It would appear the previously reported third-party dino-combiner is moving from computer renders to prototypes. The images mirrored below popped up on the Chinese toy website ACToys. To see computer renders of the robot mode and conceptual images of the other members click here.

The same topic also contains images of the non-Transformers related Star Cat Rescue Team combiner (bottom three images).

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

No all of those bots are multiple prototypes of one robot that turns into a dinosaur and combines with other dinobot like guys.

Interesting. Looks pretty decent. Also, that bottom pic looks like something unrelated, almost like another Springer. Any info on that?

I know we haven't been shown a hell of a lot of these sets but I've gotten a lot more excited over far less. The dinosaur set just makes me think of Power Rangers. If this is meant to be the Dinobots then it's ALL going to come down to the colour scheme. I'm with Dead Metal when he speculates that these are just themed transforming robots.

Sorry guys, refer back to my original post. The bottom three images are for an un-TF related project for Star Cat Rescue Team. Just thought folks might find them interesting.

I don't think they were going for the Grimlock look honestly. Although, this is about as close to Grimlock as the classics figure is, in Dino mode at least. My guess is that this will be their own 5 dinobots somehow related to THE Dinobots.

So TFC, how about them PCC limbs??

God I'm stupid, and there I was wondering where all the dinosaur kibble was on that bot-mode. :lol:

So TFC has spent this time making more crap that we could care less about and less time making the final 2 pieces of Devastator?

I like what they reveal, but they are steadily losing any hope I have for them.

All they show are fragments of stuff now.

I might actually start to care about their stuff if they would actually take the time to finish one project at a time.

I have a hunch we will be seeing the completed Hercules in the instruction manual of Exgraver.

Eeehhhhh.... not sure how I feel about this one. The Concept got me all excited, if they were for the PCC Dinobot then I might be more interested, but if they're just going to be a Dinobot inspired combiner then probably not.

Well it looks like i'm part of the very small group that likes this.

I took a chance buying my very first PCC which was grimstone and loved him, so to see another dino-combiner is =P~

I dont care if it is or isn't supposed to be the G1 crew im just glad theres new combiners that are not the usual and i don't see power wankers either personally i think this looks great i just hope its affordable

I think it has potential. From what I've read at various places around the web these are supposed to be about the same size as the Hercules figures and share the same style combining ports.

Another member of the third-party dino-combiner has showed up on ACToys. This time we get a look at a prototype version of the pterodactyl team member in both modes along with the previously seen t-rex and a member of the Star Cat Rescue Team combiner. Images have been mirrored below.

That's not bad, not bad at all. I'm going to have a tough time deciding to display these guys individually as my classic dinobots or together in the combined mode.

If that isn't meant to be Swoop then it's someone who looks exactly like him.
