Fellow fan and collector, Daim Choc, has posted new images of the upcoming BBTS shared exclusive movie deco Dinobots set. Pictures courtesy of weibo user, uranusdd.
The set consists of Scorn, Slug, Strafe, Slog (oddly enough) and Grimlock (of course). This deco is as close as possible to the one seen in this summer's film, Age Of Extinction. The figures even include what looks to be a "mossy" paint application, to replicate the look the Dinobots had in the film.
Most of the paint apps consist of the aforementioned mossy look, with a few splashes of color thrown in here and there, with the majority of each figure being covered in a dip of shiny chrome, head to toe.
This is our first look at the figures themselves and in their packaging. A price and release date have not been set yet, but as soon as we find out, you will.
The images have been mirrored below:

Yes, but that was a sighting at Canadian retail. This was a sighting at U.S. retail.

It would be even better if they did leader Grimlock with deluxe Snarl and Slash like this in another set next year. Along with leader Grimlock with deluxe Scorn and Slash in the SDCC "G1" colors. All eight Dinobots in three different color schemes.

I'm not talking about the sighting, I'm talking about the Toysrus.ca listing. Both of those were on the front page.

Slash is exclusived as well, meaning we're stuck with the teal version of him like we're stuck with the lime version of Snarl.ShardFenix wrote:Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed that Snarl wasn't included in this and therefore I guess I'm stuck with a lime-green snarl while the rest all look like this? Or I could go with the power ranger colors for all the dinobots.

True, but pesrsonally I thought slash sucked. Not that great looking in either form for me. I guess I would get him if I went with skittles-colored dinobots for completions sake, but Im okay with him being left out here. I just really wanted this style in Snarl. I guess skittles-bots it msut be.

Again, this is not the first time it has happened, and I apologise for that.
How did you notify us? Email, PM, board post?

They're slight repaints, if you must know. Check the galleries for comparisons.
And "repackagings" is a total misnomer. Despite the name, they're nothing more than new product runs using the exact specifications of an older toy. Hasbro does not do repackaging nor buying back stock: stores sell unsold stock to other stores for cheap.

To be sure, what phrases does the Grimlock toy say?

Actually Hasbro bought back Rise of Cobra movie figures from Wal Mart that were sitting on shelves to get the chain to carry Pursuit of Cobra.

I am stil looking forward to the Optimus Evolution 2 pack as well as the protectobots evac squad (firetruck and helicopter) since dont own any of these molds http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-product-images-of-hasbro-protectobots/30895/

That being said, the only way I'm getting him is if I can find him on clearance.

That's about it, though.

My god!
That is the very definition of a shell-former.

Did you get the Target 2 pack silver knight optimus with Grimlock? Because the deco on that deluxe optimus prime is Phenimenal! So, if you dont have it yet, make sure you get it at Target while you are there.
And JelZe GoldRabbit, I know what you wanted. I just find that picture so hilarious that I include it anywhere possible. So when you asked to see the vehicle mode, I thought it was a great opportunity to use that picture again to show that it was possible for someone to show us both modes of Silver Knight Optimus if they wanted to.

However, the toy looks ugly at the official photos: there are no chromed details and the vehicle mode is plain white and red (no blue, no chrome).

I ran out to Target and picked one up today.
The sixty bux took some convincing of myself though.
They also had this six pack of bots:
But lacking the appeal of Animated Activators(basically the same idea),
which I did like, I couldnt pull the trigger.
But the Slug looks really nice from the set(the only one I liked)

The in-hand pictures look better than the official ones from Target website.
It seems they took photos of a toy without the silver paint applications ...

First we got our three-pack, which includes the highlight of the set, Stinger.
Then we got our six Legends figures, which include Stinger.
Then we got our two-packs with Dinobots and Legends, featuring Stinger.
And then comes our Construct-Bots Strafe set, which has Stinger.
We feel these Walmart sets will offer a new experience (and did we mention Stinger?).

FWIW, I noticed a couple of QC faults with the Classics mold. The side panel in truck mode that flips down over the leg in robot mode has part of it painted red to match the cab. Mine was missing paint around the edges of the right side panel, so the blue showed through glaringly. Also, the left knee pad has a smudge in the silver paint. Lastly, the right shoulder is loose in the forward/backward rotation.
The only one of these issues that can be seen in in the box is the knee pad smudge, I don't think you can see the red face of that side panel in robot mode, but a little paint will fix that.
