I voted Only If. As in, Only if you are very loose with your definition of combiner.

Is there any indication anywhere, on any of the packaging, that this guy does indeed combine? I couldn't see it. There are also no instructions on how to combine him which sucks a bit. Any kid that buys these guys and doesn't see promotional images somewhere is going to have no idea

Anyway, I took some pics this morning:


From the front.






From the back:







And some comparison shots:








Anyway, it's hard to take this guy seriously as a combiner. The individual robots are pretty good. They show some clever engineering. But I seriously believe Abominus was an afterthought.

I only bought them all because it was one of those things that was so bad that I loved it. And I do, in a weird sort of way. It helped that they were only $7 each. Any more and Hasbro could keep them.

So, in summary, I bought them knowing what I was getting and I even like it. But I wouldn't recommend it.
