    Cindersaur obviously will die because his fire comes out the wrong end.

    Well... that doesn't seem quite possible due to the 'Con symbol on it.

    If it wasn't for the G2 Decepticon logo on his leg then I'd still suggest that he looks more like Playskool Beast-Bot Dinosaur or the Mc Donalds 'Transmetal 1' Dinobot.

    Especially with a red Scorponok rumored as well.

    But I suppose he's not completely Unlike a Firecon in someways. but not as good of a fit as say Weirdwolf was.

    I'd find it very hard not to think of him as an an alternative Dinobot though... what he might have looked like as a Transmetal (sort of complements one of the Transmetal Rhinoxs in a way too as they are similar colors).

    Rhinox (2000) - Maximal Strategic Defense - www.tfu.info

    As a toy though I like it - one of my favorites so far in fact.

    (I wonder what Optimus would be good for - Beast Box, Apeface, Apelinq, others maybe....)

    I'd still rather like a Helicopter Waspinator (Cybertron Buzzsaw recolor) though regardless of where that might fit story wise.

    Wow I love me some G2 novelty colorations, but man c'mon.

    I love the translucent blue plastic with red paint, but when you mix it with that solid blue plastic with red paint it doesn't jive so well.

    They should have made it all one or the other the blue parts.

    Aside from that it looks like Jurassic Park Chaos Effect dinos.

    Okay. I do still believe that a dinosaur head makes a stupid looking hand. That said, I love this color scheme. I would pick it up if I saw it in a store.... Or by the side of the road...

    Hmmm, really love the screwy colors on this (especially transparent). I'll wait and see who he's packed with before I bite.

    The colours clash badly on this figure. They should have done a G2 Grimlock homage - not this mess... *shakes head*

    If this is G2 Cindersaur, I think they could have used a couple of different molds that would have looked a little closer to his original self than Megatron. Of course they're both basics molds, but Wreckloose or Undermine from Cybertron would have fit in better with the other Firecons.

    I like it. Something about that crazy color combination just does it for me.

    WOW, I looked at the thumbnail and thought "that's definitely G2" and then I looked at the full size and thought "ouch, that is pretty bad."

    They didn't want to do Scout sized toys.

    Of course, they didn't have to do Cindersaur either and gone with a mold that more suited someone else.


    I would have looked at this as "we want to use the BW10th Megatron mold, what character would best suit it" rather than "we want to do a new toy for Cindersaur, which mold would best suit him".

    Those colors are very sharp. I love this for how kooky it is.

    Cindersaur seems to be the answer.

    Ooh, nice catch!

    And there's the fact that he's, y'know, a dinosaur.

    They already did pre-beast Waspy in 2006.

    It's "jibe".

    I hate to nitpick, but this is a pet peeve. (I have quite a few, it seems.)
