    Yes, only exists in animation

    There is no connection to G1 fiction, completely different.

    But pity that the license is own by Bandai now...

    such an easy pass. I never wanted the POTP Dinobots to begin with. Now I don't want a box set with new feet and swords.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they did do an Abominus like this that they would consider doing a re-release of UW Computron too.

    I like how each Dinobot has the same blue that Swoop has on his chest, so he doesn't stand out like a sore thumb like the original PotP blue chest one does.

    Volcanicus is only amazing as a 3 bot combiner and the QC here is probably worse

    Not bad looking, but they\'re 100% passable for me.

    Just saying, if they are again willing to do their own version of existing figures...Liokaiser. I'll be fine with Leozack as the torso and weaponizer Jallguar.

    I have the oversized version. Don't need anything else.

    Plus Takara's prices are a complete joke. I just cancelled my preorder for God Neptune because the price is way too high or what you get.

    Well I'm out. I have the original releases that do just fine. No need to spend $200 to get the same figures again.

    Yeah, if they're revisiting Volcanicus then Liokaiser seems plausible. Especially since it was the only CW set they never translated.

    Which is weird considering they brought Sky Lynx over.

    Glad I got the normal releases. It is not worth over $200. And I even paid for the upgrade kit...

    All that extra paint means nothing if they didn't tighten up The Hand/Foot peg holes or swoop's legs don't stay together better in Arm mode.

    I believe it was said that the WFC Micromasters didn’t do very well. And as far as I can remember the 2004 Micromaster reissue series didn’t generate much hype or sales, there’s no reason for Takara reissue them again.

    Yikes...$200? The thing is, I like the other four but Grimlock's a total train wreck. And they didn't even fix the problem where the Dinobots came with guns _or_ swords but not both. Sorry but I will have to pass on this.

    Did they reissue anything but the awful MicroMaster gestalt combiners (using gestalt here to differentiate from the two part combiners)?

    I love the POTP set except for Grimlock. With Grimlock it\'s like they gave up half way in. Top half, GREAT! Bottom half is a whole little of WTF going on. 

    couldn\'t careless on the Volcanius mode since it requires so many after market parts to make it both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
