Yeah, Devastator and Bruticus have had enough spotlight. Bring on the Stunticons, Technobots and others!

How about enough of the Decepticon Combiners altogether and start bringing back the few notable Autobot ones instead? Like for instance the direct counterpoint to Bruticus, Defensor?!

Computron's another great pick. We get Superion a little bit, but its too often in my book

I find Defensor to be a lot more unappreciated than either of those, thus why I'd prefer him.

Although you may find him more unappreciated, Defensor has appeared in OTFCC, Universe, The Aligned Continuity, and G1. Computron gets G1 and SG.

Something not mentioned, but I think Bruticus is an easier sell.
He's got diverse components. As in the alt modes aren't all the same thing, at that, they're pretty different. Truck, jeep, tank, helicopter and space shuttle. It's a good range of appeal. So if you only own two parts, it's two different things. For story writing purposes it allows for more to work with too.

I've got the original menasor giftset cost me a bomb but worth it. All i need are Defensor/Bruticus giftsets for my colleciton.

You could alwways do the Italian versions of the figures they are called pentacar i think.

Odd... I tend to feel like I see Computron around alot more than Defensor, at least as a combiner. As a team it's the other way around.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the PCC line at all in this thread. Granted, it saw a Bruticus, Devastator, and Superion-type combiner, it also saw Defensor and Menasor, albeit with the wrong drones (the stunticons were paired with Over-run). And there was even an Dinobot combiner, the Beast Dino-pope!

I actually liked the fact the PCC brought new combiner ideas to the table with the Destructicons and Destrons. As much as I would love updated versions of the likes of Defensor and Computron, I would love it if new combiner teams were conceived. People hated the PCC because they used drones, but they were all capable of combining. Sometimes just using the same characters gets played out.
I was very surprised an Insecticon theme was not used with the PCC.
I painted the Aerialbot team in BW Pred colors and made my own combiner:


Yeah I am not perfect at painting and Rampage(Wasp too) still needs some work, but I like 'em.

We are given so much to work with already. Don't let the fact that an official product is not given to you. Build your own combiners
