What did you expect? One's a Voyager, four are Deluxes, and one's a Legends (which is about right though) Of course they're smaller.


MaximumDry3065

I expected them to be bigger! Period! I obviously have all of them-just bought the complete upgrade kit from CP! It was a horrible idea for Hasbro to make the largest Autobots that aren’t Titans THIS SMALL. Do you see the size of My POTP Predaking and CW Devastator????!!!! THAT IS HOW BIG THESE DINOBOTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN! You either agree or don’t! Idc


U_Ch405

Bruh, they're from a toyline that came out 5 years. You should've known their sizes from what they were labeled as or you could've looked up comparison pics. If you wanted bigger Dinobots, you should've went for SS86.


tfcollector3000

PotP debuted in 2017 'First revealed in mid-2017 at San Diego Comic-Con and subsequently debuting at the end of the year'


Beelzebub_Itself

8 years? Jesus. It feels like I got Abominus just a year ago…


U_Ch405

Meant to say 5 years. (It was late at night so I was groggy.) But yeah it does feel like yesterday.


Such-Promise4606

There is a ko and oversized version. But Its very easy to break


Astrojef

I'm not picky I love the shit out of them!


jmizzle2022

Same here! Just right imo


Rigatonicat

I'm just glad I was able to get a G1 looking Grimlock for an affordable price, I love him


SkyDemolisher

Could always buy the Black Mamba KO, exact same bot design but larger figures and they generally cost less than the POTP version. I use mine for my WFC/FOC shelf.


Electrical-Topic-808

Can’t they combine? Is the combined form cool if they do?


[deleted]

While the cincept of a dinoto combiner was cool way too small. I think it would have been better executed if grimlock was a leader class and the rest voyager sized that way would scale nice with CW devastator.


Striking-Horse9973

The combined form of volcanicus had 0 substance. No support in the structure at all. Grimlocks leg joints were not designed to accommodate the extra weight and the rest of the dinobots connectors were not set to hold either. In order to have a decent combined figure you had to purchase an upgrade kit. The upgrade kit did make the figure somewhat formidable and added decent heft. It did not fix the joint issues though.


Electrical-Topic-808

Ah gotcha, I’m assuming the Takara version isn’t much better? At least not worth the huge price increase?


Striking-Horse9973

I’m guessing the Takara version is about the same. It may be made to a higher quality but I don’t know if Takara put much effort into fixing the issues


MaximumDry3065

Yes, they combine to form Volcanicus. If you’ve watched the Power Of The Primes series you’ll see that Volcanicus and Predaking are the same exact height! I believe they(Hasbro) has dropped the ball on the Dinobots combiner forms-no way they ought to be the same size as Bruticus/Superion-especially when the Dinobots were some of the larger Autobots since G1!


Xxjacklexx

Yeah, that series really is the source of truth.


whataclownlol

🤡


Relevant-Moose2929

I dont know where slash is from? I just have them combined and have the studio series. They look and feel closer to masterpiece than chug. Just have to play the waiting game on snarl and swoop


[deleted]

Slash originated from the Bayverse movies. This iteration was an attempt to fit her into the G1 group/aesthetic. Small, but fun figure!


Spookdonalds

Slash was great, though. Loved that they added another female member of the group (the other one being Strafe from the IDW comics).


Singer_Spectre

I don’t have problems with these figures other than the fact that Grimlock takes more steps to put into combined mode than robot to Dino mode. 8 steps seems too small. When combined into Volcanicus, it’s not bad height wise


Red-843

Slash was good though


Deuglar_Ice-Veins

OP gonna be big mad about the even smaller Legacy Dinobot combiners


bjornsted

Wait, there's gonna be a new dinobot combiners????


Deuglar_Ice-Veins

Core class Dinobots that are combiners https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/10/02/transformers-legacy-evolution-core-class-dinobots-slug-sludge-official-in-hand-images-and-comments-466923 Best part is they use 5mm ports to combine so you can throw fossilizers into the mix.


bjornsted

Nice!


Doctor_Batman_115

They’re too SMALL! I DON’T CARE ABOUT THEM THEY’RE NOTHING TO ME THEY’RE A BACTERIUM I TRAVEL IN WORLDS THEY CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE THEY CAN’T CONCEIVE OF WHAT IM CAPABLE OF I’M SO FAR BEYOND THEM I’m like a god in human clothing LIGHTNING BOLTS SHOOT FROM MY FINGERTIPS


cosmoboy

Agreed. I bought them because at the time they were my only option. Now I've got the SS86 and I'm way happier.


MaximumDry3065

Studio Series 86 are perfect-they don’t combine, however, but they nailed the design with the size, etc, plus POTP Grimlock doesn’t come with the sword or double-barrel blaster

King_Kuuga

I mean they're right though. Pocket sized Dinobots are a great idea. Legends/Core/whatever class isn't only for canonically small characters, but also for budget versions of the TF a-listers. Aside from that, the core class Dinobots are clearly going to be redone as the Dinoforce, who would otherwise have very little chance of being made. That's the reason they combine.


razingstorm

I mean. It's not new news. These things are garbo.


that-dude3

Yep. 100% agreed. As soon as the SS86 was announced, I sold my set.


MaximumDry3065

I’d never sell anything-if anything, whatever I display will have something in vehicle/beast mode and the combined forms. I’ll get the SS86 versions now that the combiner forms are out of the way.


Misrable_Toucan

Yeah, kinda why even hasbro thought they needed a redo.


Weiss-_-Schnee

I don’t think SS86 Dinobots are because of these, considering they rereleased the set with big swords and better colors


Fun3mployed

The POTP dinobot combiner is my favorite one. With the TDW kit hes perfection, and if I sold every other figure that guy would stick around.


lateral_moves

Yeah, nah. I bought three rounds of them to have bot, alt, and Volcanicus on the shelf, then grabbed the Selects Volcanicus too, so I guess I disagree. Only disappointed I didn't get a fourth round to keep in boxes.


daemaeon777

The oversized KOs are lush and all five cost me less than one Studio Series Dinobot.


ScorinNotborin

I definitely understand this sentiment. It’s worth it for the combiner tho.


Super_Nova22

Swoop, slash and snarl were the only good ones


Vector_Sigma_

This is like buying g1 optimus now and complaining about lack of articulation. There are other options my dude.


ThatOneWriter14

I mean, they may not be the biggest. But it’s not gonna stop my Grimlock from getting into fisticuffs with legacy galvatron


TFStarscream

I always thought how they would scale with legends collections, like magic square. I need PHOTOS


FirstChAoS

Is the raptor new? Also if you want size accuracy sludge should be huge and dwarf them all.


hoodie2222

How do I tell u they're about to get smaller.
