I would expect pretty much the same here. There is really no need to overly complicate the transformation for Sludge because they can just leave out a mini figure and use that extra plastic towards the dino neck and tail.
I also wouldn't be surprised if they pull a page out of PotP with Sludge and Snarl and do come creative re-using of parts between the 2 molds. That could be another way for them to justify going a little bigger on Sludge and get the savings from re-using some parts on Snarl.
Yeah, animation was not consistent. However between the differences in species, it's not absurd that Sludge would have a bigger dino mode than Slag and Snarl:
This image exaggerates how close Snarl is, but Sludge is clearly bigger than Slag, and not just in terms of height.
The image quality of this one is bad, but even a bit further away Sludge is bigger.
Here's another where Snarl looks a bit oversized imo, but Sludge's torso is still bigger than Slag's.
Of course Hastak could make them all have similar-sized dino torsos.
But it definitely makes sense that Sludge could be slightly bigger than Slag and Snarl in dino mode.
*edit: My opinion that Sludge's dino mode should be bigger than Slag's is not me also saying I think Sludge should be Commander Class.
