So far devil dino is the only real contender, and that's mainly due to some rules exploitation that may (or has been? I haven't kept up in the past 2 months) get plugged soon. Now what will be interesting is if you can "split" them somehow if you have their single characters... the new alpha reinforcements rules may be able to address this, though it would probably really be made useful with houseruling. hmmm… duo characters make really cool looking sculpts, but i’m not convinced of their effectiveness gamewise.
