Okay, so I may be insane to do this... but here are all my Micromaster designs so far, in a single thread. Enjoy. (Comments and thoughts and crits super welcome!) #transformers#interplanetarywrestling (Part 1 of 34)
Tracing the origin of the term "Combiners". It starts with g1 tech specs where "Combines with x to form x" was a standard phrase. Although as you can see from Hot Spot's bio it wasn't universal. There's no universal term for them in G1 at all #transformers (1/10)
There are a few official terms for certain kinds of combiners in Generation 1. "Special Teams" Appears to have been the intended term for the scramble-style combiners in the US, and was used extensively in the UK. #transformers (2/10)
There's a gap here in my knowledge -- I haven't gone back through Marvel comics and checked for the term combine (which does appear) or combiner (which I don't think appears). Here's some examples of how combiners are referred to, but it's not definitive. #transformers (3/10)
