That was a cool vid to hype him up. They're TF toy commercials for adults! We need an ad where a bunch of grown ass men stand around a playset and play with MP's like it's the 80's/90's again lol

 

They are deliberately hiding this part from all promotional video and photos and you guys are fine with it???

It's horrendous, even Primal and Cheetor hid their robot parts well.

 

I just ordered him from HLJ. I’m looking forward to getting him, but it does sting that he’s currently $38 USD more than Megatron. Glad I only need one to satisfy my completionist tendencies  .

 

I like the way you think...You, me and MP Dinobot Threesome, now! :3
By threesome I mean transforming, admiring and drooling over the wonder and pinnacle of MPs that is delivered from the mighty Takaratomy..  

 

Mind fuck.

 

「トランスフォーマー マスターピース」シリーズに「ビーストウォーズ」の人気キャラクター、ダイノボットが仲間入り！

Not sure if this has been linked, but it does confirm the eyes can be adjusted in raptor mode and that his robot mode eyes can glow green or red.

 

Yup, that’s correct.  

 

This is brilliant ...and expensive. @cutrookie made an interesting point that masterpiece transformers are going into hot toys/sideshow price territory. Maybe they should follow them with prepayment plans. If any of the U.S. e-tailers were to offer such a program, my business would increase much more than it should.

 

Blah, blah, blah..

 

Not really? Both Primal and Cheetor had big blatant "THESE ARE ROBOT PARTS" when you looked at them from the back.

 

there comes a point in your life where you realize a physical object will never be 100% accurate to a cartoony CGI computer model that disobeys a physical environment, and when you realize that you will be much happier with your life

 

That region is on display fully here: TakaraTomy Masterpiece Dinobot

Doesn’t look as bad as the ‘shop in your post.

 

So, the raptor mode will have a eyes change system like Hot Toys' figures?

 

In my earlier post, with the rest of the photos.

 

Yeah, complete with closeups on the men’s faces, their eyes glowing and a “robots in disguise” robot voice overdub.  

 

I think his beast head has a hinge on top of it that will let you swap the eyes around, cause it seems that Dinobot only has his default eyes and "squinting" eyes.

 

Whoa how'd you get that picture then?

Also look at this post from Type-R like 5 pages ago. It has pictures and a link to the 360° view that they're hiding from you.

 

Absolutely beautiful toy that sets a new standard for Masterpiece Transformers. Dinobot has always been a favorite character of mine in the Transformers mythos, and they couldn't have made a more perfect toy for him. $260 is a lot of money to sink into one Transformer, but it'll be worth it, IMO. However, I would prefer if TT leave out the display stand in the future to keep the cost a little lower. The toy itself is enough; the stand should be something you can buy if you WANT to for the extra cost. Either way, no regrets having this on preorder x2.

 

More like MP Grimlock. Flip open the head and rotate a spring-mounted set of eyes. The alternate eyes are squinting, so it’s more than just moving the eyeballs. Though if they also included something like a Hot Toys mechanism that would be over the top!

 

Which retailers will have whatever the "extra" item is?
