Someone ought to work in the mecha term, in which several robots which combine into one and are called a gestalt.

Gestalt also pertains to creative composition. I learned the word while in art school.

the german word is highly complex and refers to all sorts of things. it is not just form or shape, but also means person (eine finstere Gestalt, a scary person)

[edit] MOS:DP compliance

I have updated this page to comply with the Manual of Style on disambiguation pages. Unfortunately, to do so, I had to remove some content present in the prior version. Disambiguation pages are navigational aids, not articles, and should contain no content not found in the articles referred to. Since Dungeons and Dragons, Red Dwarf, Anne McCaffrey, Theodore Sturgeon, and Transformers do not make any reference to "gestalt", I have removed the entries here. If you think these references are important, I'd invite you to add the information about gestalt to the other articles and relink them here. --TreyHarris 09:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transformers reference

I have removed the reference to gestalt as a fan-coined concept in Transformers (toyline). The word "gestalt" does not appear in any of the pages referenced. Disambiguation pages should not introduce any information not found in the article referenced; they are for navigation, not reference. --TreyHarris 04:55, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
