The Combicons are Decepticon guinea pigs from the 2005 IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Decepticon quintet known as the Combicons represented an early attempt to create a viable combiner. By all accounts, it didn't work out.

The Combicons comprise:

2005 IDW continuity

[edit]

After the death of Nexus Prime and Nova Prime's ill-fated Monstructor project, various groups continued to search for the secret behind gestalt technology. The Crucible During the Great War, the Decepticons experimented on five of their troops in the hopes of giving them combining capability. Ultimately, the Combicon project failed, and at some point Ambulon defected to the Autobots. How Ratchet Got His Hands Back No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases

Notes

[edit]
  • The Combicons were first alluded to way back in "How Ratchet Got His Hands Back", although they only received an official team name and a full roster in the backup story "No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases".
  • While most other combining characters possess three modes—robot, vehicle, and body part—Ambulon, and presumably the other Combicons, can only transform into their respective combiner parts.
  • Based on Ambulon's turnout, it can be assumed the Combicon project involved a team of Cybertronians combining physically, but not mentally, akin to a human pyramid. Swindle's attempt to modify the Stunticons to combine into Menasor in Things Fall Apart, Part 4: "Enemies of the System" involved the same concept, with disastrous results due to their inability to properly coordinate their unmerged minds.
