Anyway, the answer to these Combiners being too small is obvious: Make everyone else smaller.

They tried that with the Dinobots and, well.View attachment 24031

Keep in mind, that previous version was also nine years ago.But I'm not convinced that the SS86 is something that I particularly want, especially since it is kind of mirroring (at a smaller scale) what the previous version already did so well.

I don't mind Predaking and Devastator being larger than either the CW or Legacy combiners, because they weren't Scramble City style so in my mind they're "different" which means they don't have to be the same size. Truth be told, though, scale has always, and will always, be whack. I recently got Legacy Dinoking. He's tiny by Combiner standards. So... who knows? The points don't matter.
The area the SS '86 Constructicons can wow me on are the robot modes. CW Devastator sacrificed a lot from the individual robot modes and SS '86's take can give us some clear improvements in that category than I'm all for these. ofc with Combiners individual robots will always sacrifice something so I'm not looking for six Kingdom Cyclonuses here. Just a team of six Constructicons that are, on the whole, better as individual dudes then the CW take.
And it seems too early to tell if they cleared that bar.
yeah.......And by time it's not, the first 4 will probably whipsers in the wind.

It's actually only like 50% more after inflation, tbf.I pulled out my copies of CW Bonecrusher and Scrapper yesterday and fiddled with them for a while. Then I look at the SS86 pics, and I'm trying to figure out if they're really worth double what I paid a decade ago. I wish it had been more of a slam dunk decision. That said, due to family stuff, I missed the PO's at my preferred places anyways, so maybe that's been answered for me.
I also wished that I had picked up some of the PE upgrade sets for them at the time, too.
...isn't that making the Combiner smaller, rather than everyone else around them?They tried that with the Dinobots and, well.
(I love them, especially with the 5mm connections, but my opinion is a distinct minority.)
That doesn't make me feel very good about the inflation rate.It's actually only like 50% more after inflation, tbf.
Now I'm wondering if anyone's made a combiner from the SS Dinobots yet.
