T-1000 is a nice example of the trope, but the image depicts him going to pieces, not pulling himself back together.

I think this would benefit from a multi panel picture.

It is from Hellboy II: The Golden Army, the "soldiers" put themselves back together when chopped up... was hoping for a frame where there is more than one, in different states of "back together", but no such frame. I like to avoid comic strips :P It can be done!

The t-1000 reforming might do be a good picture, multiple shots of the droplets combining and one of him raising from the floor.

[up] That, and possibly combined with shots of his head being blown in half during the prison escape and then coming back together.

Shame animated GIF's aren't allowed any more, this would be a good use for one.

So far, we only have three different suggestion ideas. Anyone else?

This has always been my favorite example of this trope, from Don Martin's Captain Klutz:

Yeah. Sewing her arm on, while not in the general spirit of the trope, should be a nice visual representation of what happens.

Made a crowner.

Vote away, folks. And feel free to add new images.

Aokiji has a big lead right now, but we should probably wait for more votes/image suggestions, I'm assuming.

There's got to be a better pick of Aokiji doing what he's doing, the one that's on the crowner right now is terrible and has no context.

Well, even without context, you can tell that he's reforming. From what, it's hard to tell, but you can tell that he's Pulling Himself Together.

New suggestion: Captain Marvel. No, not him. No, not the other one either. The crappy one whose body parts flew off whenever he said "SPLIT!" and reattached upon saying "XAM!":

Edit: Dangit, I've gotta learn to read trope descriptions first. This probably isn't an example for this trope, but for Detachment Combat (and he's even the image there!)

Seems like the image pickin tag on the main article has gone missing.

Maybe a picture of Waspinator reassembling in either Beast Wars or Animated?

I remember one instance in Fullmetal Alchemist, of Gluttony getting sliced clean in two vertically, then putting the two sides of his head back together, as shown here. (last two panels of that page, top panel of the next)
