    Aside Constructor and Zetas Superion right now, nothing fits the G1 bill for various reasons, ergo my answer (and already owing the mentioned) is none.

    I don't want what's out there now.

    I just want someone to make some combiners other than :

    6 construction vehicles (the CW is an okay mp scale stand in, for me)
    5 jets (I've heard about FT Aerialbots breaking)
    4 "stunt" cars and a tractor trailer... (Ditto)

    But then there's 75 different companies making the three mentioned above. So yeah.

    Where's monstructor, computron, abominus, landcross...anyone else that combines, in the mp scale?

    Rid Railracer!!!

    One of the best and more original combiners.

    And really want a FT Devy. But they need to finish up Superion and Menasor first!

    And maybe a white/grey camo version of Bruticus

    I own the original RID Rail Racer, but is there a Masterpiece scale version? If so, I don’t know it.

    I don't like how TW Constructor proportions look. I don't get why another company won't attempt their own version of Devy.

    I'd buy the ones that I liked the most, visually. Taste being subjective, and all.

    Well said, this is my subjective taste list of favourites:

    1. ToyWorld Devastator - Perfect Version (make your own green thighs easily if you want)
    2. FansToys Superion
    3. Custom Bruticus with Zeta body and legs with Unique Toys arms (also Unique Toys legs look great too but more work with ugly 3D printed parts)
    4. FansToys Menasor will be amazing Im sure when it's all released.


    I wish someone would make a Dinoking MP scale to TW Devastator. G-Creations Shuraking is the closest but looks off with the tiny head and just too small.

    I like how people are claiming Fanstoys combiners will be great even though they aren't out yet.

    With how heavy the limb bots are alone I would have doubts on if the combined mode would go well seeing how long they're taking (and assuming they don't do stuff like limiting the articulation for no reason cause fuck you I guess).

    It really depends on whether you're a display guy or a toy guy.

    If I didn’t already have it, MMC’s Assaultus. Of what else is available, whichever of the devastates was the super detailed one, don’t remember the name. Or I’d save the money for MMC’s defensor.

    hoping mmc does computron next.

    Dude, since you're still agitated because of my post, let me elaborate further. The reason I have suggested waiting for a FT release of a new Devastator has personal reasons. I don't like combiners in general and I'm quite happy with my CHUGsterpieces (Feralcons, Ordin, Warbotron etc) and the XTB Stunticons, displayed in single bot mode. I also have CW Devy but I'd love a set of toon accurate, better proportioned and built individual Constructicons because they're the only combiners that mean something to me. The TW set takes many liberties from the source material and has many reported QC issues. Other than FT I don't see any 3P company attempting those specific characters in a toon centric way anytime in the foreseeable future. The 3P G1 MP scene is slowly dying and shifting to other projects. It might take FT up to 10 years to deliver but I believe that one day they'll produce 6 pretty nice looking and overpriced green bots. There will be issues and I also think stability in combined mode might be a problem. Since I do not care about the latter I do not give a shit. So this is not about any type of fanboyism you're trying to read in my expression of opinion. I just have selfish reasons. Since that's what I want in my life, I'm trying to manipulate others to generate that very same wish. ;)  I hope you can live with that and sleep better from now on. Now let's hear other people's suggestions to the central question of this thread please.

    There is going be a Raiden though, if you like trains (know it's not the same)

    Maybe they might do a "Railracer" themed recolor

    I’m a pose and display guy. I doubt I’ll transform the robots more than twice.
