Matrix Prime Toys has brought us another slew of updates through their page on Weibo. This time we have prototype images of their unnamed triceratops (temporarily referred to as Slag) in robot mode and dino mode, along with some more dino mode images of MPT-01A (Grimlock). On top of that, they have revealed the prototype of their dinobot combiner in full, showing the other members we have yet to see. This dinobot team carries a very unique aesthetic, and each member appears to be articulated. Meanwhile the combined mode has no “traditional” combiner hands and feet, and it seems to carry some design ideas from PowerCore Combiners Grimstone.
Matrix Prime Toys also shared that each individual figure will be approximately leader size, measuring at 25 cm (9.8 inches) tall, with the final combiner being at 40 cm (15.7 inches). MPT-01A (Grimlock)’s release is planned in the beginning of May, priced approximate at 200 Chinese Yuan (or 31 USD). Checkout the images after the jump, and share your thoughts on this version of the dinobot combiner.

Seems to be dead in the water. Shame. It could've been a really cool relic of a previous 3P period.

Tomorrow.
Yesterday.
Never.
Take your pick!

I wonder if they replaced the 2007 colour Optimus with the G1 Colour Optimus or were intending to seel both as the Movie colour one suits the look of the combined mode the best.
Oh and I still want to buy these even 2 or 3 years later.
Lord Dcast
These aren't ever going to come out are they…
Shmoptimus Prime
Genuinely forgot they existed.
Max Tower
Yeah I wanted these too if they ever actually show up somewhere
jazz1914
Still looking forward to acquiring these!
kaijuguy19
Are these even out by now?
AndroidAnchovy
Did you or anyone else have any idea where to actually order or find these things from?
I can't explain why I enjoy this so much.
netkid
This? ^
Lord Dcast
Still waiting for these to become available for the west.

Wasn't there a pic a few pages back of them at Chinese retail?
UltraMagnanimus
I hope so, I'll be buying one when it shows up anywhere!
Shmoptimus Prime
Is this product still happening? They should at least release that Optimus.
redwolfbear
is that the bio tyranno from zoids genesis?

Pretty sure these aren't really 3rd party items. They seem to be for Chinese retail. That's the reason I was asking about an update. So much new stuff comes out at Chinese retail, that it's easy to miss things.
Lord Dcast
When the world needed it most (after TLK's lack of new Dinobot toys), they vanished…

Prime looks sick, especially in truck mode

Oh, so these were legit toys from a 3rd party company and not some customs rumoured to be officcial toys, i'm glad they exist.
Hope they end up good.
They're too stylized, i wouldn't call them bayformers even, they look so different in style.
However, that prime looks badass.
