Agreed

I really don't get why they can't designs similar to these for the movies. Bay-formers robots look like piles of junk from a salvage yard got up and started walking around.

I do like the size and overall shape (one big bot) of the new Warbotron Bruticus, but I think the figure is over saturated with too much industrial details to mix well with the other 3rd party combiners. Even so, it's still one BAMF. I like it over the fanspro but I'm gonna wait to see if any other designers are going to take a crack at it.
Yeah that use to be the main thing that collected before getting into 6" scale action figures.
I agree that the tech detailing could have been dialed back a bit, and it can get a little too busy looking. Master Mind Creations has probably made the best 3rd party combiner with their Feral Rex (Predaking). But it looks like they are shifting to IDW based characters for future releases instead of making new combiners. But on day I would love to see MMC take on Sky Lynx to setup next to Feral Rex.

Yeah I always loved the combiners when I was younger along with the Dinobots. I always thought it would be cool if the Dinobots could combine. The Dinobots on their own could hold their own with a combiner and I thought how badass if they could combine. Well two 3rd Party companies are doing just that ToyWorld and GCreation.
Toyworld TWD Dino Combiner


And the even bigger
GCreation - Shuraking. This one is going to be pretty close to 2 feet tall.



If I was going to get either of those two sets it would be GCreation's Shuraking due to the shear size of that beast. But at the moment I'm not planning either because I'm already buying the 3rd party Masterpiece Dinobots.
