My Hasbro vintage Trypticon has chromed optics. Maybe a running change to the mold.

Yeah my vintage metroplex, uk release had plastic tyres, other releases had rubber i believe as has my encore..


This is my partial solution to trypticon's dino mode accessory storage probs

If it was 100% complete and unbroken, that was one hell of a lucky find. However, a single lucky find does not make it the norm.

I dont get the picture and how it shows us what to do with Trypciton's weaspons.

Tellyou the truth wj88, there ain't nothing we can do. This G1 G1. A lot of kibble etc hanging around. frogbat jus repurposed the antenna for some other thing or something.

Oh, ok, thanks!

Thanks to Alucard Lee on Weibo, we get our first look at the rumored Platinum Edition Dinobots set! Unfortunately those rumors has been that this set will be the reissue of the G1 Dinobots that fans has been clamoring for. With that it is with great disappointment that the leaked image shows us that the Platinum Edition Dinobot set is actually redecos of Age of Extinction Dinobots similar to the SDCC 2014 exclusive set that we got just last year. The difference here is that you get all 5 G1 decos of Age of Extinction Grimlock, Snarl, Slug, Strafe, and Slog which appears to be slightly different than the decos of the SDCC set.

Disappointed by this reveal? Excited because you missed out on the SDCC set and will be picking this up? Let us know on the Seibertron.com forums here. Check out the image we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

EDIT:
Upon further inspection of the leaked picture provide by Alucard Lee this morning. It appears these AOE Dinobot redecos also have brand new G1 inspired headsculpts further differentiating this Platinum set from the SDCC set from 2014!

I really wanted shiny new G1 dinobots too. Every swoop on ebay is broken or 1 Million dollars... sigh...

These look lovely. Better than the SDCC set. How much are these going to be? If not too expensive these will likely be my first Platinum purchase.

That... That is too precious.

No way this is 80... 2 voyagers and 3 deluxes in a Platinum box set? I'm guessing this will at least be 120
