The Energon Pub

Another one?

Seriously, I think one of these groups should turn theirs into a Dinoking:

Wow, after ages of everything BUT a full set of Dinobots from anybody it seems all the rage now! Come one, Toyworld, show us what you got to compete. (Although I'm more inclined to go with a known company than a new one). Lotsa options for the Classics collector.

Now this is how you tease a combiner! Not a silhouette, not singular a limb mode, not a "Coming Soon", but THIS.

Though the combined mode seems to be a Giant Grimlock?

Yeah, but I'd rather it be this than compromise Grimlock himself in order to make room for a second head.

Wow, this looks amazing....

I think all the companies need to show their cards so we can make some decisions...

FP is already releasing their first dino...I need to see even more from Planet X, Toyworld, and this company to commit to one of them... Times runnin out.

I dunno, but this looks like the 2nd head to me, with maybe a more traditional, smaller, less goldtrims Grimmy head for the individual bot.

That said, I 2nd Ag's call for a 3rd Party Dinoking

Do we know if this is a legit upcoming product or is this just fan art?

Think this looks a bit better than TFC's version that got sold to KO's.

The individual modes, scales and prices will all be deal breakers for me.

Can't believe they didn't create a gestalt head.

Speculating, I might wind up liking this more than the TFC-Gone KO version and the TW Dinobots combiner.

Why is Grimlock always the god damn torso when Sludge is supposed to be the biggest dinosaur ? Im so sick of the whole "Me Grimlock leader so me Grimlock must be the biggest" concept. Anyways, I just dont see the need for Dinobots to combine. They took down Devastor as dinosaurs. I might be interested if they did an evil repaint as a new character in black, purple, and teal.

But at the same time, Grimlock is always bigger than the other 3 Dinobots. So, where ever you place him, he's gonna be out of balance with his counterpart. Unless a company did some DRASTIC redesign on the 5 member combiner mode.

I wonder how the individual bots are going to look. There's just so many Dinos to choose from now and in the near future.

Even if I do get another set of dinobots as my actual classics dinobots, I just might consider this to go with other combiners.

It's kind of cool.

Have to see what pricing and a few reviews say.

Thanks for the pics.

Interesting Swoop pic, It looks very G-1.

Wondering what scale and prices each individual team member will be. If I had to guess Voyagers for the limbs bots. Ultra or Leader for the core team leader Grimlock toy.

Shuraking needs a more different and intimidating helmet/head for the combined mode. Right now he looks like Grimlock on steroids.

first images of a Shuraking dinobot prototype .

That's Grimlock? Crikey, I guess this is going to be about an MP size combiner rather than Classics scale. Wow.

[Edit] Or is this Sludge or one of the others. I'm having trouble seeing enough detail...

It's still meant for classics I believe... and that is Sludge.... I think

Was interested in this at first but not at the Gigantic Eighteen to Twenty inch tall Gestalt I'm guessing this will be.

Doing the guessing Math, Sludge Ultra-Leader scale. Snarl Ultra-Leader scale. Swoop and Slag Voyager-Ultra Scale. Grimlock 12 inch robot scale.

If these are Forty or Fifty percent less the Price of FT's and GP's Dinobots then I'll consider getting them instead. If not then no.

Looks a tad bit over the top with the ridges, but not bad for a new comer. Looks like this could be a battle between Toyworld and GC. I'm gonna pass on the FP Dinos (for now)

I find myself more and more interested in this set over the others.

I'll have 1 each of the Planet X and FP Dinos in hand soon, but I may stop at that till at least one of these are available.

Me too, this is looking good, especially if its released as a full set.

A full set ? that's one price tag i don't want to see .

Two things i hate about this bot mode.

1. That ugly back kibble sticking out the sides .

2. The size of it's calves , they are stupidly big .

The rest of it looks ok and i do like the clear plastic parts .
