Landcross

Yes, finally a Transformer or should I say Gestalt or Combiners, for those who has new clue on what Im blabbling about, Gestalts are smaller robots that merge to form a bigger more stronger one. Right here is another one of those Gestalts/ Combiners from 1989's Transformers Victory series, Muilti-force Landcross.

Usually theres 5 with the exception of G1 Devastator, Landcross is one of the exceptional ones. The gimmick with this set is that the smaller robots can pair off and merge each other to form a slightly bigger robot. All six combined forms Landcross. Take a look....

The indivitual robots could also interchange and combine to form all sort of combos, but in the animation, these are the more common pair-ups.

And of course, the all time fave among all combining robots is the fully combine form, LANDCROSS. Landcross' gun is formed by combining all the robot's gun.

Though the articulations are minimal and proportion of the overall robot isn't that great, the design was awesome and I always had a soft spot for Landcross and Liokaiser.... If you watch the cartoon when you were younger, you should get this guy as the reissue version won't hurt your wallet that much at all.....
