Well, I hear "Skuttle" and I think of sinking ships, so I'd say (bending the rules slightly to include prehistoric reptiles in general), a Spider + Mosasaurus.

Icthyosaurus just seems boring, and I can't wrap my head around a spider/plesiosaurus mix.

Disregarding the name though, a spider + ankylosaurus fuzor would be most aesthetically satisfying.

Functionally, a Velociraptor or Deinonychus capable of spinning webs, sticking to walls, and using venomous secondary fangs would freak me out. Ooh... Especially if the sickle claws were adapted to inject poison...

Sunburn-Spinosaur mixed with?

I could see combining a Spinosaurus with a bird of some sort for the wings, preferably something colorful like a parrot.

Another possibility would be a Chameleon - add horns to the face, opposable eyes, funny hands (still with claws), color changing skin, and a projectile tongue.

The image of a Spinosaurus/Bull fuzor is tickling the back of my brain, but is not yet fully formed.

A Spinosaurus combined with a Giant Squid would be quite dangerous.

Sunfyre-wolf combined with?

Wolf + Velociraptor = Ultimate Pack hunter. Tad redundant though, really. Only bits of the wolf worth keeping would be the nose, ears, and eyes.

Wolf + Pterosaur (maybe Dimorphodon) = Evilized version of Silverbolt

Wolf + Triceratops = Unique, but I can kind of picture it. A wolf-like frame with thick hide, much more bulk, and of course, horns and a neck shield.

Wolf + Stegosaurus = Wolf body, Stego plates and tail. Very 'punk' looking. I think this one might be my favorite.

Wolf + Dilophosaurus = Wolf with a cool looking head, and, if you assume Crichton was right, a ranged attack.

Wolf + Pachycephalosaurus = Light-weight Brawler

Bloodscythe-no clue, as long as he keeps his dragon like qualities

Bat + Carnotaurus? That's pretty demonic.

Komodo Dragon + Quetzalcoatylus would also be formidable.

Okay, I'm going back to bed.

Dyno will be a leader of a subfaction of the Toxicons/Predacons.

Each one will be a dinosaur fuzed with another creature.

It will be a group of five.

Dyno Maximus(or whatever I change his name too)-great white/trex fuzor

Skuttle-something combined with a spider?

How about (instead of a spider) a Trilobite, possibly mixed with an Ankylosaur of some kind for extra armour and the tail club. Alteratively, a scorpion and pretty much any theropod would be a scary prospect (take theropod, add stinger, armour and claws).

Original Sin wrote:Sunburn-Spinosaur mixed with?

Kentrosaurus (Stegosaurus' extra-spiky cousin) for the "vicious-as-hell" appearance.

Original Sin wrote:Sunfyre-wolf combined with?

Raptor/Sabretoothed Tiger. Two great tastes that go well together.

Original Sin wrote:Bloodscythe-no clue, as long as he keeps his dragon like qualities

I'll second the Carnotaurus-bat mix, suitable draconic in appearance and damn scary looking.

Wow Original Sin getting some crazy Preds out of this,
I like the Trilobite/Ankylosaur idea, and the Velocorapter/mamal hunter animals.

I almost want to make a Predify My Team thread too.

You're going Predacon? :???:

News Credits: 2 · by **GreenLantern of Cybertron** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 8:33 am

Its driving me crazy.
For G1 im Autobot all the way.

But for beastwars, I frikkin love the Preds.

The only reason that keeps me autobot is that all my guys would have to die.

I wish I was allowed to have two teams...

You know, the autobots are getting an Ankylosaurus alt mode in v2, so there's nothing really stopping you from "borrowing" the fuzor idea.

News Credits: 2 · by **GreenLantern of Cybertron** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 9:57 am

Its not the alt choices its switching allegience.
I cant decide, they both are fun for me.

anyway this thread isnt about me, I stop hijacking it and start my own I guess.

News Credits: 3 · by **Rebirth Megatron** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 10:30 am

I know how you feel GL. Honest truth, I wish I could have 2 teams myself. I do love the preds as much as I love the G1 cons.

And here's my suggestion for Starscream: Bunny/Lemming Fuzor.

Now that I got the comedy out of the way.

Skuttle: I like that Trilobyte Idea..but combine that with a spider and you'd have the fugliest thing under the sea...and that's a good thing. I'd freak seeing something like that crawling around.

Sunburn: I like Kaijubot's idea. It'd look totally badass.

Sunfyre: Wolf and Dimetrodon seems to come to me. That back fin thing could be used similarly to G1 Snarl's power. It keep hina Quadraped but add something freaky to him. Besides they seem to have powerful looking jaws for an early reptile.

Bloodscythe: A third vote for the Carnotaurus/bat mix.

BTW Caelus/GL, love the Dyno Maximus art. Veep's got his first Pred pic already.

Keep in mind Veep you do have another few options with Screamer going for a wasp. You could use Buzz Saw. His face is depicted as the robot head and not the mutant head. Keeps Starscream from looking hideous while allowing him the mobility of a wasp. OR you could make him TM Waspinator, which would bring in the jet element to him. Plus if you found a pic of TM Waspy, you could replace his head with Screamer's old one.

a Trilobyte/spider reminded me of the pic I found on the internets a while back:

It looks so cool, it's face looks almost reptilian.

That would be PERFECT.

If he still wanted another fuzor, he could simply add the pincers and tail of a scorpion on that.

Kinda like that idea myself as well. Could make the wings bat like, but with wing claws like those of Archeaopteryx.

OR he could look something like this:

The artist basically combined elements of cranes with raptors and dragons...

I think this is another pic of the same animal, hard to tell though.

Nyah, you beat me to it!

I thought of that while I was trying to sleep last night, after thinking Wolf + Kentrosaurus would be cooler than a Wolf + Stegosaurus.

Another alternative to the Bat + Carnotaurus mix would be a Praying Mantis + Carnotaurus mix. Give it extra mandibles, wings, sickle shaped foreclaws, and chitin armor. Would be much less traditional looking though.

Also, I'm seriously leaning towards the Raptor + Spider mix, b/c I finally got a good visual image, and it freaks me out a lot. Imagine a gloss black raptor with 6 arms, 4 eyes, second set of mandibles with venomous fangs, chitinous armor on some of the body, spinnerettes on tip of tail, and bristly hair. I must draw it. It may exceed my skills though if I draw it from the perspective I have in mind.

Oh man, thinking about that just gave me the creeps

but in a good way.
