I never bought the original slash because I didn't like the colors. So I may get this.

Your so damn lucky. I also think this looks great, but the fact that I already bought the previous one makes me really ticked off that I have to buy the same toy again just to get a decent deco. You wont have to live with the guilt of noe having wasted money, you get the good stuff straight away

In my experience when I have to buy two versions of the same mold I just slap a purple autobot logo on the ugliest version And put it with the sg's.

I never got into SG, so its a little late for me to start now.

Yeah that sucks, most SG figures are expensive so it's not worth it.
My big issue is when I buy a figure and a better version of the character comes out, like evasion prime. For space reasons, I try to never own more than one version of a character.

Character or mold? Like for instance do you only have 1 movie bumblebee toy? And only one classics Bumblebee toy? Or does the MP invalidate the rest? You got me curious.

Character. MP10V (yes I bought a ko) is my only Optimus, sold my prid prime when I got it. TR Hotrod means I won't buy the movie one that comes out this year.

I never picked up Slash either. This deco is way cool and would go ok with my ghost knight Platty set. Might have to grab this one.

I wonder if Slash is any good at guitar?

[Sabrblade]

Slash was arguably the worst Deluxe figure of the AOE line. You couldn't pay me to get another.

Oh...
well maybe not then

He had so much beast mode banana feather kibble that it completely undermined the play value of the figure. In both modes.

I never owned the first toy, but I haven't seen good things about it. If they're going to rerelease Dinobot molds rather than give us new ones, why not Scorn? I own the AOE Scorn toy it's freakin' beautiful, IMO. Even the non-screen accurate color scheme felt perfect. The only compliant I have had w/ it is that the legs won't go on now, but that was more my fault (didn't get the difference between nail polish and nail polish remover on plastic at the time).

A shame the robot mode is so hindered by the fixed wrists and bizarre placement of the feathers, because I always quite liked Slash's dino mode and elements of his robot mode. Now granted I've never had the toy in hand, but I honestly thought it looked OK.

This colour scheme is nice, but I honestly preferred the seafoam and uranium colours of the old version. It gave it a real "Cybertron Jungle Planet" vibe, albeit with far less cool sculpting and paint apps.

One thing I will say is, with the overall skeletal designs, I will be mildly upset if we don't get a version of the Dinobot molds in a bone/"fossilized" colour scheme. Slog in particular would look awesome in bleached bone white or fossil brown, and it would be a rare case where that marbley plastic they like to use would actually work well.

Dont know but Randy sucks balls at wrestling, he falls to a million pieces whenever he gets smacked down.

I second that, hence why I am so pissed. I bought the mold the first time because I was super curious and wanted every new Dinobot mold. But maaaaan, this guy was rough. And now I see him in a nice deco and I wish the one I had in my collection was that one because I could never buy this toy again. Good thing the tail isnt removeable, meaning that he might end up in a thrift 5 years from now not missing too much (but who knows if I will still be hunting so firecly then).

The ONLY thing cool about this toy is how they chose to integrate the modern raptor interpretation (with feathers) into robotic form. That deserves some merit. some

I thought the same back before I got the figure.

Then I got the figure.

Now where's that stinkin' "Like" button when you need it.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I agree, Slash was the worst Deluxe and Dinobot from the last movie. I won't be getting another version of the figures from the last movie unless they drastically improve from the last movie. I may get voyager Prime and a deluxe Bee if he looks good in his new body as a toy, but otherwise, it is only new characters for me

It is worrisome that the first wave is mostly repaints.

[Megatron Wolf]

i bought the original slash on clearance for 5 buck and was surprised at how good the figure is. Depending on price point and how the alt mode looks i may pick this up to add to my raptor army.

[DeathReviews]

There's an 'unfinished' air about those dinobot figures as pictured, and which goes beyond them merely being mis-transformed or transformed hastily. Slash especially looks like they just gave up half-way through the design process. 'Oh this is too hard, let's just leave it like THIS'.

I was disappointed with the movie4 dinobots (except maybe Snarl), and so far I'm not seeing anything that makes me better disposed towards the movie5 stuff. The final releases had better come roaring out of the gate to change this first impression...

The last time we saw the Transformers: The Last Knight One-Step Barricade figure was a single photo of the toy - thanks to Instagram account TransformersCars, we have another image, but one that shows off the figure just that little bit better in terms of lighting a quality. Check it out mirrored below!

[VanOscuro]

Wow, the exact same figures with no tweaking or any "real" changes. They really have hit bottom. I'm fine with my non-repaint Slug thank you.

[BombshellDaBug]

Not sure how I feel about these redecos. On the one hand, it's nice to have movie accurate Dinobots. On the other hand, I now feel like an absolute chump for trying to find the AoE Dinobots online now. I literally just got a hold of Strafe too.

Anyways, Barricade looks pretty decent for a One Step, but I think I'm still gonna grab the Deluxe over it.

See guys, this is my exact definition of retropjip.

Sorry Bombshelldabug, but at least you can know you arent alone.

[NOBODY LOVES WHEELIE]

Wow repaints of the ugly Extinction figures...I am going to save sooooo much money not buying anything from this film.

Check out the images and copied out list below and note: the deluxes are still missing, but we're bound to find out more from New York Toy Fair this month!

The Titan Changers are back?!

*shudders a bit*

The good news is that the Legions may get all new molds... except Bumblebee.

They werent bad toys. They served their purpose and could at least transform.

[DeathReviews]

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around how many Transformer characters are swapping out guns for melee weapons. I keep waiting for a scene where Optimus spends 10 minutes, running up towards Megatron, shouting and waving his sword around. And Megatron just blows his head off with his fusion cannon. Cut to close up of Megatron. 'You know, with guns you can kill opponents from a DISTANCE.' They could learn a thing or two from old Indiana Jones.

Or if shooting hero Optimus is too much, have Megatron just take flight, then show Optimus jumping up and down, swiping at empty air with his little sword. 'Hey, no fair! Come back here!'
