Combining Mecha tend to combine in a humanoid form. It's easier for people to follow, and it's easier for the guys to get fitting rubber suits. When mecha combine, the parts will more or less match up with limbs, and it doesn't really matter what goes where. Except when it does. The "face" and/or torso are special parts of the combined form. They're the most identifiable, and they're generally where the cockpit is. It's why we have special importance for the locations of our brain and heart. So with mecha, the part that is most important will be formed by the personal mecha of the most important character, generally The Leader, The Hero, or a spotlight stealing variety of Sixth Ranger. Because the position is special but can only be handed to one, expect Headbutting Heroes or Vitriolic Best Buds to compete for the lead position. At this trope's strongest, the mecha of this special character can be humanoid on its own, and the others will form a larger body by way of a Mecha Expansion Pack, thus an overlap with Meta Mecha. At its strangest, they don't form the head, but it gets double subverted by having the part that does look suspiciously matching to their mecha. Because Red Is Heroic, this leads to a lot of ensemble mechas being a bit red in the face. Also, compare the color patterns on an All Your Colors Combined attack. The main character's color illogically in the middle? This will probably be in effect when the robots show up. |

Avataro Sentai Donbrothers: Don Zenkaioh is composed of one Zord belonging to the Red Ranger, and one Zord on loan from the Red Ranger of the previous team, Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger. The rest of the Donbrothers don't even have Zords of their own for some time. | |

Megas XLR As expected, the show parodies this. The Glorft's UMD is a combining mecha made from other combining mecha, repeated for a couple of cycles. At its final stage, It is completed by Gorrath's personal mech docking in the center. Without Gorrath's part, it doesn't seem to be useable at all, enforced when he leaves the battlefield, and the dozens to hundreds of mechs and pilots that also made up the UMD. Gorrath having a Never My Fault mentality, all of this to be expected. In Sentai parody episode "The Bad Guy", the "S-Force Super Ultra Dimensional Magno Extreme Robotoid Power Zorp" is equal parts Voltron (combining) and Super Sentai (theme), with the Red Falcon at the head. Later, Coop literally forms a new mecha by sliding/smashing Megas' limbs into their robots and slapping the bird on his back. When in fights, it becomes noticeable how uncomfortable it would be to be in a limb. The actual episode's bad guy finds this treatment disrespectful to his nemeses, and of course loves it. |

Avataro Sentai DonBrothers has a similar setup for ToraDragonJin, but in this case it's the outer Zord that's dominant. It represents the Sixth Ranger's primary dragon theme, while the tiger Zord strapped in the center reflects his secondary theme and isn't portrayed as the dragon's pilot, but its captive. | |

Digimon goes all over the place with this trope in its Fusion Dances - Omegamon, the first identifiable example, has a unique head unrelated to its components, as does Susanoomon. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Imperialdramon's head is pretty distinctly based on that of V-mon, the Bond Creature of The Hero; its contemporaries Silphymon and Shakkoumon are both of the unique head variety. The big Combining Mecha example, Digimon Fusion, is also all over the place - on most of Shoutmon's Combining Mecha forms, the head is a unique one which sometimes comes from Shoutmon but is not obviously connected to him design-wise;note X3's head resembles no one but Omegamon who is already dead, while X5's head can be seen as part of Sparrowmon when separate. on others, like Shoutmon DX, he is distinctly the head. It is however consistent that Shoutmon's V-shaped head crest always becomes the chest piece of the Shoutmon X series, and even during the DigiXros sequences we can see his head "merging" into the chest to form that V crest. |

Played with in the Dungeons & Dragons Online raid, "The Chronoscope." Player characters get a bit of time travel to an earlier version of the city of Stormreach, back when it's invaded by devils from another plane. After your party lays the smackdown against five flying Abishi demons at end-game (each with an elemental mastery), they retreat and take to the air to regroup. Each demon describes their contributing attack. The last, black in color, says "And I'll form the head!" as they magically combine into a nasty dragon-like demon. | |

Subverted in one episode of Teen Titans Go! involving a giant Mecha. Robin expects, as leader, that he will be controlling the head. Only to be told by Cyborg (y'know, the guy who created the giant robot and knows how it works) that Robin is to control the left leg. The Boy Wonder is not happy, and the episode has him learning to accept the position. | |

Played with in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Supporting Leader Kamina makes Simon's Ganmen the (second) head. All along, Kamina had been setting Simon up to be a true hero. However, as Kamina was still the leader at this point, his ganmen forms everything but the head of the combined ganmen, has its own head on its torso, and the combined ganmen has his trademark sunglasses on both faces. Simon, The Hero, takes the head position in his mini-mech, while the torso is taken by his Lancer, whoever that is at the time. In larger combinations, when Lagann takes over a larger mech such as the Dai-Gunzen or the Cathedral Terra, his original mech is always located within the head of the resulting gigantic mech. |

Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger/Power Rangers: Dino Thunder: Red's Tyrannosaurus Zord makes up most of Abarenoh/the Thundersaurus Megazord, with Blue providing an arm, and Yellow giving the chestplate and helmet. It was even shown once that Red and Blue could combine without Yellow, though the result wouldn't be as strong. | |

As seen in the page quote, this was parodied by MC Frontalot in a song entitled (naturally) I'll Form The Head, in which Turquoise and "Lightish Red" argue why they should be the ones to form the head: Pink because he's the most qualified and Turquoise for... other reasons. Gold actually offers them turns later, as long as they get the current job done. They don't. | |

Played straight in the later IDW comics. Following Scrapper's death in the aftermath of Transformers: All Hail Megatron, Devastator was eventually modified so that that Hook (the former head) took his place as the right leg while a Brainwashed and Crazy Prowl took over as the head (while it was possible for Devastator to form even with Scrapper dead, the resulting combiner was not as powerful). After Prowl was removed from the team, Hook returned to being the head while newcomer Scoop (who also turned into a front-end loader) took Scrapper's place in time for Transformers: Combiner Wars. | |

Played with in the Rick and Morty episode Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion where the Sanchez Family(ies) starts getting hold of giant Combining Mechas across various universes. When the episode goes from a Mecha Anime parody to a gangster story, the position of each member in the Go-go-go-Tron mirrors their position in the Family's hierarchy, with the one Rick who started the business in the head's head. | |

Averted with the Mega Voyager from Power Rangers in Space, where Red formed the lower abdomen; the head came from the Black Zord and the torso was a combination of Blue and Yellow. Played straighter in Denji Sentai Megaranger, as Black was The Leader, even if the show didn't make it obvious. | |

Introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield, Falinks (which appears to be based on an ancient Roman legion) are formed of six entities that operate as a unit: five troopers and one 'brass'. The brass, the de facto leader, is the largest and most intelligent of the group, and issues orders to the others from the head of whatever formations they take. Falinks are most often found in single file, and the brass always leads from the front. | |

Genesis of Aquarion used three fighter craft. Often the team would fight over whose craft would become the central head-body leader. Same with the sequel. That being said although both main characters formed the most powerful and most used form, neither of them were the team leader. That is Gen/Zen Fudo, who calls the shots on who deploys and who forms what version of the Aquarion's. In Evol main character Amata isn't even the highest ranking pilot, and would often find himself under the command of senior members Cayanne or Shrade. |

The Transformers: Robots in Disguise: Megatron altered Devastator so that he could be remotely controlled by the Insecticon Bombshell. When Bombshell is taken out of commission, he reveals that he can simply take control of the combiner by transforming into its head and replacing its current rage-driven head. Very bizarre example when Prowl, pro team leader of the Autobots after Optimus Prime stepped down (Bumblebee was allegedly in charge, but everyone followed Prowl's orders over his), is cerebro-shelled by the Insecticon Bombshell and forced to act as the head of Devastator, who had been believed permanently out of action ever since the Constructicons' former leader Scrapper was executed by humans after he had surrendered while injured. He later takes this role in a more willing capacity when he takes over the Constructicons following their defection from the Decepticons. |

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger/Power Rangers Ninja Steel has a unique variation, as Shurikenjin/the Ninja Steel Megazord is a Meta Mecha with a cockpit "throne" set in the chest that the Red Zord sits in. However, other Zords can sit in the throne instead in other combinations, in which case the Red Zord becomes an arm; one of these alternate formations features the Blue Zord front-and-center and the others are Mecha Expansion Packs. Avataro Sentai DonBrothers has a similar setup for ToraDragonJin, but in this case it's the outer Zord that's dominant. It represents the Sixth Ranger's primary dragon theme, while the tiger Zord strapped in the center reflects his secondary theme and isn't portrayed as the dragon's pilot, but its captive. |

In The Venture Bros., when JJ Venture's team spoofed Voltron with the "Ventronic." Complete with the "I form the " exclamations. The combined form had two heads, the one formed from JJ's robot, and the "left arm" clown head, shaped in a way to be recognizable and comfortable to its pilot, Sally Impossible's mentally handicapped cousin Ned. Instead of just putting the clown head on top, they wound up with a stubby, useless arm, not too dissimilar to JJ himself. | |

This trope dates back to Getter Robo, the first Combining Mecha, where each of the Getter Machines' combined forms were controlled primarily by the pilot of the upper body. Getter-1, the form belonging to group leader Ryouma Nagare, was the most commonly used form. | |

Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, Gosei Sentai Dairanger, and Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters/the first two seasons of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and Power Rangers: Beast Morphers all had combinations that completely excluded the Red Zord from the formation and had the rest of the team combine with a separate head/torso component. The first two (Goryujin/Dragonzord Battle Mode and Kiba Dai-Oh/Mega Tigerzord) were still straight examples, since the new piece belonged to the Sixth Ranger and gave them prominence; but Go-Buster LiOh and Go-Buster King/Beast-X King Megazord and Ultrazord from the latter are subversions since Red's replacement wasn't designated to any specific team member and nobody got the rights to "form the head". | |

The two teams of Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger both use a neutral Zord called the Good Striker to form the majority of their Megazord (Lupin Kaiser and Pat Kaiser, respectively). In both combinations, it's the Red Zord that forms the head and chestplate while the other two form the arms. The arrangement is similar when both teams come together to form Good Cool Kaiser VSX; the main Megazord is made of both Good Striker and the Zord of the Sixth Ranger (who is a member of both teams), while the Reds share the "head" role by one making the helmet and the other the chestplate (meanwhile, the other Rangers attach themselves to the arms and feet). | |

Combattler V plays the trope straight. The Leader forms the head, The Lancer is the chest and arms, The Big Guy is the rest of the torso, The Heart forms the legs, and The Smart Guy makes up the feet. Cut from the same cloth so to speak, this trope also applies to Voltes V. |

In The Beast Within comic, G1's Dinobots force a combiner out of themselves, Beast, which is intentionally poorly designed, with everyone else just grafted on to Grimlock's beast mode form. This, however, is a Toyless Toyline Character that only exists in a one-off microcontinuity. The Power of the Primes toyline introduced a mainstream Dinobot combiner, Volcanicus, which forms like a more traditional combiner, and is not a completely insane murder machine like the Beast. The Legacy version of Volcanicus averts this with the head being formed by Slug rather than Grimlock, even though the gestalt's head has always been based on the Dinobot leader's. | |

In Sentai parody episode "The Bad Guy", the "S-Force Super Ultra Dimensional Magno Extreme Robotoid Power Zorp" is equal parts Voltron (combining) and Super Sentai (theme), with the Red Falcon at the head. Later, Coop literally forms a new mecha by sliding/smashing Megas' limbs into their robots and slapping the bird on his back. When in fights, it becomes noticeable how uncomfortable it would be to be in a limb. The actual episode's bad guy finds this treatment disrespectful to his nemeses, and of course loves it. | |

Averted in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger. Team leader Zenkaizer (a White Ranger in this case) doesn't have a Zord of his own at the beginning and instead pilots combinations formed by the other Rangers. These combinations are split exactly down the middle and no Ranger is featured more than another. Even when he gets his own Zord form, he can only combine with the others by making his own half of the formation (a slightly more elaborate half, but half nonetheless). It's only in the last third of the show where he gets a new Zord that finally plays things straight, forming the head and chest while the others make the arms and legs. | |

Taken to its logical conclusion in the Grand Finale of Generator Rex. Black Knight, who acts as the leader of the Consortium, not only forms the head but the entire body of the Humongous Mecha is based on her design. This is justified because she has the power to create the Mecha in the first place but needs everyone else to actually form it. | |

Beast Wars Magnaboss has Prowl, the lion (whole bunch of leader archetype imagery there) form the face and center of the torso. Silverbolt, a horribly out of scale eagle, wraps around prowl and forms the wings. Pretty much every other visible part, including the arms, legs, and rest of the torso, comes from Ironhide, a downsized elephant, to compensate for this. This results in Ironhide being rather confusingly built and prone to damage in his standalone form and Silverbolt being excessively simple. The same applied to the Beast Wars II version of the combiner. | |

Building on the previous example of using the trinkets as the heads, Goseiger/Megaforce takes things to a logical conclusion with the robotic Gosei Knight/Robo Knight himself transforming into a giant head and mounting himself on the body of his Zord. The Silver Ranger of Mashin Sentai Kiramager similarly becomes his own Megazord's headpiece via magical means. | |

Played with in Chouriki Sentai Ohranger/Power Rangers Zeo, as while the head of Ohranger Robo/the Zeo Megazord was made by the Red Zord, it wore interchangeable helmets: the Red Phoenix helmet would usually be on top, but when another team member had a feature episode, they'd take the lead and equip the robot with the helmet from their own Zord to finish off the enemy. Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger/Power Rangers Dino Fury has something similar, where KishiRyuuOh Three Knights/the Dino Fury Megazord has alternate forms for each of the five Rangers where they form the head and chestplate. | |

In Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger/Power Rangers Wild Force, Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, and Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, Zords have a standardized combination scheme where each Zord transforms into a specific body part (divided torso/arms/legs in Gaoranger/Wild Force, torso/midsection/feet in Zyuohger, and torso/limbs in Kyuranger) and can be freely exchanged with other Zords of the same part. Aside from the Zords of the Sixth Rangers, all the "torso" pieces belong to the Red Rangers, while the other Rangers hold other parts. | |

Chiro instead pilots the Torso Tank 1, which serves as the "heart" of the robot, as it's the main center of operations and is connected to all of the other combining vehicles. | |

Played with regarding both Megazords in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger and the third season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, as while the Red Ranger was The Hero as usual, he wasn't actually the team leader for once: Muteki Shogun/the Shogun Megazord had the Red Ranger form the head and torso, while the actual leaders were White Rangers who formed an arm. (And things got messy in Power Rangers since the White Zord was co-piloted by the Pink Ranger and the toy was recolored to match her — and these toys were used in some shots in the show, clashing badly with the existing Kakuranger footage and leaving the actual team leader's color out entirely.) Kakure Daishogun/the Ninja Megazord had the White Ranger form the head and Yellow Ranger form the torso, while Red was just an arm. A straight example of the trope in Kakuranger, but a total aversion in Power Rangers where the Pink Ranger took White's place. |

Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger/Power Rangers Dino Fury: Red makes a whole Megazord all by himself; and most combinations are just "Red with some extra bits of armor".

Voltron: Legendary Defender not only has the team leader forming the head of Voltron with the Black Lion, it highlights the symbolism of other team members forming Voltron's other parts: Hunk is disappointed that his Yellow Lion is merely Voltron's leg, but he's assured that it's an important role that provides stability for the team. When the Paladins later celebrate forming Voltron for the first time, Hunk shouts "I'm a leg!", which becomes a Running Gag. But in the next episode, when the Paladins are trying to figure out how to combine their Lions reliably, Hunk unconvincingly claims to have formed the head the last time they did it successfully. Despite specifically having said "I'm a leg". Season 3 emphasizes how the Red Lion is the right hand of Voltron, with its assigned pilots being the faithful Lancers to their respective team leaders. |

The other major aversion is the Dinoforce from Transformers Victory. Goryu, the leader tyrannosaurus forms the right leg while the cowardly triceratops Kakuryu forms the head. This is because the Dinoforce were based on the Pretender Monsters, with Goryu and Kakuryu being based on Icepick (the right leg) and Slog (the head) respectively. Played straight in Unite Warriors, wherein Kakuryu (who had pulled a Heel–Face Turn and became the Autobot Grimmaster) forms the torso and head of his own combiner (albeit using non-sentient drones). |

Parodied in the comic book crossover Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where the Turtles borrow the Rangers' powers and equipment, but they adopt the Ranger colors closest to their own without adjusting their team roles. This means that Raphael gets the Tyrannosaurus Zord because he's the Red Ranger, and ends up being the main pilot of the Megazord even though he's not the Turtles' leader... and also not particularly good at driving Humongous Mecha. | |

Barbaracle from Pokémon X and Y is a humanoid being made up of seven barnacles. Although its legs and hands have minds of their own and can move independently, they usually follow the head's orders. Introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield, Falinks (which appears to be based on an ancient Roman legion) are formed of six entities that operate as a unit: five troopers and one 'brass'. The brass, the de facto leader, is the largest and most intelligent of the group, and issues orders to the others from the head of whatever formations they take. Falinks are most often found in single file, and the brass always leads from the front. |

Voltron codified this for USA audiences along with many other Combining Mecha tropes; its Transformation Sequence (played, of course, Once an Episode) comes with a voice-over of the team leader ordering each step of the process, ending with "...AND I'LL FORM THE HEAD!" (Naturally, this was also played straight in the shows Voltron was adapted from, GoLion and Dairugger XV.) Played with in Voltron Force, where Voltron has different forms depending on which lion forms the torso and head. Voltron: Legendary Defender not only has the team leader forming the head of Voltron with the Black Lion, it highlights the symbolism of other team members forming Voltron's other parts: Hunk is disappointed that his Yellow Lion is merely Voltron's leg, but he's assured that it's an important role that provides stability for the team.

Gosei Sentai Dairanger/Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Season 2 plays the usual formation a little differently; rather than forming the torso and head of Dairen-oh/the Thunder Megazord, the Red Ranger gets his own transforming dragon/humanoid Zord and the other Rangers' Zords just form armor elements for it (though the completeness of the armor makes it still look like a true team formation, rather than "Red with enhancements"). | |

One episode of Dexter's Laboratory had Dexter and his family piloting vehicles that combined to form a giant robot. Dad tries to claim the head, as he is the "head" of the household, but Dexter complained to Mom (on the grounds that it was his robot) and got to keep the spot. Dad was miffed at first, but warmed up to controlling one of the arms since he used to pitch for his college's baseball team. | |
