Swoop looks the best out of the Dinobots for me. Or maybe it's just cos his original toy was never released in the UK.
Be thankful. He was all I wanted for Christmas one year. He was hard to find at that point. He was the only Dinobot I REALLY wanted. (I always thought Grimlock looked cool, though.)
I got him... and his neck snapped right out of the package. I was actually very emotional about the decision between exchanging for another that might have had the same defect or getting something else I wasn't as excited about.
I pretty much have to get this one.

Slash has two: Liege Maximo and Alchemist Prime. And several others don't match up with what we've previously seen. I did see that Leader Class boxes have three Primes as co-sells, maybe every figure has three?
Or maybe I'm just looking too much into things as per usual.

I don't think they needed to make Grimlock's transformation so G1 accurate... that tail... the holes in his chest... bleh.

Surely it's the other way round? The inner robots of the primemasters are based on the inner robots of the pretenders rather than the member of the Thirteen they are linked with.
Seriously, it may be somewhat silly but the sheer amount of mix-and-max shenanigans between the three lines in the Prime War trilogy is beyond absurd. In a good way, mind you, which sort of make me sad that kids nowadays are more into being stuck to their smartphone than enjoying a fun toy with a lot of things it can do.

Well, the more time pass in the fanbase and the more there are crusty old grognards like us. It's a 30 years old franchise: we're at the point where people who started with the Unicron Trilogy are adults now.

Skritz wrote:Well, all in all at the very least I'm picking up Dreadwind should I ever find him in store. He looks like a decent little deluxe with the added bonus of combiner limb and his chest armor as a nod to his Powermaster gimmick. If I do pick him then Darwking is next and these two are getting displayed with my Overlord.
Yes, I know, the hypothetical Takara version may very well end up colored like Buster and Hydra but shipping is a real bitch, so I'll let my imagination fill in the gaps.
Skritz wrote:Maybe it's just my unusual circumstances of the fact the last time I was actively buying toys was during Beast Machine and that I only started collecting back during late CW/early Titans Return. I'm aware that toy quality has gone downhill in many areas, such as the hollowed plastic and a lack of paint apps but having skipped toy collecting since the (very) late '90 to 2016 I'm seriously left with an impression that some people have gotten mildly spoiled.
