If G1 Snarl's Stego had looked this cool maybe he wouldn't have been all emo about missing his Cybertronian alt-mode. -ZacWilliam, kids ALWAYS love Dinosaurs, which is one of the reasons there's some hope to someday get all 5 again.
Last time I checked, Swoop and Grimlock sold pretty well during the Animated toy line, Snarl not so much, but that was mainly due to the toy's clunkiness. I honestly am expecting this to happen: FOC Decepticon 5 pack- Bruticus FOC Autobot 5 pack- Dinobots. I don't care if they're deluxe or not, I just want to see them as toys. Which seems to be the most unanimous decision yet, pretty much everyone wants to see them as toys.
Oh man the Dinobots are turning out GREAT!! I really hope the Dinobot class is a new class available in competitive multiplayer...that'll be awesome. I also wish this was coming out before august 28th. My summer break from college will probably be over by then...damn it to hell. No matter....every minute I'm not drawing, or in another class, or at work...will probably be spent playing this game. "Snarl" actually being a fat, ugly version of SLAG (renamed to Snarl for some reason) might have had something to do with that too. It was as you already stated, very clunky and underwhelming as well.
WOW! now that is just downright sexy! If I had to choose only 1 Dinobot to get a toy it would be Sludge, but this might be a close second.
The name change was due to the fact that "slag" has actually become a curse word or a form of profanity in...I forgot where ^^" Long story short, it's a no no word for international toys and games. Hence why you don't see them say Slag in the shows anymore, and it's now replaced with "Scrap". Hence why Slag became Snarl in animated, and now that Snarl is returning to the Dino-squad, they renamed him Slug instead. Which I don't mind as much, at least it's a new name and not a hand-me-down.
Snarl was my favourite and this totally does not disappoint. I must say, these new looks of the Dinobots are totally awesome. Now if Hasbro decides to create these in toy form at Voyager scale, that would be the best news ever. Please Hasbro, please make these Voyager sized. I understand you'll have packaging and shipping concerns etc to support voyager sized line, just create 1 more decepticon character or something, then 6 voyager sizes, 2 waves. 4 figures per case. i think that would work out right?
Normally I would have a problem with any rendition of a Stegosaurus not having five toes on the front feet and the correct number of dorsal plates (17) but this is fucking awesome. God damn i hope they make a toy for each dinobot like they did with the combaticons. I'd buy the fuck out of each one.
Hasbro, please, please, PLEASE make these figures!!! PS - if you do please make Grimlock a voyager sized one!
