So, in order to attract casual sales and for the sake of having a display only toy, they're losing my sale and potentially the sale of other core Transformer fans who are looking for scale compatibility?

As far back as I can remember, the Predacons and the Dinobots have always been rivals, in the comic, animated show, Transformers Earth Wars and Power of the Primes machinma, they're always fighting in team based warfare.
So it is only natural to expect someone who has both sets to put them together and thus, an inconsistent scale format is a colossal mistake, especially when comparing their combined forms.

In this specific case, the solution is quite simple, all I have to do is get a G1 reissue set of Predaking instead, as I think their scale in combined form is close enough to what I want.
Currently exploring some trade/purchasing options towards that goal.


I'm not exactly a fan of third party options when it comes to Combiners, because in most of the cases I've seen, they're even worse then the official toys in being abnormally large.
My brain is already going into research data overload just trying to remember all the names and size comparisons.

In most cases, I can't even find a video or photo showing the third party products together with either Victorion/Torchbearers or Volcanicus/Dinobots, so I have to guesstimate.
FYI, those are the ones I use as my scale benchmark, since that's where my significant collecting started.
You greatly overestimate your worth, if this was was such a bad idea then it would have died after Devastator's release. Instead they've released Predaking and have Omega Supreme as well; hardly the actions of a decision that alienates their fans.

You need to accept that Hasbro does not cater to people like you 100%. You are part of their target audience but if they only catered to the hardcore then Transformers as a franchise would be considerably smaller than it is now.
