@@russellharrell2747 your point is hundreds of characters outside of bumblebee optimus soundwave starscream and megatron have had different names over the years barring a few like ratchet or ironhide ironhide sharing a name with a few different characters the point is unless the name is grimlock they are getting renamed because they have either lost the rights or dont have the time swoop has been called strafe slag has been called slug snarl has been snarl and spike depending on the versiom
My very first combiner! He's super fun to mess with, and the upgrade kits are basically a must-have, they bring his total price up to around $90-100 but it massively improves him :)
The 2 brick leave with Q bricks, "Q" Questions as in upgrade kits and the answer is; "Yes! Get the kits for these guys." Shinning moment, You've gotten em' and reviewed it.
I feel like this would be a really cool way to do a Power Rangers crossover. Repaint them into each rangers Dino/ maybe slight retool. Boom you have transforming Power Rangers that combine into the megazord!
Sl*g’s robot mode really should have the back panels opened to form ‘wings’ like his G1 figure. So I wouldn’t ding his rating on the restricted waist rotation.
I only got Skarr from this line because gotta love Ankylosaurus bots and how greatly he fits the G1 dinobot look. Now I feel even more vindicated in not trying to get the whole set. I love the combined look but Volcanicus isn't a character/combiner that strikes a major cord with me and those individual bots damn near feel like they're from different lines with how drastically different quality is.
I absolutely love these guys, warts and all. I prefer to keep them in dino-mode which reminds me of those mini dinosaur toys I used to play with as a kid. Volcanicus is a neat little bonus, and they even manage weapon storage well. Yeah, Snarl is my favorite by far too. I especially love that you can take off his dorsal plate piece and use it like a sword & shield.
I would love a little Grimlock to mess around with on my desk, I might get one of these guys. But Id prefer if he wasnt crippled by being part of a combiner
Firstly, I prefer the Combiner Wars version of Grimlock as the Body, would have loved a Scorn in G1 style Grimlock in Combiner Wars as an alternative body. Along with Paddles or Splash ... based on Sludge. And as for Scarr, always wanted an Ankylosaurus Dinobot, wish there was a CW or UW version of him, maybe using Snarl as a base. With the Red Swoop they had, if they had used Slag as a base for Grimstone or Grimsnarl whatever that Styracosaurus Dinobot was called, well then we'd have gotten 2 Dinobot combiners.
I have a funny feeling that the designers were afraid that Grimlock's elbows would be too weak as knees in Dino mode so they decided to elbow cap his ass for the sake of dino stability
These guys are really fun and make me excited for Dinoking. I just wish Slug & Sludge weren't so hard to find where I live since they're the last ones i need. Haven't gotten to check my local target yet since people have been finding them there whereas my walmarts decided to restock core class wave 1(skywarp, hot rod & iguanus) from Legacy instead of anything from legacy evolution or even United
I admit I have two and a half sets, one of which I've painted in G2 colors and added ToyHax stickers, one almost stock with a few faction and other stickers, and three I'm in process of painting to roughly homage the Animated Dinobots.
No ankles. I can understand a lot of other choices but no ankles at this point is ridiculous at theses prices. They could at least throw in extra accessories and fx
Awesome vid! I am still trying to complete this as for some reason Snarl is the hardest to find in the UK and I ain't paying higher than I paid for the other Dino's haha cannot wait to have volcan jr next to volcanicus potp
I am holding out for Dinoking this year... I missed the boat on the early Dinobots and I'd rather have the more niche character over duplicates of characters I already own, plus I am interested to see how it turns out with proper hands and feet.
Interesting idea for a bunch of Core Class releases. Snarl, Swoop, and Grimlock look the best. The rest I feel are only necessary if you want him completed. Also his right fist is kinda sus.
I really wanted this guy but I've only managed to get 5 of them since I'm missing snarl which is so dumb since only one store near me got a single box of the final wave which is how i got my sludge and slug but snarl was sold out, also the slug I got was a return and I know this since he has a small chunk missing from his head.
I still do not know why they did not make the Dino-combiner more like Preda-King. Swoop being an arm bugs me. I think the in-toon cyberverse version is best, Sludge splits to become the arms and Swoop is the wings.
Swoop is one of my fav Dinobots & I _really_ want his SS86 Leader _so_ much once hes revealed. & Core Swoop is one of the best of this bunch, so if I were to get any of these boys, then I'll probably want Swoop. & I _REALLY_ want them to make a Leader Class Skar/Scarr (Idk how his name's spelled)! He probably can't be done in SS86 cuz hes never been in the G1 cartoon nor movie, but he _can_ be done in Legacy! It'd be _SO_ cool!!! The best of these Core Dino boys are Swoop & Snarl, definitely. Scarr/Skar is cool too. 2 of my fav Dinobots are Swoop & Grimlock, btw. & I think there should be new Dinobot members/siblings who could & _SHOULD_ be done in Legacy!! Idk too much abt Slash, but I do know her a little. It'd be cool for her to be done, maybe as a Deluxe or Voyager, cuz she _is_ smaller. & ofc, Scarr/Skar too, like I said before! & Paddles, who I know _a little_ abt, he should be Leader. & ofc a G1 style Scorn would be included. & another girl, too. I've had the idea of her for a little bit now. Shes basically Cyberverse Swoop (cuz I like that version of him/her), not _EXACTLY_ CV Swoop, just inspired by her (like all sciencey & such) & she would be a TWO headed....flying dino (y'know, pterrosaur, pterodactyl, etc etc, any of those), preferably a different one from Swoopy boy, so she could be different & stand out more. The idea of making her a two-headed flying dino is from Bayverse Strafe, cuz I like the idea of a two-headed flyng dino. Her design would be similar, _NOT_ the same as CV Swoop. & she would have a _similar_ two headed collar thing like Bayverse Strafe, but not _EXACTLY_ & ofc more G1 inspired. & her name would be Strafe. So, we would have 5 new/newer members/siblings of the Dinobots; Scarr/Skar, Paddles, Scorn, Slash, & Strafe! & I'd _LOVE_ for _ALL_ of them to be in Legacy (in a similar style to the SS86 Dinobots)! & I'd _LOVE_ for Strafe, _my_ version/idea to be a real character, cuz she'd so cool! I'd _DEFINITELY_ draw her _IF_ I knew how to draw TFs good enough. I think Strafe, if she were to exist, should be like a Voyager, cuz she'd be smaller than her older brothers. I like to imagine that Strafe would be a younger sister to the others & Slash could be younger (than her brothers), but not by much; she'd be older than Strafe. Does anyone like my idea for Strafe?
I don't like the fact that they combine.... They added that in the Japanese version of a show we haven't seen.... Until recently. The OG Dinobots are ENOUGH for me. Happy love day!
@@ThatToyGuy I haven’t seen them anywhere other than Walmart in Alberta for less than 20$ before taxes. They’re usually all sold out before any sales happen leaving nothing but Iguanus and Hot Rods
It’s such a shame that Volcanicus has been relegated to a second rate, afterthought combiner. The concept is cool, but the execution is always meh. Like this might be a bit better than POTP in terms of stability, but this is literally just Dinoking, and I don’t mind waiting for him.
$12 a piece... $72 total. I wonder if they would have been just a bit better if they were $15 a piece. Slightly better articulation or better feet and hands maybe. Would they be that much harder a sell at a few dollars more each if we could see where the budget went...
Third time they did the Dinobots dirty for the sake of the combiner feature. First Energon, then POTP and now this. They look bad in all modes in my opinion. It's like Hasbro doesn't care at all about their product. 40 years experience and this is the best they can do? Hard pass again on my favorite Transformers. What a shame.
This is set is completely ruined by the combined gimmick. Imagine what these could have been if Hasbro wasn't greedy and prioritizing a repaint over the integrity of the characters. So sad.
If I had a dollar for every time he claims "something keeps falling off" in each of his videos when in reality he is just taking loose parts off on purpose, I would be able to pay off my car
It was pretty decent, personally I think it looks okay, but my point is they already made the dinobots as deluxes and voyagers, so core class is the next step, with 86 being the leaders.@@jaune_xd
I hate these guys. Articulation is terrible when it could easily have been good, weird proportions, lots of clunk in both modes, mid looking combined mode. Core class G1 Devestator would be much better I imagine.
Few things i discovered after owning this set for some time: 1.snarl can use his red backpiece as a shield in robot mode (it peg in the same way as in combiner mode) 2. If you want to make grimlocks leg mode a bit more solid you can "fan mode" it a bit by basically pointing both chest panels downwards, hooking them behind what were his robot shoulders and giving it a light squeeze (this lightly lifts the whole upper dino torso up a bit, so just point the dino head a bit downwards). This way they stay in place during posing and it overall looks better/ more cohesive
I really hope someone makes an upgrade kit for each of the Dinobots so they can all have good articulation and not just Swoop and Snarl. And also to make Sludge actually good
It was interesting to see them improve as they made each dinobot even though it isn’t perfect it is pretty fun and I think that in the future they will be good from the start
I feel like Iguanus as a comparison is a bit unfair. The average core doesn’t have waist swivel or ankle tilt, so something like core Optimus probably would’ve been a better example of a standard Core Class
I feel like it's also not as good of a comparison because iguanus barely transformed? Like he's just a bike made of limbs while tje dinobots have to turn into dinosaurs and combine so they don't have nearly as many compromises as iguanus did
I like to unfold the back of his legs (dinobots legs) to make volcanicus taller. You are correct about the feet ports which are made for the upgrade kit.
