Via Gizmodo, a new Transformers x Jurassic Park Collaborative set has just been revealed – Decepticon Dilophocon vs Autobot JP12!
“They’re going to be making sequels to Jurassic Park until the end of time, and hopefully one of them takes inspiration from the recent Hasbro Transformers x Jurassic Park mashups, which now include a Dilophosaurus and a Jeep Wrangler that transform into robots—finally giving visitors a fighting chance when the park’s residents inevitably escape and hunt for a meal.
Hasbro has been doing these Transformers collaborations for a few years now, with memorable releases including bots inspired by Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, and even the animated X-Men series. For Jurassic Park fans, a collaboration back in 2021 stands out as one of the highlights, recreating the film’s iconic T. rex tour vehicle attack scene, but with a Cybertronian twist. The T. rex transformed into the formidable Decepticon Tyrannocon Rex, while the Ford Explorer tour vehicle transformed into Autobot JP93 wearing a recreation of Alan Grant’s hat, and wielding game warden Robert Muldoon’s SPAS-12 shotgun.
For the 40th anniversary of Jurassic Park, we’re getting another dino vs. vehicle Transformers mashup, but this time based on the scene where Dennis Nedry has an unfortunate run-in with a Dilophosaurus who has no interest in playing fetch. The two-pack includes the new Decepticon Dilophocon who transforms from Dilophosaurus to robot in 20 steps and includes a “venom blast effect” accessory, and the Autobot JP12, based on the Jeep Wrangler Sahara staff vehicle, that converts to its robot mode in 23 steps.
JP12 appears to be loosely based on Nedry, with a rain hat, glasses, and a can of Barbasol shaving cream that’s presumably filled with stolen dinosaur embryos—which is kind of confusing given JP12 identifies as an Autobot. Maybe the Autobots are looking to rewrite the Dinobots’ origin story? We can’t say for sure.
The Transformers Collaborative Jurassic Park x Transformers Dilophocon and Autobot JP12 set is available starting today and is priced a little cheaper than 2021’s Jurassic Park mashup, at $75. Starting at 1:00 pm EST, you can order it through the Hasbro Pulse online store, or through Amazon.”

I love JP12, but don't want the Dilophosaurus. I wish I could buy them separately…

These are cool. Anyone seen the Jeep that transforms into a Trex? I almost bought it the other day. It's not made by Hasbro

Canada when!?!?

Just a heads-up, this set is on a limited time sale on Amazon right now. $49.99, and (for me at least) it offered the zero interest monthly payment option.

Honestly all of these.
I would love a Jurassic park 3 T-rex and Spinosaurus 2-pack.
The T-Rex could be a new pretool for an organic Grimlock like the IDW comics
The Spinosaurus could get turned into an organic Scorn.
The Brachiosaurus from that scene from the first JP movie could come with a Helicopter that looks like John Hammond

Here's my wish list for Transformers Collaborative x Jurassic Park:
The sick Triceratops (I'll name it Tricerabot Horridus) from Jurassic Park as a pretool of BW Neo Guiledart.
The Stegosaurus (I'll name it Stegotron) from The Lost World: Jurassic Park as a pretool of BW Neo Saberback.
The Pteranodon (named Pterocon Longiceps) repainted from Deluxe Class Kingdom Terrorsaur, or a new and more accurate Terrorsaur mold will do.
Along with anything else I have yet to think of like the Brachiosaurus from that scene from the first JP movie.

I imagine core Beast Wars Dinobot from Wave 2 of United could give us your wish

MOSASAUR!
Hell, make it a Tital Wave partial… (what do you mean by "budgets, market, niche, and popularity"?)
OR…
Since this last set was 2 new moldd… organic Dinobots…

I'm kinda hoping we get at least one more of these Jurassic Park collabs, let's see a Jurassic World-based one.

Picked one up on the black friday sale for like 52 bucks. That's about retail for two deluxes. They look pretty cool and should complement the other set well.
Ramberk Magnus
These molds are nice! Just don’t want that JP deco…
Robogeek28
At regular retail for two Deluxes, this is a nice set.
Also, can the jeep's wheels go towards his back without breaking? I try to move them in that direction but they stop, and I'm afraid I'll break him if I force it.

It
It would probably be too small compared to Code Red.
Vector Oracle
You know, he looks a lot better without the hat.
Random aside: if a Collaborative Demogorgon from Stranger Things gets made, who else thinks that Hasbro might retool one out of Dilophocon?
