Transformers Legacy toyline

[Shadewing]

I see the colors being at least 90% toy. If we look at the previous 4 Pretenders we've gotten; they've tried to homage both shell and robot/vehicle. So I imagine that we'll see some gold and silver mixed in with the majorly blue/green/white look. I could see Kakuryu having the gold/yellow on his dino head/helmet and the rest of him being a green or brown; since as long as DinoKing's chest is yellow/gold I feel they'd be more willing to play with his colors. Same with Sludge, since his colors have almost no effect on DinoKing.

As for weapons: I'm hoping for a Gun and Scythe since this is a Pulsecon exclusive; and he did use a gun at least once in the show.

They could have double dipped and had one version that's wholly inner bot colored and another set that's wholly shell colors, but I doubt they did that.

I wonder if we'll get a recoloured/remolded Monstructor too?

 

[Haze Arquebus]

You know of any other modern Vans he can be made from?

It can be done:

These two were the custom class options for TFCon Orlando 2023.

It's not that I don't like the look, it's more that the mold's already been 5 guys already and I don't want one of my favs to end up a floppy mess from degradation.

Honestly guys I will be STUNNED if there is any remolding of any kind on Dinoking. Cores just don't ever seem to get that. I absolutely don't expect any.

I think a few new parts have better odds probably but still probably are not a definite.


-ZacWilliam, I would love it if they remolded them all into Pretender Monsters but I don't expect that even a little bit.

 

[unluckiness]

They’re a passable Dinoforce but would make absolutely terrible Monstructor parts unless they’ve got a couple new molds lying around.

Gotta agree, remolding on Core class is pretty rare (this is the main reason why I still collect Deluxe and Voyager, really). On the other hand, we did get pretooling or something for Core Ironhide and Ratchet, and Dinoking was almost everyone's first thought when the Core Dinobots got announced, especially when it was revealed they combined. If someone at Hasbro/TakTomy designed these figures with alternate tooling from the get-go, then it's not outside the realm of possibility to see some differences between the 2 sets.
I would love to see at least Goryu and Kakuryu get a little something to differentiate them from Grimlock and Slag, but I'm not going to hold my breath for it, either.

 

[Sabrblade]

But then again, it is going to be a PulseCon exclusive, which could warrant a little extra effort put into it. But I wouldn't expect more than head retools for the robot heads and some of the dino heads. At the very least, the combiner head should be changed since there is no way Volcanicus's head could pass for Dinoking's head, no matter how it's colored.

 

[unluckiness]

They should retool poor Snarl’s legs so he doesn’t have to drag his chin on whatever he’s walking on.

 

[Lobjob]

It always felt like the only reason the core dinobots existed at all was because they were pretooled to be dinoking. Its the only reason the dinobots wonkiness makes sense. I can't wait to see this Dinoforce in action.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

That's understandable, but I hate it.

 

[Shadewing]

That's understandable, but I hate it.

I always knew these guys were going to be a set and an exclusive. Just wasn't sure how or where.

 

[unluckiness]

Worse comes to worst, there will probably be other markets to buy from.

 

[Sabrblade]

Yeah, the only way the Dinoforce would have been sold at retail would have been as individual figures like the Dinobots were. A gift set with potentially extra bells and whistles likely wouldn't have fit into any of the defined retail price points, meaning it was always going to be a special venue release.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

At least it'll still be the cheapest Dinoking on the market.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

At least it'll still be the cheapest Dinoking on the market.

Unless you count any possible, overpriced upgrade kits in the total price?

 

[unluckiness]

Why would you though? If you get a Big Mac at McDonald’s and buy a $100 jar of pickles to put on it, that doesn’t make the Big Mac the most expensive sandwich on the market.

Even then, unless the kits are made of solid gold, it’s not coming close to the prices G1 Dinoking or even the old crappy 3P one command.

 

[Badgertron]

I'm somewhat confidant that any remolding they do will be intended to pull double duty as Dinoking & Monstructor, with a fair bit of compromise in there. If they're setting it up as a box set, that also might mean additional new parts or accessories, like some of the Combiner Wars boxed sets.

 

[Glitch]

Blow them core Dinobots up to voyager class and make it the next titan.
