Thanks to Alucard Lee on Weibo, we get our first look at the rumored Platinum Edition Dinobots set! Unfortunately those rumors has been that this set will be the reissue of the G1 Dinobots that fans has been clamoring for. With that it is with great disappointment that the leaked image shows us that the Platinum Edition Dinobot set is actually redecos of Age of Extinction Dinobots similar to the SDCC 2014 exclusive set that we got just last year. The difference here is that you get all 5 G1 decos of Age of Extinction Grimlock, Snarl, Slug, Strafe, and Slog which appears to be slightly different than the decos of the SDCC set.

Disappointed by this reveal? Excited because you missed out on the SDCC set and will be picking this up? Let us know on the Seibertron.com forums here. Check out the image we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

EDIT:
Upon further inspection of the leaked picture provide by Alucard Lee this morning. It appears these AOE Dinobot redecos also have brand new G1 inspired headsculpts further differentiating this Platinum set from the SDCC set from 2014!

On the one hand, this is definitely disappointing... On the other, these look way better than the SDCC set...

These look lovely. Better than the SDCC set. How much are these going to be? If not too expensive these will likely be my first Platinum purchase.

Eh, I got the SDCC set + the Amazon exclusive Slog.
Happy with them, never heard they were doing this.
But when I read it, I was hoping for those black/dark
colored more screen accurate Dinobots.
G1 reissue complete Dinobot set never came to mind, but
for those who did. It must suck pretty hard -_-

Good for the wallet & livingspace, since I'm going to
get 90% of all Combiner Wars figures. Way too much
Transformers awesomeness, so no loss here for me.
G1 reissue Grimlock does sound like a great idea.

That... That is too precious.

Meh. I need not G1-colored movie Dinobots. I think I'll stick with my Skittles bowl of AoE Dinobots.

Age of Extinction. Taste the Dinobot.

Um. If get this. What is it? $80? Yeah. I'd get this. I think those were the best molds of the line and now they look right. So yeah. Sorry they weren't the old ones but these are still good.

No way this is 80... 2 voyagers and 3 deluxes in a Platinum box set? I'm guessing this will at least be 120

The shiny chrome and G1 colors look good on the Dinobots. However, I generally refuse to buy any Bayverse figures on principle. The whole movie toy franchise (and the movies themselves) have just left a sour taste in my mouth. So much potential - so utterly wasted.

My Metroplex was bought in the UK an has rubber wheels.
I think they must have sold both types as with Ultra Magnus.

I can't say I've seen a rubber tired Rodimus with Metal feet from a UK source yet though. I should have bought the reissue to get one with metal feet and tires - but it slipped my mind that there was that difference.

I did really miss the lack of rubber tires on Chromedome though.

I wonder if they'd considered a shiny deco might look nice on G1 Rodimus if he was ever reissued again.

The Dinobots like the other recent Platinum sets are nice enough but I'd not want to pay crazy premium for them.

In a way I'd have been more keen if they'd left Sludge/Slog out and included Slash instead or left out Grimlock and sold him on his own in leader class size in G1 colours.

It bugs me that they keep neglecting Slash - do they not think people would want Slash in a colour other that teal ?

He's a decent enough toy once you swap his legs over

So, basically, the only special thing about the SDCC set now is the box that I don't even have room to display. Fan-friggin'-tastic.

Yeah. I figured as much. Hasbro is on a roll with their unwanted repaints. AoE no less? No thanks.

You know what would have made this much more acceptable? Slash and Scorn in G1 decos so they could be pals with the old SDCC set crew.

Comment by Alpha Dominus Jul 23, 2015

Basically this set came out last year(spare the exclusion of one figure). LAST YEAR! What could possibly merit the existence of this thing as a platimum edition set?? :BANG_HEAD:

I don't like how busy these designs are but they are based on the movie universe so I guess busy just comes naturally.

Especially if Slash becomes a fembot.
