Takara Tomy Studio Series 86 Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Grimlock, Jazz & Scourge Production Sample Images

Still waiting for some of the new figures got all the SS 86 wave one and no bayverse so it's gonna take a while for me to get the new waves

She.

ZacWilliam, always she.

…Right, I completely forgot that her G1 incarnation was female. All the more reason for her to get another toy. One that scales with the new Dinobots rather than the POTP ones.

I’d love a G1 style Scorn.

Be a great way to reuse that Grimlock with some remolding.

Don't forget Slash! Especially since her original AOE toy was so disappointing.

There are some neat G1 style Scorn fanarts out there. I was just looking the other day. I think it would be super cool

Just look at G1 Grimlock vs modern trex understanding. Absolutely awful lmao. But that old fashioned cartoonish silliness is part of what makes the G1 dinobots so fun. I think a retool of Grimlock could make a decent Scorn

True – love the idea of a Dimetrodon, love that art, and that would be an easy retool. But if he were to have been a member of the core team originally, it would've been a more striking look imho to differentiate him from the others to have him be on all fours with splayed limbs in alt. as opposed to the upright standing Grimlock, or else he's just a Spinosaurus really.

And yes, sailbacks are synapsids related to early mammals, not technically dinosaurs (but then neither are pterodactyls really!)

"The ace of splayeds!"

OER Zoids date from the same era as G1, after all, and it's something they pulled off with Spineback with relative ease:

You wouldn't suddenly turn him into Hellrunner with a sailback when the look of Dimetrodon was already well established back in the 1980's and – (unlike, say, the tail placement of quadrupedal & bipedal dinos, for example, now portrayed with raised tails to counterbalance their body weight)- hasn't changed dramatically since.

But I do take the fair point about there being a certain kitsch affection in these outdated portrayals. I think if there WAS to be a new Dinobot my personal choice would be Iguanodon, for example. Now much as I'd love to see him with his thumb spikes in the proper place anatomically correct, part of me would also love to see Richard Owen's old Victorian take on it from the infamous Crystal Palace exhibition that mistakenly stuck his thumb spike on his nose!

Yes please, Hasbro release all 5 Dinobots! Love them!!! Can't wait for!!!

They all Appeared in the Movie… Those two background Scenes with Snarl count.

I could get behind that. Voyager size with everyone's swords, maybe some other launcher looking weapons.

To put it in human terms, if Grimmy and Slag are 6ft 225pound body builders, i want swoop to be about 5'11" and 150pounds.

basically close in height, but much skinnier in comparison. Sludge needs to be slightly taller and heavier so no buddy pack in. Snarl same as Slag.

edgs2099

Part of me wants Swoop to be Leader size, but with an altmode changed to a quetzalcoatlus.

I want him tall and skinny. But add extra swords for other dinobots to make up for slimmer figure.

Chareos

That'll be awesome!

I originally thought of using Slag, but the transformation of the tail/leg would require the bone at the end to come off.

Rodimus Prime

I'm thinking of using potp Snarl to make an anko-bot when the 86 version comes out.

That'll be awesome!

Were it a more realistic T. Rex as a basis I'd want a new mold for a Spinosaurus since more recent reconstructions have revealed it to be very different from T. Rex, but… very outdated depictions are kinda the Dinobots' whole thing, so that'd work great.
