Thats an awesome idea. Where would we post it to ensure people see it ?

General Discussion.

We're open to ideas, just try to be civil about it.

I understand that bbts needs to make theyre money because they are going to get stuck with alot of grimlocks and primes when that wave comes out. But thats not my problem. Im confident ill find slog in Walmart by the end of August.

On a separate note, I would love to see "thread merging" abolished. Its so freaking annoying to see conversations about 10 different topics mixed together just because they are loosly related to Michael Bay.

Been saying that for the past several years. I can understand it for conventiony things, where there's a lot of news coming out of one thing, (and even then, it's extremely annoying) but when it's news topics days and weeks apart, no.

The thing that kills it for me isn't the forums neccesarily, it's the way the news page processes. 9 times out of 10, I'm commenting on a news article with the "click here to join the discussion", I'm not already in the forums themselves. So when the news article itself has three seperate news posts for other things, such as AOE FE Knight Prime's post in the article for Sludge, it's more than a little jarring...

Those "Black Knight" Dinobots look awesome. I love 'em!

If I didn't already have the original Skids version, I would probably be into this. I dig the alt-mode's paint job.

Hey guys. I hear that there is a Transformers: Age Of Extinction dinobot 5-pack coming. I saw the word limited in one of the posts. Does this mean that Hasbro is going to be making a limited number of sets and they will be hard to find?

Anyone know what the 5-pack platinum dinobots look like yet? I already got 3 out of the 6 but I'm willing to buy the molds again if the paint apps are good enough.

If it was the G1 colours or a simple reissue of the SDCC pack, then why would it not contain Snarl? Also, though none of us may care for it, this means there is no chance Slash will have a redeco.

You are right about Slash. Besides the toy, he has no comic/cartoon/movie char anywhere. Just who is this crappy huge velociraptor mold?

So then this would be an independent set from what was hinted at from Hasbro:

G1 Dinobots set with Strafe, Grimlock, Slug, and Snarl (where's Sludge/Slog? Hasbro said they are working on it for a separate release)

That latter set would be the SDCC one.

I don't see what any of the confusion is a about. One is an SDCC G1-themed 4-pack set with all of the G1-based Dinos minus Slog/Sludge. The other is a Platinum Edition 5-pack with all four of the movie Dinos plus Slog. Is it too hard to consider that the inclusion of Slog in the movie dino set might be Hasbro's attempt to give fans the G1-based Slog toy that was missing from the SDCC set? The other four in the 5-pack could be in movie-accurate decos with Slog being the unique standout.
