    Dinobots as deluxes is blasphemy! Sorry! I'm tired of undersized TFs! Yeah I'm looking at you Thunderwing! Seriously guys, how would you sleep at night knowing that Seaspray and Powerglide got released as Voyagers, but the DINOBOTS are deluxes and smaller than them... *faints* :rip

    How about all are Ultra Class, except Swoop would be a slightly small Voyagers?

    Deluxe and maybe one voyager chucked in there, They weren't THAT much taller than the rest of the Autobots and I do love my Deluxe Classic figures...

    They really need a good Shockwave to fight against though...

    I can't really tell if you're serious, but if you are, then wow.

    I'd be all for scout sized Slag (renamed Snarl), Swoop, and Snarl (renamed Slam). A Deluxe Sludge would be more likely than a Voyager version, since Brachiosaurus is a less popular dinosaur.

    deluxe, my classics shelf is already getting too full, if they were to make 5 voyager dinobots or something, that would not work at all, that would take up a LOT of space

    i wished most if not all transformers were deluxes, i hate buying bigger stuff unless it is like a masterpiece, ultras just put me off for some odd reason haha not an even enough number for me i guess

    i love the dinobots, but i don't have the IMMENSE love for them to get them bigger than deluxe, i like classics grimlock just fine, just make 4 more deluxes and all will be good

    expecially swoop, i love me that design haha

    Well, with how small they're making Voyagers nowadays, they wouldn't be that much taller than the rest of the Autobots anyways. :p

    I would take the dinobots any way Hasbro would be willing to give them, other than mini-con. Deluxe, voyager,scout; as long as it's the REAL dinotbots I wouldn't care.

    Leader Blackout...Oh wait...

    Honestly, as neat as it'd be, I'm not all that sure if Hasbro is even interested in doing the whole G1 Dino-bots anymore.

    For one, the name Slag is out. They've shown many a time that they are just not using that as a character name anymore. From TFA "Snal" to the G1 Robot Hero of Slag being named Snarl. Which also begs the question: where does that leave the original stegosaurus Snarl?

    Then there's Sludge. I like Sludge. I really do. But I gotta wonder how modern day Hasbro actually feels about trying to sell a cool robot toy named "Sludge".

    Also we just got MP Grimlock not that long ago. I'm sure in Hasbro's eyes, that should be good enough for the fan base. (for now.) I don't see them putting out another G1'ish Grimlock anytime soon. Say for maybe a Legends.

    They should be Affordable size. I just don't have the desire for every Dinobot as an MP like some do.

    Sludge = Voyager, others = Deluxe.

    Voyager. Because Dinobots need to be larger than the rest and I actually collect only Deluxes. But Voyager Grimlock would be fitting to them.

    All but Swoop as voyagers. Swoop would be a deluxe only. I'd would also have the dino modes true to current dino knowledge, instead of the tail draggers version. I'd also throw in a rator as well.

    All Deluxes. Any larger and Grimlock will be laughed at.

    Lol at whoever said MP Grimlock looks perfect next to classics. He's way too big. Forget the cartoon show, he should be in scale with voyagers or a little taller. Same with the rest of the dinobots except Swoop. Sludge could work either way, same as Grimlock or bigger.

    If they made them deluxes I'd have to wait for the inevitable third party upgrades, or third party figures. So please no deluxes unless that only includes Swoop Slag and Snarl.
