This was an unexpected surprise. Amazon will have a second Jurassic Park Transformers crossover set. This one is based on the encounter between Nedry and the Dilophosaurus called Decepticon Dilophocon vs Autobot JP12. Both appear to be fully new molds. Here is the reveal blurb from Gizmodo.

They’re going to be making sequels to Jurassic Park until the end of time, and hopefully one of them takes inspiration from the recent Hasbro Transformers x Jurassic Park mashups, which now include a Dilophosaurus and a Jeep Wrangler that transform into robots—finally giving visitors a fighting chance when the park’s residents inevitably escape and hunt for a meal.

Hasbro has been doing these Transformers collaborations for a few years now, with memorable releases including bots inspired by Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, and even the animated X-Men series. For Jurassic Park fans, a collaboration back in 2021 stands out as one of the highlights, recreating the film’s iconic T. rex tour vehicle attack scene, but with a Cybertronian twist. The T. rex transformed into the formidable Decepticon Tyrannocon Rex, while the Ford Explorer tour vehicle transformed into Autobot JP93 wearing a recreation of Alan Grant’s hat, and wielding game warden Robert Muldoon’s SPAS-12 shotgun.

For the 40th anniversary of Jurassic Park, we’re getting another dino vs. vehicle Transformers mashup, but this time based on the scene where Dennis Nedry has an unfortunate run-in with a Dilophosaurus who has no interest in playing fetch. The two-pack includes the new Decepticon Dilophocon who transforms from Dilophosaurus to robot in 20 steps and includes a “venom blast effect” accessory, and the Autobot JP12, based on the Jeep Wrangler Sahara staff vehicle, that converts to its robot mode in 23 steps.

JP12 appears to be loosely based on Nedry, with a rain hat, glasses, and a can of Barbasol shaving cream that’s presumably filled with stolen dinosaur embryos—which is kind of confusing given JP12 identifies as an Autobot. Maybe the Autobots are looking to rewrite the Dinobots’ origin story? We can’t say for sure.

The Transformers Collaborative Jurassic Park x Transformers Dilophocon and Autobot JP12 set is available starting today and is priced a little cheaper than 2021’s Jurassic Park mashup, at $75. Starting at 1:00 pm EST, you can order it through the Hasbro Pulse online store, or through Amazon.

This looks better than the previous JP crossover set, imo. Will likely snag it up!

The Dino is definitely a heavy retool of Dinobot and it works.
As for the jeep, it does look completely new.

I'll hold on pre-ordering though.
Like for the previous set I expect the initial Canadian price to be bloated and the thing will be on discount sooner or later.

It feels really weird that the Autobot character in this set looks like Dennis Nedry, after all he was the villain of Jurassic Park movie. If he hadn't sabotaged the park systems in order to steal dino embryos no one would have died. They even include the shaving foam can he was using to transport his stolen embryos.

Makes you wonder if the creators of this set have ever watched the movie.

Amusingly, Dennis Nedry would probably be a turncoat for the Decepticons - would have been nice if they had managed to work that into the fiction considering. I see they're going with the Dinosaurs = Decepticons and Cars = Autobots approach. Overall, I love the set and will likely grab it because that Dilophosaurus is unique in itself. My inner Jurassic Park fan is curious about it and intrigued, and my inner Transformers fan is ecstatic to have another dinobot in the collection that is also a proud Decepticon.

Thinking about it, that spitting Dino is out of scale. They should have retooled Core Vertebrax instead.
The set would have been cheaper too.

It shares some engineering, but not parts.

After watching the fluctuating prices of the first set (which I didn't really like) I'm definitely holding out for a massive discount, maybe the next Pulse Warehouse sale.

Huh? Are you seeing something that I'm not as she looks all new as well. William-James88 even says as much in their part of the post. If anything she looks like Universe 2.0 Dinobot transformation wise but definitely not Kingdom Dinobot. The ball and socket joints should be a dead giveaway that she's not a retool. The parts layout is different too since the dino legs become Dinobot's arms for the Kingdom toy whereas they become the robot legs on this new figure.

Ultimately though Dilophocon reminds me of the Rapticons. She transforms a bit like Shred. Also a bit like McDonald's "Transmetal" Dinobot. Not that that figure had much of a transformation.

Still not a retool but yes, that would've made more sense at least size wise.

Dilophocon isn't a large figure going by the 5mm ports in the hands and the fact that the arms look small comparatively. It should only be about deluxe size at most and not a very large one. Any bigger and they might not have used the ball and socket joints. It looks like Autobot JP12 isn't using any ball and socket joints like Autobot JP93 did. So maybe he's going to be a larger figure and that's why he's not a partial off of Siege Hound.

The tail reminds me of BW alligator Megatron and BW Iguanus.

I'm not liking the Alternator Hound like belly wheels on Autobot JP12. At least they can move around for transformation so maybe there's a better position for them. I don't hate Autobot JP93 at all but this looks like a much better designed figure overall. I really don't like the head though.

I'm liking these better than the last ones too.

Dino actually looks like a beastswars toy, the dino arms still seem a bit off but no where near as bad as dinobots.

The wheels on jeeps bot mode do look a bit weird and the hardhat reminds me of those megaman enemies but still seems okay.

Will definitely wait for reviews with the first JP quality of the car bot.

Another mixed bag. Looks somewhat better than the last set

The autobots jeep alt mode is cool of course, robot mode is mostly okay but that headsculpt is just lame. Shoulder joints look like they'll be a nightmare as well

Dilophocon looks cool though. Alt mode a bit wonky but good enough. And robot mode looks cool, minus the potentially loose ball joint arms. Could they make an Iguanus out of this? Kinda want this set kinda don't

Other set is only $50 on Amazon rn too

I'm taking a guess that the wheels are meant to replicate Nedry's belly. (The choice of using the tires to assist in it looking round, probably.)

Cool looking set. I know with the previous set, the significance of JP93 was obviously the year the first film came out. Not sure what the significance of JP12 is..??

As for the toys themselves. I can see why people without looking back would think Dilophocon is a heavy Kingdom Dinobot retool, also that the jeep is a heavy retool of the previous JP jeep. While it does seem likely these are all new. I'll wait to see some side-by-side comparisons.

Many people thought the X-Men Blackbird was all new, but it did in fact tun out to be a very extensive retool of SS RotF Jetfire.

Two things, the first set the Autobot was based on that Dinosaur wrangler who got outsmarted by a Raptor, in this set the Autobot is based on the human who betrayed everyone and took a facial. If this line continues will we see an Autobot based Samuel L Jackson with a detachable arm?

We're getting a Transformer that looks like Newman from Seinfeld, in all my years I never thought I'd see the day.

Next set will feature the Lawyer that transforms into a toilet. :-D

Yeah, I honestly don't remotely see how Dilophocon is even remotely a retool/remold of Kingdom Dinobot. The small frame, ball joints, different transformation scheme, THE SIZE all scream new to me. Heck, I would bet more money that it shared engineering more in common with old beast wars figures from the 90s' instead.

On that note, This is an appealing set. JP12 looks very...stout. Love the accessories, the body, and the alt mode of course. Dilophocon looks a bit malnourished in the paint department. It's a rather unique beast mode so I'll give it that.

Made the mistake of pre-ordering the last JP/TF Collab set at full price. I'll happily wait for the inevitable discount for this set.

This price is ROUGH, I will wait for a discount.

Also, a big miss is their attempt at a raincoat. Since they only do the top part, it looks like Nedry is wearing a construction hat instead.

Also, I will reiterate, both are new molds. While there may be some similarities, both are deluxe scale which is different from whichever toy they may share similarities with.

I was wondering about that, but the problem is he's sort of backwards. On Iguanus the arms turn into the front legs and the rear legs are fake little stubby things with the bot legs hiding underneath. Here his arms hide underneath and the legs become the dino legs and they're just too big for a frilled lizard.

I mean, it basically is Crazybolt's cartoon model already. New heads and you're pretty much done.

Hoping they retool the dino into Iguanus and/or Crazybolt, and then they retool that into Alligator Megatron. I'm still hoping for a retool of Airazor into Bat Optimus...
