To tell the truth, I really don't know anything about good old robo/mecha stuff from Japan aside from the names of a few iconic figures. I prefer the blocky stuff, if that's what you consider Zambot or Iron Gear, which are two possiblities I'm considering. Also, God Mars looks amazing! It has to be the best gestalt (is that proper outside of TF?) I've ever seen.

Cyclonus (an amazing character who deserves such treatment)

You know, I hadn't thought of Cyclonus, but that would be a good idea.

ROFLMAO!!!

He CAN indeed transform to an oversized Walther P-38 (about 1.3 larger than the real thing). However, it's almost insane how some of the parts twists and join together! This is the reason why whenever there is a "What is the toughest transformer to transforn"Topic comes up, MP-05 Megatron is at the top of the list!

Just to let you know, I was able to succeed in transforming my Meg.....It only took 1 hour and 45 minutes for the first time when I did it! and another 45 minutes to get him back to robot mode!

'Snot really a term inside TF, just a fan-ism

... officially they were always combiners or Special Teams, IIRC, if anything. I'm not sure if they're even gestalts in the real use of the word as generally they're not so much a composite of the individual minds, but a 6ht/7th distinct personality (e.g. the Constructicons are all smart, capable individuals, but the combined form is dumber than any of them and possesses none of their skills really). God Mars is a combining mecha, in that the little red chap (piloted by a kid named Takeru) controls the whole thing... IIRC (not seen much of the actual cartoon) the individual robots don't have pilots, but aren't exactly sentient - they're programmed bodyguards for Takeru, capable of a little individual behaviour but generally just following his lead or protecting him.

Ditto on Soundwave. Hot Rod/Rodimus is a must.
