An opinion I have: Dinobots should never ever have guns and in fact guns are antithetical to what Dinobots stand for (being big dumb bruisers)

Not sure what this Wheelie repaint is but his big yellow eyes and box-ey robot mouth are v cute:

The Triceratops mode looks a little more like a cube with a head, legs, and tail than I'd like, even the G1 figure had more contouring than that. But we don't really get a good side view of the mode in those pictures, that may just be a bad angle. In robot mode those are some huge shoulders with some tiny legs, but since he's supposed to be somewhat of a brute that's fine. Gonna need a third-party to give us the proper red Triceratops horns though

Still hoping for a replacement chest for Grimlock's weird dark grey plastic, or maybe a Generations Selects version with a proper un-shaded chest. Still don't understand that choice. I do wish the Dinobots came with swords rather than terrible "forced to sit" figures of characters nobody likes, but oh well.

I'm gonna be moving in summer time so I've started a little packing and looking over stuff. Part of me is debating looking into selling off a couple bots so there's less I got moving in, even though I should have more room in the new place. It'd be mostly CW and maybe a couple TR things though, not sure what the going rates are these days for some of it. I've got most of the instructions somewhere and def have the accessories to it all.

Frankly, MORE of Grimlock should be smoky plastic, like his dino-neck. They should poop or get off the toilet.

I also really don't like those big holes on the inside of Slag's horns, which I'm guessing aren't easily fillable since I'm sure those horns are made of soft rubber. I imagine whole-horn replacements in both red and grey will be available. CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Frankly, MORE of Grimlock should be smoky plastic, like his dino-neck.

I know I've said this before, but I wish G1 Grimlock didn't have so much of his kibble hanging off him all the time. It means the transformation is going to be exactly the same every single time, and to me that's dull. Why would I buy SS86 Grimlock if I already have the incredibly good MP one? I mean look at them.

Just wait for the new MP Grimlock, where they make his transformation as obtuse as loving possible and those back flaps are actually from his tail

they might be holding on to the molds to release a $250 "toy colors/details" set. more clear plastic and swords, less fixed pose nerds.

New pic, I didn't notice his tail tip is weapon storage, which is going to look pretty bad since his gun's silver. Gonna need a third-party tail-tip too. Also I hearby dub the little figure "Tantrum Daniel".

MP Grimlock is too tall and top-heavy. How’s he supposed to charge in and gently caress you up with those little chicken legs Meanwhile, movie Grimlock is built like a brick shithouse and he is going to bowl you the gently caress over and keep moving, while having lovely paint apps and a lack of clear plastic

Starscream/Smokescreen's elbows being flexed apart by transformation is the only reason I don't play with them much.

The only good thing about the Wheelie and Daniel figures being included is there's no more small characters like that that they could include for the other 3. Right?

Something wanted to ask some here, does anyone else remember Machine Wars? It's an extremely small amount of TF's made after the failure of Generation 2. I remember I had Soundwave who came with a large rocket/missile, Optimus Prime who was really Thunder Crash, and Sandstorm or Whirl who was a blue helicopter. Even had a red Snarl and Slag with one being green. Didn't have them all the same year but they weren't that far apart either. It was an odd time especially as I could swear some of it was said to have only shipped in Europe but up here in the North we got a few things as well. Or maybe it's just a lot of mistaking various redecos.
