See, owning only one of the original versions of those molds, I am very interested in this set. I liked the knight helmet-styled headsculpts of the originals, but these just seem to work for me. That Grimlock, especially. His weapon still sucks, but damned if I don't like that head on that body.

Wow, any bets that between the SDCC set and this one, this will be the one with the bigger demand down the road? Anyways, if this comes to Quebec... SOLD!

Some of the AOE knight's helmet head sculpts were their most redeeming feature. These heads look super cool. But for me it's just lipstick on a pig. That Strafe does look cool though.

Hey, if Rosie O'Donnel wants to wear lipstick, she can.

My favorite here are strafe and Snarl, even if I wish Strafe had a blue chest. I do not think that head on Slog is that much of an upgrade.

The real question for me is whether or not these are supposed to be our Generations Dinobots or Age of Extinction Dinobots. I think we all just want reissues of the originals and new updates to the classic 5 Dinobots in the main Generations line. Not sure what I think of these.

So many monkey arms, so few eyes to roll. The stegosaurus-guys arms are attrocious, and I like my strafe. Grimlock and the triceratops-guy are really solid, but I wonder how the brachiosaurus-guy's soft rubber will fare.

I personality would like to see the rest of the dinobots done up FoC style. And while they are at it, finish up the damn Insecticons.

But these guys with the new head sculpts work very well for me. And its a double win because I don't own these molds.

You know, if they had gone the extra mile, these could have passed pretty well for modern G1 Dinbots. Just retool each of the Dino modes.

Give Strafe/Swoop one Dino head that can split in half for robot mode, change Slug's Styracosaurus-ish head to a Triceratops, get rid of Slog's spikiness, give Grimlock a new upper half of his Dino head (so he looks like a T-Rex and not a Carnotaurus that dove headfirst into a blender) and Snarl doesn't actually really need any retooling.

And for the extra, extra mile, they could have retooled the weapons into swords and/or guns (or guns and swords that combine to store)

That is an amazing WIN!

The SDCC Dinobots are "G1" as well, technically speaking, as the packaging doesn't have the AoE logo anywhere, defaulting them to the nameless 2014 line. G1 deco Slog is still his AoE self though, as are all the Takara ones.

Yep, I want these. Unless Hasbro plans to make a new set of Voyager or Leader class Dinobots, then I'll want this set.

Scorn is going to look so good with theses guys.



Scorn is the only Dinobot I was able to buy at the time so I missed the rest so I would love to get this set.



Would the normal deluxe Scorn go with these guys or is he too red to go with this set?

Well, hm, only if they're on sale, but I'm mighty tempted by this set, even if I don't care for some of the molds, the colors and heads are winning me over...

Since the news of that Dinobots set, I skipped over the 2 pages of comments that instantly appeared.

Want some G1 reissue dinobots? You guys should settle with the KOs because I doubt real ones will ever happen.

I also would never buy this set because I have all my fruity dinos and they are enough.

It would be fun to pop those heads off and make some custom Dinobots. Five red and grey Jazz bodies, lol.

The G1 toys were kinda brickish anyways.



I don't see why anyone would want reissues of G1 toys outside of the nostalgia factor or reowning a new version of what they had as a kid.




Not like kids today are going to buy it compared to newer more articulated figures.

Because the G1 toys are awesome? :-s

Yep, those head sculpts have sold me. I'm going to invest in this set. I hope it will come in at under $100 USD. The G1 decoed FoC Grimlock from that AoE two-pack with deluxe Silver Knight Optimus Prime will remain my classics, Grimlock. That's a perfect G1 update as far as I'm concerned, fat tail and all. I still might consider Energon Swoop, though, for his one-headed beast mode and blue torso.

Having never owned any of the re-issues, I kinda want some of them from a history of the franchise I love perspective, but they certainly aren't 'good toys' by my standards.

But looking back on them, the only ones I want are they ones that don't look overly derpy. Really wanted that blaster/perceptor 2 pack, would've liked chop shop and his crew, trypticon, fort max (obviously :roll: ), pirhanacons, and liokaiser (isn't necessarily g1); and that's it, off the top of my head, I honestly don't regret not owning most of them >:oP

These would be great fillers for the Dinobots in a Generations display, even if they are on the small side.
