Oh, this can be interesting exploration and divergence between Combatron and Carcer as they're both heavily miltaristic cultures.

I view Carcer as more like a version of armed neutrality along with the concept of the Gray Wardens from Dragon Age Origins. The Carcerians are the descendants that served Liege Maximo, who became their liege lord's wardens until the heat death of everything. Of course, they would develop extremist views on the containment of the Prime and his Titan that aligns with their repentant tribe's new motto: Efficiency. Security. Truth.

Combatron could be something like the Mandalorians from Star Wars and the Death World of Krieg from Warhammer. Both have fantastic ties as they mirror the civil war that decimated and irradiated Combatron. Similar to them, you would need to focus on their version of religion and spirituality with the emphasis of collectiveness, martial arts, and similar lifestyles. Even if you do utilize something more akin to Sparta of Ancient Greece, the Spartans still had all those things to bind them together. Similar issues with pulling ideas from the Vikings as raiders or mercenaries, you still need to work on glue that holds them together.

There's a lot that can be done, depending on direction you want to take. Shoot, you could even tie in something like Braavos from A Song of Fire and Ice and have them engaged in a long, vicious protracted warfare against the Quintesson Empire.

In regards to their worship, it could be interesting to play with the unknown Thirteen as he/they are called the Arisen.

"He who came from nothing, striked the final blow to become everything."

Or perhaps the Combatrians eschew the Thriteen Primes. Yes, the give their respects as all were fearsome warriors that shaped the universe, but they deliver their faith and fervor to the origins of all: Primus and Unicron.

I shall forgive your inability to recognise me, as I do realise that particular form of mine is one that imposters from other universes seem to be fond of imitating.
