paired with a redeco of his original partner, Optimus Prime. The two Autobots once again combine to form Primelock.


Authentics

[edit]
In a surprising act of demotion, Bumblebee had been moved from top to bottom.
  • Bumblebee and Optimus Prime (Crash & Combine Heroes, 2025)
Sold as an Amazon-exclusive 2-Pack, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime are redecos of previous Crash Combiners, with Bumblebee in particular being a redeco of Dragstrip so he could form the legs. Surprisingly enough, this combiner doesn't have a name, so we'll just refer it as Bumblebee and Optimus Prime.


Notes

[edit]
  • Several toys similar to the Robots in Disguise "Crash Combiners" were released as part of the Dinobots United subline imprint for the fourth year of the Cyberverse toyline, in a series of two-packs called "Roll & Combine", but they were much larger, and as such are not compatible with the actual Crash Combiner figures.
