Not Targetmasters or Powermasters?

Those to a degree, but in the way described above, the PCC Minicons doing all three roles of robot/weapon/armour seem the closest comparison and something that has been 'tested' recently (just like PCC in general was a test of combiners in its way).

The idea of a weapon/armour/partner makes me think of the MiniCons from Power Core Combiners.

Reminds me of the recent RID minicons. If you collected all of waves 1 and 2, you could use bits of their armour to make a lovely rainbow Lion and Shark.

Ah, fair enough then. Cheers for the info.

I hadn't come across those before. They're very interesting. Thanks.
