Yay for dinosaur combiners!!!

sigh another one i may pass up i may save my money get micrmaster dinocombiner micromaster combiners look better than power corcombiners its the arms & legs that turn me away from these sets if powercore combiners had hands & feet of g1 or micromaster combiners i buy them but im not feeling it

is that really supposed to be his left arm? really? A set of FEET are his left hand!?
PCC is so ridiculous i can't stand it.

Nice, I gotta get this set. All I have right now is the first wave of the commander sets with the minicons and the combaticon/bombshock set. Must find more.

i'm strangely diggin this.....

I like them. I want to see the bot mode for Grimstone.

i like the look of these guys but im more inteestedin the constructicons so i can combine sledge with them also lol at the rather unfortunate combiner port on the right arm

No..

I'd still buy it and name MP Grimlock (if I ever get him) as their leader. Too bad there's not a pterodactyl thrown in the party. Still getting it though.

Totally awesome!

Triceramax Megazord! Activate! BTW Grimstone is a Styracosaurus, and the "-ia"'s are the family names. We usually use the "-us" for the actual animal

No matter how much they say the PCC line sucks, I gotta have this one.

Yeah, tell me about it. When I got my first PCC 5-Pack, Bombshock, I was a little bit disappointed about one of the drones, the jeep-thing (not the tank-ish jeep) I call Swindle, because when I pop him in his slot, he angles to the right/left and then falls off. Once I get some, I plan on fixing the problem by hot-gluing the side of his slot so that it's tighter and won't fall off. Wish me luck!

This may be the first 5 Pack I actually pick up. The others just haven't really done much to impress me. I like the Commander/Mini-Con two-packs, but the drones in the 5 packs just kill it for me.

I'm ganna have to see more pics but it looks like the arms connect in od spots. The head and the um.... bum.

Hmm, not bad, from what I can tell from these pics. The drones look a little fail, but otherwise it looks decent.

I'll take one. Classics Grimlock needs his army

definatly picking this set up it looks great

I have to say, even with the tall head, it look pretty good, now that I can see details. And despite any faults you can find, I think people would have to agree that this is one of the most proportional PCCs out there, with thicker limbs and a decent hip assembly.

Am i the only one who thinks this is the best PCC set yet?

Buy on sight. Must have more Dinobots!!!! Even if his left hand is made of feet.

Great, so the non-dinosaur in this Dinobot team lived waaaaaaaay before the Dinosaurs themselves actually existed! And what's even more confusing is that Dimetrodon is part mammal! This means that the fully combined Dinobot team is only 90% mechanical reptile...and I LOVE it! So what if the left hand is feet? The whole charm of the PCCs (well, part of it) is that the Power Core teams combine into an anthropomorphic robot with non-anthropomorphic limbs! That's the whole look of the line, and I really like it! So far, I really like all the PCC sets - even the Rallybots!
Cue the rotten tomatoes...

Sooooooooooooooooo close... But no. Actual mammals came into existence around the same time as the Dinosaurs. Pelycosaurs like Dimetrodon did have mammalian traits like different kinds of teeth and similar build (legs downward instead of sideways).
