I'm genuinely surprised at how well the 86 dinobots came out, they are all so big and chunky. As cool as it is to see them almost complete, i really hope they get moving with the AOE version soon.
I honestly also hope that they release dinobot Scarr from the core class dinos as a Leader in Lagacy. Maybe Slash too, since she already has a g1-ish design. I mean, can you have enough Dinobots? I don't think so.
The one gripe that I have for Snarl is that they didn't use the golden paint for the face or legs. I understand that they didn't put that in for potential paint chipping, but he does look inconsistent compared to the rest of the Dinobots. Still like the figure tho and I can't wait for Swoop!
It's a cross between toy and the cartoon. This has started to annoy me a lot with Hasbro TT. 3rd party makers like Magic Square and Newage don't do this with their G1 releases. They are more creative making a toy version and animation version, so fans have options and less complaints in that regard.
Grimlock's hips are actually not racheted, but are designed to get more tight as you move the leg up, it's just a basic friction joint with some neat modification
Swoop is gonna go so hard because he isn't bulky like the rest of the team. He's slender while his Pterry mode bulks out a bit. Definitely gonna be getting him when he comes out
Proto was asked in QnA on how he think Hasbro will do an 86 Swoop what would they do. He said he think they do a leader price but still keep him in scale with the items, but he would come with accessories to bulk up the price. And those accessories be the other dinobots weapons that they weren't released with.
They look great, and chunky together, and overall fit the scale of the 86 releases really well. My only real experience with the Dinobots has been the Animated iterations which I still really like. Personally I would have been more than okay with these guys being at a Voyager price point given the simplified transformations and standard articulation. Interested to see how Swoop will turn out as he would make one big pterodactyl as a Leader. Also SS Bayverse Dinos in SS would be really cool to see as I believe none of those toys really aged that well.
The robot modes on the ss86 dinobots are absolutely killer. It's just a shame the dino modes are just merely 'good'. I had to get front teeth for grimlock, horns with no hollowness for slag, and flip up feet for sludge. Just leave out crap accessories in favour of fixing issues like this and these figures would be that bit closer to perfect.
Please Hasbro... no more gaps and massive open spaces on the bots... I’ll never buy 3rd party ever again if they bring their quality up to match the ridiculous prices.
I’d be excited if they release Dinobot Skarr in a leader class scale for legacy. They mentioned something about the idea of a leader class Skarr so hopefully that can happen.
So lucky to have found this guy at my local comic book store while I was looking for animated bee. I think out of all the dinobots, I have only ever found grimlock at retail, the rest were from flea markets or comic stores
I really hope they reissue the other Dinobots over time as wave fillers tbh I missed Grimlock as I thought he was gonna be the only SS86 Dinobot and with that I skipped him and decided on every one since until Snarl appeared because of the stream where they revealed Skarr more officially than that one article. The thought of a leader Skarr coming that was planted has me excited, and I now actually want these leader Dinos
The knee ratchet on my slag self destructed since the ratchet is literally a piece of thin plastic flexing in and out of place of the teeth of the rotation joint
You're the only person who mentions the plastic accessory not snapping into place correctly or if you jump the proverbial (non existent gun) I'd be afraid for noticeable stress marks! Luckily I read the instructions and I soaked it in hot water so it'd be malleable, and I wanted to transform him anyway, so I moved his head down held a soft piece of cloth, and pushed it into places! Also, the fore arms are super tight! I removed his dino front feet, and carefully used a plastic screwdriver to get em to release and perfectomundo! And no stress marks or nothing broken!!
Just got mine so watched the review afterwards, I agree on the tail. Was so annoying at first but I just accepted it and I'm cool with it now but I do have an issue of the small gap and lack of posablility of the dino head
I just got Snarl myself, and as you touched on he definitely feels the most fun out of the bunch, or at least since Grimlock anyway. He's entertaining and easy to transform, unlike Slag and Sludge. Slag's backpack is incredibly finnicky to line up right when getting him into dino mode, and Sludge has the weak knees and a pretty difficult transformation. I love them all, since it's always been a dream to have G1 cartoon accurate Dinobots, but only Grimlock and Snarl feel like *toys* I can fiddle with on my desk rather than statues to be posed every once in a while. I have hopes Swoop will be another highlight, given how lithe and straightforward his design is.
I think you're right about G1 toy accurate repaints with the clear sections coming one day. The Toxitron Grimlock has the clear neck, and there is, in fact, greebling under there. I think the Studio Series 86 Grim was originally going to have a transparent neck, also, but they changed their minds allegedly to be more animation accurate. Is that right, or am I making stuff up?
Just picked this guy up at target last night. Massively disappointing that the tail can't be repositioned :( Other than that it's a nice figure, and looks dope next to Sludge. Gonna keep my eyes out for reruns of the other two and I eagerly await swoop as well
I must've hit the QC jackpot with my Sludge. I've never had the knee problems that so many folks have. *knock on wood* My snarl just came today, and I'm really loving him so far-might just pick up the Toyhax set for 'im.
we are waiting for a swoop to make vulcanius the legendary gestalt and also a set with all of them on the ze movie that is, all series 86nu now we are really waiting for a swoop sorry for the mistakes I am Russian and I write through a translator

Why o why did they make his head and legs in yellow plastic? It doesn't mesh with the other dinobots. I would have been fine with them using yellow instead of gold on all the bots (a movie-accurate lighter yellow) but not this weird combination of not-gold and darker yellow.
Likely to do with paint chipping. The way snarls head splits apart and tucks into his legs in robot mode could easily cause paint to chip. With the other three dinobots, their heads don't split apart or have to hide.
You missed a step in the alt transformation. The knees need to slide in to accommodate transformation. Also, the sword tabs in from underneath, not on his back.
Hasbros distribution is weird man...
Hey I've been Wondering this for a While, Why Aren't you collecting the 86 Dinobots?
@@joaoandlucas5867 I just like the gen selects one better
I mean… breakdown hasn’t arrived in my area yet.
@@joaoandlucas5867 I missed grimlock and hes going for ridiculous amounts on ebay and I don't want to collect the rest without him
@@livingcheese2910 I can’t even find him online

I definitely like ‘‘em big and chunky
They said they're moving on to the AoE dinobots once the 86 ones are over
I honestly also hope that they release dinobot Scarr from the core class dinos as a Leader in Lagacy. Maybe Slash too, since she already has a g1-ish design. I mean, can you have enough Dinobots? I don't think so.
I hope they don’t
Those suck ass

The toy style versions might fix that inconsistency

I managed to get SS86 Grimlock last week for $50 at a local convention. I now have the impulse to complete the dinobots.
Got mine today, love this figure! 4 down and 1 to go, to complete inscale dinobots!!!

I sure hope so, it was clear they got the message after they talked about getting massive positive feedback and requests for a leader class
Would definitely be cool to get a sort of "Dinobot B team" with Skarr, Paddles, Slash, and Scorn
@@tracytron7162 leader class paddle would be insane lmfao
God I really wanna get this, Snarl is my favourite Transformer, I got one as a kid in the 90s
I hope Amazon preorders ship out soon 🤞 been dying to get my hands on this guy!
Same it says mine is coming august 3rd and I want him now
Hasbro should re package grimlock and slag when swoop comes out because they are incredibly hard to find
Order from a store in nz theres plenty here
So lucky to have found this guy at my local comic book store while I was looking for animated bee. I think out of all the dinobots, I have only ever found grimlock at retail, the rest were from flea markets or comic stores
2:45 that GRIP tho lol
sludge did somethin bad lol
1:05
Lol Snarl trying to become Solid Snake
I am so excited for swoop I really hope he is also the same size as the rest and has swords for the original 3
I really hope they reissue the other Dinobots over time as wave fillers tbh I missed Grimlock as I thought he was gonna be the only SS86 Dinobot and with that I skipped him and decided on every one since until Snarl appeared because of the stream where they revealed Skarr more officially than that one article.

08:34 was that an asdf movie reference?
I don’t collect own any dinobot but this dinobot really attracts me to buy it.
Use me as a "Re-release 86 Grimlock" button.
only one left…. and my wallet will be spared😓
Mine weeps for the pain to stop, lol i collect waves so you can see why
8:05 Listen, if mis-transforming Snarl is the worst mistake you make this week? You’re doing OK. I would not call you a bumbling moron for it.

Nice man can’t wait for swoop
Normally i care the least about snarl but this actually looks like the best one!
The yellow parts needed to be gold.
When they are all in Dino mode Snarl looks really bad next to the others, looks unfinished
"Let's put him in the Jesus pose" *actually puts him in the Mata Nui pose *
Forget “Feeling” Strange, that knee bend “Looked” Strange.
Goood I'm so excited for getting this guy and them releasing Swoop
Enjoyed that! Maybe your funniest review too. Looking forward to Snarl landing over here. Surprised you don't like Slug/Slag though.
9:35 thok jumpscare.
Snarl is my favorite dinobot and I'm so glad this exists and I cannot wait to get mine!
Snarl's knees gave me ASMR tingles, so 20/10 ❤
I agree but I really don’t like how they are gradually brining back sliding rail joints, Leo convoy, gamer Optimus, this guy, and a few others
I really hope they make Swoop in both a red and blue depending on if you want either a toy or cartoon accurate model
My pre order for this guy only just arrived and upon watching the video I realise I put the back piece on the wrong way
Stuff some plastic pellets in the joints of sludge fixed him instantly
So confused why they did him before Swoope.
I found mine in a GameStop while on a trip to tennesee lol

Slide the thighs inward and he tabs together in dinosaur mode even better. A lot of people miss that step.
Please review the Cybertron Supreme Starscream.
8:33 I see you are a man of culture
I love the Dinobots I have slug and I’m gonna get snarl and sludge but I can’t find Grimlock! That Toy Guy please tell me where you got Grimlock from!
that is one angry potato
Man, where did you get your Grimlock? I have been looking for about a year and I have yet to find a website that doesn’t sell it for triple the price
Just picked this guy up at target last night. Massively disappointing that the tail can't be repositioned :( Other than that it's a nice figure, and looks dope next to Sludge. Gonna keep my eyes out for reruns of the other two and I eagerly await swoop as well
Really like the Intro
I know you keep mentioning how your furnace keeps making noise but I never really notice it during your videos.
Just wondering but, are you still continuing your series Bionicle The Journey to Home? Again just wondering because I really enjoy that series.
He looks great, so ready for him and swoop
I can’t wait to get him & man Canada is getting everything super early
Snarl, I mean Slag, I mean Slug, I mean Spike, I mean-
My preorder still hasn’t shipped yet
Can the torso be extended in bot mode? Just extending slightly could fix that hip problem.
I must've hit the QC jackpot with my Sludge. I've never had the knee problems that so many folks have. *knock on wood* My snarl just came today, and I'm really loving him so far-might just pick up the Toyhax set for 'im.
Definitely wanna shift the lower legs of the robot outward at the knee. Kinda triggered my ocd throughout the vid.
Snart like Captain Cold Leonard Snart
I really want to collect the planet X dinobots (grimlock, slug, snarl) but because it's hard to find, the SS 86 is a good alternative.
Can't wait until 2033 comes around and they finally make foc grimlock
ASDFMOVIE REFERENCE EVERYONE WE GOT AN ASDFMOVIE REFERENCE!!!
Colours are a bit off with the others like the lack of gold on his head
I missed out on grimlock and the other 2 mfs
Beautiful version
I fear we will never get Swoop
Great review That Toy Guy!!! Snarl looks really impressive, and I hope that we get Swoop before the year 2023 ends. Keep on being amazing.
Love it. But they should've painted the head.
I don't care how the ratchets sound as long as they're tight.
Snart i mean snart i mean snart i mea-
My shelf space is no match for the heft of these big Dino boys.
"I am a stegosaurus" 🗿
This looks good! 💯👍🦾💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

We need a new voyager class aoe lockdown
Studio Series 86 wont do Scarr but can Legacy Uni make a Leader Class Scarr?
I can’t find this guy anywhere!
My second favorite Dinobot and I feel like they did my boy justice. I feel like that transformation is different than the usual Snarl transformation?
I have the power of the primes version and this just looks so much better
And by brother sat on snarls sword and it broke 😔
snarting on main eh
I only have SS 86 grimlock
Snarl ate a bit too many bagels.
. . . Why are half his gold parts orange instead of gold like the rest of them?? Dammit Hasbro! **sigh, facepalm**
Mabey ill get him

Why must people call Slag "slug"
Bro why u didn’t have to do that to bro
Yeah Slag Isn't as Good As the others, But I For One Still liked it
Its impossible to get them in europe

That yellow plastic smh.
