It looks like, along with SDCC, this set will also be found at the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong (ACGHK) 2018 event later in July, too, so there may be more of this sets available than initially thought, even for the secondary (official) market. Check them out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Not just that. Anyone tried converting his image to negative colors?

Nope, just further proof that Hasbro went far out of their way to repair this mold (and gave him a worse face than the KO).

I find it so odd then that they recreated the original colours for just one of the two casettes.

Those combined cassettes look terrible. Thankfully they weren't released in the US. It looks Go-Botish,full of screws, and. Awkward. That face. And as much as I love dinosaur transformers, it is too far a stretch to imagine a minicassette transform into a dinobot sized beast mode. Imagine how huge this cassette combiner's robot mode would be.

Because it's a different character. Dairu is the Studio Series version of Dile, but Uruaz is the evil twin to Zauru (hence being a Decepticon) according to Hasbro themselves. And since they've basically confirmed they're making a tradition of this expect Decepticon Uriad and Autobot Zauru next year (or perhaps at NYCC?). And looking into this it might also be why they didn't go with the name Dile since "Elid" seems to be a made up name used in the game Runescape, but nobody uses Uriad.

Please take no offense to this, but all that Sounded like complete nonsense to me.

I literally took it from the product description.
Some of what I wrote was just conjecture (like the Dile/Elid part or vol.2 being their counterparts), but they wouldn't have mentioned Zauru if they didn't intend to release him later.

Studio Series presents Vol.1 of a totally awesome convention exclusive series. Packed with retro radness, this installment features a bodaciously Special Edition Bumblebee Gold Camaro figure and 2 dynamite dino-cassette figures, Dairu and Uruaz (the evil twin of Zauru), remixed from an '80s Japan-only release.

I know we give Hasbro a lot of flack for their crap photograpy, but I just noticed this and thought it was worth a closer look.
Just when you thought they couldn't get any worse they somehow don't know the end with the eyes is the head, to say nothing of the direction the toes are facing.

Yeah that's what I think too and don't get why people excited about them. I want the set but only for Bee to add to my Studio collection and I don't need the tapes at all.

Then maybe you two could figure out a way to go halves on the set since you both want what the other doesn't

There's a guy on Twitter who I've already spoken to who is buying the set and will be selling the Bee and will let me know when he gets it and will likely sell me it.
It's a strange set really appealing to very different fanbases.

I really don't care about the movie figures, but I'm going to have to get one of these. The dinosaur cassette combiners have been a want of mine for years, but they're too crazy expensive.

Yeah, it is bizarre, they should have just released the two seperately
