    I doubt it. They didn’t bother to with a figure they had in development for almost 2 years. And they are already advertising the stand compatibility. Guessing he will flop over in beast mode, too

    You're joking, right?

    Meg's legs are visibly more stable that Dinobot's, who can stand just fine in both modes.

    I'm guessing that's why they included the stand with him in the first place, not too much more realistically they could have done.

    You are just speculating based on static, photshooped pics. I remember everyone on these boards claiming dinobot would be rock stable and easily stand in both mode and that the stands were just an extra. But they were wrong, too

    There is so much blind faith in Takara on these boards

    It sounds like Mr Kaye is interested in obtaining one of these if you watch the interview on the front page.

    He could be a serious contender for best figure of all time if he's as spectacular as he looks.

    Tentatively pre-ordered him at Amazon JP when they had a 38% discount going on. Have until January to decide whether to stick with it. Would still be the most expensive single figure I've ever bought, but man, he just looks too perfect. That T-Rex has to be the best beast mode I've ever seen.

    oh my god enough with this. he said his 2 legged raptor currently is standing perfectly well. It's not blind faith in a company that a similar styled toy will do the same. I'm sick of hearing the 'fanboy loyalty much?' nonsense. I can see the pictures clearly. There is very simple science to settle your mind about the T-Rex being able to stand.

    Yup, the simple sciene is to wait until we see hands on proof that the figure can actually stand on it’s own. A static picture is not proof of that. But believe what you will

    This NEEDS to happen.

    And make a MP Universe Primal repaint while you're at it.

    And yet, you won't shut up about it. Keep shouting your disappointment in Dinobot from the rooftops, nobody cares.

    You were obviously triggered by my posts and cared enough to respond.

    Hate to say it, but with the ratchet problems and paint chipping of Dinobot, their QC has me officially worried, now. It’s just not the same as they used to be.

    This. I won’t say anymore because people obviously want to believe what they want to believe despite evidence suggesting otherwise.

    I still buy their products. So it’s not like I’m anti Takara. It’s just true their QC sucks. Encore God Fire Convoy, Paint chipping on the face of MP40, now Dinobot problems. Here’s hoping Megatron won’t be the same. Yea not all figures suffered and I hope their situation improves. But these guys have free fallen. I’m still keeping my two orders of Beast Wars Megatron no matter what.
