Just doing this for fun but here’s my perspective on the dynamic that each combiner/gestalt team have together
Combaticons (Bruticus): coworkers turned lifelong ride or die friends of circumstance (they all deny it)
Protectobots (Defensor): coworkers turned lifelong ride or die friends of circumstance (openly accepts and embraces it)
Constructicons (Devastator): either plain jane coworkers or butch lesbian polycule. No in between
Aerialbots (Superion): vaguely sibling-like dynamic but unrelated to each other biologically; stronger adherence to rank hierarchy
Stunticons (Menasor): dysfunctional family. Straight up just a complete mess of a familial dynamic. Little to no respect for rank hierarchy
Technobots (Computron): coworkers who experimented on each other to the point they somehow became a combiner through sheer will and average IQ
Terrorcons (Abominus): combiner of happenstance (legit nobody knows how they ever became a gestalt)
Seacons (Piranhacon): military squadron turned gestalt via Big Science
Brainmasters (Road Caesar): long established comrades in arms with a deep trust between them; a cohort if anyone’s ever read my one post about them
Dinoforce (Dinoking): idiots who got lumped together into a team because Goryu wanted a squadron to lead (regrets his decisions)
Nexus Prime: used to just be one dude and later split into component parts; a group of clashing personalities and an inability to reach a true middle ground. Surprisingly stable in combined form
