“All I want to do/is see six robots turn into/a giant woman.” Hasbro’s Fan Built Combiner poll culminates in the creation of Victorion, the most together combiner team Transformers has ever seen.
Revealed yesterday in a USA Today exclusive, Victorion is two race cars, two helicopters, a motorcycle and a rescue truck combined together into unit more cohesive than any gestalt Transformer before her. While older teams speak in small words with staggered speech patterns, the level of cooperation and trust between her six elements gives Victorion a more cohesive, intelligent personality.
The six robots’ individual names have not been revealed, though we may here more on that during this weekend’s Botcon convention in Chicago. We’ll definitely know more next month, when Victorion makes her big debut in IDW’s Combiner Hunters one-shot, starring a trio of other prominent female Transformers — Chromia, Arcee and Windblade, the latter also a character created by fans via a Hasbro poll.
As for toys, I’m guessing we’ll see a batch of repaints and slight remoulds making up the massive lady once Hasbro is ready to show her off.
No doubt some of you are wondering why intelligent robots have different genders. I wouldn’t. The headache I developed even thinking about explaining it just isn’t worth it. If you really want to know, you can find out more here.

Cool, looks pretty neat.
Have they ever done a combiner story where one of the parts is killed off? I could see that as being emotionally traumatic for the others, phantom limb issues, etc.
They’ve probably done that already…
Yep, in the current run. Scrapper, one of the Constructions was killed, making it so they could never form Devastator. That whole story arc is very interesting, because you can never go long without a Devastator..
D’aww, i was kinda hoping for a one-armed devastator, where it’s functional but can’t do everything it used to. BUT DAMMIT IT DOES ITS BEST!
*pours a shot on the ground*
That’s for scrapper.
Wait, he was just the left leg. They couldn’t stick a hunk of metal in as a bit of a transformer peg-leg…?
To sell toys.
I can’t wait to see what the actual toys look like. We knew it was going to be a repaint from already existing figures, and it looks like it’s going to be a retooled Hot Spot, 2 x Helicopters and 2 x Sports Cars.
Looks cool tho the lipstick is kinda weird.
wait they have genders o.O
The in-universe lore is flimsy >.>
Wait until they start making the female versions transform into hair dryers and ironing boards and ovens and stuff… DOMESTICONS ROLL OUT (the welcome wagon for the male transformers when they come home, because they’ll be tired and want dinner…)
To this date, I never considered transformers as male or female….interesting…
