S/F: No purpose what-so-ever.
S/V: Seems like a hindrance.
A/F: Suicide.
A/V: IMPOSSIBRU!!!!
F/V: Bring Scrambler forward behind thorns. Probably the only other combo with special interaction. Not necessary better then any of the above.

These assessments aren't true. I have some experience with S/V and it works well. I don't really think any of your other assessments are that well thought out or supported by any evidence, I'm sure there could be uses for all those combos. I do not really want to take the time to address them in this thread though.

When would you ever want to warp a bramble, or even a scrambler? Never, probably. The idea here is that the mobi being able to warp the shell is a very cool "team" concept, since you are using the powers of both teams' specials together.

Restated, mobi/shell is the only team combo worth playing. This means something should change, right? Other team combos should be fun too, right? I believe that's the whole point of this thread.

Agreed - I would just hate for the solution to be making the most fun team combo less fun.

I don't think it would drastically affect play. You would still be able to use the BS offensively with the mobi, just not as quickly as you would with the current system.

There are a lot of other fun combos out there! This change would allow the use of all these combos without restricting your level of success in 2v2. I think that 2v2 gives us the unique opportunity to use some races that may not be as powerful in 1v1 and have success with them by combining then with another race. Without some kind of change the A/S combo will still be the most powerful, and will not allow for the diversity that could be achieved in 2v2 (still the most powerful without a change). This change will not affect the individual races at all, and would be easy to implement.
