Combusta

Combusta is a Mini-Con from the Legends of the Microns portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Big momma Combusta

Combusta (コンバスタ Konbasuta) is the de facto leader of the Sonic Assault Team, acting as much a mother as a military leader. She keeps the hot-headed Falcia in check and the airheaded Twirl out of trouble. She's normally a very kind and generous soul, but she gets extremely violent should someone threaten her charges. An angry Combusta can make even Falcia look demure. Combusta also appears to have incredible technical skill.

To those who can understand the Mini-Cons' binary language (or when the upgraded Mini-Cons speak in "normal" language), Combusta has a very thick Hispanic American accent, littered with expressions like "Mija/Mijo-Con" and "Pobrecito-bot".

Fiction

Linkage

Combusta's storage panel was one of the many scattered across Earth after the crash of the Exodus, but unlike most she reactivated on her own, without contact from humans or Bulks She reunited with Falcia through unknown means, and was waiting on top of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington while Falcia retrieved Twirl's panel. The Speed Chaser Team in their Magnawing mode attacked Falcia; though Combusta arrived and drove them off with her cannon mode, Twirl's panel was damaged in the fight. Linkage Part 6

Combusta helped set up the machinery that in the end would save Twirl's life, Linkage Part 7 and worked with the Super Stunt Team to set up the machinery that would allow her and Redline to activate the Master Key and unlock the Mini-Cons' full powers and break their programming bonds. She and Redline were the first Mini-Cons to undergo the upgrade, Linkage Part 9 and sent out the message to all Mini-Cons, allowing them to access their full powers as well. She used her new abilities to extract information on the Doomstone from Sunburn Linkage Part 10 and continued broadcasting the call to her mini-con brethren alongside Servo as Flat-Out obtained more information about the Doomstone. Linkage Part 11 She then helped revert the mutated Ravenus back to his original form.

Combusta joined all the other Mini-Cons in their return to Cybertron aboard the Autobot cruiser Axalon Linkage Part 12 and fought the hordes of their dark creator, Unicron. One year after the battle, she returned to Earth and helped build a free city for Mini-Cons there. Linkage Part 13
