The Dinos look ok, if a bit "bony" in detail. I'd have to see actual pics, and have them coloured like G1 Dinobots for me to be too interested.

I don't think these will ever be the Dinobots to me. The Dinobots are too iconic to be done in this fashion.

However perhaps they would make a decent standin for TF:Victory Dinoforce...

Agreed. They won't be THE dinobots for me either but they have me interested nonetheless. Maybe new recruits Wheeljack created to help out Grimlock until Hasbro gets around to finishing the bunch.

I must've missed something: how do you know this is from TFClub?

Regardless of who they're from, I'm not interested. Not really a fan of the style. They're very Zoids, or semi-movie. Plus I've always liked to think that the Dinobots are powerful enough without combining. The other one looks a little 'meh'!

Damn, that's sexy

DAMN! NOW THOSE ARE CLASSICS DINOBOTS!!!!

Heres more pic's Dinobots or Dinogiest i dont care these are cool and i want them.

So how do you know the same design team working on Deva/Hercules is the same design team behind these other projects?

Is not like they have a single person designing everything.

can't wait... i need a Grimlock i my collection.

Besides, they have to show us something to tide us over while those other figs get out of the factory

I don't see why they can't have more than one product in the design stages while still working on Devestator. Actually it makes me feel more confident about buying Exgraver. If they're planning more combiners it means they probably won't shut down production leaving me with just the one Constructicon.

I have no idea how big their team is, but logic is dictating that it's a pretty small team if we've yet to see the remaining 2 Constructicons while they keep cranking out other items.

It would be a different story if we had already seen images of all 6 Constructicons. For now, I'm going to stand by my argument of them needing to stop screwing around and get Devastator done.

I wouldn't be bothered by them showing off more stuff they are up to, if they were actually finishing and producing more than lame transforming guns and heads.

True, but these guys are giving iGear a run for their money.

if the pictures are the colours of these combining dinobots are correct , then i've one thing to say "go,go,go power rangers"

Hopefully those are just test shot colors.

If those are the colors,then they'd look like the Generation 2 dinobots intended 5 dinobots colors & not G-1 colors.

I dont see Dinobots here. I see power ranger dinosaurs. Or maybe Godzilla foes. Grimlock should not have a tail for an arm. They cant be serious...

Plus the combiner mode is awful with its chubby legs and shoulder kibble. Swoop is just too small to math the other arm or leg on the opposite side. He will look naturally crippled like DJ Paul of Three Six Mafia. And of course Sludge would be the obvious choice for the torso because of his size. But Sludge is not the leader. The whole concept of a Dinobot combiner is just silly. The Dinobots used to kick Devastators ass all the time.

I'm with robofreak...I'm not really diggin' that they're showing everything in the world BUT the rest of Hercules. Makes me think they don't have a clue of HTF to finish the thing they're supposedly going to market with any day now. Not to mention I'm beyond sick of seeing all their plans and none of their actual product. Until they start finishing some of what they start, screw their next plan.

PS, most of this thread is off-topic. Where's the 3rd party 'goodness'? All I see is a bunch of Dino-fail...

I see dinobots here, just not THE dinobots.

It would appear the previously reported third-party dino-combiner is moving from computer renders to prototypes. The images mirrored below popped up on the Chinese toy website ACToys. The same topic also contains images of the non-Transformers related Star Cat Rescue Team combiner (bottom three images).

You know this looks nothing like Grimlock, not even in the slightest. I believe this is something original by them while paying homage to a few TF concepts.

All those bots combine into a dinosaur? Interesting!

joevill wrote:All those bots combine into a dinosaur? Interesting!

No all of those bots are multiple prototypes of one robot that turns into a dinosaur and combines with other dinobot like guys.

Interesting. Looks pretty decent. Also, that bottom pic looks like something unrelated, almost like another Springer. Any info on that?

meh...


oooh, is that a potential Springer mold I see?

I know we haven't been shown a hell of a lot of these sets but I've gotten a lot more excited over far less. The dinosaur set just makes me think of Power Rangers. If this is meant to be the Dinobots then it's ALL going to come down to the colour scheme. I'm with Dead Metal when he speculates that these are just themed transforming robots.

Sorry guys, refer back to my original post. The bottom three images are for an un-TF related project for Star Cat Rescue Team. Just thought folks might find them interesting.

I don't think they were going for the Grimlock look honestly. Although, this is about as close to Grimlock as the classics figure is, in Dino mode at least. My guess is that this will be their own 5 dinobots somehow related to THE Dinobots.

So TFC, how about them PCC limbs??
