not sure if that volcanicus is better or worse than that beast from the really bad dinobot combiner comic. Both assault my eyes in different ways.

The Beast was definately worse. It's an abomination.

I dunno. Maybe the toy version looks better (I haven't seen it combined) but that thing up there is a cluttered, badly proportioned, overly-colourful mass of crap. Dunno why the Dinobots have gotta combine anyways. It's ok to have a team of five bots who don't turn into giant body parts... The Dinobots were totally ok with not being combiners for years. And instead of really awesome new toys of those guys we get CW-type crud that look worse and cheaper than the original toys and have only the addition of extra articulation as a true benefit.

Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong!

The tides of battle are about to change...

The Earth Wars are about to get a lot BIGGER! 2 new colossal Combiners have joined the fray. Will the Autobots gain the advantage they've been looking for with the devastating Volcanicus? Or will the ruthless Decepticons finally crush the Autobots once and for all with the ferocious power of Predaking?

Release the beasts now!

Click the 'Play Now' button to try out these 2 metal gargantuan for yourself right now! We've crafted a special Challenge Battle* so you can jump straight into a battle and wreak chaos and destruction upon the enemy.

This level is only available for a limited amount of time, so what are you waiting for?

* Note: Volcanicus & Predaking will be available to be unlocked in the Combiner Lab next week.

What do you get when you combine the awesome Dinobots: Grimlock, Slug, Snarl,Slog, and Strafe? You get the awesome primal wrecking machine Volcanicus!

Divebomb, Rampage, Tantrum, Razorclaw, Headstrong are the vicious Decepticonswho combine to unleash the devastating power of the Predaking!

The new Combiners are equipped with up to three deadly attacks capable of inflicting unimaginable damage to their opponents.

Energo-Sword / Infernum Blade - Jump and strike with this sword! Deals damage to the target and anything directly behind it.

Fire and Brimstone - Set a wide area on fire dealing an average of damage over 8 seconds!

Extinction - A shower of meteors bombards a very large area dealing an average of damage over 10 seconds. Quadruple damage to walls.

Oh agreed. The Dinobots never needed to combine. And for those saying they need to to fight Predaking? Nah. The Predacons couldn't beat the Dinobots in Marvel UK.

Here’s a digested version of what happened these last days in Transformers: Earth Wars. If you need assets for your posts, please click here. Feel free to use any of them!

As promised, the ‘Unleashing the Beasts’ series continued! The 3 last episodes, “The Art: Bringing the Combiners to Life”, “The Story with Simon Furman” and “The Toy: How it all began” are live on our Facebook page and YouTube channel. Don’t miss out and follow our social channels for more!

We “pressed the button” this Tuesday - Volcanicus and Predaking are now available in-game! Also, if you don’t have the bots to combine them yet, you can play them for free in the Challenge Battle. You can access this feature via the newsfeed section.

Last weekend’s event was called ‘Stolen Secrets’, the start of the new ‘Volcanicus vs Predaking’ saga! It starred the leader of the Dinobots, Grimlock, and the leader of the Predacons, Razorclaw. Will the Dinobots be able to withstand the vicious pounce of the Predacons? Stay tuned as the saga continues this Friday!

Holy crap...

360,000 points to complete this? That's like 9000 per member per alliance if it's full!

That is ridiculous. What was the combaticon one, like 250,000 or something like that?
