1. A forming assembly for use in a can bodymaker, the forming assembly comprising:
a stationary assembly; and
a moving assembly movably coupled to the stationary assembly,
wherein the stationary assembly and the moving assembly are a unified assembly that is structured to be selectively coupled as a single assembly to, or selectively uncoupled from, a mounting assembly body of the can bodymaker,
wherein the moving assembly is structured to be selectively coupled to a ram drive assembly of the can bodymaker and moved with respect to the stationary assembly thereby, and wherein the stationary assembly comprises: a stationary assembly base; a die pack coupled to the stationary assembly base, the die pack having a proximal end and a distal end; and a domer coupled to the stationary assembly base adjacent the distal end of the die pack.
