    Wow, with this cross compatibility I’d want all of these with their packaging, and likely duplicates where I might not need the packaging. I almost feel like there is or would be a website/page/thread where users post pics of their combinations and associated names.

    Hey Paul @SirToys , have you seen these during your hunts? I’ve typically seen your numbers, letters & math symbols that combine into a robot. But these (“series 2”) options and any of their predecessors/successors would be nice pickups.

    It's a pretty standard zoo item. You can get them on Aliexpress much cheaper than the zoo. I like to take my kids to the aquarium and, they have them all for like $12 a piece.

    I can attest to this. St. Louis zoo has these animal transformers all over the place.

    Might be worth checking if you live near a zoo or ever visit one.

    (yikes that link...) If you want to go this way, A number of people on AliExpress have them. Simply searching "Panda Robot" pops them up. Takes a few pages of scrolling, but they are there.

    this seems to at least show that they actually plan to release all 5
    (not my pic, found on transfans page)

    On another note, Given the artwork on the boxes, and the fact they don't come with the hand/ foot pieces, you guys think they are going to KO an upgrade kit? or maybe make their own?

    They didn't release any add-ons for the dinobots, so I wouldn't hold my breath. Never know though, not like KO companies are consistent ;)

    The handfeet will likely come with the torso.

    Hmm, something is peeking through window in the box of "Killer Hawk", I'm afraid it's the same gun which came with BMB "Skittles" Dinobots. On the other hand, accessories might be hidden behind cardboard, just like on their Dinobots in separate boxes - Jlkids has shots of these boxes

    Though, there's inconsistency, according to pictures which seem to be shots of the back of boxes, all 5 get sword, all except Grimlock get gun, Grimlock gets two feet (and two enigmas) and Snarl, Slug and Sludge get the fist (yep, no fist for Swoop). Shots of front of the boxes reveal that all except Swoop get swords; Swoop, Grimlock and Slag get guns and something black is in Slag's box (fist or foot, hard to tell...)

    On side note, Smartlulu has Slash in stock for 9 bucks

    Don't know. However, did you know that ShowZ have their own dedicated thread at TFW2005?

    - Show.Z Store

    I thought shops weren't allowed to do that? I remember you saying that you weren't allowed to do so here?

    Doesn't mean that TFW2005 would allow it to continue.

    Btw, there was a review at YouTube that stated the OSKO BB Optimus Prime couldn't do the "hero pose".
