New photos of Platinum Dinobot heads, with video and name reveals

Posted by william-james88 Aug 10, 2015 at 10:18pm CDT 35,659 views
With the 2015 Platinum edition sets all revealed, it only makes sense that this line gets less news these days. However, fellow Seibertronian Bill_Stickers has dug up some excellent shots of the new Hasbro Transformers Generations Platinum Dinobots set featuring the Age of Extinction Dinobot molds in G1 deco. There has been a debate whether these were the G1 Dinos themselves (in a Generations update) or rather the AOE Dinos in a G1 deco with G1 heads. Well, this new review from MACULA brings even more mystery with the reveal that the names are the same as the AOE names. Hence, this set includes SLOG, SLUG and STRAFE. So is this AOE Strafe in G1 deco, gen G1 Swoop or gen G1 Strafe? Afterall, there is no other Generations Strafe so far. Instead of being anymore facetious, how about we just get to the meat. Below is a quick video review of this set still in it's packaging, as well as stills of the heads and some other angles to the previously seen shots, courtesy of Bladestorm of Ozformers.

Especially considering how simple they would have been to approximate; Did they even do a legion class for that line?

*edit, if I remember correctly they were too busy (not) selling the fast-action bullsh!t to put effort into actual transformers.

The headsculpts look fantastic. Particularly enjoying the ones on Grimlock and Slag. Dunno what it is about them, they just work for me.

Slog looks pretty great, like an edgy megazord

I was looking forward to this set but Snarl being all silver where he should be gold kinda kills my enthusiasm as he was the first Dinobot I ever owned

I still kinda want these just to rip off the heads and put them on my SDCC set.

Where exactly are you going to be able to buy these? Doesn't look like the kind of thing my local Toys R Us would get in.

Are they much different to the SDCC set, colour wise etc?

Were the Platinums all going to be Target exclusives? Wait, the Insecticons were Kmart exclusives, weren't they. Hrm... Image

Well, in the states, anyway. Maybe it was just the Coneheads and Trypticon that were Target exclusives. Sorry, this travel weary dude needs more sleep... Or coffee... >:oP

The heads look great. Definitely getting an IDW vibe... if only Strafe had molded goggles, the illusion would be (mostly) complete. :-P

I seem to recall reading in our news that Trypticon was going to be a Target exclusive. Was I dreaming? Do we know the price point yet?

Thanks, that's pretty much how I remember it. Seems like since MP Skywarp (Walmart Exclusive), the MPs have all been Toys R Us exclusives, unless I am missing something. I think that's why I wasn't thinking of the MPs with the Dinobot exclusives. But, no word on who is going to have the Dinobots, eh?

Probably Walmart. They sold Predaking and the two pack flip and change AOE bundle that were exclusive to chains we dont have, and they also have the seekers.

Oh and speaking of the Blaster set...
