These repaints look badass

Scorn was never black or gray at all, which makes the retail Scorn actually the most accurate even though his red is too vibrant.
Black Knight Grimlock, Slug, and Strafe however remain the best representations of the onscreen Dinobots.

That's the BBTS price, yes. It's still available for preorder there (thought it had sold out earlier):
Transformers: The Lost Age Black Knight Exclusive – Scorn – Transformers Transformers IV – Age of Extinction Exclusives
Dark Jedi
Really need that Scorn to fit into my SDCC set. Any idea on prices? $39.99 like Strafe?

Only if I had the money… I'll most likely just get the Dinobots Unleashed five pack.

My wallet's is on strike. lol

Hmmmm as always you have a good point. I need to consult my wallet….

Hasbro….why Hasbro; could we have not had these as regular repaints in the States and everywhere else on the globe???? Why? I would have actually bought one…
Come to think of it I have not purchased one AOE figure at all.
I have always picked up at least a little something from every line…even Transformers Prime. But I got nothing from AOE.

I must agree, these look better than the regular retail versions.

Why couldn't the Platinum Dinobots have just been Hasbro releases of this. They just look so good in these decos, and they don't look boring at all.

If I cared about the Dinobots I would just repaint the regular Hasbro versions like this. But I never really cared for the Dinobots, not even back during G1.

I hope these pics mean they are getting released in early November, as some Takara exclusives hit early in the month rather than later like the retail releases.
They look good though, again. With the status of the Microblaze Onslaught up on the air, I think I'll wait on these to arrive and then ship my PoL at BBTS.

Got milk?
That's what has/tak is saying as they milk these molds!!!

Still inferior to the Platinum Set.
The scratched metal parts look really premium and the transparent parts try to fit the movie colors a nice way.
For the Black Knights Slog: Whytf does he have red on his head. If only the color of the eyes would match correctly. A problem on both versions. Anyway the Black Knight ones also look great. But european shops want 45 Euros for each. So… rather 170 for the set.

This is what the premium Dinobot pack should have consisted of.

I dunno why, the G1 dinobots were popular as were the Animated versions which were pretty much all grey, and those were aimed at younger kids. I actually think doing a silver-grey deco with a hint of colour on the dinosaur back like Black Knight/Platinum Leader Grimlock would've been a fair compromise between the two, using the onscreen colour palettes (greenish for Grimlock and Slug, blue for Strafe and a rust colour for Scorn). They could've just used the single colour for the non-generations figures if that's what they felt they needed (though notice how Takara have replaced a lot of the colour with silver on the 'gimmick' figures).
Anyway, it's all academic now, but still the shared deco does make them look more coherent as a group.

You can be fairly certain people will break the Platinum Dinobots up and sell them separately….

I really can't commit to these, well Slug and Strafe, I'm less interested in Scorn. I really can't bring myself to spend $60, plus shipping on two deluxes.

Argh I was going to get Premium set, but they do look great. So undecided. One thing against me going for the Black Knight series is Black Knight Grimlock. I don't want a leader class version.

Bought.
Now, Black Knight Snarl and Slash please.
