I think it's pretty clear who's who in the picture. You're classic Dinobot team of Grimlock, Slag, Swoop and... Catilla? Well Grimlock, Swoop, and Snarl are all in the bag but who knows? Here's hoping Hasbro calls Slag what everyone will call him anyways - Slag!

Of course if I did get them I'd actually have to cave in and get the PCC Dinobots too which might not be a bad thing since the only other TF's worth getting are in the Generations line.
They would make good add ons for PCC Grimstone.

It's really a shame that they threw in a cat instead of designing a Hacksaw toy.

Those were non-confirmed working names, based on their G1 Ancestors. Now, I'll get back to drooling and crying at the same time...

Do we know who is going to be selling these? Will they be available at U.S. retail?
Posted by Counterpunch on February 10th, 2011 @ 8:27am CST
I'm glad these will be easily available. They look great.

For you maybe I don't have the option of ordering online.

However tigers are not dinosaurs, and there is no brontosaurus or stegosaurus so this will likely be a pass for me unless it comes out super cheap.

To be fair, Swoop has never been a dinosaur.

Yes, technically a pterosaur is NOT a dinosaur, and neither is a tiger. But if we're gonna go there, then I also have to point out that the "brontosaurus" never existed (http://www.angelfire.com/mi/dinosaurs/brontosaurus.html).

Actually, Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus are used as equal synonyms, though Apatosaurus is preferred in scientific circles since that name was used first.

And it's also British slang for "a woman of loose morals", which may be a more important reason why that will never be used again as a name.

Angelfire website reference = not a very convincing authority.
Gimme a few mintues and I will create a website proving Transformer toys never existed
Just giving you a hard time.
