The pictures and Goks description lines up with what your link says, so you're not trying to argue with him are you?

Actually, I interpreted Gok's imagery and comments as him saying that the other posts here that refer to Superion or Bruticus as a "Combiner" are incorrect, as they should be referred to as "Gestalts".The pictures and Goks description lines up with what your link says, so you're not trying to argue with him are you?
I also interpreted gok as saying they were different, which I disagree, as one is a subset of the other.
How did you interpret it?
Moreover, Gok, what did you mean?

I interpreted it exactly as his pictures.
You realise the top two form things right? A camera and a ship, and the bottom ones form a whole new robot.
Combiner, Gesault. Not a hard nut to crack.

I sure do. It seems to me that he's trying to communicate there's a difference between the two.
What does that mean?
Anyway, might be best if we let Gok say what Gok meant.

There is a difference. I can't believe I have to use your own evidence against you.
Ok, combiners:
Combiner
As above, a member of a group of Transformers who assemble into a composite form. Also refers to that composite form itself.
EG: Reflector.
Gesaults:
Gestalt
Fan-terminology for a certain class of combiners -- generally used only for "big robot" combiners with emergent personalities.
EG: Devastator.
I hope that puts us on the same page now.
But, personally I call them combiners no matter what. That is my personal belief, if they combine, well, they are combiners.

OK, but you have to promise me... this is the last time
Gestalt
Fan-terminology for a certain class of combiners
EG: Bruticus or Superion
Combiner

While Gestalt is a fine term to use to refer to Bruticus or Superion, SO IS "Combiner"!
Subset. Subset! Say it..... Subset!
Now leave me alone and let Gok speak for himself.
