* Magmatron, of the Japanese-only ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' series ''Anime/BeastWarsNeo''. Unlike most of the examples from ''Transformers'', Magmatron was actually one individual that could separate his body into three smaller dinosaurs. The dinosaurs could also combine to form a [[MixAndMatchCritters bigger dinosaur with three heads]].

** Lagann's special ability is that it is able to fuse with other mecha. In fact, Gurren Lagann itself is a fusion of no less than ''six'' mechs: The three Gunmen that were combined into Gurren, Lagann, A bit of the Enkidu (Viral's Gunman- specifically the helmet), and a flying Gunman.



** They do this all the time. The Gurren-Lagann is the combination of Gurren and Lagann. Gurren-hen has this in ClippedWingAngel form with the [[spoiler: Dai Gun Doten Kaizan, a combination of the 4 Generals Flagships. It fires one volley of missiles, then gets promptly Giga Drilled.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBotsMaster'' has Jungle Fiver. Like the Transformers, five vehicles [[TransformingMecha that can themselves become giant mecha]] can all combine and transform into a giant robot. Unlike the rest of the Boyzz Brigade which is made of human-sized sentient bots, the five vehicles are usually manned by five pilots (usually the Sports Boyzz and Blitzy) and Jungle Fiver is not sentient itself.

It's common to find these in the same places as TransformingMecha -- indeed there are many that can do both, and combining may be considered a type of transformation in itself due to reconfiguration of the individual mecha often being required. A frequent source of TechnologyPorn.

* In ''Kingdom Wars 2'' from Springcomes, the setting is a fantasy world whose highest tech achievement are {{Steampunk}} and [[ClockPunk]] gizmos such as the Goblin copter. But from another dimension comes the legendary unit Mark Seven and the superlegendary Undine. Mark Seven is a stationary defense turret that fires {{Energy Ball}}s from where it's been deployed while Undine is an android swordswoman with a high tech sword and incredible partying skill. However if you move Undine into Mark Seven, they'll combine to transform Undine into FlyingFirepower as she flies around in jet boots and her hands are replaced with an ArmCannon each, as they shoot even deadlier energy balls than Mark Seven did before.
