    That's perfect, the Dark Shuraking killed my wallet for fun monies this month though. Would ya feel like holding on to Doccat until June? I'm definitely interested!

    He's super wobbly, but the individual dinobots are super stable. I don't like the peg system or the parts forming though.

    Rodimus needs an SG Autobot symbol, not a Decepticon one...:)

    Yup, that's the one. Certainly not my best custom, but it works well enough.

    That's where the Toyhax set will do wonders, I just have to wait for it to get here along with the SG Optimus set.

    I also need to get the Shockwave Labs upgrade that fixes the shoulders a bit.

    They did a set for the MP-10 SG to doll him up a bit.

    I'm unsure exactly how well it scales, but on the topic of SG Combiners, there's TFC's Perseus, the white and red repaint of Hercules/ their devastator.

    That's a shame, he's too short :( . For MP scale he should be around 19". That color scheme is perfect though, they even named it with S. G. :D

    ...Not a third party figure, but well, Decepticon Mirage from the Netflix line at Walmart is perfect as a SG Mirage.

    Not really. SG Mirage is really invisible with the only panel showing something of him been a brownish tint (unless I remember it wrong).

    So far Options are scarce. I am doing my Autobots in SG and most are standins (Delta Magnus for example).

    You have an option for Rodimus in Dx9 Terror, I used the Voodoo black Ironhide, Blue Bluestreak MirrorVerse Transistor and that Upscaled KO of throttlebot Bee.

    From then on its mostly customs. You can use Ratchet with purple crosses and green horns for example and paint Prowls head black etc etc.

    I have a half finished repainted Wheeljack that I need to comeback to now that I remembered it ....

    Individual bots are not Mp scaled though are they? (Asking dont know for sure).

    Kind of... about 1/2 cm off depending on the dinobot according to the Sunbow scale chart. The official MP line is full of discrepancies like that anyways though. View attachment 28661416

    Maybe, think it through at that price point. I definitely see them through rose tinted glasses. Volcanicus is pretty unstable once combined. It can't really be helped with a combiner that size given each limb is a MP scale figure. That said, I was trying to pose it on a glass surface. Grimlock's alt and combiner transformations are clunky, and confusing at first. But, after a few run throughs I got the hang of it. Slug's combiner mode is too short so you have to compensate with the parts-forming foot or Volcanicus will have a major limp.
    All in all, I love the set but I don't think it is worth $500.
