So we had Dinoking from the JPN series but I never really liked that name. The easiest one that comes to mind would be based on Menasor just with the phonetics and that would mean that a Dinobot combiner would be called:

DINOSAUR!

Seems to easy doesn't it? Any other suggestions?

In the old comics series, the Dinobots did have a combined form, they called it "The Beast". It combined all of the worst traits of the Dinobots and generally made it a threat to not only the Autobots but the Decepticons as well.
Here's a picture of it:

Never read the comics that much. Nice pic and that is exactly what I was looking for with the G1 forms. I had thought that a combiner was done with the G1 figures and now I know where it came from. I saw some customs done on eBay a few times to recreate this guy.

Looks a bit freakish. Not a bad name I guess. Doesn't roll off the tongue as easily as the other Gestalt Warrior's names though. Any other suggestions?

There, I edited my first post to include a pic. Anyway, according to the story, the "Beast" became too much of a threat that the Autobots were forced to destroy it.

I can see why and the storyline would make sense. They were dumb to begin with so when you combine such stupidity you get an uncontrollable idiot basically that attacks anything and everything.

I always liked the name of the custom Gestalt given to it: Tyrannoking. Makes sense to me, & it sounds good.

It wasn't just stupid, it was ferocious. It not only destroyed those in front of him, but it went looking for survivors to kill.

Now that is a name:

Tyrannoking

Love it. Absolutely love it. Thanks!

Sounds like my kind of Transformer. Ruthless! :-x

Starting to like this guy. Any suggestion on which Marvel comic # best represents him?

He appeared in a two part comic called "The Beast Within." I'm not totally sure if it was Marvel or Dreamwave who produced it.

Tyrannoking just sounds more menacing to me but Dinoking readlly takes into account all the dinobots instead of just centring on T-Rex so you have a point :-?

while we are on the subject anyone know if these guys came out as a 2 pack??

I loved that guy...!!!

here was a cool villain combiner too!!

I would love it if they combined the Dinobots into a gesatalt from "Animated" they could call him OmegaSaur

I can't take credit for the name Dinoking though...that was the name of the Japanese Dinosaur combiner.

I dunno, you could go with

Death Saurer

Now that I think about it, the Dinobots DID have a bit of a rivalry with Devastator, didn't they?

No worries. I noted the Dinoking name in the first post to start this thread.

The first pic was the Energon Grimlock and Swoop two pack that came out in 2005. The second figure set was Magmatron. Love that guy two in bot mode.

OmegaSaur is not a bad name as well.

A bit too close to Deathsaurus used in Masterforce. Not a bad name though.
