Magnaboss is a combiner consisting of three Transformers.

In the U.S. Beast Wars line of toys, Magnaboss is a Maximal formed from Ironhide (an elephant), Prowl (a lion), and Silverbolt (an eagle). This character did not appear in the cartoon series, though as his counterpart Tripredacus did appear (as the Predacon ruling council), many fans believe that Magnaboss is the 'Maximal Elders' that are oft-mentioned in the show.

Function: Combat Leader

Bio: A new breed of super robot blasts its way to the head of the Maximal battle lines with three times the fighting force! Prowl's ferocity, Silverbolt's swiftness, and Ironhide's strength team up to form Magnaboss - a triple-power threat capable of annihilating any Predacon enemy, even the ultra combative Tripredacus. Magnaboss owns the battlefield, arming itself with a massive megaton battle sword composed of Silverbolt's razor-tipped wing swords and Ironhide's blunt-force battle clubs mounted on Prowl's cyber tail claw. If two heads are better than one, Magnaboss is way ahead of that game... times three!

[edit] Beast Wars II

In the Japanese Beast Wars II series, Magnaboss is a Cybertron (Maximal) formed from LioJunior (Prowl) (His Courage - lion), Santon (Ironhide) (His Kindness - elephant), and Skywarp (Silverbolt) (His Intelligence - eagle), Magnaboss can harness the Amogolois energy in the form of a burning, sustained ball of power used as a weapon, similar to LioConvoy. He can also use Skywarp's Missiles. The weapons of all three can combine to form Magnablade.

[edit] Transformers: Universe

Although there was no toy of Magnaboss in the Transformers: Universe toy line, the character appeared in the Transformers: Universe comic book. In issue #3 he was portrayed as head of the Maximal High Council.
