Nice review man. Seriously fucking dig that bot mode. \m/ My only question is that Grimlock and Swoop's weapons are lava and rock but Slag's club is just orange. Doesn't really make much sense to me. Perhaps someone can clear this up? Swoop's weapon is my favorite Dnio-weapon. I love the Sword for Grimmy, but Swoops ball n' chain totally fucking rocks.

Well the rock parts on Snarl's club are molded there, but they just didn't paint them. IF you want them painted you're going to have to do it yourself.

I like it. I think I might have to pick it up with the Universe toys.

Nice, awesom, cool. WHAt sucks about theese figures. I don't have the figure how can i tell from a video about how cool the figure is what are the lacking points. All in all the figure loo looks cool but im still not sure about the animated line. Don't get me wrong it's cool but a little too childish for my taste.
Nice review, but please tell us what problems the figure has. Please

Hey Thanks guys for all the comments and feedback!

The only problem the figure is in robot mode when you transform him the back tabs of the wings that keep his arms in place are tricky to lock at first but once they are locked he is really stable. Also it might just be mine but he is really top heavy in dino mode when his legs are bent. Besides that he is a great figure one of my new faves :)

there are a lot of inconsistencies in the animated line designs.

many QC issues could? have been reduced if there had been a more unified approach in the designs, esp with the types of joints used, there seems little rhyme or reason for the various joints used in various figures, and even plastic type use varies. Perhaps the variety of joints makes it more difficult for the production line workers to gst things right all the time.

wow, great posability and doesnt seem to have any specific QC issues.

his ball and chain if the same as this photo seem to indicate an action feature!

This has probably been said a thousand times but considering the vague run ins with G1 esque events I wonder if we will be seeing the remaining two dinobots in the future...

I would love to see the other 2 Dinobots but what will they name Snarl? Slag is now Snarl so it will be confusing
