A giant woman (a giant WOOOman)
Victorion is the combined form of the Torchbearers, a team of explorers who seek ancient Cybertronian artifacts. As all six of her components are devout followers of the Mistress of Flame, the religious head of Caminus, Victorion gets a leeeeeeetle bit tetchy when someone threatens sacred relics. And by "tetchy" we mean "summons the wrath of god upon their heads". Between her whirling blade weapons, gravity-control powers, and the ability to fly under her own power, she's more than capable of some righteous smiting.

During a standoff between the team, Windblade and Chromia, Arcee threatened to destroy the artifact, only for Rust Dust to make a grab for it, activating the Enigma and fusing the Torchbearers into Victorion.
The gestalt focused its energies on protecting the artifact of its birth... by trying to obliterate Arcee. Windblade and Chromia saved her, unwilling to let anyone die.

- Victorion (Giftset, 2016)
- Accessories: Left & right hands, 2 feet, buildable broadsword
- Part of the Combiner Wars series, Victorion is made up of Voyager-class Pyra Magna as the torso, with Rust Dust forming her chest, and Dustup, Stormclash, Skyburst and Jumpstream each forming a limb. Pyra Magna has been retooled to give Victorion a new head. Having the copter-twins Skyburst and Stormclash as legs puts her in "flight mode". Her broadsword is the combined mode of her components' weapons, with the base of the sword resembling the Lightning Bug from the original cartoon episode "Cosmic Rust".
- Victorion is only available as a box set, thought outlets currently undetermined (but presumably as a "shared exclusive" via online sales, alongside the Generation 2-colored box set versions of Superion and Menasor.
Notes
- Victorion was the result of the 2015 Fan Built Combiner polls. Fan-voting determined:
- Her gender
- Her name
- The molds used
- Her color scheme
- Her special power
- Her origin ("Rust Sea" won, so while the components are from Caminus, Victorion proper was "born" in the Rust Sea in-fiction.)
- Her "rival" (Galvatronus won, and while that "character" doesn't exist in the IDW Generation 1 continuity, there is a current Galvatron for her to butt heads with!)
- Her attitude ("doesn't take instruction well" won, and yeah, her first forming, she's kind of a loose cannon until Windblade talks her down.)
- Though she is the first female "traditional", Scramble City style combiner, the honor of first combiner to be referred to as female goes to Heavy Metal, a 3-bot Mini-Con combiner.
- She is the only Combiner Wars super-robot with dedicated hand and foot parts, rather than the "can be either hand or a foot or a gun" parts that come with the rest of the limb-bots in the series. This is because her components aren't sold separately, thus a reduced need for flexibility in the hand/foot-part department.
