As far as I know, correct. I really liked the A-10 in that color scheme. :-(

Shame, Blight in metallic silver looks really cool.

I picked up Triceradon and Rav yesterday at Ollie's. I kind of lucked out. They were the only two Dinobots they had (literally just one of each, too), and they were practically hidden. I really had to search.

Triceradon is the better of the two. In Triceratops mode, he looks just like Slag, he's easy to transform, and he has a nice sturdiness to him. Rav is decent, but he feels a bit flimsy.

Not sure how I'm gonna display these two. I hope I manage to get the others, but I think they're going up against my Armada Unicron. It works two ways. :grin:

Too rich for my blood. If I spot these at Ollie's, I think I'll cave, though. They're pretty cool looking, and I love me some Dinobots.


Ditto. Would be nice to get 'em, but it'd depend on my mood and budget if I ever saw them in stores. Wouldn't even think about paying shipping on them since they're so tiny... though as I say that I'm craving two little 3 inch Blizzcon figures that'd cost me $52 D; Curse you shipping prices! They doubled the cost of getting them D; Me wants! But my frugal side kicks the crap out of me every time I'm about to cave.

Fragging California based conventions -__- They mock me and my decision to not live out there.

The paint job is awesome, but I kinda wish they'd modeled it after Animated Slag:

After all, it's pretty easy to surmise that this mold could have been a basis for the Animated character, since they transform in a similar fashion and have squat but powerful looking proportions.

Anyway, I've been fiddling around with these guys for awhile, and my opinion has changed slightly: Yes, I am quite glad I picked them up(because Dinobots are awesome :D ), but I still say they are flawed figures that may not appeal to everyone.

I also really like the idea of Catilla being associated with the Dino's. That character has had very little fiction about him, and it would be fun to see a Mosaic about him...
