Overall the combining gimmick is a neat touch and it looks pretty alright. But these guys shine in their dino modes and bot modes (excluding swoop) Thanks again for reviewing these! I have been really on the fence about this set. Especially with them being quite costly. But I think I will start investing in these guys now. Nice updated G1 looking Dinobots.
Maybe as a physical piece does not work, but conceptually is my childhood dream come true. I would have loved to have seen something like that in the 80's cartoons, but at least I now know what the Combined Dinobots would look like lol. Anyway, in the end, you're right, Dinobots as they are are perfectly fine. Excellent video!!
Kanonelsebas none of the 80's combiners worked well as possible figures. Back then we used imagination to play with them. I think this set is perfect. Like you said, it's a childhood dream.
I don't like the idea of Dinobots being Combiners. As a kid I always liked how the Dinobots were so powerful that they could take out almost any foe, including a combiner.
I think it's fine. This is one of the best, if not the best Dinobot combiner out there. The 'shiny' gold elements are not on the other combiner bots. With each Dino being 100 to 200 bucks these days this isn't the type of toy some kid should be playing with. This is a collector bot. You build it, you pose it in a display case then tell all your friends how cool it is when they come over. Can you put it in a dynamic pose? Absolutely, but you may need a stand. You know what? oh well. Your display case lights are going to shine down on this thing and impress everyone - that's the meaning of this $600+ bot. Keep your expectations correct if you are going to get this thing and you'll be fine.
the setup of the combined mode very much reminds me of predaking, having the larger two herbivores as legs the flyer as the left arm and the wings on the back as well as grimlock's dino head forming the chest and oh my god that stock face is so damn derpy i might just keep it with that to look at when i need a good laugh, sucks that it didnt execute well but i like the point you made about how these big bots just cant work very well, and the fact that they dont need to have a combined trump card when they are such a strong team
DaltiniansTfs My idea for a Dinobot combiner aka: Dinoking I thought Slag and Sludge for the legs, Snarl and Swoop for the arms. Swoop's wings as the back of the Dinobot combiner. Concept wise I thought Snarl for one arm would have the spikes alongside the arm and the three bottom spikes of the tail on the knuckles. Swoop arm would have the two missiles on the fore arms to shoot. Sludge for a foot, so when he stomps causes earthquakes. Slag his head with the horns for the lower front part of the leg, so when he kicks is similar to him ramming enemies.
Laughed in his face, at his face! He was all Sunstreaker-y whiny about it too "Not the face ok?" I wasn't planning to watch this because I have no need for these but I'm glad I did. Needed that laughter man thanks!
So I own the zeta toys version of this and I always wondered what’s the difference and from what I can tell is the gold chrome I’m guessing. Anything else?
Great review as always. I like the individual bots(minus swoop) but this combine mode is a train wreck. When I put mine together, my son told me that I had an "Undertaker just lost at Wrestlemania face". I can only imagine how good these could have been if they omitted the combine mode. oh well.
Great review. I do agree. these guys don't need to combine. Between all of the things they have done in the shows and the comics, there really is nothing for them to prove. I do hope to one day have the fans toys Dinobots. they seem to be the best representation of the group. I have tesla and Grenadier on the way right now. this hobby uses money like life uses time. there is never enough of it. again great review. I think you are about the only reviewer I have seen that will point out everything that is wrong with a figure. helps out when choosing what to pick up.
Perfect tagline for this video: A necessary review for an unnecessary combiner. Also, idea for a new drinking game: Every time something comes loose or falls off, take a drink.
I'm with you on dinobots not combining even though it does have certain fascinating. They look very chaotic my eyes don't even know where to look. Will be interesting to see how Gcreations combiner turns out. like always great review
1. I hope Planet X Vulcan gets released this month, before Christmas. 2. As far as this combiner is concerned, I heard that ToyWorld is suppose to have a fix for the Combiner ports on Grimlock's shoulders where the flaps go down instead of up, should fix the problem. 3. Looks like GCreations is gonna win over this one, since it's combiner ports look better, whereas this one just pegs in, at the knees & feet... 4. Overall, not a bad looking combiner, just looks busy, as you said, feel like ToyWorld could've done a lot better on this. If they start a new combiner, I'd hope they would learn from their past from this one. 5. Lastly, dinobots look great individually, looks very G1 accurate & very spot on.
*pours shot of Jack Daniels* just to get through the video :) Good god that is a scary combiner, I'm glad I'm happy with my FOC Dinos for my Classics collection.
Great review and love the honesty especially about the troubles in combining them as they are supposed to be kids toys not just collectibles. All I could see is the anger and frustration on my boy's face trying to transform and combine them to play only to have the thing fall apart every five seconds :(
Honest review man I agree as a team they look good and could create a good looking g1 team on the shelf. Like you said dinobots don't combine and it was turning into the leaning tower of dinobots at one point in the video. The combiner head at first made grimlock look some sort of venom from Spider-Man wannabe. I'm glad they had attachments to tidy it up. It does look very messy and you did very well to pose it at the end of the video. Keep up the good work man
Bobby, as always great review! I don't like the dino bots as a combiner set, the dino bots are better as a separate team, I will be building my dino bot set via Gigga power!
I'm one of those OG G1 fans that always DID want the Dinobots to be able to form a gestalt combiner. I mean come on, it only makes sense when all of your enemies and competition can do a certain skill, how else are you going to keep up? It's either that or the Dinobots continue to get their asses kicked by Devastator (the weakest combiner). You have to adapt. It's like the NFL...if all the other teams start using the shotgun, don't you think your team should too? That said, I'm not too pleased with this model. The more recent Volcanicus release is much better. EDIT: you do make a good point about the difficulty of stacking big, brawling monsters but it works for the Terrorcons - and I always saw those monsters as being the same size as the Dinobots (at least going off the G1 Cartoon).
I disagree that Devastator is the weakest combiner... he tangos with Omega Supreme fairly regularly and he's able to hold his own which is impressive especially considering that Omega Supreme is one of the if not the most powerful Autobot(s) (and my personal favorite)
Individual bots they look alright. Combining them must have tortured you? Lets add that even if you succeed in combining them, It doesn't feel rewarding when you look at it😆 Thumbs up for the effort though👍
If and when you do a review of the GCreations Combiner, I'd like to hear your opinion on how they handled the 'Dinobots can combine now' aspect compared to this one, cos theirs look pretty promising, IMO
dude well said and my thoughts exaclty, dinos are a team, they dont need to combine to kicks some ass. i got this set cuz of their indivdual bot modes, they look amazing to me personally. As a combiner this set felt like it should have never combined, but thats what ppl want. I never was really into combiners anyway so they will stay as a team, which i love the look of! esp for my chug collection. Great review man, u know your stuff and i appericate ur videos in general!
There seems to be so many Dinobot sets out there and they are far down my que but eventually I will be getting a set (or two) .. Maybe you could have a sit down/stand up Saturday about all of the Dinobot sets available, the past, what you would like to see in the future for third party Dinobots and of course add what your ultimate recommendation for all five Dinobots is. Whether it is one character picked from different lines. It would be very interesting to get all your takes. I see this video has over 130,000 views. That is a lot my friend. I will be passing on this set but I am not sure for what yet.
Great review man, Im not big on combining this figure, but i do like the chug scale. like the chrome and silver and as a team they look great. I have the planet x dinos but i wanted to get these as a more classic look . Another option is the shirking set but they are taking forever to get them all out. Thanks for the hard work man.
Thank god for the faceplate. Feels like a neat idea but any combiner port without a locking-mechanism of any sort is pretty much doomed to failure. Don't count on friction.
i bought these for the robot modes and they look great as a CHUG display as a team. got them displayed with Toyworld Orion and when completed, the Warbotron Computron. its a real good display. but i already forgot about the combined mode. dosnt exist to me
If you're going for best combiner mode, GCreations all the way. It fulfills the decades old need for a true Dino combiner. :D (I'm not saying this one is bad, it's great, but GC is better in combiner mode.)
glad I went with Toyworld's Throttlebots for my unnecessary combining team instead of these. Might still pick them up someday if I see a good deal though.....
After seeing this im a bit more thankful I went with the Gcreation dino's, granted even individually (which I will likely keep them) I think they look better then Toyworlds so clear choice there but that's just me :p
Honestly this thing's problems sort of fit in with the Dinobot combiner from the TF comics imo. The Beast was a hot mess once Grimlock and co. combined and his limbs looked ridiculously out of proportion to his body etc., just like you see here with the thin upper legs but giant lower legs, parts wanting to fall off and all. That "stupid-looking face" as you referred to it is a clear homage to The Beast as well, who when combined had a large toothy mouth. I still wouldn't buy it as I know it has its problems, but I recognize the sort-of inspiration for the figure, which is in legit TF lore.
Man, comparing this to the Throttlebot combiner, and I wonder what happened. This thing has two of my biggest pet peeves in a combiner, slider joints, and dangling limbs with no where to go.
Dont mean to sound negative but I was interested in getting this collector's volcanicus but seem it falls apart easily.. since I seen this video, well done by the way. Think I'm just gonna get the cheaper version with the tcw-06 upgrade kit and save some bucks..
Good review,and I do agree the combiner plug ins should have been better more so the thighs that brings down the combiner mode. Everything else I dont mind as I see Toyworld went with a "what if" G1 dinobots could combine it would resemble this I cant hate on that idea. I got the set myself and love it in there bot modes the set looks beautiful,hopefully someone makes a upgrade kit for the weak thighs i really hope so. But yeah as a set its worth it since Im a G1 fan.
If you could choose one company to make an dinobot combiner wich would that be? Like you said in the review they work,as a team and not as a combiner but see it as an extra perk 😛.
Just a heads up after watching Other reviews Grim shell has hidden tabs inside his feet that tab into the legs to make the combiners legs more stable .
I know I'm a couple years late (I'm binge-watching your videos to catch up), but... Ugh! This thing looks terrible. Personally, the reason I love the Dinobot team so much is that they can stand against other teams without the need to combine. Many would say that puts them at a disadvantage, but I disagree 100%. They can split up and basically surround a combiner. And they are so powerful in their own individual modes that they can take on combiners as they are. Sure... they are slow (except for Swoop), but their sheer brute strength and toughness compensate for any lack of speed. They are a dino wrecking crew and they should never, ever combine. I think of this set more like something you find at a curiosity shop than actual transformer figures. lol But that's just my personal opinion. That said... I may not like this set, but I do appreciate you took the time to make a video review of them.
Ever since they used a hologram to trick Devastator and have all of the dinobots and autobots fire at him, I have wanted to see a combiner of the dinobots.
Actually bobby, this combiner is actually the improved version of the tfc star cats dino combiners >< Have a look at the similarities! The tfc starcat dinos were actually an unfinished design sold to a chinese company, toyworld took the designs, went ahead and completed it!
I honestly thought this set would drive to your therapist given the rage level you where showing here. Hmm shame, i won't deny i have always had my heart set on a Dinobot combiner, though i love them separate and kicking ass as a team despite the other Autobots saying they are violent idiots (and hey, who else but Grimlock could save the galaxy by pressing a button at the right time). Still this set really botch the combiner aspect, the Gcreations take seems to be doing better though so there is still hope and they do look rather fierce (though i wished they would fix the guns so they are the same instead of the mirror thing they got going).
It looks like the got rid of that waist hinge, that plagued the Hasbro volcanicus,and torments me and my son...but it looks like it has similar hip joint issues that only allow an easy a stance...I WILL NOT BE BUYING THIS ONE as i will wait for a newer make .....the whole dinobot combiner is a newer addition(i.e devestator,bruticus etc) to the line and am excited to see what it will become when its a "finished product"....I'll be keeping my hasbro as an original and will be getting the better one that comes down the line
+Bobby ”Skullface” Skullface L I like the concept of a Dinobot combiner and this looks pretty sweet overall I think. But it's just falling apart when you touch it, and that's a solid dealbreaker for me.
I laughed the same way when I saw that head sculpt for the combined mode.
+quintin tabura lol, yea that took me by surprise
Overall the combining gimmick is a neat touch and it looks pretty alright. But these guys shine in their dino modes and bot modes (excluding swoop) Thanks again for reviewing these! I have been really on the fence about this set. Especially with them being quite costly. But I think I will start investing in these guys now. Nice updated G1 looking Dinobots.
+NickSandwichGames totally agree!

I don't need them to combine. I won't combine them. It's just nice to know that my Dinobot's could if I wanted to. Keep up the good work Bobby
+Kevin White hahaha i hear you man, and thanks!
I don't like the idea of Dinobots being Combiners. As a kid I always liked how the Dinobots were so powerful that they could take out almost any foe, including a combiner.
I totally agree
I'm incredibly glad I skipped on this 5 years ago. I didn't realize I've been following your channel for at least 6 years
I think it's fine. This is one of the best, if not the best Dinobot combiner out there. The 'shiny' gold elements are not on the other combiner bots. With each Dino being 100 to 200 bucks these days this isn't the type of toy some kid should be playing with. This is a collector bot.

Head reveal causes laughter.
It was then I realized what a hot mess of a combiner we were in for.
lol
LoLoLoL!
They're great when they're all separated.
However, the POTP Volcanicus is better than Toyworld Dinobots combined together...
the setup of the combined mode very much reminds me of predaking, having the larger two herbivores as legs the flyer as the left arm and the wings on the back as well as grimlock's dino head forming the chest and oh my god that stock face is so damn derpy i might just keep it with that to look at when i need a good laugh, sucks that it didnt execute well but i like the point you made about how these big bots just cant work very well, and the fact that they dont need to have a combined trump card when they are such a strong team

Way to power through that. At least the combined head was worth a chuckle.
+Steve Fillion lol, thats how it felt lol, like i had to power through it
Laughed in his face, at his face! He was all Sunstreaker-y whiny about it too "Not the face ok?" I wasn't planning to watch this because I have no need for these but I'm glad I did. Needed that laughter man thanks!
+DrewsiferXXX hahahaha my pleasure
can't wait for your toyworld Constructicons video. so interested in that set. still getting gravity builder to go with the new menasor.
+Hoang Nguyen yea, im very curious
+Bobby “Skullface” Skullface L I thought it looked cool
So I own the zeta toys version of this and I always wondered what’s the difference and from what I can tell is the gold chrome I’m guessing. Anything else?
Great review as always. I like the individual bots(minus swoop) but this combine mode is a train wreck. When I put mine together, my son told me that I had an "Undertaker just lost at Wrestlemania face". I can only imagine how good these could have been if they omitted the combine mode. oh well.

Like they said in Barnyard, "Duuuude I got an arm!!!" XD

I do hope to one day have the fans toys Dinobots. they seem to be the best representation of the group.

+Eugene Robledo agrred, and thanks man
Which combiner would you say is worse? This or TFC Ares?
+GDdiggerz ares, this can stand ;)
1. I hope Planet X Vulcan gets released this month, before Christmas.
2. As far as this combiner is concerned, I heard that ToyWorld is suppose to have a fix for the Combiner ports on Grimlock's shoulders where the flaps go down instead of up, should fix the problem.

+Smoke screen good points, we'll see how it all shakes out
Indeed.
*pours shot of Jack Daniels* just to get through the video :)
Good god that is a scary combiner, I'm glad I'm happy with my FOC Dinos for my Classics collection.
+kalron27 hahahaha
Surprised the original Dinobots were not combiners. Kid's could have gone completely insane for them.
Maybe to OP :)
i think what made them cool is that they didnt have to combine to take down the big bads,
I'm so glad you did this, now I wont have to combine them myself. They are staying separate on my shelf :p
+Cyphus54 good call!
Bobby skullface just share your opinion,this TW TD dinobot better than other dinobot or not.
Great review and love the honesty especially about the troubles in combining them as they are supposed to be kids toys not just collectibles. All I could see is the anger and frustration on my boy's face trying to transform and combine them to play only to have the thing fall apart every five seconds :(
yea these are definitely not intended for children. my kids would destroy these in seconds lol
Well then the quest continues to find my son some G1 Dinobots. Once again great video :)
Good comments on Dinobots not really needing a combined form inherently, etc. etc.
+MultiJamesman thanks man
Honest review man I agree as a team they look good and could create a good looking g1 team on the shelf. Like you said dinobots don't combine and it was turning into the leaning tower of dinobots at one point in the video. The combiner head at first made grimlock look some sort of venom from Spider-Man wannabe. I'm glad they had attachments to tidy it up. It does look very messy and you did very well to pose it at the end of the video. Keep up the good work man
+David Argile thanks man, and thanks for watching
Bobby, as always great review! I don't like the dino bots as a combiner set, the dino bots are better as a separate team, I will be building my dino bot set via Gigga power!
+JL G nice! and thanks
This makes me nervous on how well TWs Devy will stay together, too.
+eyescovered me too
Little did these two know, Toyworld would make the Devastator that corners the market on Devastator.
gcreations one looks great though can't wait to get the last one.
I'm anxious to check him out as well
I'm one of those OG G1 fans that always DID want the Dinobots to be able to form a gestalt combiner. I mean come on, it only makes sense when all of your enemies and competition can do a certain skill, how else are you going to keep up? It's either that or the Dinobots continue to get their asses kicked by Devastator (the weakest combiner). You have to adapt. It's like the NFL...if all the other teams start using the shotgun, don't you think your team should too? That said, I'm not too pleased with this model. The more recent Volcanicus release is much better. EDIT: you do make a good point about the difficulty of stacking big, brawling monsters but it works for the Terrorcons - and I always saw those monsters as being the same size as the Dinobots (at least going off the G1 Cartoon).
I disagree that Devastator is the weakest combiner... he tangos with Omega Supreme fairly regularly and he's able to hold his own which is impressive especially considering that Omega Supreme is one of the if not the most powerful Autobot(s) (and my personal favorite)
I hate to say this for a 3rd party transformer but those are actually pretty cool
Individual bots they look alright. Combining them must have tortured you? Lets add that even if you succeed in combining them, It doesn't feel rewarding when you look at it😆 Thumbs up for the effort though👍
exactly
Wow, looks as stable as the Dinobot combiner from Energon.
+nujevad28 lol
If and when you do a review of the GCreations Combiner, I'd like to hear your opinion on how they handled the 'Dinobots can combine now' aspect compared to this one, cos theirs look pretty promising, IMO
+Joeyz1231 absolutely will
I knew this was gonna be good as soon as I saw what you were looking at. the worst figures bring the best out in you! combined mode YIKES
+mantis999999999 lol, many thanks dude as usual
dude well said and my thoughts exaclty, dinos are a team, they dont need to combine to kicks some ass. i got this set cuz of their indivdual bot modes, they look amazing to me personally. As a combiner this set felt like it should have never combined, but thats what ppl want. I never was really into combiners anyway so they will stay as a team, which i love the look of! esp for my chug collection. Great review man, u know your stuff and i appericate ur videos in general!
+Orieus thanks for the kind words man
np man keep it up
There seems to be so many Dinobot sets out there and they are far down my que but eventually I will be getting a set (or two) .. Maybe you could have a sit down/stand up Saturday about all of the Dinobot sets available, the past, what you would like to see in the future for third party Dinobots and of course add what your ultimate recommendation for all five Dinobots is. Whether it is one character picked from different lines. It would be very interesting to get all your takes.
I see this video has over 130,000 views. That is a lot my friend. I will be passing on this set but I am not sure for what yet.
yea it picked up out of the blue like 8 months ago out of nowhere. craziest thing
Great review man, Im not big on combining this figure, but i do like the chug scale. like the chrome and silver and as a team they look great. I have the planet x dinos but i wanted to get these as a more classic look . Another option is the shirking set but they are taking forever to get them all out. Thanks for the hard work man.
+Hector Calicdan thanks man, and yea i'll continue to look at the g-creations ones as well
Thank god for the faceplate. Feels like a neat idea but any combiner port without a locking-mechanism of any sort is pretty much doomed to failure. Don't count on friction.
+VRHyoumaru amen, it seems like it tries to lock, it just doesnt
what do you feel about this compare to the GCreation set?
As soon as I can combine the gcreations set I'll will definitely let you know
Bobby Skullface L thx
Hi bob i always wondered as a kid if the dinobots could combine,now they can!!this fella is not the one for me,but good try,thx and take care.
+jackticon thanks for watching
Do you think that the toyworld Devy will be better ?
+Nightwingnum1 i hope
A shame that this combiner isn't as sturdy as it should be. I had really high hopes for this one! I guess it'll be Shuraking that I'll be copping!
+Afotey Annum we'll see how that one goes lol
which third party predaking scales well to the dinobot combiner
MMC Feral Rex
Toyworld is reissuing Dinoking do u think that they fix some of the issues???
No they're not, zeta toys is
Grimlock ate King Kong and apparently didn't agree with his stomach. lol
LatexNLipstick Addict lol
Best summary I could make. The combined face looks like freaking King Kong.
i bought these for the robot modes and they look great as a CHUG display as a team. got them displayed with Toyworld Orion and when completed, the Warbotron Computron. its a real good display. but i already forgot about the combined mode. dosnt exist to me
+chrisugs78 u hahahahaha
looks really cool, im kinda late but i bought grimshell roar and muddy. on the hunt for spear and iron dreg
way better than the one shown in the beast within
argindoul quite possibly*
+Bobby “Skullface” Skullface L quite indeed
*shivers*
If you're going for best combiner mode, GCreations all the way. It fulfills the decades old need for a true Dino combiner. :D
(I'm not saying this one is bad, it's great, but GC is better in combiner mode.)
No, this one is bad lol. I'll be looking at the g-creations soon
+Bobby “Skullface” Skullface L Hahaha wow really? That sucks. Now I wonder what you'll say about the GCreations version.
THE BEAST AKA DINOBOT COMBINER!?!?!?!
Volcanicus
Don't you hate it when they mess up the accessories. where the hell is his toothbrush.
+Phoenix Richardson lol
Are these the ones that Zeta are going to rerelease as part of their line?
same mold different deco
glad I went with Toyworld's Throttlebots for my unnecessary combining team instead of these. Might still pick them up someday if I see a good deal though.....
+Greg F (That Bespectacled Pegasus) lol, i hear you
brings back lots of good memories! just subscribed👍
welcome my friend
After seeing this im a bit more thankful I went with the Gcreation dino's, granted even individually (which I will likely keep them) I think they look better then Toyworlds so clear choice there but that's just me :p
i think G-Creations is the better set for combined mode for sure
wow that's awesome dinobot combiner
Leslie Watkins if you think so :)
Honestly this thing's problems sort of fit in with the Dinobot combiner from the TF comics imo. The Beast was a hot mess once Grimlock and co. combined and his limbs looked ridiculously out of proportion to his body etc., just like you see here with the thin upper legs but giant lower legs, parts wanting to fall off and all.

Man, comparing this to the Throttlebot combiner, and I wonder what happened.
This thing has two of my biggest pet peeves in a combiner, slider joints, and dangling limbs with no where to go.
+Coboxite yep
Dont mean to sound negative but I was interested in getting this collector's volcanicus but seem it falls apart easily.. since I seen this video, well done by the way. Think I'm just gonna get the cheaper version with the tcw-06 upgrade kit and save some bucks..
Still looks more accurate to the game than the hasbro one, still probably either getting that one or shuraking
i reviewed the shuraking as well if interested
Good review,and I do agree the combiner plug ins should have been better more so the thighs that brings down the combiner mode. Everything else I dont mind as I see Toyworld went with a "what if" G1 dinobots could combine it would resemble this I cant hate on that idea. I got the set myself and love it in there bot modes the set looks beautiful,hopefully someone makes a upgrade kit for the weak thighs i really hope so. But yeah as a set its worth it since Im a G1 fan.
+Blaque Dragun yea, it works well for that
I'm very late viewing this video, but I'm glad I did. Better late than never I guess. Fantastic review!
Many thanks
You're welcome
Shout out from Australia - love the reviews ty mate
+Rhino MMA Australia Thanks dude!!!! stay safe out there... spiders and whatnot etc
oh did you use ruler or something?
If you could choose one company to make an dinobot combiner wich would that be? Like you said in the review they work,as a team and not as a combiner but see it as an extra perk 😛.
hmmm probably zeta
Bobby Skullface L Would be interesting to see. I hope there Bruticus and Superion will be good so we get some other combiners as wel
Just a heads up after watching Other reviews Grim shell has hidden tabs inside his feet that tab into the legs to make the combiners legs more stable .
+Bubbabearor yea i get them a bit later, the ones that swing out on a swivel?
I didn't know the dinobot a could combine do you know where too get these toys
Do a quick google of toyworld dinobots and you should find a few online retailers that carry it
as soon as I saw the combiner head, I too began laughing
lol
is Volcanicus, powerful than Menasor
How do the individual dinobots scale with the Planet X dinobots?
Perfect
I know I'm a couple years late (I'm binge-watching your videos to catch up), but... Ugh! This thing looks terrible. Personally, the reason I love the Dinobot team so much is that they can stand against other teams without the need to combine. Many would say that puts them at a disadvantage, but I disagree 100%. They can split up and basically surround a combiner. And they are so powerful in their own individual modes that they can take on combiners as they are. Sure... they are slow (except for Swoop), but their sheer brute strength and toughness compensate for any lack of speed. They are a dino wrecking crew and they should never, ever combine. I think of this set more like something you find at a curiosity shop than actual transformer figures. lol But that's just my personal opinion. That said... I may not like this set, but I do appreciate you took the time to make a video review of them.
Ever since they used a hologram to trick Devastator and have all of the dinobots and autobots fire at him, I have wanted to see a combiner of the dinobots.
well here ya go :)
Question, has any 3rd party tried to do the Trainbots from the Japanese Headmasters anime??? A Raiden set would be soooo cool.
Clifton Smith negative. And I agree
Reminds me of my friends motorcycle. pieces falling off as he drives by.
+Krommdor hahahahahaha
so whats the size comparison to some of the other 3rd party dinos
size comparison individually
+ltcali theyre basically voyager sized
I'll have to disagree with Grimlock. I think he's pretty good.
But I haven't put everything together yet because my Slag is missing his horns. Plural.
+cabutler1 sorry to hear that! hope you have a set on the way
they do look better apart,good video,just subscribed to you.
Welcome!
Transformers Combiner Couple a
Why when you type zeta toys dino kong you get toyworld dino kong do they just to be the same company can someone plz let me know
You laughing at the face crack me up 🤣
;)
awesome vid i just subed great work
Gretchen Pride thanks and welcome!
Actually bobby, this combiner is actually the improved version of the tfc star cats dino combiners >< Have a look at the similarities! The tfc starcat dinos were actually an unfinished design sold to a chinese company, toyworld took the designs, went ahead and completed it!
+Starzap00 interesting
Another top review there sir! Couldn't agree more, Dinobots shouldn't combine.
+Sam Thompson (Samsformers) thanks man
the dinos are a bad ass for the autobots and can go head-to-head with devastatier
+Dave Smith agreed
He cant get out of his own way Bobby.......will you be looking at GCreations Grimlock?
+John Lant yes sir!
Why do many dinobots have golden paint?
from their design in g1 i would guess
where can I find the whole set
Tim Miller they're sold individually on sites that carry 3rd party transformers
I love your videos
Have to agree with dalt I laughed so hard and felt so bad doing it.
+John Darkling hahahah, thats why im here
I honestly thought this set would drive to your therapist given the rage level you where showing here.
Hmm shame, i won't deny i have always had my heart set on a Dinobot combiner, though i love them separate and kicking ass as a team despite the other Autobots saying they are violent idiots (and hey, who else but Grimlock could save the galaxy by pressing a button at the right time). Still this set really botch the combiner aspect, the Gcreations take seems to be doing better though so there is still hope and they do look rather fierce (though i wished they would fix the guns so they are the same instead of the mirror thing they got going).
+James Ramirez yea, its the face that i enjoy them individually that kept me balanced
Extinción vs Devastator!
Great video I'am glad I saw this video i was going to this set I'm glad I pass on it i truly agree dino bots are not meant to combine.
It looks like the got rid of that waist hinge, that plagued the Hasbro volcanicus,and torments me and my son...but it looks like it has similar hip joint issues that only allow an easy a stance...I WILL NOT BE BUYING THIS ONE as i will wait for a newer make .....the whole dinobot combiner is a newer addition(i.e devestator,bruticus etc) to the line and am excited to see what it will become when its a "finished product"....I'll be keeping my hasbro as an original and will be getting the better one that comes down the line
do the dinobots have a robot form also
+dylan kruger yep, i show it in the first few minutes of the vid
where can I buy the dinobot combined
Leslie Watkins any good blind retailer that specializes in 3rd party transformers. It will run you around 500.00
Wow. That's a flimsy piece of schmutz. Now way you could play with that!
+Creeping Normalcy i agree
+Bobby ”Skullface” Skullface L I like the concept of a Dinobot combiner and this looks pretty sweet overall I think. But it's just falling apart when you touch it, and that's a solid dealbreaker for me.
this is extinction combiner dinobots? THE NAME OF THE ROBOT,THANKS
GOUKOJIN it was never officially named by the company
nice review grimlock:me grimlock got bling bling
thanks man
