    Leg looks a bit chunky but will be interesting to see if the other limbs help balance it out. But he's the opposite of the spindly PotP Volcanicus which is nice.

    IMO this is going to make a killer Monstructor.

    The leg looks chunky, but maybe when the other limbs are attatched the propportions are much better.

    Yea, they look like shit, but hey. Mini Dinobots that can somehow make a combiner. I'm still all in regardless of looks. If they're fun, that's what counts

    This will be an adorable little Volcanicus, and a nice little Dinoking. I hope one day they do retool it into Monstructor.

    So people are breaking their necks spending $60+ for a [email protected] quality combined mode that won't even be taller than SIEGE Optimus...?

    Okay then, just don't be mad at me for not being suckered into buying one.

    As for Monstructor and Dinoking. Give me a REAL CW sized one (or taller) with quality features and articulation for $180.00 just like I paid for Legacy Menasor!

    Hell, just make them a team of 4 Deluxe (limbs) and two respectable Voyager class figures that make up the torso.

    I'm starting to think the budget + combiner applications really hurt the potential of these core-class toys.

    It is kind of an odd choice given that many of us use the CORE figs to put with/play with actual combiners and really sell the combiner's size.

    I like toys that are fun. The first two core Dinobots are fun. I'll keep going!

    That is rather crazy when you factor in the price as a whole...Doesn't help that it honestly doesn't look that great.

    I still like the concept of a Core class combiner...But maybe they should have done an actual established design...Like a Devastator...Though even well made, that still would have come to $60 in the end.

    I'll buy this as Dinoking. I have a hard time getting excited for it otherwise.

    It’s obvious that this will be a monstructor/dinoking. But would like a bigger, better mold for the monster pretenders. This is pretty lack luster to me.

    Actually enjoyed Slug and Sludge a lot more than I was expecting so looking forward to picking up Grim and the others, don't really go in on combiners so nice to have one that won't take up so much space.

    No interest in Dinoking/Monstructor though, lol
