Blog #2830: Toy Review: Combination Mecha Volcanicus (Transformers G1 Grimlock, Slag, Sludge, Snarl, Swoop)

Combination Mecha Volcanicus (Transformers G1 Grimlock, Slag, Sludge, Snarl, Swoop)

I am fairly sure this set of Dinobots is made by the same company that made Combination Mecha Piranacon and Predaking I Reviewed a while back. There are some similarities between them and those sets.

Grimlock

I imagine this is what Grimlock would looks like in dinosaur mode after a decade on meth. He is T-Rex shaped, but that head sculpt is weird. Robot mode isn’t great.

Slag

Slag looks great in dinosaur mode. Robot mode is okay. I kind of like his dinosaur head on his chest.

Sludge

Sludge also has a great dinosaur mode. Robot mode is fine.

Snarl

Snarl looks really great in stegosaurus mode, though his robot mode having his dinosaur head hang off his knees is just weird.

Swoop

Swoop also has a great dinosaur mode. His robot mode is okay, but his whole torso looks like a face for some reason.

Volcanicus

Oh…my…god. What the fuck did they do to his face? It’s like someone took Predaking’s face and said, what if we made him look more like Bert from Sesame Street. He looks like he’s on all the drugs. He looks fine other than that.

Overall: For cheap dollars it’s worth having if only to make fun of.

Thanks for reading!
