This is certainly the case with, for example, most Super Sentai and Power Rangers series, where once the team's Megazord is revealed (usually within the first couple of episodes, sometimes inside of the Pilot Episode), they will never use anything less. In many series, if a team of mecha is revealed to have a combined form, expect to see the individual mecha's abilities reduced to So Last Season status, with the mecha rarely used for anything other than their ability to combine.
On the other hand, some mecha can mix-and-match their configurations to form any part of the combined robot, and it doesn't necessarily matter who forms which piece. The Hero) forming the robot's head or torso in the process - after all, the leader is the 'head' of the group, so why not have them become the literal head of the combined form? This also eliminates the requirement for more than one Transformation Sequence, since the component mecha will always form the same result in the same manner. In most cases each mecha comprises one specific piece of the resulting robot, with the group's leader (i.e. In some settings (such as Voltron) the crew remains in their separate individual cockpits (with the leader responsible for most of the robot's control), while other settings like Super Sentai and Power Rangers transfer the heroes to a central "bridge" area in the core of the mecha and they control the robot as a group (again, usually under the leader's direction). Who controls the combined form, and where the crew ends up after the merge, also varies. It's common to find these in the same places as Transforming Mecha - indeed there are many that can do both. Combining Mecha are frequently a metaphor for Team Spirit and/or The Power of Friendship because of this. It can be a decent way to hide a really big robot in plain sight, by breaking it up into pieces.Īfter the merge (accompanied by the stock Transformation Sequence), the new mecha will have powers and abilities greater than the sum of its parts. When two or more independent mecha note Or other vehicles, but mecha are most common can combine to make another, larger mecha.
