From seven participants...
It's now down to two.
I present to you the winning combiners in the first ever Erwin Imagin Fourze's Unofficial Foldabots Art Contest!
On this blog well take a look on a work by James Edward Salazar.
GIYERABOTS
Built to serve and protect, these Foldabots dedicate themselves in defending our beloved land. They used to be military vehicles of our army and now they are here to stop destruction no matter the cost. Starting the set, we have PUTOK. Now, Putok is a light tank packed with a lot of power. His rival is Haltak of the Gunawbots--their biggest problem.

Cut out the patterns by following the RED lines and fold all BROKEN lines.
1. Glue the MAIN BODY to itself.
2. Glue TOP SLEEVES and ARM SLEEVE each to itself, then glue them onto the MAIN BODY. (Top sleeves are the ones with the green rectangle in it.)
3. Glue TIRES, BACK, and MISSILE onto the MAIN BODY.
4. Glue RIGHT ARM onto the MAIN BODY.
5. For the turret/left arm, glue the GUN to itself but leaving the end tabs unglued, then glue this onto the LEFT ARM.
Note: Cut out the part on the lower right corner and save this piece for Bantay.
Moving on, we have PASAN. He's an infantry transporter truck that carries soldiers to the battlefield. Originally he's named PICK-UP, but I decided to rename him because it's a rejected name to me. His rival is Giba.

Cut out the patterns by following the RED lines and fold all BROKEN lines.
1. Glue the MAIN BODY to itself.
2. Glue BACK SLEEVE and ROOF each to itself, then glue them onto the MAIN BODY. (Back sleeve should be glued on the back of Pasan.
3. Glue TIRES and REAR onto the MAIN BODY.
4. Glue the ARMS onto the MAIN BODY.
5. For the left launcher, glue the LAUNCHER to itself, then glue the MISSILE and BACK TAB onto the LAUNCHER. (The back tab should be in the part where the opening is, this will be placed on Giyeratron's left shoulder, and don't forget to save this part for later!)
Our next Giyerabot is SIGAW, the heavy artillery tank that can blast even the biggest of tanks. He maybe small, but he always makes the Giyerabots' War Cry "GIYERAHAAAAAN!" His original name is EXPLOSIYON, and just like the last one before, I changed the name to make it better. His rival is Basag.

And now to the head honcho of the Giyerabots--BANTAY. He is a bunker tank where the soldiers he carries shoots from the inside. He is also called "The Mobile Fortress." His rival is Tibag.

6. Glue the RADAR PIN to itself by gluing only the triangle parts.
7. Glue RADAR PIN onto RADAR DISH, then glue RADAR DISH onto RADAR BASE, and finally, glue the RADAR BASE onto the ROOF. (The black part is for the radar dish, while the white part of the radar base is for the roof.)
Alright, without further a due, let's get into the main event! GIYERATRON is a siege specialist and a total powerhouse. He's equipped with two missile launchers ready to shoot down hostile Lutabots especially the destroyer Gunawtron.

PUTOK from light tank mode/SIGAW from heavy artillery tank: Open the front tab to pull out the missile for Putok and claws for Sigaw. Then, open the rear tab and pull out the T-connector, close the tab back. Insert them onto Bantay's left shoulder for Putok and right shoulder for Sigaw.
PASAN from infantry transporter truck/DALA from mobile armory vehicle: Open out the front tab to form a foot, then insert Bantay's left rear tab onto the back sleeve of Pasan and Bantay's right rear tab onto the back sleeve of Dala.
BANTAY from Foldabot mode: Tuck both arms to their respective sleeves, attach the launcher parts onto Bantay's shoulder, then place Giyeratron's head onto Bantay.
Extra Gimmicks: The turrets are interchangeable, and the launcher parts can be stored onto Pasan and Dala or use them as turrets for Putok and Sigaw.
Last time we looked at the other winning entry done by Lester Bernaldez named "GUNAWTRON"
