While still very early on, mock up shots of a Dinosaur based combiner, loosely resembling the Dinobots (or at least their animal-modes), is in the works from TFC Toys.
Check out images of the proposed Combinosaur after the break.
UPDATE: More pictures have come to light of the individual dinos, all from ACToys. There are CAD designs for the T-Rex, Triceratops and Pterodactyl, plus finished renders of the T-Rex. Click here and here for the original sources. 2005 Boards member ki1983ng informs me that these are indeed intended to be third party Dinobots who can combine to form The Beast, but everything is currently still in the planning phase.

One of the problems with the search engine on TFW2005 is if you search for "Dinobots" and the title says "not-Dinobots" it will not match as it's looking for whole word matches.
BTW, a few years back I grabbed as many early development and prototype images as I could from this thread and put them on the pages for these toys on Wikialpha. So you can go there to see the early renders and prototype images that are mostly broken links in this thread.
Stuff like this:

The brand name 变形之星 (Transform Star) is the same as this recent g1 metroplex KO:
KO G1 Metroplex
Are they Jinjiang under a new name or did this new company buy these molds?
Maybe "Jinjiang Dinobots" would've been more accurate but now it seems there is a brand change so I'm not sure.
Curium
I haven't been able to find this thread in years, the title is not really useful for searching. Is there a good name we can use to update the thread title with to make it easier to find?

I saw this box set on AliExpress.

Anyone notice the colors on the 4th swoop color are like the inner robot on Yokuryu?

Looks like we have a fourth color version. This one is the most kiddie friendly one yet!
Love the pink Slag.

Necrobump!
Saw the TFC designed Swoop on Ebay via a UK seller so decided to finally pick one of these guys up.
Been following the threads for these TFC designs over the years so a quick impulse buy mainly as this guy came with loads of the KO Junkion Blacksmith combining sword parts, more than I've seen being offered previously?
Came with a pole extension part, something which looks like a gun handle for the combined robot. One of the parts shown is moulded/fused which I haven't seen before either.

Just got the G1 recolors in a package. The colors these guys were meant to be!
Here is Wing Dragon in Swoop colors.

He came a long way from the first render!

The instructions and most pictures of his alt mode are crap. As far as I can tell this is his intended alt mode.

The instructions with this third deco still have this mistransformed mess!!

I might have to do some comparison photos with Hasbro's combiner Dinobots.

Got a pic? I'm not sure about the configuration you are talking about.

I have all 3 colours of this now – and none of them have the piece that is needed to connect the guns in the advertised configuration – I have no idea how people are doing it as on all of mine there is a huge hole and a tiny post that just isn't compatible.
HOWEVER there is a piece with one of the Junkion Blacksmith weapon kits that contains the missing adaptor to allow them to connect as shown – so I don't know how people are doing it without that part – unless the tails of the missiles is the only thing holding it together.

I'm still considering getting the AOE versions of these molds to have them as different characters compared to the POTP Dinobots like say as future members of the Dinobots after the originals are gone.
Max Tower
Anyone selling them other than Sir toys yet ?
Graft6
Thank you for that. It seems that the movie colored one looks the best in the Beast Fan Mode.
gibdozer
I had this set a long time ago, if I remember right those ports are identical to the ones on tfc Devy just a different color. Maybe you can track down a tfc port if you can't find one of these. Good luck and welcome.

Could you get a picture of the combined in the Beast Fanmode? I can't decide between this one or the movie colored one.
Max Tower
oh this is wonderful news ( a bit late mind ) but still wonderful.
I hope the release of this version is an encouragement for someone to mass-produce him a new combined mode helm and perhaps some weapons.
Speaking of which – does he come with the usual Junkion Blacksmith bits ?
SirToys
Yup, same weapons. More pics in the KO gallery.

I'm surprised it took them so long to come up with a G1 Dinobot color version. Does this one come with those Junkion Blacksmith weapons? Those combining 5mm-joint swords.
