My ideas on a full scale Combiner Wars that makes most the various toys and such works without IDW Publishing, and includes some favorite elements from other Transformers franchises as well as GoBots.

Armies Forming

The following takes place in a reality where events transpired largely as seen in The Transformers but with the inclusion of elements such as the Thirteen Primes.

The second Golden Age of Cybertron was not a peaceful one for long, it is sad to say. True, Galvatron and the majority of the Decepticons had been driven into deep space aboard Zarak's Scorponok Transtector, and the Plasma Energy Chamber had restored power to the long-drained Cybertron. Moreover, the humans of Earth had provided the Autobots with a new team of Combiner components, the Trainbots via their Project: Raiden. These new Transformers were soon given life through Vector Sigma, which Optimus Prime was able to activate using the Matrix of Leadership's cell to awaken the Spark of Alpha Trion. For a time, these new Autobots enjoyed a peaceful existence on their revitalized homeworld after it was moved back to its proper coordinates, while ties were reopened with Cybertronian colonies like the lost Paradron.

Sadly, it wasn't long before Galvatron made his way to Cybertron, with his forces expanded and steadily increasing due to his recruitment efforts among the stars. In his wanderings he had found the colony worlds as well, and among their inhabitants were Decepticon sympathizers, would be conquerors who jumped at the chance to expand their resources, and even those who saw his return as a sign of the Decepticons' eventual destiny to rule over the universe. Impatient as always, Galvatron waited not for his allies to join him in force but launched a surprise attack on Cybertron, seeking to seize the home plant of the Transformer race for himself once again. However, his anticipated advantage was a thing of imagination: word of his return brought Fortress Maximus and the Autobot Headmasters back from Nebulos to counter their Decepticon counterparts, while Raiden and Omega Supreme served to counter the Decepticon Combiners. Furious, Galvatron engaged Optimus in an epic duel, only to be carried from the struggle gravely wounded.

Unfortunately, Galvatron's fall precipitated the rise of an even greater threat, as Shockwave-newly emerged after disappearing during Unicron's attack on Cybertron-led a team of Decepticons in tending to their fallen leader. Shockwave's twisted mind took advantage of the damage to fragment Galvatron's injured Spark, having discovered that a clash between his present and past identities had provoked much of his madness. The largest fragment of Galvatron's split Spark was placed within a new, more powerful frame and reassumed its former identity: Megatron was thus reborn. Meanwhile, the broken body of Galvatron and the Spark fragment within it were too badly damaged to be repaired, and the Spark was too weak to sustain itself in a new body. As such, Shockwave incorporated the Spark and components into volunteer Cyclonus, who together with the rebuilt Thrust and new recruits Terrorsaur, Offroad, and Roller gave the weakened fragment of Galvatron new life as Galvatronus.

With news of Galvatronus and the arrival of the Star Seekers and Tidal Wave standing in opposition to the might of Omega Supreme, Optimus Prime decided to take a page out of his enemies' book. Two new Autobot Combiner teams were thus formed: Optimus recruited Mirage, Ironhide, Sunstreaker, and Prowl to join him as Optimus Maximus, while Sky Lynx took command of his egotistically named Lynxmasters-Hound, Trailbreaker, Ratchet, and Wheeljack-to form Sky Reign. The threats of Galvatronus and Predaking were thus checked, and the Decepticons stymied-but only temporarily. Megatron soon turned to new allies, the Six Changer Gigatron and Cy-Kill, leader of the Renegades; though he detested the latter's partially organic nature, the addition of the Gobotron Combiners Puzzler, Monsterous, and Grungy together with Gigatron's warrior Ruination more than made up for it. The Autobots were only saved by Optimus' own timely alliance with the Guardians, Rock Lords and Autobots under Leader-1, the Jewel Lords, and Fire Convoy, which expanded the Autobot Combiner ranks to include Courageous, Rail Racer, Fossilsaurus, and Landfill.
