We may also have Reno Wilson, who tweeted about voice-acting for Age of Extinction, but quickly took it down.

Rated X wrote:Im still undecided if I want to buy the dinobots and slap some con symbols on them. They might make a good faction of predacons to go with the BH preds. But I have no interest in using them for theyre intended purpose. Ive turned my back on the non classics lines unless its a figure that can be repurposed on a classics shelf. And for the record, im sick of grimlock always getting a larger figure than other dinobots in his last 3 toy incarnations. Theyre not a scramble city team and never were.
that's why I'm getting them. The chubby horny one (Slug? Purplesaurus) is far too purple for me to accept him as a (maybe that makes me robo-racist?) even before adding in the red accents to make him very Magneto-esque. The red one, well, he's just red and that's plenty universal as far as TFs go, but his (Vangelus-coined) "Made Of Knives" look feels a lot more to me. Grimlock would probably work as either, but I like how he reminds me of a cross between Knightmare and Astaroth from the Soul Calibur games. So he's a baddie too.
edit: has no one digibashed these guys into their G1 colour schemes yet? It'd be interesting to see how different the impression they'd give in more traditional colours, because right now, there's only the barest hint of them being related by the kind of similar alt modes.

Digibashed, no. Actual custom? Yes!

Myself, if I get them, I'll probably treat them as separate characters from the "original" Dinobots (who I plan on representing with FOC Grimlock and the Planet X not-Dinobots, when they're all released), either as an alternate universe/Shattered Glass Dinobot team, or simply as new characters in their own right. Of course, I take the Wayward/Insecticomics viewpoint with canon (ignoring it completely, giving each figure/character their own personality independent of any one series) so my approach won't work for more "hardcore" collectors.
I must admit though, I quite like the multicoloured Dinobots. Grimlock reminds me of Cybertron Scourge (who I've been meaning to get) and the others, especially Slug/Slag, remind me of a particularly spiky Super Sentai team. And to play devil's advocate, the kids are gonna love 'em. I mean, what 7-year-old wouldn't like a spiky purple triceratops that turns into a duel-wielding robot?

I can only wonder what other crap colors they'll use to make them more "accurate" as they're saying.

Well, you should, because they are. How come nobody knows this?
Since when was it dictated all incarnations of a certain character had to be the same as the original? Never.

Because it looks cool?
Posted by craggy on April 14th, 2014 @ 4:44pm CDT
yeah, these will be new characters for me. I'm thinking Shockwave's FOC experiments creating the Dinobots were just the start, and he perfected the process and then used it on a team of crazy badass Decepticons.

it's a shame that these figures clearly don't fit in with the rest of the movie collection.

There is one coming up actually: Chomp & Stomp Grimlock, at 24cm tall (or 9.4 inches) it's fun for kids of all ages!

I think you mean 24 INCHES tall, not centimeters.

And in this video interview Jon did with him, he says that they almost never get the original voices from the movies/shows to do the toy voices:

I am really intrigued by all the dinoknights. Voyager Grimlock is the least appealing, but.
But.
Scorn looks pretty good, Slug is actually pretty fun - will be very interesting to see Strafe and Slash in their Generations version rather than the simplified versions!
(Curse you, plastic crack.)

I have a pet theory that it's easier to tolerate the simplified designs of a deluxe when it's a beastformer, where the kibble can be integrated in interesting ways (Grimlock's shoulder pauldrons, Scorn's "wings"). And these Dinobots do look like the strongest aspect of the line.
I'm planning on matching them up against Beast Hunters Predacons for an all new 'beast wars'...

What are you talking about? Which Beast Hunters toys were inaccurately colored?

Every time I see that, I know the bridge like thing is suppose to be like what Grimlock crashes through, but when I saw a pick of it open and closed, and seeing guns on him, while OP rides him. I think Dyno-riders.....which I still have some, few I gave to my daughter.
