    Doesn't look like the Dinobots are rocking G1 colors, looks like the G1 colors are rocking the Dinobots!

    man, those elf ears and pointy shoes on Grimlock look dumb.

    Otherwise, pretty nice looking set. I just can't quite decide if these are worthy off being the CHUG Dinobots until we finally get something better...

    Aside from Grimlock looking scrawny, I love the look. The headsculpts really bring it together.

    I really like Slag's, Swoops's and Snarl's mold. Especially Slag. I could get this set just for that guy. But Sludge is a big wtf, and grimlock still has his awkward arms.
    All of their head sculpts look great though

    How cool would it be if we actually got updated generations dinobots??.. Oh well, I guess it'll never happen. No generations dinobots, no masterpiece dinobots.. But hey, here's some movie dinobots.. Lovely.

    I have to share some of the sentiment here. It seems like the only Dinobot that got any love during the Classics/Generations line was Grimlock (AoE line excluded). With that being said, I'm excited about this set. It's not a perfect set, but it does look pretty good and will be a nice stand in on my Classics shelves until we actually get some updated Generations versions.

    It's like toy dubsmash. Very nice & I dig 'em. Somewhat IDW vibe to it.

    I'm glad I got the ToyWorld versions. Pricey, but nothing like the AoE garbage.

    My Opinion On This Set

    I love the chrome details. Otherwise, I don't really don't have any appreciation for this set.

    This is my final opinion.

    Well never say never. After all characters like Ultra Magnus had gone into lines like this in the past until they eventually got into Generations proper so don't lose hope.

    I was against buying this set because of the missed opportunities to make it even more G1, like with Snarl having silver chrome instead of gold. After all, us G1 fans are entitled to the most accurate decos possible. However after viewing these recent pics, I must admit the figures all look very nice, and I'm considering adding them to my Classics collection as a modern Dinobots team.

    While I appreciate the effort, I don't appreciate the execution.

    If anyone wonders why the 3P dinobot market seems to have blown up over the last year, it's because this is the best that official toys does for us. The dinobots as a whole get very little love. and for those of you that like AOE, five minutes in a 2 hour+ movie is very little love.
