Thanks to a post on Weibo, we get nice in-hand looks at the upcoming 5 figure Platinum Edition Dinobots Unleashed which include Grimlock, Strafe, Slug, Slog and Scorn. These figures feature some chrome and transparent plastic. Check out the figures below.

[DarksydeGrimlock]

yikes these are underwhelming

[BERSEKAEL]

Very interesting. A good set finally, I like it... a lot.

I never caught that they would be transluscent until now. Wasn't the whole point to be gun metal grey like in the film?

[-Kanrabat-]

Meh, I'll stick with the Life Savers Dinobots. Because those are rather dull looking.
...
To be honest, they are wicked cool looking. However, my TF money is rather limited at the moment. Choices must be made. And a DOTM Takara Jetwing Optimus Prime for 95$ loosse and shipped is my top priority.

Oh, us.

I got those one step figures today and opened Drift, Galvatron, and HO Bumblebee. I gotta say, they're fantastic. Each one has a really unique transformation, Galvatron's in particular is really cool.

Why did they have to put translucent plastic on these?? I would have MUCH preferred the more tarnished metallic look for the entirety of each of the figures. Translucent plastic kills the itch I had for this set. Though, on the bright side, more money for Generations and MPs. So there's that.

This Dinobot set, to me, is a perfect example of figures I'd love for good photographers to have - so I can admire them from afar.

They look nice, but more as a display piece than a toy, really. And I have my Power Rangers Dinoforce already, anyway. But dang does that first shot look good.

My favourite is Steeljaw.

100% agreed.

Same here.

Clear plastic? I thought it will be all metallic silver,stew and etc! Time to customize the regular,already released ones I guess. You want something done right,do it your self!

[robotmel]

Not been following the AoE toys really, thought Id wait it out should I fancy picking anything up.
Thought Id have a quick gander at the latest Dinobot figures and...

[Alex Jones]

I am sticking with the Takara black knight versions and the SDCC G1. These are awful, mainly due to the revelation of the clear plastic.

y'know, id actually bet money that theyre translucent to specifically offset them from the takara "black knight" versions, as they were pretty similar.

How is it weird? We've had non-transforming Transformers since 1990.

[megatronus]

Pretty excited for the Dinobot pack.

In general, I'm extremely pleased with the glut of options we have for various AoE molds.

[Nemesis Destron]

C'mon HasTak put out a better Lockdown already! I'm sure most movie fans would agree to a Lockdown with an alternate head gimmick or a flip-over battle mask like BB just to hide that horrible mug. The deluxe is a great mold but off with that head!
