My Transformers artwork of Dinoking - a gestalt warrior comprising of 5 G1 Dinobots and Bio.

After much consideration, decided to pick the first one.

Based on the custom-made toy I have for over 10 years. If I want to sell eventually on Amazon or Ebay, it will be for $1500.

That's one of the nicest dinobot combiners I've seen, pictures are good as well. Only thing I'll point out is there's already a dinoking in G1, courtesy of the Japanese G1 cartoon, transformers Victory. They were a repaint of Monstructor. He was a decpticon

Thanks for your compliments.

I still feel Dinoking is more appropriate for Dinobots as Predaking for Predacons.

Since they are created first before those Dinosaur pretenders.

My next poster could be Predaking Vs Dinoking Something fans want to see but none of them have drawn so far.

This is the front view of my toy.

Here are more pictures of my drawings.

One is of Dinoking standing in the way of Devastrator and Menasor while the other is Grimlock himself.

This was the original Dinoking done by Hasbro before Monster Pretenders revamped by Takara in V Victory.

Supposed to be for Scramble City and Season 4 subsequent episodes after Rebirth Of Head-And-Targetmasters but due to financial difficulties, it was never released in animation nor as toy.

So was it meant to be a scramble-city combiner?

by **amurowes** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:04 pm

Yes, Scramble City and subsequent Season 4 episodes after Rebirth of Head-and-Targetmasters.

There was to be a big fight between Dinobots and Predacons.

Then how come the Japanese never used it for their Headmasters series?

Unfortunately Dinobots were featured as minor characters. Apart from appearing in first 2 episodes, they were never seen again.

The main featured combiners were the Trainbots. Though they were part of Diaclone toy series, they did not feature in US series but only in Japanese series.

My imaginary toy e-cover for Dinobots gift set.

This is my drawing of WST Dinoking in G1 colors. A toy I should have bought 2 months ago but did not and it was sold out. So I have to make do with the black dark version.

This is my drawing of Dinoking in final phase of construction within Autobot City aka Metroplex. What you are seeing now is his TRUE face exactly like my toy.

The ones you see in my previous drawings is his protective mask.

Cannot decide which is better so I decided to make Dinoking like the live action movie Bumblebee who has a real face and protective mask that looks like a bee face.

My drawing of Dinobot commander Grimlock masterpiece.

This will be the final character to be featured in my upcoming fan-made Transformers comic: Transformers The Movie 2 - also the sequel to the first animated movie in 1986.

My drawing of second strongest and yet slowest thinking Dinobot Sludge.

by **amurowes** » Sat Sep 20, 2014 1:29 am

My drawing of third strongest yet most hostile and aggressive Dinobot Slag. Also to be featured in my comic.

by **amurowes** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 1:22 am

My drawing of fourth strongest Dinobot Snarl. Unlike his fellow Dinobots, he can recover his strength easily and quickly under daylight by using the power of the sun via his solar panels on his back.

by **amurowes** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 11:46 pm

This is my drawing of Swoop masterpiece. Though he is the only Dinobot who can fly in both robot and dino modes, he is also regarded as the weakest.

Other than his aerial abilities in duel modes, standard Dino energon sword and wing-mounted missile launchers, Swoop does not possess the strength of his fellow Dinobots.

One enemy blast to one of his wings is all it takes to bring him down.

Also has a grudge rivalry with his Predacon counterpart Divebomb.
