Now, with Power of the Primes, Hasbro has released their own Dinobot combiner, one voyager, four deluxes and one legends scale.
Slash is a new G1 styled Dinobot- in legends, scale, she is a cool little velociraptor- Not truly designed to combine with the others, she has nonetheless been made to work for some fan modes
In Wave 1, we got Swoop and the renamed Slug(due to connotations of his original name) they are very good, the transformation G1-esque, and not suffering too much from Visible Combiner Syndrome. The one complaint that seems to be near universal is that Hasbro skimped on the weapons
In Wave 2, we got Sludge and Snarl, with the same observations, pro and con- very G1, skimpy weapons.
Grimlock is the Voyager Combiner-torso, and here is where the Visible Combiner syndrome rears it's ugliest head, with the way the combiner ports affect the arms. His look as the torso, however is great. For accessories, instead of a sword or a blaster...we got combiner feet that can plug in like gauntlets on his arms
On great piece of detail and an Homage to G1 is the transparent plastic parts, painted gold on the inside. This gives a great effect, referencing the gold chrome under transparent of the originals.
On another note...I am moving my office to another room, so things may be a tad chaotic for about a month or so. The ultimate benefit however, is worth it.
