Few things i discovered after owning this set for some time: 1.snarl can use his red backpiece as a shield in robot mode (it peg in the same way as in combiner mode) 2. If you want to make grimlocks leg mode a bit more solid you can "fan mode" it a bit by basically pointing both chest panels downwards, hooking them behind what were his robot shoulders and giving it a light squeeze (this lightly lifts the whole upper dino torso up a bit, so just point the dino head a bit downwards). This way they stay in place during posing and it overall looks better/ more cohesive

Individually they're okay, the Toyhax set helps them visually there. I know of a pair of 3D printed upgrade sets plus the DNA set coming out later this year. I went with the more expensive 3D printed kit option which has 4 hands, using the legs of each arm to give it a General Grievous/Goro setup. But those hands only hold the swords it comes with so I might get the DNA kit later & use some of its pieces. The set also comes with some gap filler parts for the small bots which really help Sludge look... less worse in robot mode. There are also individual weapon sets which give each one their sword & gun, but that can get expensive for all the sets as I think each kit costs as much as each toy, they're also 3D printed so care has to be taken with their handles.

I found a couple of good sets for this guy on ee bay - YYW-40 upgrade kit for the add on hands and feet (and some fillers for the worst of Sludge's hollow waffling on the legs) plus YYW-42 upgrade kit that adds little spacers at the knees and shoulders. Depending on how the prices are when you look the two sets together are probably in the $35-40 USD range. There is a different arms/feet set out there that has a supplementary set so you can do General Grievous arms that split bid-bicep into four, but this set looks decent and isn't as expensive even without counting the secondary pair of arm parts. (Note: I am not involved with anyone selling these or any other upgrade kits beyond having bought them to put on my Smolcanicus, just wanted to point them out since they're relevant to the video.)

With the Red Swoop they had, if they had used Slag as a base for Grimstone or Grimsnarl whatever that Styracosaurus Dinobot was called, well then we'd have gotten 2 Dinobot combiners.

I only ever got to complete Superion and Menasor from Combiner Wars because there was always at least one limb I never found for all of the others, and I never once saw ANY of the Technobots. Makes combiners decidedly frustrating and fairly unappealing to know that I'm far more likely to be left with an incomplete set than to ever find all of them figures at retail.

Seeing them next to the leader class figures makes me wonder how gigantic Volcanicus could be, if scaled right! But it will take some time until we see that officially from Hasbro. A crazy 3rd party company however could do it sooner. But back to the leader class toys. I really want Scarr as a proper leader class figure. I have anyway hope that we see other dinobots in the close future again. Just scaled right with ss86 dinobots. Slash, Scarr, IDW Strafe and not to forget Paddles could be very interesting figures we haven't seen often, if at all. The Legacy toyline is perfect for such obscure characters. And can you say no to more dinobots? I don't think so.
