    I thought the Euro distribution was piss poor. How can anyone in Europe be insulted when they can't actually buy Slag?

    I think "Cutthroat" is honestly more "harmful".

    In my neck of the woods, it means "to cut someone's throat open in gorey fashion, for the purpose of brutally ending their life."

    But I understand "Slag" is more terrible.

    A lot of transformer names had terrible connotations but I do think we are all becoming a bit too sensitive over this. It's like everything now has to be so pc. So many sensitive souls out there getting offended over the littlest of things. Come on people slag is slag and that's his name as is cutthroat or dipstick or rippersnapper or whatever name you pick that can have multiple meanings.

    To me studio series slug is slag but each to their own. Sorry if people are offended..

    ;) :)

    Literally nobody is offended by you calling your toy Slag.

    Okay but half this thread is people going "I don't care who's offended" then looking around expectantly and going "I said I DON'T CARE WHO'S OFFENDED" while everyone else is going "I mean if they'd lose sales in the UK makes sense I guess" then the first guy is like "I JUST THINK PEOPLE ARE TOO EASILY OFFENDED" and oh my god man we get it nobody cares

    I was worried that they wouldn't have vivid, movie-inspired decos, or be highly articulated for posability, but thank goodness it appears that they will indeed have vivid, movie-inspired decoes, and are highly articulated for posability. whew!

    Some rumors and fan generated images suggest he includes Ravage AND some SUV that can be placed underneath him to look like he is carrying it while in vehicle mode. Don't really remember any scene depicting this... it's been a really long time since I've watched ROTF.

    They technically aren’t alienating anyone. The fans claiming they are upset by the name change aren’t going to skip buying a freakin’ near perfect dinobot because of one letter on the box. No, people just like to whine and complain. That is the natural state of mankind. We aren’t truly happy unless we have something to complain about.

    I mean, it wasn’t an SUV, as I recall. But Grindor did carry Sam and Co to the warehouse where Megatron violated his personal space.

    I did think it would make more sense for him to come with Alice-bot myself. Not that they were actually connected other than she is killed moments before he grabs the car but it’s certainly more connected than Ravage!

    Yooo...I'm hyped to see that Gnaw is a deluxe. I was worried they might stick us with a TR repaint.

    The Studio Series AOE Grimlock is quite possibly one of the best looking figures we have gotten in the Studio Series line (Yes that includes, as much as I love Hot Rod, SS86). The fact that Hasbro hasn't given us figures of the rest of the Dinobot team that look just as good as Grimlock really feels like the definition of "blue balling".

    It wasn't an SUV. Just a regular car. Amongst the leaked photos yesterday, there was one that seemed to show a wire of some sort on Grindor. I'm pretty sure that that is the anchor he used in the movie to carry Sam, Mikaela, and Leo.

    I firmly believe the other AOE Dinobots are coming now that SS is getting Commander class.

    God, just imagine a Commander Scorn.
