dear vector prime, if a single combiner would be made out of male and/or female and/or non-binary transformers at the same time, how would be the gender identity of a combiner decided? also, are there any instances where combiner's components identify as one gender, but combiner itself as the other? (for example: the components are all guys, but the combiner is non-binary)
Dear Gender Guesser,
Mixed-gender combiner teams are comparatively rare, but not entirely unheard of. In most casesβPerceptor, Sixtrain, God Neptune, and some incarnations of Devastatorβthe combiner derives its gender from the majority of its components, so a four-fifths male team will usually lead to a male combiner. As most combiner teams across the multiverse arrange themselves into odd-numbered groups, this is a rather convenient compromise.Β
The second arrangement of which you speak is quite rare, although I understand that one female Devastator who menaced the Crystal City of her universe was formed from one male, two female, and three non-binary Constructicons.
