Found these while digging through the thread over on ACToys that has the TFC Star Cats combiner and Dino-Combiner. Very early sketches, but it looks like they may be considering the Terrorcons.

Cool idea and all but I just wish they'd finish one of their other 2-3 projects first. Give me the PCC limbs!

Might be of interest, but it seems quite a ways off so I'm not going to get impatient for it.

They are finishing their other projects, but one cannot run a single project to completion without starting the next one, otherwise the wait in between would be too long.

Although I am wondering what happened to those PCC limbs...

I understand your point but these guys have plenty to keep them busy for a while..

My wallet is getting 3rd Party fatigue!

Such is the price I pay for being a collector.

The Terrorcons? They deserve it. Probably one of the more neglected G1 combiners.

Them and Computron most definitely need more love.

Agreed on Computron one hundred percent. The Constructions have two third party versions, the CD upgrades and a new boxed set coming out. The Aerialbots and Combaticons have their Crossfire upgrades. Time for some of the later combiners to get some love.

I'd like to see all the combiners get some attention, but realistically I'm not going to live long enough to see it what with the speed that 3rd parties release their stuff. I think I agree on the point that I would like to see a few completed projects down before getting excitied about concept sketches.

I only own two G1 combiners Menasor and Abominus and while Menasor is the smallest gestalt and needs upgraded but for me its truely Abominus who needs some attention at last

Due to the fact he has no CHURG or Movie deluxe or voyager figures, i think only Hun-Gurr has had a Legends figure? which is nothing compared to the others.

I love that picture of Blot as a Wildbore realy suits him i hope they keep it similar for the final design, if it will ever see the light of day

Im not holding my breath for this to happen any time soon but its something im more than happy to wait for.

I like their take on Blot as a humanoid warthog.

In order of G1 combiners not done yet in Classics style I'd like to see...

1. The Terrorcons and Technobots. Definitely ignored and worthy of attention.

2. The Predacons. They just got a reissue, but seeing Predaking updated would be win.

3. Stunticons. Aerialbots need their rivals. ;) I know we got redecos, but they're hard-to-find exclusives and don't combine.

4. Protectobots, Monster Pretenders. I don't care too much about these guys, but it'd be nice.

as much as I love the Terrorcons (because they were the only gestalt team I completed in G1...or ever, actually. not counting my KO Poundland, non-combining Constructicons) I'd much rather a Predacons redux. If only because they've got plenty of repaint potential, and as such, seem more likely.

Razorclaw - Lio Convoy/Lioprime/Leobreaker (whatever they want to call him)
Rampage - Ravage/Tigatron/Cheetor/Steeljaw
Headstrong - Rhinox/Ramhorn
Tantrtum - STAMPEDE! (or BW Ramhorn)
Divebomb - Silverbolt (BW) or Air-razor

He's an obscure character from the Simon Furman text story The Magnificent Six in one of the old UK Transformers Annuals. He was slowly tortured to death by the insane Decepticon commander Megadeath while the rest of his captured unit were restrained with their optics clamped open and forced to watch.
