Uh, actually... Did they stop producing those? I can't find them anywhere except tfsource, and they decided to quadruple the price.
If they aren't making those anymore, I might just cancel these. I did intend to display them together after all.
Pretty sure they have stopped producing them, but you may still get lucky and see one somewhere eventually. I'd still recommend getting the Bruticus add-ons, because you'll probably regret skipping them. I know I would.

I think I would rather have the Energon version. Whoops, I meant Universe with Crossfire added. There is absolutly no contest between them. Seriously Hasbro, you dropped the ball with the Energon combiners. Thank the gods for Fansproject.
I'm going to have both.

This. I think for what Hasbro was doing at the time, they did a good job. There were obviously budget and limitations, but the combiners turned out pretty well and fit the Energon line. After all, they weren't really designed to be full-on modern versions of the G1 combiners, they were designed to be Energon versions. In that aspect they succeeded.
Fansproject's set raises the bar of course, for reasons that have already been discussed.
