@quinn2win
Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:00 AM
and they are by nature modular combiners

@quinn2win
Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:00 AM
two of them can fuse to make a new stronger one

But the mecha suits can ALSO combine with the alien ro-GODDAMMIT STEVEN UNIVERSE DID THIS TOO

@quinn2win
Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:04 AM
it is the nature of all high-concept sci-fi to eventually reinvent Steven Universe

Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:05 AM
you're using TFs as a benchmark to work from

@quinn2win
Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:05 AM
yeah

@Tyranno
Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:06 AM
they combined with one another

Steven is compatible with both humans and
Gems

@MadarFoxfire
Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:08 AM
Could he potentially combine with say Optimus Prime
Gabiluzbad
@Overbringer
Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:08 AM
...didn't Transformers Animated have that one robot girl who thought she was human?
~Lamiamon~
@Tyranno
Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:09 AM
no

Sari was part organic, part cybertronian

Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:09 AM
THAT was it

@Overbringer
Mon, Jul 25, 2022 2:09 AM
So then Sari can fuse with Steven and become the ultimate lifeform
