How is the quality of the WSTF Dinobots?
Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2007 7:20 pmLike the topic asks. I am considering getting the three that are released. LMK what you think, and if anyone can show some size comparison pics thanks.

I say nearly since Snarl and Slag have attachable fists. But come on they are very small transformers. Grimlock in dino mode is the same size as his PVC counter part. They stand as tall as PVC Devestor, sixshot, omega supreme Raiden to name a few. They can be delicate Snarls back blade can slip out and sometimes all three are lose when you transform them. But they are so beautifil. Miles above the WST which are also very delicate. They are nearly twice the height of wst prime. Which makes sense they are dinosaur robots they were intended to be huge. I don't have pics but if no one has any tommorow i will get some. They look good with WST Devestor too. (if you need one just ask)

Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2007 8:21 pmI only have Grimlock and Slag right now (definitely gettin' Snarl sometime soon), and I gotta say that I love the both of them. I'm always afraid I'll break 'em though, I already had a run in with Slag's chrome frill (chipped some of the silver off when I was moving those two "wings" to transform him. T_T'), but other than that they're both very durable, they've even got metal chest pieces! Can't wait for Swoop and Sludge should JustIToys ever crank 'em out.
In conclusion: they're definitely worth it. Go for 'em when you get the chance.

Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2007 8:44 pmThey're pretty neat, but Grimlock is definitely superior to the others. First of all, his is a perfect replica of the original, without having removable parts for transformation, and the low amount of chromed parts means little risk of parts getting pulled out, aside from his dino hands. I've had that happen to a Snarl already. He also just seems less fragile in general, and is a must-buy.

This is the correct answer.
Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2007 8:29 amThe only problem I had was one of my Slag's chrome feet in robot mode popped off and I reglued it. It hasn't come off since. The WST's are about the same size as the legend of Cybertron toys (my WST Grimlock and LOC Sunstorm are the exact same height).
Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2007 1:57 pmThey are great. Perfect baby Dinobots. Not only that but they only take up half the space of the full size bots.
They currently all stood on my TVs stand next to THS-02 Convoy.

Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 12:25 pmThe quality is pretty good but the screws on mine tend to get loose really fast. Thats just from transforming them every now and again.
Slags hands come off for robot mode instead of sliding into his arms. That bugs me a bit but I can deal.
On the other side of the coin Grimlocks head slides forward making it a better transform than the old G1 version.
Those are the only two I have and overall they're pretty sweet but not perfect.
In the end if you like the Dinobots and WSTF you'll dig these me thinks.

Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 1:28 pmI only have Snarl at the moment, but he is a wonderful little TF. The other four are a must for me in the future.

Slag hands are supposed to come off. The only one so far who's hands retract are Grimlock's.

I realize that but on the original they slide into his arms for dino mode. I would have liked to see that on the mini is all.
As for what I typed earlier, I meant they come off for dino mode not robot mode. Whoops.
