If true, core class Sludge and Slug are complete left fielders. I mean, they're such odd choices normally, but before Grimlock? |

Core Dinobots! Finish the SS86 Dinobots first, you cowards! -Ralph Indeed. I'm not going to get at all excited or invested in Core class Dinobots since Hasbro has a habit of not completing teams at the best of times, and very rarely at that scale. Maybe they picked Slug and Sludge first because they thought people might be tired of Grimlock? I mean, maybe, but then the Core line has already had two releases of Optimus Prime, so they can't be *that* worried about over-saturation... Core: Dinobots are a nice surprise No Studio Series or SS86 listings yet. I'd expect to see at least SS86 Swoop on there |

I am, of course, going to have to buy the Core Dino's in the hopes that this will be the line to give my a decent Snarl.

They need to finish the Dinobot Road they've already started!!!

In Huffer mode, I will say that those Core Dinobots look like arse. And not a nice one either. Dear Hasbro. Fuck off with combining Dinobots. |

You say that, and I'd generally agree with you, but I'm also living in hope that we'll get a Selects repaint of them as Dinoking. Probably without the Pretender shells, but I'll take it anyway. But I'll pass on them as Dinobots.

Sludge and Slug: Oh my god burn them with fire! I mean...what is even going on here??? Combiner or not, who looked at this and thought "this is fine!"? I like the fact kapow have decided sludge transforms into a potato. |

Bless you.
Probably more likely that we'll get Dinoking instead of Monstructor, just because of how heavily they featured in Victory and for so many episodes. But given that Monstructor had a couple of foundational roles in the IDW comics maybe, just maybe, given they're actually showing some interest in comics characters, we'll get a Monstructor instead or as well...
Whatever the case though, we're not getting Pretender shells, that's for sure.

Core Sludge is amazingly tragic. I love how it's being leaned into so that even his box art shows his giant hip-mounted love handles. See! Sludge had them all the time! He'd always had them!

In think they can be rotated down to the sides of his legs, leave them in the position they're in in beast mode |

That seems to settle the discussion :-( He combines via standard 5mm ports and pegs. So he's gonna be extremely unstable, plus highly prone to mold degradation. |

As mentioned above, the positioning of Slag as the top half of the Torso and Sludge as the bottom does rather make you think that a Dinoking/Dinoforce repaint is very much in the designers minds. And whenever you do Dinoking/Dinoforce you automatically think Monstructor/Pretender Monsters So lets assume ALL the Dinobots end up in the position on the combiner which the Dinoforce member with the same beast mode does. This in turn tells you something about the sixth Dinobot needed to form this combiner. It is worth noting we have been this way before in POTP, assuming a Dinobot combiner would become Dinoking: Swoop/Cutthroat had an alternate Wildfly head and Snarl was shown with Doryu's gun!

Fair point. It's still kinda crazy that we didn't actually ever see re-uses of those PottoP Dinobot molds, but back then it was more about the engineering reuses than straight repaints a lot of the time. I think these days, especially with the capsule lines like Speedia 500 and Buzzworthy Bumblebee we can definitely expect repaints. But I think that the chances are also higher that we'll get Shattered Glass Dinobots or G2 Dinobots or Toy Colours Dinobots or something before we actually get different characters. But then we also got a Jhiaxus this year, and Tarn is on the way, so who knows..?
