Yeah, putting g1 characters in that scale is daft. On the flip side, Rattrap needs to be bigger to be in scale (with the orther maximals). Core is too small for him. He only comes up to the deluxe's hips, and needs to be they're chests.
Most BWs need to be smaller than core to be in scale (more akin to battlemasters), but a few like Megatron, Depth Charge and Rampage works.

At no point has Dinobot ever had a lavender sword. But more importantly, it means that he randomly has a lavender tail tip.
And as for "adherence is limiting," these characacters haven't had a dozen updates like their G1 counterparts (many of whom are getting their first accurate update only now)
When dinobot is on his fifth toy in five years, then I'll be ready for one that's a little less limited in it's interpretation.

Maybe I'm just bitter because Kingdom looks like such a better value proposition than MP :S

Oh I understand that. And boy Blackarachnia sure makes me feel that way! They're even nearly the same size! Kingdom Cheetor isn't show accurate like MP cheetor (particularly with the realistic cheetah mode), but it brushes against those same feelings. I don't have Primal so I can't speak for him, but he looks like he will too. Megatron does not, for me though. It does a few things differently (like the very detailed "rubber" skin). And I am currently more impressed with Kingdom Dinobot than MP. And with Shadow Panther and Tigatron on the way, the only MP not on slate is LioConvoy.
But all in all, if I weren't an obsessive BW fan and only really wanted a great straight update of the character... i'd be very torqued at all the money I had "waisted" on the MPs.

I really don't like these holden disk cards. Either I don't understand them at all, or I keep getting duplicates.
I'd much rather have a nice little poster of their gorgeous box art.

It's just the photo I think. Oddly makes it look like a Legends figure despite being shot from down low.

Simple. It's the wrong Inferno. He cares nothing for the Glory of the Royalty.
