Random Bunny

(Even though there are probably a few reasons for why Gestalts are made in the various canons and how this bunny still nibbled at my brain meats and I'm setting it loose here in case anyone would like it living in their head.)

There were few Gestalts before the war, and even during the war few new gestalts were made. To a lot of newsparks that don't recall the Golden Age of Cybertron it's just a fact of life. To those who knew better they could regale you with the complicated social mess that accompanied the forming of a new gestalt.

For you see, the programing and initial set up for the physical modifications for such a choice is present in quite a few mechs. They just never utilize it because of what doing so would entail. First there was the whole figuring out just who it was that was going to be part of your team, showing interest in them for such, and even various methods of bullying or wooing to get your chosen gestaltmates to agree. An especially complicated and time consuming act if there was another team eyeballing the same mech as you for their team. Then there was figuring out who would be the leader and thus center for the team, which component of the combined form everyone would be, and then going through the process of becoming a proper gestalt and pretty much agreeing to never having a private thought again for the rest of their natural lives.

A very trying and emotionally charged adventure, and why the older gestalts had to fight the urge to smack the war sparked one when those ones started bickering amongst themselves and saying they wanted a different team.
