Heat will happen, and maybe failure.

It is not advisable to directly parallel two same-kind transformers, 
and parallelling two dissimilar transformers is a real bad thing. The 
effect, if there is any voltage difference, is like a shorted turn or 
turns. The only saving grace is the heat is spread out over the 
entire winding, instead of concentrated.

If you want to use them in a HV supply, just use separate rectifiers 
on each and combine the dc output of the rectifier systems.
