Weapons under the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' C.O.M.B.A.T. System have multiple [[5 mm post]] hardpoints on them so that they can be combined in various configurations (some official), and can sometimes transform into different weapons. [[Micromaster]]s, which are bundled in two packs, are able to combine into large weapons as well as transform into their vehicle form. This size class is also used for Soundwave's minions, who can turn into cassettes or be used as a shield with fold-out pegs. "[[Battle Master]]s", small [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]-type figures, combine with other weapons and figures. They include additional "Fire Blast" effect pieces that can be placed onto other weapons included with other size classes, as well as hardpoints on the figures themselves to simulate being 'shot' or on the back of vehicles to simulate "rocket boosters" or "speed", depending on the effect part. Each effect part attaches via a 3 mm hole or, in most cases, 5 mm posts. Some Deluxe Class figures are classified as "Deluxe Weaponizers," which can be disassembled into multiple weapons to be used in the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Most Weaponizers were released in the ''Siege'' toyline, with the prominent exception of [[Slammer#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Slammer]] who was released [[A.I.R. Lock System|two whole]] [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology|modular systems]] later in ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]''. | |||

| The name or term "Weaponizer" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Weaponizer (disambiguation). |

The Cybertronian Omnifunctional Modular Battlefield Assault Tech System[1]—or the C.O.M.B.A.T. System for short—is a type of modular weapons technology purported to be the most advanced in the universe. Employed by the Transformers in the final days of their conflict on Cybertron, C.O.M.B.A.T. weapons can convert into alternate forms suited for different types of combat or combine to become bigger and stronger.
The system is perhaps most visible in the Weaponizers—sentient Cybertronians who can split apart into weapons for their comrades.
Fiction
War for Cybertron Trilogy marketing material
The Weaponizer ability was one of Slammer's weapons and powers. Kingdom webpage[2]
Toys
Weapons under the Siege C.O.M.B.A.T. System have multiple 5 mm post hardpoints on them so that they can be combined in various configurations (some official), and can sometimes transform into different weapons. Micromasters, which are bundled in two packs, are able to combine into large weapons as well as transform into their vehicle form. This size class is also used for Soundwave's minions, who can turn into cassettes or be used as a shield with fold-out pegs. "Battle Masters", small Targetmaster-type figures, combine with other weapons and figures. They include additional "Fire Blast" effect pieces that can be placed onto other weapons included with other size classes, as well as hardpoints on the figures themselves to simulate being 'shot' or on the back of vehicles to simulate "rocket boosters" or "speed", depending on the effect part. Each effect part attaches via a 3 mm hole or, in most cases, 5 mm posts. Some Deluxe Class figures are classified as "Deluxe Weaponizers," which can be disassembled into multiple weapons to be used in the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Most Weaponizers were released in the Siege toyline, with the prominent exception of Slammer who was released two whole modular systems later in Kingdom.
The names of the weapons and their official combinations were located in the instructions as well as promotional material prior to their release.
