9	* Creator/AdultSwim once spent a week talking about a hypothetical battle between a flying shark and a flying crocodile.
10	** ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' features The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future. The outrageous stories he tells also fall under this trope. In his first appearance, his stories are about a war between toy-making elves from "the red planet" and a large prehistoric ape who is actually Santa Claus (and for some reason, he also explains where baby robots come from). In his second appearance, he talks about hyper-evolved chickens who take over the world in the future.
11	* Marceline from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' is a [[HalfHumanHybrid Half]]-[[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demon]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] rock star.
12	* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3'' had (in the episode of the same name) "Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas", four of the Koopalings turned into giant ninjas in order to kidnap Prince Huge of Giant Land.
13	* One reviewer for ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' explained the MythArc as "[[SpaceWestern Space Cowboys]] versus [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace Space Zombies]] - how did this show ''not'' catch on?!"
14	* ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_T-Rex The Adventures of T-Rex]]'' is an early 90s co-production between USA and Japan born after the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The series is set InAWorld populated by anthropomorphic dinosaurs and reptiles, based on TheRoaringTwenties in America. The main characters are five Tyrannosaurus twins who act in a vaudeville show. They have a secret identity as the vigilante group T-REX, complete with Rexmobile and matching outfits a la Franchise/SuperSentai (one should remember this show is half-Japanese). Each one of them has a power based on a different body part, and their American voice actors are imitating celebrities, from Bing Crosby to Humphrey Bogart. Let me rephrase that: comedian ''Tyrannosaurus'' quintuplets celebrity impersonators -- who are also transforming superheroes -- fight against dinosaur gangsters and mob bosses. How come nobody remembers this?
15	* As noted by Malory, ''{{WesternAnimation/Archer}}'' features Ray Gilette, a crippled gay hillbilly spy
16	-->'''Ray''': To reiterate, I am paralyzed!
17	-->'''Cyril''': Well, join a support group.
18	-->'''Malory''': For who? Crippled gay hillbilly spies? There's a niche.
19	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'' sees Joey and AP fight a Pterodactyl-Ninja-Knight created by a time travel vortex.
20	* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. All animals in the fictional setting are the combination of two or more real life animals; e.g., bat-wolves, platypus-bears, duck-turtles. The king of the Earth Kingdom is holding a party in honour of his pet bear, Bosco, and sends out invitations, the main characters, when reading the invitation, ask whether it's a string of bear hybrids. When they are told it's just a simple plain bear, they find the concept 'just weird'.
21	* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'':
22	-->'''Plastic Man''': Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Because I'm seeing gorillas, riding pterodactyls... with harpoon guns... stealing a boat.
23	** The show also has a scene where Batman teams up with Vampire Batman, Cowboy Batman, Psychic Batman, Robot Batman, Gorilla Batman, and Space Batman. Words cannot describe how awesome it was.
24	** Later, we got Batman being chased by skiing ninjas with lasers.
25	* More scary than cool, but ''WesternAnimation/TheBatmanVsDracula'' has [[spoiler: [[https://rubberlotus.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/vampire-joker.jpg?w=451&h=253 Vampire Joker]]]], which is at least as disturbing as you would think. The fact that the character in question is voiced by [[ScaryBlackMan Kevin Michael Richardson]] adds some awesome, however.
26	* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' gives us Rath; an alien that looks like [[PantheraAwesome a tiger]], and [[WrestlerInAllOfUs fights and acts like a wrestler]].
27	* ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'': As the title implies, the three main characters are Martian mice who ride motorcycles. In addition, Modo has a robotic arm, which makes him a Martian biker mouse cyborg.
28	* ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'': Horned King is somewhere at the cross of [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon]], [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]], [[EvilSorcerer evil sorcerer]], TheConqueror and ImmortalitySeeker, and TheUndead in general. Sure, it's all in the same general vicinity, but sources just can't agree on what he ''is''. His horns and blazing {{red eyes\|TakeWarning}} make him look like a demon, but he looks like some sort of human undead (he is specifically referred to as a ''man'' during the movie, but nothing is ever done to try and explain the horns)… Spin-off material sometimes call him a "demon king", but Internet posited he was a lich, which he certainly looks like one, except that he doesn't have any visible phylactery. The whole thing was helped by two decisions: first, he's a CompositeCharacter of EvilSorcerer EvilOverlord BigBad Arawn from the original novel, and the original Horned King, a very living TheConqueror. However, the latter was wearing a skull-like mask, which the Disney studios made into a ''real'' SkullForAHead, starting the notion that he is an undead.
29	* ''The Bots Master'' had cookbots, sports bots, and yes, a ninja bot.
30	* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': the KND once had to face an A.D.U.L.T in a 10 foot-tall, heavily armored mechanized suit with guns, missiles, and two ''flaming'' chainsaws.
31	* The very first MonsterOfTheWeek from ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' was "WesternAnimation/TheChickenFromOuterSpace", who was obviously an Alien Chicken. In a later episode, he somehow returns BackFromTheDead, and has now become a roasted chicken without a head; so he's a [[LosingYourHead Headless]] [[NonhumanUndead Zombie]] [[IntelligentGerbil Alien]] [[FeatheredFiend Chicken]]. He also has some offspring, known only as the "Son of the Chicken From Outer Space", who also happens to be a trio of [[ConjoinedTwins Conjoined Triplets]]; which would make them a [[MultipleHeadCase Three-Headed]] [[IntelligentGerbil Alien]] [[FeatheredFiend Chicken]]!
32	* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' used this in the ShowWithinAShow[=/=]ThreeShorts companion, ''The Justice Friends'', combining hard rock legend Eddie Music/VanHalen with ComicBook/TheMightyThor to create "Val Hallen, the Viking God of Rock." Easily the coolest super hero in history, except possibly "Monkey" the superpowered monkey from the same show.
33	* ''WesternAnimation/DinoRiders'': Two races of aliens fighting with high-tech weapons while riding dinosaurs!
34	%% * The ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain''
35	* In "Monster Bash Surprise" from ''WesternAnimation/EsmeAndRoy'', Fig is originally dressed up as a star for a costume party, but after seeing other costumes, suddenly can't choose what costume she wants to wear. She eventually ends up combining elements of several costumes, including the original star, a ballerina, a firefighter, a superhero and a witch.
36	* ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'' cartoon had the villainous minions Scared Stiff and Long John Scarechrome. The former is a robot ghost that resembles a skeleton and the latter is a technology-themed ghost pirate from the future.
37	* Hilariously parodied in the ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' episode "[[Recap/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriendsS3E11OneFalseMovie One False Movie]]", with Bloo's ridiculously over the top contest film T-Rexatron Alienwolf 3: A Prequel in Time: The Unrelenting.
38	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Freaktown}}'' has a recurring character named Wereshark, a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]] who is also ''[[ThreateningShark a great white shark]]''.
39	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
40	** Ford [=ThunderCougarFalconBird=].
41	** REAL HOLOGRAPHIC SIMULATED EVIL LINCOLN IS BAAAAAAAAAAACCKKK!!!!!
42	** And then there's also General Major Webelo Zapp Brannigan.
43	* Predictably, the show ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' contains gargoyles, including samurai gargoyles and gargoyle-bots. The undisputed winner, however, is Coldstone, an undead cyborg gargoyle. An undead cyborg gargoyle with three souls in one body! Souls which, incidentally, have a SiblingTriangle. Also the Mutates, who are human-cat-bat-eel hybrid mutants designed to look like gargoyles.
44	* ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeRenegades'': They start with [[BlobMonster Bio-Vipers]], then we get [[PoweredArmor mech-suits]], so it was inevitable they would create ''Mech-Vipers''.
45	* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'':
46	** Hoss Delgado, Spectral Exterminator, who is a cross between Ash from ''Franchise/EvilDead'' and Snake Plissken. He had an artificial hand whose main function is a ''[[ChainsawGood chainsaw shooting]] crossbow''.
47	** Irwin, who's 1/2 mummy, 1/4 vampire, and 22/7 nerd, which is a result of having Dracula as a grandfather, a dhampyr as a father, and a mummy as a mother.
48	** The GrandFinale movie, "Wrath of the Spider Queen," has the title character, a half-woman, half-spider alien who was born on Spider Planet in Galaxy Omega 9, but currently resides in the Underworld. But then, the FinalBoss turns out to be even weirder, as he's a [[spoiler:half-spider, half-''bull'' [[WarGod god of anger]] from the same planet, [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoned in a milk carton]]]].
49	* Played with in the ''WesternAnimation/HotWheelsBattleForce5'' episode, "Battleship 5", prior to some butt-kicking:
50	-->'''Zoom:''' Hey, let's play Pirate! NINJA STYLE!
51	** And also parodied in a [[ComicBook/TheSimpsons ''Simpsons'']] comic book as "Mutant Nunchuk Sewer Frogs".
52	* The ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' episode "Zim Eats Waffles" features a flesh-eating robot demon squid that summons an army of cyborg zombie soldiers. Other episodes have mention of similar things, for example laser weasels and a mongoose dog (although the latter was courtesy of the series CloudCuckooLander).
53	* [[BigBad Shendu]] from ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' is a {{Draconic\|Humanoid}} [[DragonsAreDemonic Demon]] [[EvilSorcerer Sorcerer]]. For most of the 2nd and 3rd seasons, Shendu is also an [[NonhumanUndead undead]] [[OurSpiritsAreDifferent spirit]], which would make him a [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Ghostly]] [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragon]] [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demon]] [[EvilSorcerer Sorcerer]] as well. And that doesn't even scratch the surface with [[OurDemonsAreDifferent other demonic creatures]] in this show, which includes Shendu's family; his son, brothers, and sisters all look rather different, some being a NinjaPirateZombieRobot in their own right. ''Especially'' his son Drago [[spoiler:after he absorbs the powers of all his uncles and aunts, turning into a freaky HybridMonster in the process]].
54	* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'':
55	** Among Heloise's inventions are giant robot clowns and a cyborg GiantSpider.
56	** There was also the episode "Snowrilla" which features Jimmy and Beey meeting the titular creature: A [[MultipleHeadCase two-headed]] yeti that snowboards (though he talks like a SurferDude).
57	* ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'': Zartan's henchman, Scorpio, in "The Monolith Man", who was a fat {{cyborg}} {{mummy}}.
58	* A minor case in ''WesternAnimation/JuliusJr'': In the episode "Dressed for Spook-cess", Sheree's Halloween costume is a "Pirate-Robot-Fairy".
59	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'':
60	** The episode "Figurines" has Stumpy try to play a game with a bunch of figurines called "ninja terrorists".
61	** In Episode 219, Kaeloo, Stumpy, Quack-Quack, Mr. Cat, and Cramoisie play a game called "zompires" (a mix of zombies and vampires) that was invented by Stumpy. The zompires have slow bumbling movements like zombies, and like vampires, they levitate and burn in the sun.
62	* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
63	** Monkey ninjas, and Mystical Monkey Powers. Really, monkeys are awesome.
64	** And in one of the video games, ''robot monkey ninjas.''
65	*** One episode went out of its way to invoke this with "Monkey Ninjas InSpace". (The best thing about it was the title.) In a later episode, a director independently tries to use it as a movie idea, only to be shut down with a "been there, done that" reaction.
66	** The Samurai Gorillas from "Gorilla Fist".
67	** Sumo Ninja.
68	* Captain Metalbeard from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' is a {{Cyborg}} {{Pirate}} TransformingMecha with {{Arm Cannon}}s and a Shark arm. He pretty much runs on the RuleOfCool.
69	* ''WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan'': The Man-Wolf episode. [[spoiler:The crystal affects the guest hero at the climax, so Spidey and friends have to deal with a [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk-Wolf]].]]
70	* The ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'' series featured many unique robots, including some mentioned on the NinjaPirateZombieRobot/VideoGames page, but "[[http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/rah/megaman/2-5/ Night of the Living Monster Bots]]" deserves special recognition.
71	* ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'' features ''another'' example of zombie robots in the episode "Junk in the Trunk." Guess no combination is truly ''impossible.''
72	* {{Discussed\|Trope}} in ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw,'' about a ShowWithinAShow based on ''Franchise/DoctorWho.''
73	-->'''Melissa:''' How can he be a {{TimeTravel}}er, ''and'' [[HumanAliens an alien]], ''and'' a cyborg?
74	** The show also includes Time Ape, a "trans-chronological being" who looks like an ape with a clock for a head [[spoiler:and is the above-mentioned time-traveling alien cyborg's brother, somehow]].
75	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipisMagic'': The Changelings are [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Insectoid]] [[WingedUnicorn Alicorn]] [[SuccubiAndIncubi Succubi]], King Sombra is a LivingShadow [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demon]] {{Unicorn}}, and Tirek is a [[OurCentaursAreDifferent Centaur]] [[KillerGorilla Ape]] [[BigRedDevil Devil]].
76	* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'' had one episode where the heroes had to deal with a gang of horse thieves. They weren't called that for stealing horses but for being thieves ''and'' horses.
77	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'':
78	** In "Him Diddle Riddle", HIM threatens to dump Ms. Keane into "this vat of boiling ''sharks''" if the girls can't solve one of his challenges in time.
79	** One episode featured Abracadaver, the zombie magician, as a MonsterOfTheWeek.
80	** In "Imaginary Fiend", the Girls think up their own imaginary friend to fight Mike Believe's mischievous NotSoImaginaryFriend Patches. After a bit of debate, the girls pool their ideas together (Buttercup wants it to be strong and tough, Blossom wants it to be smart, and Bubbles wants it to be cute) and come up with a GeniusBruiser anthropomorphic bunny in a floral-print dress and combat boots.
81	* The titular ''WesternAnimation/RainbowButterflyUnicornKitty'', who can [[MultiformBalance change into any of the former three]] at any given time.
82	* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', one game crashed, and the User loaded another game on top of it, resulting in a mishmash of a dinosaur adventure and a military game, notably including Pterodactyl jets and a Tankasaurus Rex.
83	* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': Abradolf Lincler - combination of Abraham Lincoln and Adolf Hitler.
84	* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'': "Space pirate monkey! From Pluto!"
85	* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'':
86	** Aku is {{Satan}}, an EvilOverlord, a GodEmperor, a GalacticConqueror, a SorcerousOverlord, ''and'' TheDon rolled up into one.
87	** As part of the ScienceFantasy AnachronismStew setting of the show, the various enemies Jack faces throughout the series include things like robot vikings on ship-shaped tanks and alien monkey bounty hunters.
88	* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'' featured ghosts of a Yeti, Mr. Hyde, and a werewolf.
89	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
90	** Mentioned when Homer stood up against Mr. Burns:
91	--->'''Mr. Burns''': I suggest you leave immediately.\
92	'''Homer''': Or what? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Or the dogs with bees in their mouths]], and when they bark they shoot bees at you?[[note]]These are possible to create in ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'' and ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening'' -- it just needs 3 dots of Life magic and a normal dog, or 5 if you have to make the dog too.[[/note]]
93	** In a deleted scene, Burns goes on to sic a ''robotic Richard Simmons'' on Homer.
94	** In a film of "[=McBain=]", the titular hero comes under attack by "CommieNazis" flying planes with an insignia which features the Nazi Swastika and the Soviet Hammer and Sickle on top of each other.
95	** In "Future-Drama," the future has several {{Forbidden Zone}}s. One has flying, man-eating [[MixAndMatchCritters uni-clams]] guarding Burns' manor.
96	** Poochie from Itchy and Scratchy is intended to be this, as he introduces himself as being "half Joe Camel and a third Fonzarelli, I'm a kung-fu hippie, from gangsta city, I'm a rappin' surfer." Also Creator/MrT. ("You the fool I pity.") However, he's actually a very unpopular character because of this, and annoys the viewers, the former {{Trope Namer\|s}} for The Poochie (now ShooOutTheNewGuy).
97	* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
98	** There was a fabled discussion (among the members of Music/{{KORN}}) over whether [[GhostPirate the apparitions of the episode]] were pirates who died and became ghosts, or ghosts who died and became pirates.
99	** In one of the episode commentaries, an idea for an episode was mentioned involving a zombie werpechaun, or a leprechaun that was bit by a vampire and a werewolf who then died and came back as a zombie.
100	** One news report was given by a midget in a bikini. Another was given by a Japanese man who looked kind of like Creator/RicardoMontalban.
101	** Manbearpig. [[TooManyHalves Half man. Half bear.... Half pig.]] No, it's actually half man, half bear-pig. (Or is that half pig, half bear-man?)
102	** The "[[WizardsFromOuterSpace wizard alien]]" from "Sexual Healing." In this episode, the American government is trying to figure out what caused the "recent" trend of successful men having affairs with lots of women. Instead of just admitting that this kind of thing has happened throughout history and that most men have similar urges, the government [[NeverMyFault blames it on a wizard alien living in Independence Hall]]. [[spoiler:When a soldier calls BS on this, the other soldiers take him away, dress him up as a wizard alien, and have Kyle and Butters shoot him dead.]]
103	** But all this pales in comparison to "Imaginationland", a mythical realm where ''every'' fictional character ever created in history lives together in some sort of Toontown on steroids. Their "Council of Nine" alone includes [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]], Morpheus from ''Film/TheMatrix'', Franchise/WonderWoman and ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}. And where else could you see [[BadassSanta Santa Claus]] slaughtering [[Literature/PeterPan Captain Hook]]?
104	* ''WesternAnimation/SpeedRacerTheNextGeneration'' turns Chim-Chim into a ROBOT MONKEY. Read that again.
105	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', in "The Idiot Box", mentions Robot Pirate Island, and Squidward wants to arm wrestle with cowboys on the moon. Sadly, Robot Pirate Island turns out to be an island where robots fight pirates, not an island full of robot pirates, making it instead an example of [[CoolVersusAwesome a related trope.]]
106	* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'':
107	** There's an episode that has three Jedi and a bunch of clone troopers fight alien bug warriors who are also zombies.
108	** The series introduced [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Cad_Bane Cad Bane]], an alien-cyborg-cowboy-bounty hunter.
109	* Most of the combat in ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'' is swordfighting done on flying motorcycle-biplane hybrids.
110	* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The title says it all]]: ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperForceGo!''
111	* ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' combined {{Talking Animal}}s, Franchise/IndianaJones-styled adventures, dogfighting, ScrewballComedy, and exercises in FilmNoir, Film/HammerHorror, [[ZanyScheme zany schemes gone awry]], and even its fair share of drama along the way, featuring characters from ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'' fighting [[SkyPirate Air Pirates]].
112	* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''
113	* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' started with perfectly normal giant alien TransformingMecha, but it escalated fast, with [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cannonball pirate robots]], [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nightbird_(G1) ninja robots]], and [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Zombie zombie robots]]. It seems MechanicalLifeforms ''can'' in fact become undead enough to qualify as zombies. This trope is [[MerchandiseDriven almost]] Transformers' ''raison d'etre''.
114	** The ''Dinobots'' were the first example of escalation - [[DinosaursAreDragons Fire-breathing]] TransformingMecha robot dinosaurs.
115	** ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'', which is about [[{{Zeerust}} 80s-Futuristic]] TransformingMecha with [[HornyVikings Viking-Helmet-Heads]] fighting Robot-Squids of two different kinds (and members of one kind of Robot-Squid have ''five faces each'') has Unicron, a Robot Satan.
116	** Primus, Unicron's Good Counterpart and the Transformers' creator in-fiction. TransformingMecha PhysicalGod Planet-sized RealityWarper robot loaded with MoreDakka that's all {{BFG}}s and {{Hand Cannon}}s and ''also'' turns into a planet, [[Anime/TransformersCybertron once seen]] DualWielding ''moons'' as {{Epic Flail}}s and also [[Awesome/{{Transformers}} once seen using a]] CoolStarship as a WaveMotionGun to close an [[OmnicidalManiac Omnicidal]] [[UnrealisticBlackHole Magic Black Hole]].
117	** Bludgeon, from G1 and the ''[[Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline, is a DualWielding DemBones Samurai Robot.
118	*** His MirrorUniverse counterpart, however, is a ''cowboy tank''.
119	*** A design for an ''Animated'' incarnation of the character (intended for the unproduced 4th season) made him a ''pirate'' robot tank with an undead motif.
120	** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' doesn't disappoint when messing with the RuleOfCool:
121	*** Prowl - a Robot-Ninja. He's a FriendToAllLivingThings, an alien, has CoolShades, and his transformation is a cop's motorcycle. He has been a medic, a BountyHunter, a zombie, a Samurai, psychic, almost dead, a ghost in the machine, on the moon, can use an ImprovisedWeapon, and ended his career as an actual ghost.
122	*** Lockdown - his Robot-Pirate rival. He's a full-time bounty hunter, he collects trophies of his captures, his alt mode is a huge muscle car that's a mashup between a '60s Cougar and an '80s Corvette, he has what a human would call tattoos, a hook, a chainsaw, his own spaceship, and has worn a robot sized poncho. On the moon. He seems to also gain new abilities every time we see him -- but then, he is a sucker for upgrades. He was designed to look a little like an undertaker with a skull for a head.
123	*** Lockdown is probably the closest literal use of this trope you can get. He trained as a ninja, has the whole pirate bounty-hunter theme going on, [[{{Squick}} attaches robot corpse parts to himself]], thus being part zombie, and is a robot.
124	** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' inevitably brings its own combos:
125	*** The new, [[MadeOfExplodium even explodier]] incarnation of Wheeljack, a SamuraiCowboy Robot who specialises in dual katana and grenades. As if that weren't enough, he's also an AcePilot -- by virtue of shooting down 'cons while ''flying'' his spaceship, rather than just ''being'' a spaceship.
126	*** ''Transformers Prime'' is the first ''Transformers'' continuity to use genuine Robot Zombies, not just some form of mind control. So I guess that's the complete set then?
127	*** ''Transformers Prime'' manages to kick things up another notch in the movie: [[DracoLich Undead Dragons]] that are TransformingMecha from Outer Space.
128	** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise2015'' proves that Transformers hasn't gone all the way yet. It doesn't just have everybody's favourite fire-breathing robot dinosaur (who is also being ridden by Optimus Prime in the style of a medieval knight with a gun-sword half the size of his body). And robots with trenchcoats and robot samurais and robot ninjas. Almost all of the Decepticons are now Predacons, their mech forms based on animals that range from Robot Wolves, to Robot Crabs and Moose. And it's not subtle like ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' - they often have a vehicle mode on top of their mech forms.
129	* At some point in the '90s, there was a CG show called ''Series/VanPires''. In this show, the protagonists would fuse with various vehicles to combat other vehicles who turned into giant robots who woke up after dark drained normal vehicles of fuel (the Vanpires in question). They did every Saturday morning cliche in the book, but... man, mid-'90s CG cyborg car robot vampire hunters!
130	* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'':
131	** In the episode "Eeny Meeny Miney... Magic!", Brock Samson's [[LotusEaterMachine Joy Can]] vision includes ninjas raining from the sky, cowboys with flamethrowers riding Tyrannosaurs, [[BearsAreBadNews polar bears]] on [[BadassBiker motorcycles]], and SCUBA divers with machine guns. And he has to fight them all. And he kills them all, winding up on a mountain of ninja/cowboy/dinosaur/bear corpses.
132	** In the episode "Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny", the Monarch narrates one of his early attacks on the Venture compound, attributing his failure to Venture's "army of ex-navy seal cyborg ninja witches". The simultaneous flashback shows, however, that he was defeated by Venture's lone bodyguard Myra. Helper helped too...
133	---> "These guys like their system. It's what they do. You take that away and you are looking at a bunch of pissed off nutbags with ray-guns and giant... I dunno, a giant octopus/tank with laser-eyes"
134	** Fakeout: "Hey, it's that ghost pirate! Who's not a ghost. Or even a pirate, really."
135	** Then there's the time Brock had to fight those Vatican karate gorillas...
