Before we became bombarded with Combiner War figures, custom combiners were the only way to get 'updated' versions of the combiners we wanted.
I remember getting Classics Mirage from a store many moons ago and thinking to myself "man, this is awesome. I wonder if they'll make Drag Strip from this. Oh shit I hope we get the rest of the Stunticons too!"
Which then led to full gestalt speculations and hope back then.
Then when it didn't happen, custom combiners started to REEEAAAALLY seem appealing, especially when pic related was what we got.
