Crash Combiner

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

Crash Combiners are a type of combiner from the Aligned continuity family.

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

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

There are only two known Crash Combiners, both of them Stunticons. The first, Dragbreak, is formed when Dragstrip and Wildbreak collide with each other. Dragstrip forms the head, torso, and arms, while Wildbreak forms the legs and the...shoulders? However, Dragstrip and Wildbreak’s minds do not merge; Dragstrip appears to become the dominant personality, reaping the benefits of combination, while Wildbreak's presence is suppressed. The second combiner, Heatmark, is the combination of by Heatseeker, who forms the head, torso, and arms, and Slashmark, who forms the legs. Despite their personalities being almost polar opposites, Heatseeker and Slashmark’s minds seem to synergize perfectly when combined into Heatmark.

Toys

Robots in Disguise (2015)

• Optimus Prime & Strongarm (Crash Combiners, 2016)

Crash Combiner Primestrong consists of two roughly Legion-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.

The stock photo is slightly mistranformed: Primestrong's feet can actually flip down.

• 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, his 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 roughly Legion-sized Autobots: Bumblebee and Sideswipe. As a Combiner Force Crash Combiner, Beeside can swap with any torso or the bottom section of the Combiner.

• Skyhammer (Crash Combiner, 2017)

Released as the only new figure in the second wave of 2015 Robots in Disguise Crash Combiners, Skyhammer consists of two Legion-sized figures: Skysledge and Stormhammer. Each figure has a very simple transformation from vehicle to robot, or they can combine to form Skyhammer. Skyhammer features limited articulation at the shoulders and 5mm-compatible hands. Skyledge and Stormhammer can also combine with the rest of the Crash Combiners to form a random Combiner.

Skyhammer was later redecoed/retooled into Shocknado.

• Shocknado (Crash Combiner, 2017)

Released as part of the third wave of Robots in Disguise Crash Combiners, Shocknado is a redeco of fellow Crash Combiner Skyhammer in all purple livery. Shocknado consists of two Scout-sized figures: Shockdrive and Warnado. Each figure has a very simple transformation from vehicle to robot, or they can combine to form Shocknado. Shocknado features limited articulation in the shoulders and 5 mm-compatible hands.

As both components use the universal connector joint shared by all Crash Combiners and Team Combiners, Shockdrive and Warnado can also combine with any other toy in those lines, which can lead to some very unusual-looking results.

His torso mode features a scannable badge on his chest, which is compatible to the mobile game app. Scanning the badge temporarily unlocks Shocknado in the game.

• Decepticon Dragstrip & Wildbreak (Crash Combiners, 2017)

Robots in Disguise Crash Combiner Dragbreak consists of two roughly Legion-sized Cons: Dragstrip and Wildbreak. As a Crash Combiner, the components of Dragbreak can swap with those of other Crash Combiners. His colors and the positions of the two Decepticons are swapped as compared to his animation model.

• Saberhorn & Bisk (Crash Combiners, 2018)

This two-pack features a roughly-Legion sized Saberhorn and Bisk, which can transform from vehicle to robots, or combine to form Saberclaw. While Bisk automatically transforms when combined, Saberhorn must be transformed manually.

This two-pack was 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 transform from vehicle to robots, or combine to form Primelock.

This two-pack was 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.
