Didn't you see the trailers? The Dinobots in the film are gargantuan, scaled to Cybertronian dinosaur scale rather than Earth dino scale. Optimus even rides Grimlock in the Super Bowl trailer! The knight-esque "steed & rider" aspect of the Dino Sparkers is the entire point of those toys. They were even originally gonna be called "Jousters" or "Joust Sparkers".shockblast2 wrote:This is it? These are the toys for TF4? What a joke! And they want $15 for a deluxe for this nonsense. That is robbery of highway robbery! Especially those dino sparker things. I mean, what the hell! They look like knights riding horses. And how in the world are they going to explain the size differences? The dinobots make the 86 movie scene with Devastator inside Astrotrain seem logical. Look how small Optimus is riding Grimlock! Let alone Drift.

Haters gonna hate.
After all, the guy who posted those original pics of him couldn't recommend the figure high enough. The review was a positive one.

This brand has survived a Countdown to Extinction, and being On the Edge of Extinction! It's even survived an event that was such a big Crisis! The Day of Human Extinction. So I think it's a safe bet that it'll last through the Age of Extinction as well.

still looks like a cheap KO to me. Doesnt matter if its the greatest figure in the world if it looks like crap, feels cheaply made (im guessing these use the same plastic as TFP) & is going to be sold at high prices then it deserves every bit of hate it gets. Evasion Prime looks like a great figure but im not going to pay almost $25 for something that looks like a cheap knock off.

Thirdly... leave the kids in the pics alone. 5 bucks says they were bribed into doing the promo shots with the promise of first grab at the figures, they followed their cues to the letter and, most especially with the kid in the green shirt, walked off the set with their new toy, shaking his head and muttering "Are you f***ing KIDDING ME??" under his breath. I know my youngest son would have done that although he's too old now to be a viable choice for such pictures.

Several:
Age of Extinction Voyager Grimlock review
In-Package Images of Deluxe and Leader Class figures
In-Hand Images of Voyagers and Deluxes
OK, some instead of all. But they all are the more complicated figures, hence the 8+.
