I think it's an awesome design. Have the leader turn into a T Rex is as cool as it can get. And I like the design. If we are gonna talk about gimmicks hampering toys, I feel that's the case with Primal. Really hate not being able to move his arms freely without hearing the gears clicking in miscontent.Dragma Kerp wrote:I hope those reissues are not walmart exclusive T_TSabrblade wrote:Unfortunately, back during the 10th Anniversary line, Hasbro went looking for that mold and either couldn't find it or it was lost beyond recovery.GrangerPerry wrote:Or a states release for the first time of ravage would be nice
I hear that but no one ever presents evidence of this. Was that said in an interview or at a show somewhere? I thought they didn't put Rattrap because he didn't fit the price point.

I'm good. I have a good copy of the original. Not a big fan if that toy though, it's very awkward.
The best thing about that toy is how people used to believe it actually used parts of the Jurassic Park Raptor.
I have the BW Neo Hardhead retool, and he's fun to transform. Compared to his contemporaries, Dinobot's articulation isn't as restricted. True, the legs could have been dealt with better, but it was a learning moment for everyone.

Looks like the back of his head is no longer red (what a missed opportunity for light piping!) so I guess they must have painted his eyes red unless the whole head is painted.

It's a decent figure, but I do still wish it had been the Takara second-run deco with the copper head and fists. That's a deco rarity that any Rattrap fan ought to have a second chance at.Emerje wrote:Just making this an easier pass for me.

I guess the Kingdom one will fill that spot, with the reissue toy-accurate.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Terrorsaur scheduled in a later wave? If so... what mold would they use? I just learned that there are two distinct molds for the Basic Pteranodon: the original Terrorsaur, and Lazorbeak with minor differences in proportions, plus an indent for a mood sticker. Here's which mold made that figure, according to TFWiki:
Terrorsaur
Terrorsaur (original run)
Fractyl
AoE Dinobot Strafe
Lazorbeak
Terrorsaur (later EU runs)
Lazorbeak
BW Neo Hydra
Dinobots Terranotron/Swoop
More than likely the original Terrorsaur mold, but... Why make a variant mold at all?!
