Would you want to see Dinobots combining?

After reading the current RID Annual, it's interesting how IDW Monstructor has those freakish little arms - was the design influenced by 'The Beast'?

IDW artists does do a very good job at carrying off the freaky idea

I'm going to say no they should not combine, it's just not the Dinobot way.

Let those other teams of big wussbots combine the Dinobots are too tough for that.

Besides the Dinobots are all big fans of personal space, you can barely get them to stand in arms reach of each other without a brawl ensuing, let alone combining.

Never.



Ever.


I have always found the idea of a G1 Dinobot combiner repellent. There are countless subgroups that don't combine, there's no reason why the Dinobots should and gestalts always result in weaker individual toys. I hate the concept so much that if they do make an official G1 Dinobot gestalt toy, then as of this moment I intend that to be my cue to drop Transformers forever. One of the reasons why the Dinobots are so awesome is because they have heart and guts and don't need to combine into some lame gestalt robot to kick butt. Anyone who's ever read Marvel #27/UK #111–112 (versus Trypticon), UK #135–136 (versus the Predacons) or Maximum Dinobots (versus Shockwave and Scorponok) should appreciate that. Leave the Dinobots alone!



I would particularly hate something like that - it's not even a proper combiner, just a huge mass of kibble with some Dinobots stuck onto it.

I couldn't agree more.

I'd like to see it done once properly. Then leave it alone. I find the concept interesting and think it would be a great toy if executed if some thought.
But thats all. I don't want any story. Just 1 toy

Probably inspired by the actual Monstructor toy itself. re: Slog's arms.

I was all for it - sounded cool initially - but the more responses I read, the more I agree that the Dinobots are awesome in their own right. So mine's a 'Never' vote.

There is always Dino-king if you want combining dinosaurs.
I do like the look of that big custom, but it does look a bit like he's being attacked by a bunch of horny dinosaurs. (sludge especially)
In the comic strip it doesn't look like they want to combine and i'm not comfortable with it if they're not comfortable with it.

Not really. The only thing "dino" about Dino-Force are their outer shells. The robots themselves transform into mechanical monsters. Like Gouryuu's shell is a T-Rex, but the robot is... whatever the hell monster Icepick transforms into. That.
