As far as I know, the 616 celestials have never merged together. On the other hand, some of them are known to express multiple bodies at the same time.
If these alternate reality celestials are anything like their 616 counterparts, it is thus possible that the four "celestials" seen fighting Galactus were actually a single crazy/schizophrenic celestial which had just split into parts. The celestial then simply assumed its original complete form in order to stomp Galactus.
That's reading too far into it. There was a large group of Celestials that breached the headquarters of the Council of Reeds some 20-25 issues ago. These 4 are the ones that survived various battles and what not. The reason why they're called "insane" is because the council of reeds was ****ing around with various dimensions and universes so much that these celestials got together and decided to eliminate the council at all costs and to put human beings in their place.
In a cosmic context, they were the first to actually be aggressive against the Council to try and put an end to all their manipulations. It took some 20 issues for the rest of the MU to get with the program and figure that out for themselves.

just to be clear so people don't jump in and get the wrong idea.
i'm not referring to TI...i'm referring to the floating severed Celestial head which was confirmed on panel to be brain dead. same head that the GotG and luminals etc. were living in.

it was to be the main subject of a future arc, but the series was cancelled before they could do it.
I did ask the writers at NYCC 2011 if the celestial was unquestionably dead, they confirmed yes...not only did they confirm that but they said they absolutely have a clear and distinct story surrounding the entity that was able to do that to the celestial, but are holding on to it in case the series resumes. So there's no "post publication" reveal like there was with the Last Galactus Story.

The Celestial Fusion Dance was a bit silly, imo, but it was a cool fight nevertheless, even if it just boiled down to giant energy blasts and the like.
I give this Celestial/Galactus battle a clear nod over the Odin/Galactus battle. No one knew that the Celestials would merge to take out Galactus just like no one anticipated that Odin would bum rush headbutt Galactus, but the difference is the former was totally unanticipated while the latter was just stupid.

Odin/Galactus, in spite of the power gap (which may vary depending on your milage and which showings you look at), could have been visually a way cooler fight. Fraction goes on to say "this will be a true battle of god like beings" and even has Sif ask Thor how do omnipotent beings fight one another. And all we get is a telepathic showdown and the infamous Odin Headbutt.
The headbutt is infamous though still but in a horrific way. I just don't get how these writers usually struggle with putting together an exceptional fight.
