As interesting as these repaints may be, I just dont find them desirable. I think there's just too much going on with each figure.

So much for being movie-accurate. 
I guess Takara's Black Knight redecos are the most movie-accurate ones, though why Strafe still has yet to be given one is beyond me.

Wow. I was so excited for better looking dinobot figures. This is disappointing.
While Slug, Strafe and Scorn look pretty good (aside from the fact they're supposed to have blue eyes) Grimlock and Slog look really bad. There's way too many translucent pieces and in the wrong spots too. Grimlock is the worst looking figure here. Why the yellow? It's like someone messed up and said "ohhh... the yellow was for the G1 repaint... oops" Slog looks like a hot mess and I REALLY don't like his neck being so transparent when in dinosaur form. I guess I could buy this set for the 3 Dinobots and sell the other 2.

You guys are impossible to please. I find this set to be totally awesome looking, moovie accuracy be damned.
I'd still have to pass because of budjet and space restrictions. I now have a new rule. To avoid repaints of molds that I already own as much as possible. And because I only need one voyager and one deluxe to complete my fruity dinobots set, I'll have to pass.

All I want are toys that look like the Dinobots that were in the movie. I fail to see how this is too much to ask for.-Kanrabat- wrote:You guys are impossible to please.

These all look SO good! Especially Scorn! Grimlock looks alright, but that yellow makes it look like someone spilled mustard on him. Also: While I like Scorn, I must ask why him and not Snarl?

Hm, I figured they were going for a G1 group with the fact that the "correct" ones were there, except for Scorn. Eh, again, not that I mind, Scorn is awesome.

I agree. Though I wonder if the point of this set was to provide us with more movie accurate decos. Was that ever mentioned anywhere officially? because if not, then I do not understand it's purpose.

Bah! It would be nice if we could get ONE set at retail instead of it being an overpriced convention exclusive. Oh well, at least I can get that Autobots United set. That's a BBTS Exclusive, right?

That smoky clear plastic and weathered chrome is just ~~dreamy~~
Scorn looks the best by far. Grimlock's odd mustard yellow looks a bit weird, TBH, but the rest of him is great. Slug and Slog suffer from the soft rubber- I really wish they could have painted it, or even just weathered it a bit.
I want them so much, but I will never have them...Oh well, more money to spend on the "vanilla" versions of the molds + Leader Grimlock to mod into the Extincticons.

I don't get all the complaints about the Dino Sparker toys. It say in big print "4+". Can't you guys take a hint? Of course they're crap, they're for toddlers.

For some reason, these guys look really brittle to me. I don't know why, the originals didn't.

These all look really nice! If I was to get any of the dinobots (which I have none so far), it would probably be this set.

Hm. Well the dinobot set looks neat, but did they do that scuffing of the chrome parts on purpose to give them a 'battle scarred' appearance? I like my chrome scratch-free

I prefer the regular AoE releases over this set. I really like the different, more vibrant colors the regular ones utilized!
