    So they gave him a tighter ass peg hole... I wonder why the old one looked like that.

    Maybe he spent time with Kingdom Dinobot...

    The peg hole isnt tighter, its the same size 5mm. the plastic around it is thicker so it doesnt crack like on the original release

    Soooo, I got this guy yesterday.

    My only issue is the forward lean/stability. If you lean him back he won't fall over; but it is frustrating. Still a beautiful pink team

    They still don’t have Volcanicus yet, and he was released last month. They also still don’t have DA-65 (Diaclone Battle Convoy) either.

    Haven't paid enough attention to this set, and had no idea the new chest piece wasn't something that could just cover the original chest, but is the actual chest for the combined mode, and without it there's nothing really there...

    Not really liking that.

    Am I crazy or isn't that normal for all these combiners. Even Devastator as a front chest plate that hide a big hollow spot. I am not giving Hasbro a pass, but at the same time, this is standard or am I misunderstanding you?

    Most of the Generations scramble combiners have had built in chest parts, even the original release of Abominus.

    Chest parts meaning a shield or covering that hides a cavity in the chest? If that's what you mean, that is what I was saying. If not, then I am confused what chest parts mean.

    The combiner chest parts for the POTP version is on Hun-grrr's legs and connect for the combined mode, but aren't present on this version which leaves a gap where a chest should be.

    I'd still like a remold into Monstructor. He would be a seven bot combiner.

    Slog, Icepick and Scowl would be remolded from Blot.
    Wildfly would be Cutthroat with the unused Wildfly head.
    Bristleback and Birdbrain would be remolded from Sinnertwin
    Hydrax is a new character, repainted from Hun-Grr based on the Bot Shots Hydrax who would have shared his mold with Hun-Gurrr.


    Bristleback and Birdbrain would become Monstructor's feet, making the smallest G1 combiner the third largest (Devastator and Predaking being the largest two).

    I mean, I suppose it depends on how much you prefer integrated combiner kibble on the individual bots or not. It seems very much personal preference unless one option makes the combiner overly ugly.
