Combaticons

The Combaticons are a team that features in Transformers.

History

U.S. Animated

The Combaticons were originally a group of renegade Decepticons whose bodies were destroyed and their personality components were stored at the detention centre on Cybertron. They would remain there until one day when Starscream sought them out after a failed attempt at deposing Megatron. Seeking revenge, he sought to assemble a cadre of warriors that obeyed him to help him claim leadership over the Decepticons. Using a Space Bridge, he travelled to Cybertron and claimed the personality components of the renegade Decepticons. Returning to Earth, he installed them into new bodies fashioned from old Earth military vehicles left on a deserted island. Once installed, they became the Combaticons who initially looked to refuse to follow Starscream. However, Starscream revealed that he did not install any energy absorbers in the Combaticons bodies thus preventing them from refuelling. The renegade Decepticons ultimately decided to help Starscream in his plot in exchange to be fitted with the energy absorbers. Thus, a military campaign began where Starscream and the Combaticons targeted both Autobot and Decepticon forces. Under Starscream's leadership, the Combaticons managed to capture several prisoners, then used their energy absorbers to recharge themselves at a power plant. Unfortunately, Megatron and the Decepticons attacked, while the Autobots rescued their comrades. The Constructicons formed Devastator, who was quickly defeated by the Combaticons' much more powerful, but dull-witted combined form, Bruticus. Starscream ordered Bruticus to grab Megatron, forcing his former commander to acknowledge Starscream as the new leader of the Decepticons. Under duress, Megatron did so as the Stunticons watched nearby. The latter group, deciding that Starscream would be too dangerous as a leader, quickly formed Menasor and defeated Bruticus with a single attack.
