    The triceratops mini-con was/is my favourite minicon ever, this repaint looks great as well - nice to see the mold come back.

    Feel free to laugh at me, but I always had a soft spot for that funny-looking tiger guy too. I'm sure if I was a minicon, my robot mode would end up looking stupid like that :p

    Don't see the point of these. The mighty Dinobots would never serve as anyone's minicon.

    I just wanted to say that all the guys moaning about Slag being renamed snarl because of the meaning in the UK should be a little more considerate. Hasbro renamed the character not us british people and if there was a transformer released called Slut i think you'd understand how we feel. Same with Spastic; i don't think ****** would make a good name for a character. I don't want an argument just a bit of understanding for us UK fans :)

    ...And I always wondered why a bull and a rhinoceros were part of the Predacons...

    I like the idea of TFs named Slut and ******. Just use these to rename the movie twins and we're all set.

    O/T and all, but personally I think Slag's fine. It's referred to the iron byproduct long before it had any insulting connotations, and even in the insulting context isn't aimed at a specific group of people. Slut's different, since it only has the one meaning.

    On topic, I could go for these. I don't have any other versions of these Minicons for some reason, and the deco kinda works. The tiger's a nice touch too; Snarl would be the obvious choice of name, I guess.

    And yes, there may be two here that aren't dinosaurs, but then Swoop never was...

    I don't see how Grimlock could have had a better repaint.

    I love me some Cybertron scouts, and those Dinobot Minicon decos are pretty damn cool. This is a page full of preorders for me.

    I'm so glad they went with the A-10 jet mold on this, rather than the F-14 (which is what I was picturing when they listed one of the figures as "Fighter Jet"). That makes this set worth picking up for me, I really like that little A-10 mold. It makes up for the other two molds, which are pretty awful.

    I like the decos, and that little A-10 mould has a very clever transformation. I'll have to see if anyone in the UK is planning to offer these. ;)

    There are not enough "Ha's" to add after my "Bwa"
