We're receiving a number of notifications about shipping, arrivals, and unboxings for the highly anticipated Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-41 Dinobot - the first Predacon, though turned Maximal in the show, to be released, and the tallest of the Beast Wars Masterpiece figures to this point!

The Loopaza Mega Store Facebook page, a regular source of early toy news, has posted a pictorial review - or call it in-hand images if you will - of the toy, featuring both raptor and robot modes, the tail sword accessory and its storage, a size comparison with Optimus Primal in his gorilla mode, and a look at the eye changing gimmick and part of the transformation sequence. You can check out all of the images below, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub!

Takaratomy Transformers MP-41 Dinobot (Beast Wars)

One of important character in the Beast Wars series, Dinobot finally release in the hi-end toy line. As an Masterpiece, Dinobot has such a crazy transforming process. Lots of fun when you flip pieces around to change from the dinosaur to robot. fully articulated joints make him really poseable that can easy to get him in action just like in the show. rich accessories and gimmick such as the light up eye feature, rotating shield catching all his classic moment nicely.

Is it safe yet to confirm the sword is not silver or are people still in denial? >:oP

Currently waiting for SoC Dragon Caesar to hit my warehouse and then i'm shipping the whole bunch out (also includes the new diaclone maneuver suits and a damashii shining gundam).

Yeah, looking at those last two pics, maybe now people will see just how small Generations Rhinox is compared to the BW MPs, when he's supposed to be the second-largest Maximal of the Season 1 cast.

Dinobot's sword is neither chrome silver or chrome brown, it's chrome PINK. Definitely a callback to the original toy, but it's a weird choice. I realize the original figure was more to the brown side of the pink spectrum, but once you add the chrome it's a very bright, shiny pink for sure.

Anyway, the figure isn't disappointing to me in the least. Yes, price is heavily inflated, but if it were 5,000JPY less and didn't come with the electronics and massive stand, two things I wouldn't consider essential and may never use, I'd say it was a fair value. He's a big, heavy figure with lots and lots of moving parts. His legs are loaded with hidden joints that allow you to fold them up inside his dino mode, it's really neat. I have to disagree with Ironhidensh, he's much more complex than Cheetor and I can't wait for Megatron now because that figure is going to be incredible and huge!

I'm pretty shocked that it's Sunday, people have been receiving their Dinobot's as early as a week ago, and none of the BIG DAWG reviewers have stepped up. For such an anticipated figure, they sure are dragging their heels. So here's some of the little dawgs:

Fellow Seibertronian shajaki rightly points out that it seems odd that none of the 'bigger' YouTube reviewers have yet notified us of video reviews for the latest Beast Wars figure from the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece line - so we headed for the lesser known names, still worthy of a spotlight!

Below you can find a quick round-up of video reviews for MP-41 Dinobot, including all the accessories and parts found in the set, such as the Golden Disk, eye changing gimmick, transformation, size comparisons with previous figures, from a number of YouTube reviewers. Give them a look, and let us know what you think.

Well, after having Dinobot to play with for a weekend, I think I may be getting rid of it, if it's selling well on eBay.

While I liked the figure at first, I'm souring on it more and more:

The transformation gimmick for his arms/raptor feet really limits articulation in both modes.

On my copy, the robot ankle joints are very week, so getting him to stand is a challenge.

The "neck" joint makes any kind of head posing look a bit ridiculous.

It really points out how bad of an animation model Dinobot has.

The cost. The more I handle this, the more upset I get at the price I paid.


I love this character, but I'm just running out of desire to own the figure.
