Fusion monsters have been around ever since the first Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG booster pack, Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, was released back in 2002. Since then, there have been an abundant amount of fusion monsters creating all kinds of different combinations, with some monsters finally getting the ability to fuse together long after they had been introduced.

But despite just how many different fusion monsters there are now, there are still many monsters that don't combine that still should, including monsters belonging to the same archetype as well as monsters longtime fans have expected to see combine for almost two decades.
10 Penguins
The Frog archetype has their own fusion, so it's about time Penguins got their chance to combine. Penguins did not officially start becoming an archetype until 2011 with the Generation Force booster pack, but the first Penguin cards introduced to the TCG were Penguin Knight and Penguin Soldier, whose effects laid the groundwork for the playstyle of the archetype.
A Penguin fusion could be a nod to the early start of the archetype by combining Penguin Knight and Penguin Soldier into a Penguin General, although similar to D.3.S. Frog it could be a fusion of any two Penguin monsters.
9 Kaiju
While the Kaiju archetype is mostly based on monsters from the Godzilla and Gamera films, Radian the Mulitidimensional Kaiju is based on Dark Lugiel from the Ultraman Ginga series. Many different Ultra series feature kaiju combining, so a Kaiju fusion would likely be a nod to that and specifically use Radian as one of the fusion material monsters, with the other being any other member of the archetype.
Since Kaiju decks focus on special summoning monsters and giving control of some of them to the opponent, Kaiju could have their own signature fusion spell card based on the devices used to combine kaiju in various Ultra series.
8 Goblins
Although Goblin Attack Force was first released in the 2002 Pharaoh's Servant booster pack, the Goblin archetype didn't start getting any real support until the New Challengers booster pack was released in 2014. Before that, most Goblin cards were unrelated besides being based on the same creatures.

Like Goblin Attack Force, a handful of members of the Goblin archetype aren't single individual monsters, but instead groups of them. A fusion could continue this trend by being an even larger group of Goblins becoming a Goblin Army or Goblin Legion, which could be a mixture of all the previously introduced groups of the archetype.
7 Wight Archetype
Skull Servant was known as one of the weakest monsters in the TCG until the Wight archetype was introduced starting with the Light of Destruction booster pack in 2008. Since several Wight cards are royalty or related to royalty in some way, with the King of Skull Servants being the most powerful, a potential fusion could continue that trend.
An Emperor Of Skull Servants could boost this archetype by increasing the attack and defense of all members on the field and could make them return from the dead any time they're destroyed.
6 Blue Flame Swordsman & Dark Magician
While the Dark Flare Knight, a fusion of the regular Flame Swordsman and the Dark Magician, does already exist, a type of monster card known as "retrained counterparts" has appeared more frequently over time. The Blue Flame Swordsman, the retrained effect monster counterpart of the classic fusion monster, is both stronger easier to summon when compared to its predecessor.
A Blue Dark Flare Knight could not only keep the effects of the original but also add on an attack-boosting effect similar to that of Blue Flame Swordsman, making it a great addition to any pure Warrior or mixed Warrior and Spellcaster deck.
5 Armed Dragon & Ojamas
As a reference to the character Chazz Princeton from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, select Ojama cards such as the spell card Ojamatch and the trap card Ojama Pajama also support the Armed Dragon archetype. This connection has the potential to go even further, with the introduction of a fusion combination of any Armed Dragon and any Ojama monster.
There's already an Ojama King, Emperor, and Knight, so a fusion could be an Ojama Royal Dragon that could help connect support for both archetypes further through a new effect that supports both. Although it would be weird to see a powerful dragon wearing the bathing suits the Ojamas are known for.
4 The Toon Archetype
Toons have been a well-known archetype ever since antagonist Maximillion Pegasus first used them in the anime series, and the archetype has expanded considerably since then, yet still has no fusion monsters. Despite the existence of Toon Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Toon Dark Magician, Toon Buster Blader, Toon Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Toon Summoned Skull, and Toon Cyber Dragon, there is no Toon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Toon Dark Paladin, Toon Black Skull Dragon, or Toon Cyber End Dragon.

It seems so obvious, and yet after 18 years, there are somehow still no Toon fusion monsters. Maybe introducing a Toon Polymerization card could help change that.
3 The Kuriboh Archetype
The ever-popular fluffballs, the Kuriboh archetype has never had a fusion monster despite how frequently new members of the archetype are introduced, with the closest things being the anime versions of Kuribandit and Kuribabylon.
Instead of making a fusion with different characteristics of each member of the archetype, maybe the five Kuriboh brothers or any two or more members of the archetype could combine to make a giant multicolor Kuriboh - the name Rainbow Kuriboh is already taken. It could fully protect the player from any life point damage, and when destroyed it could special summon the monsters it used as fusion material.
2 Blue-Eyes White Dragon & Red-Eyes Black Dragon
Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon may each support decks of their own, but could become an even more powerful entity as combined support for a general dragon deck. They could combine to become a Purple or Amethyst-Eyed Dragon that supports Dragon monsters while at the same time utilizing the field control and damage abilities of each archetype.
This potential fusion could cause effect damage and revive a Dragon monster every time one of the opponent's monsters is destroyed by a Dragon on the field. This may seem overpowered, but a fusion of two of the most well-known Dragons in the entire game deserves a powerful effect.
1 Dark Magician & Blue Eyes White Dragon
Two of the most recognizable cards in all of Duel Monsters, it's shocking these two legendary creatures never received some kind of fusion, especially when cards like Dragon Master Knight (also known as Master of Dragon Soldier) and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon exist.
A Blue-Eyes Silver Deity or Blue-Eyes Silver Celestial, referencing the religious monsters of the Blue-Eyes archetype, would likely be stronger than Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon in terms of attack and defense and could increase its attack whenever a Dragon monster is special summoned. We don't know a long-awaited fusion will ever exist, but maybe someday.
