That's right, Transformers customizer frenzy_rumble takes us to a place where no one has gone before. Grimlock, Slag, Sludge, Swoop and Snarl, all combining into one massive behemoth called Extinction. Words can't do this masterpiece justice, so if you haven't checked Extinction before, you don't know what you're missing out on!
Extinction isn't just one jumble of plastic like ROTF Supreme Devastator. No, frenzy_rumble has engineered the Dinobots to combine, as well as transform between robot and alternate mode! Check out Grimlock, Slag, Sludge, Swoop and Snarl individually.

Do some extra parts make this up, or is it made only of the dinobots? For example is it like G1 devastator or ROTF devastator?

Yes, well, let's not talk about that. This amazing work washed that bad taste right out of my mouth.

This may be the most amazing transformer I've seen. I love the details: the Wheelie headmaster, knuckle tattoos, etc. Bravo!
If you ever sell this, I will definitely consider buying it.

I love the homage to the '80s movie by having Wheelie as the head.
I also love the name. "Devastator, face Extinction!"

More like g1 devastator, for example the abdomen is made from Grimlock but the chest and shoulders are extra parts. The shins, upper arms, and stomach region are all dinobots, the rest is extra parts. Though the extra parts turn into something else themselves

is wheelie just a head master now, he lost his ability to become vehicle i assume from the look?

Sadly, they delivered on that promise and released Dinobots that had Beast Wars style transforms and weaponry and there was no giant combined form. I guess after that Hasbro figured the interest wasn't there and dropped any further attempts. Perhaps with enough encouragement from G1 collectors they might rethink that decision. After all, didn't Peter Cullen get Optimus' role due to fan pressure?
Finally, are there plans to release a Targetmaster version (no Wheelie) that has an ankylosaurus as the hip and thigh region and the back armor as the chestpiece (much like Snap Trap's shell for Piranacon) as well as a raptor (say, an Ultraraptor) for the gun/shoulder cannon? That I would truly love. It was something I had envisioned since early '86 but lacked the ability to design/build myself.
Again, I think the touches you made to this robot are astounding. I especially love the robot's head as well as the wing-like pieces that stick out from the forearms; they almost look like they have a bladed edge. And, as for the gold paint, it gives the robot a "battle damaged" or "veteran combatant" look to it. It's impressive....

P.S. How does frenzyrumble post here if he's shown as "banned"?

I doubt anyone from Hasbro pays attention to sites like this but just in case: This is what we, the older fans look for when we browse or buy Transformer toys. Gaining new fans is fine and good but if you look to please those who grew up with the original cartoon and comics you gotta go with nostalgia. Personally that is exactly why I love the Classics series. And I would like to see more that brings new life to old, familiar faces.

Just for anyone interested, I have planned a MASTERPIECE style / sized Extinction wanting to get done. I'll post some WIPs on it!

The best custom ever.
Only two that tie it that I've seen is the MP Omega Supreme and Predaking X.
This is amazing.
MP style? You going to improve GrimLock though? His MP Dino mode always looked odd to me....but that's just me.
MP would actually be better scale...weren't the Dinobots pretty big anyways?
enough encouragement from G1 collectors
ANYONE would buy it, I was born 10 years after G1(or so) and I watched the 86 movie JUST for Grimlock...
And I didn't really know who he was...
Plus, the combiner gimmick seems to work well on kids...RID had RUination, I only got Mega Octane but I wanted to get the rest just because they all combined...

I was thinking of leaving Grimlock "as is" he's a great figure....possibly give him LED eyes. I'll most likely give them all a little battle wear and tear.

Ah ok, I'll agree, he DOES look cool, something about the T-Rex face always bugged me personally.
Thanks for responding, didn't expect it so soon o_O
