That's a wholesale catalogue I think. They don't sell direct. You can find those packs on eBay though, and as said, I've never been in a castle souvenir shop that hasn't had a few. You led me astray! -Ralph Astray?Karl

Terranotron for me. The others have interesting designs, but they also look quite clunky.

RiD Dinobot Terranotron (Swoop) is a repaint of BW Terrorsaur Terrorsaur is the motherload of BW Basic repaints being reused as Lazorbeak, BW Neo Hydra - they are different - Botcon Fractyl, RiD Dinobots Terranotron (briefly released as Swoop), the AOE Walmart Strafe (my BW Swoop), and an unreleased Transcon version as an actual BW Swoop RiD Dinobot Sludge is a repaint of BW Neo Sling RiD Dinobot Slapper is a repaint of BW Neo Bazooka [/div]

The Deluxe Dinobot colours are variations on the 1985 G1 Dinobot theme The basic Dinobots are a little more varied: Slapper is on theme for a G1 Dinobot with his grey & red but I'd like to have seen those colours, or even grey & blue on Terranatron to give us something closer Swoop instead of the dark grey/pale green & orange that he has. I can see what they're aiming at though.... .... unlike Sludge who's the wrong dinosaur to be G1 Sludge and the wrong colours for a G1 Dinobot. Sludge is OK ish as a toy, Slapper is a nightmare to TF and Terranatron is simple but well done. So quite complicated this one with different things pulling in different ways. But I think Terranatron may just wing this cos he's Swoop

Didn't we just vote on this? -Ralph No. We are currently voting on the two packs in the main poll - Deluxe + Basic As is traditional we're breaking the multipacks up in the extra poll, basics first, then deluxe, then individual Dinobots basic & deluxe to come. Urban Camo Combaticons and Yellow Build Team members to come. Minicons soon.

Best thing about these three is that two of the three are clearly new Dinobot's (and the other probably is) swelling the ranks of "Cybertron Sentai Dinobotger" New 'bots, exactly what we want. Now, as toys... Terranotron is definitely the most elegant piece of design. But on the other hand Slapper is an Anklyosaurid type...and is therefore inherently kinda cool. On top of that they have a big shoulder shield in humanoid mode giving them a slightly different silhouette... I think Slapper lays claim to this one for me. Karl

Im pretty sure I got Terrantron and Grimlock 20 odd years ago and if I got either of the others I dont remember so Im sticking with my judgement of 20 years ago.

Slapper.
It's a lovely design, though I prefer it in its original colours. Terranotron is a close second, probably has the nicest colour scheme of the three but the mould is a bit ubiquitous.

I would like any of them but the ankylosaur grabs me and demands to be added to the collection.

RiD Dinobot Terranotron (Swoop) is a repaint of BW Terrorsaur Terrorsaur is the motherload of BW Basic repaints being reused as Lazorbeak, BW Neo Hydra - they are different - Botcon Fractyl, RiD Dinobots Terranotron (briefly released as Swoop), the AOE Walmart Strafe (my BW Swoop), and an unreleased Transcon version as an actual BW Swoop Fun fact!!! Those are not all the same mold! For incomprehensible reasons that no one understands, they made an entirely new, nearly totally identical Terrorsaur mold from scratch, for Lazorbeak! Fractyl and AoE Strafe are the only repaints of Terrorsaur, while all the rest (including Terranotron/Swoop) are repaints of Lazorbeak! None of this is important, I just absolutely love the weirdness of this, and want as many people to know about it as possible!

They are all kinda charming and daft, my favourite is the "just been hit in the head by a piano" version that the Triceratops mould has, with his eyes rolling up in his head Looney Toons style. Karl

I can see everything on the forum bar the first 10 pages of this thread. And I need access to page 1 to set the poll :-(

Triceradon. It has to be - it is a redeco of my favourite mould out of all these toys for a start. Then there is "hit on head by sack of anvils" mode, which is just goshdarned charming. Add the use of the dinosaur head as a massive boxing glove on one arm, and that he is just such a fun package all told and he simply stomps home with it.
