Combiner Wars (franchise)

| |||||||||||||||
Combiner Wars is a 2015 multimedia branding used by Hasbro, encompassing Transformers toys, comics, and other merchandise. As the name suggests, it focuses on combiners, specifically the Scramble City-style combiner teams from Generation 1.
As the first installment in the "Prime Wars" trilogy, Combiner Wars precedes the Titans Return subline, set to release in summer 2016.
Toys
Following the conclusion of the Generations toyline's Thrilling 30 subline imprint, it was refreshed with Combiner Wars branding. This new subline ushered in a new, unified play pattern whereby a Voyager Class toy and any four Deluxe Class figures can form a combiner robot. Furthermore, some Legends Class toys can form accessories for the combined figures, such as armor and weapons. They are not compatible with Fall of Cybertron Bruticus and his retool, as the Combiner Wars figures feature a larger peg system.
Takara's iteration of this toyline is titled Unite Warriors. It is noted for featuring the combiner teams with their classic members in more cartoon-accurate color schemes and sometimes entirely different molds.
