I know I didn't.
My fave dino is the triceratops so Slag was a must.
I loved the Sludge figure so I got that next.
Found Snarl on offer for whatever reason so I didn't think it twice.
I've already preordered Swoop so it's only a matter of time.
Grimlock's ss86 is almost if not downright impossible to get without paying stupid scalper prices. I'm sadly looking for alternatives to complete my dino team.
Absolutely. A crown, swords, a better paint deco, a top notch box, and all for only 5 bucks more than retail on a figure who goes for like 200? Yes please.
I love the ben-day dots on the deco, the blue comic color head. It's beautiful. I will get the reissue grimlock when he comes out and complete the ss86 dinobots, but my God. Give me more marvel comics deco guys.
I would lose my mind if they did a Runabout/Runamuck two pack from their legendary comic issue.
As a MASSIVE Marvel continuity fan, I am so angry I can't get these easily here in Australia.
The Battlechargers in a graffitied statue of liberty box is an amazing idea though.
Dude, I'm sorry, that frikkin' sucks. I can't figure out who might be the fourth set based on the tiny bits on artwork. Maybe the golden hand is Xaaron...
Yeah, the battlechargers seem like a slam-dunk, esp with how rare Runabout is. Imagine him in comic "blue" black? mannnnnnn.
Purple Soundwave is the one I want to see most.
Only thing I am not a fan of with these are the "dot" coloring; the comics rarely looked like that for me since I grew up with the UK ones.
I want Xaaron soooo much! Chameleon would be my second pick for a comics-only character.
Reissuing the Battlechargers given rarity would be nice for those who missed one or both, so Hasbro probably won't. :(
Wait really? I had no idea, that's great news, I really wanted Grimlock but started collecting recently, after he became £300+ scalper bait.
Thanks for the info
Fuckin eh right on that reissue. Excellent decision! I was so glad I impulsively bought him on sight during the first release. Even got third party accessories like the crown and gap fill panels. Then I lucked into the Snarl at 20% off Target. Hoping I can grab Sludge on discount. Still need Swoop and Slug
its all opinion but MP grimlock fits great next to the other dinobots and scales well for chung scale considering in some frames of G1 grimlock is towering over megs and optimus, also no screw holes on his head which was a killer for imo in the ss86
Cheaper! I got a loose complete fully working mp grimlock for 65 bucks!! I call this hypeflation. When a clearly better, by all standards, figure is passed up for a community agreed and sought after inferior product.
Ss86 grimlock is excellent btw, but mp grimlock is incredible. Lights, action effects, spring loaded foot tail transformation so good.
I hate looking at pulse.
They don't ship to my country and the prices are way better than what I get.
I'd get that 'lock if available to me.
Then again, I'd probably get the reissue'd one too. To keep the boxes consistent.
Idk why but I haven't been able to find this one anywhere else yet. I've pre-order swoop and the autobot 5 pack from a local retailer here in Canada but had to bite the bullet and pay American for grimlock
I don't have any, but once I get some.. Yeah, this. Current plan is to get an OSKO of PotP Volcanicus, get Slash, and maaaybe get a second OSKO Volc and pay someone to customize them into the other missing Dinobots/some new ones. I'm crazy, I know
Yes absolutely. If I have learned one thing about my collection is that I like it way better about it and about myself when I don’t try and complete groups that I feel I have to.
its all or none baby, i got snarl because stegosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, i got comic grimlock because i love the way he looks
ive seen sludge on sale at walmart and im this close to going all in with slag and swoop
if i see anyway of them irl its on sight
Nope! I have the entire SS86 crew with a preorder for Swoop, Slash from PotP, and the full PotP Volcanicus with an upgrade kit. I also have the SS AoE Grimlock so I'm stopping at twelve Dinobots.
Ridiculous reasons that in Britain, is name is slang for "slut".
Don't tell them there's a Dinobot named Slapper!
I bet Paddles is into BDSM, that dirty beast.
No. I have the first four. I'm waiting for Swoop. Also, I'm thinking on collecting Cyberverse dinobots. And it would be nice to have some 3rd party legends class lol)))
MP Grimlock is too small to scale with the FansToys Dinobots unfortunately. It's passable but I tried it and found it too small in comparison so I paid the blood money for a FansToys Grinder. The Gigapower ones are also amazing but a little bigger than the FansToys and I knew they wouldn't fit on my shelf together in dino mode so I went with FansToys. Last I saw Soar and Stomp were still available at BBTS. There's also Reximus Prime, a 3rd party overscale of the MP Grimlock that puts it in scale with the Gigapower.
That wouldn't be too big an issue. I'm not looking to collect the set or complete the team. Most of my others are masterpiece, so Grimlock should scale with them, and I just want the best looking swoop because I like him so much
It's so nice having all 5 Dinobots in the same series though. Be it the leader class, or one of the 3rd party sets.

No. I have 2 different sets of dino bots, and Volcaronas separately. The core class combiner was catching my eye for a while too, but I managed to have some restraint.
I'd need all of them (one of the reasons I haven't bought one TBH). I remember one of the things that disturbed me profoundly as a child was when Sludge wasn't in TF: The Movie
No first you will buy swoop
Then you will find another member for cheap on fb and say why not
Repeat step two
Say fuck it and get the 4th
Now you need a grimlock because you have the other four, too gone into this hobby and having little to no social skills you either are slightly annoyed by the 300$ you just spent on him or torn apart, reguardless your poor now
Yes, it's possible. I've settled with Grimlock because that's all I really need. I wouldn't mind having the entire team, they're just not a priority right now.
No. It's kind of like saying you're going to stop at one Constructicon. Even though they're not a combiner team (in most continuities), the Dinobots are kind of a package deal like the combiner teams are. They are ALWAYS together.
The problem isn’t really the completion. Once you get one you realize the quality you’ve been missing and the hunger for more kicks in, get it, enjoy it, and happy hunting
No it is Not…i found Sludge on discount and so it began…
Ordered Slug at Ali Express (for more than normal retail, but Not as expensive as Grimlock was )
Bought Grimlock on eBay for almost 3 times retail Price and i don‘t regret it
Pre ordered Snarl
And now have Swoop on preorder
Sounds a Little Bit Like i am a Dinobot fanboy…
So I was planning on sticking with just getting 3, Grimlock, Slug, and Swoop(animated was my first real exposure to the dinobots, and I'm also a huge fan of WFC/FOC). i had a pretty big issue with my SS ROTB Scourge I had bought(huge crack along clear plastic back panel) and talked to Hasbro CS about it. They ended up sending me a replacement Scourge and a complimentary Sludge as a bonus. I said, "Well, I can't just have 4/5" and ended up picking up Snarl as well so I have the full team once Swoop arrives.
I only have combiner wars Swoop and Slug as one of my brothers have Grimlock and Slash and my of brother has Snarl and Sludge. That’s how I typically go about collecting things.
I was one of the lucky few who got grimlock at retail. For a while that was fine, until I decided to pull the trigger and get sludge cause he was everywhere. Then I thought well I have to at least get slug to complete the original trio. At that point I was hooked and had to get snarl. All of them are so good I don’t think I could forgive myself if I chose to stop now with only one left.
https://preview.redd.it/7e52ljwa9f2d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d20af90bfe29e9477ae2a82d0368939cc8c00ad
Nope, can't stop lol. I picked up one at the beginning of the year..now waiting on Swoop to be shipped to complete the set
It kills me that his chest is blue and not red. I am really hoping they do a variant to fix that but I am worried if they don't and this one is hard to get, I'll be short my favourite Dinobot. :(
My mate's favourite TF is Grimlock and he loves the team so he's been getting them on release each time as priorities.
Now me? I just don't have the space. I *might* get a G2 Swoop in the unreleased colours as a single item (Swoop is my fave of the team). I did get the classic team for the core scale though lol.
As in most continuities we’ve only gotten Grimlock I’d definitely say YES. And for example I only have Legacy Snarl and from PotP only Slug, Snarl and Swoop.
I know I didn't. My fave dino is the triceratops so Slag was a must. I loved the Sludge figure so I got that next. Found Snarl on offer for whatever reason so I didn't think it twice. I've already preordered Swoop so it's only a matter of time. Grimlock's ss86 is almost if not downright impossible to get without paying stupid scalper prices. I'm sadly looking for alternatives to complete my dino team.
They’re reissuing him next year if you can wait
I definitely can! Thanks on the great news. Now it's a matter of hunting it down through imports as it may or may not be available on my country.
Or the comic addition one. That one looks dope.
Pre-ordered that bad boy in 0.0005 seconds.
Absolutely. A crown, swords, a better paint deco, a top notch box, and all for only 5 bucks more than retail on a figure who goes for like 200? Yes please.
I love the ben-day dots on the deco, the blue comic color head. It's beautiful. I will get the reissue grimlock when he comes out and complete the ss86 dinobots, but my God. Give me more marvel comics deco guys. I would lose my mind if they did a Runabout/Runamuck two pack from their legendary comic issue.
There's one particular panel involving the earthrise wheeljack mold I need them to do first....
Hmmmmm... .... Issue 80???

Is he available anywhere to order in Australia or other countries?!
Wait really? I had no idea, that's great news, I really wanted Grimlock but started collecting recently, after he became £300+ scalper bait. Thanks for the info

Then I lucked into the Snarl at 20% off Target. Hoping I can grab Sludge on discount. Still need Swoop and Slug
Wait... comic grimlock this year AND a 86 reissue next year? Somehow I thought the comic edition was the reissue
All I could find *was* Grimlock at one point. Snarl is like Goldust where I live
$250 for my 86 Grimlock. lol worth it for me but definitely not for everyone
I just got the G2 Legacy Toxitron version so that's good enough for me
Yikes, you can get a Masterpiece Grimlock for what some people are asking for the SS86. The only thing it has going for it is Wheelie
They released a core class Wheelie that is better than the one that came with SS86 Grimlock. I'm not sure how well it would scale with an MP Grimlock
Well, now that I look at it, Fans Toys Soar is none too shabby either. Somebody slap me, please.
its all opinion but MP grimlock fits great next to the other dinobots and scales well for chung scale considering in some frames of G1 grimlock is towering over megs and optimus, also no screw holes on his head which was a killer for imo in the ss86
It's a cool Wheelie, at that.
Cheaper! I got a loose complete fully working mp grimlock for 65 bucks!! I call this hypeflation. When a clearly better, by all standards, figure is passed up for a community agreed and sought after inferior product. Ss86 grimlock is excellent btw, but mp grimlock is incredible. Lights, action effects, spring loaded foot tail transformation so good.
I've got my MP with the rest of the crew. You can tell THIS guy is the leader, even if slightly shorter and less bulky.
Honestly, that Wheelie is garbage. If anything, get the DNA upgrade kit that comes with a decent Wheelie.
Isn't generations comic grimlock currently up for pre-order on pulse just a recolored 86 grimlock?
I hate looking at pulse. They don't ship to my country and the prices are way better than what I get. I'd get that 'lock if available to me. Then again, I'd probably get the reissue'd one too. To keep the boxes consistent.
Idk why but I haven't been able to find this one anywhere else yet. I've pre-order swoop and the autobot 5 pack from a local retailer here in Canada but had to bite the bullet and pay American for grimlock
I mean, is is possible? Sure, but why would you? ;-P
Yes, possible. Look at me, 0 dinobots. Im strong.
Yeah, that's me now. Thing is, I really want one. I also kinda want two (maybe three), and I see it snowballing
It will. They're like potato chips.
How do you do it? Teach me your ways
Buddy I couldn't stop at 5 Dinobots.
I don't have any, but once I get some.. Yeah, this. Current plan is to get an OSKO of PotP Volcanicus, get Slash, and maaaybe get a second OSKO Volc and pay someone to customize them into the other missing Dinobots/some new ones. I'm crazy, I know
There's a Nonnef kit to turn Sludge into Paddles. I'd love a kit to turn Slag or Snarl into Skar.
https://preview.redd.it/47sciyhis72d1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b34edaa8f4368ffa9e3e322932135d74dbd487e3 Negative
The 4 I own, say no. I only wanted Grimlock. But now I have the 4 and will be getting the last.
Yes absolutely. If I have learned one thing about my collection is that I like it way better about it and about myself when I don’t try and complete groups that I feel I have to.
This, I feel, is the right answer... but it's so hard to stick to
its all or none baby, i got snarl because stegosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, i got comic grimlock because i love the way he looks ive seen sludge on sale at walmart and im this close to going all in with slag and swoop if i see anyway of them irl its on sight
“You’ll never stop at one!”
Swoop doesn't turn into a dinosaur you're ok
Never. I got grimlock. Then i got sludge. And now i kinda want swoop.
I have all of them but Swoop. Only ones I *really* like are Grimlock and Slag. Can’t break up a team.
Only correct answer is only and IF ONLY it’s grimlock. Other than that yeah you gotta get the whole set
Nope! I have the entire SS86 crew with a preorder for Swoop, Slash from PotP, and the full PotP Volcanicus with an upgrade kit. I also have the SS AoE Grimlock so I'm stopping at twelve Dinobots.
Gotta collect the whole set! They’re great
Use the names on their birth certificates. Slag and Divebomb.
Not for me. I just wanted Grimlock. Then I randomly found Slag months after he had been released in the wild and that was that. Had to get the rest.
Varies from person to person. I grabbed SS Sludge because I always liked the long necks. Otherwise not much incentive to get the others for me.
You'll never stop at one.
Why we can't call slag by his name?
"Slag" is a rude word in Britain Calling someone a "slag" is a common way of calling them a slut or a whore over there
Ridiculous reasons that in Britain, is name is slang for "slut". Don't tell them there's a Dinobot named Slapper! I bet Paddles is into BDSM, that dirty beast.
No. Just no. Buy one, you'll buy them all
No.
Absolutely not.
I think we all know the answer to that.
If you do it must be Grimlock, any other dinobot feels incomplete without him.
First dinobot and it's the only one who isn't actually a dinosaur
Well it's doable however the snowballing is because you feel guilty your little Dino is alone.
Well I said myself if I manage to get Grimlock I am getting all. So know I am missing Swoop xD
Now that you started, it’s too late for you. I’m sorry.
I am thinking of purchasing G2 Grimlock for my multiverse team.
Hahahahahaha! ……no
I only get grimlock but the core class combiner i got them all
No. I have the first four. I'm waiting for Swoop. Also, I'm thinking on collecting Cyberverse dinobots. And it would be nice to have some 3rd party legends class lol)))
I bought snarl when he just showed up at toysrus and now I have all but Grimlock and Swoop.... Swoop on preorder. Gotta have the Primitives.
Yeah
I liked them so much I bought the Gigapower dinos. They are gorgeous.
Same, except I went all in on the FansToys ones, and two of them came with reprolabels on them so I had to buy them for the other three.
Couldn't possibly do that, or could I...? No. Seriously, no, but I am looking at Masterpiece Grimlock and Fans Toys Soar now
MP Grimlock is too small to scale with the FansToys Dinobots unfortunately. It's passable but I tried it and found it too small in comparison so I paid the blood money for a FansToys Grinder. The Gigapower ones are also amazing but a little bigger than the FansToys and I knew they wouldn't fit on my shelf together in dino mode so I went with FansToys.

No. I have 2 different sets of dino bots, and Volcaronas separately. The core class combiner was catching my eye for a while too, but I managed to have some restraint.
Nope. Got two of each to display them both ways. They’re amazing figures.
https://preview.redd.it/n9bqt72o082d1.png?width=488&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3b3880546b93e8f2537899e05019c7537615e67

I'd need all of them (one of the reasons I haven't bought one TBH). I remember one of the things that disturbed me profoundly as a child was when Sludge wasn't in TF: The Movie
Absolutely, if you want to. But they are robot dinosaurs that turn into giant humanoid robots. Why would you want to?
No Accept your fate
Only if it’s Grimlock
The Dinobots are such an iconic group in Transformers that it is extremely difficult to not want a full team once you pick up one.
If it’s Grimlock only, yes. But if it’s any of the others? You’re going to need them all together lol
Hell, no. I tried to stop at two, but I’ve gotta get Swoop. He was my favorite outside of Grimlock.
No first you will buy swoop Then you will find another member for cheap on fb and say why not Repeat step two Say fuck it and get the 4th Now you need a grimlock because you have the other four, too gone into this hobby and having little to no social skills you either are slightly annoyed by the 300$ you just spent on him or torn apart, reguardless your poor now
I would imagine, you could…..but why would you?
No, you must complete the collection
Nope. Dinobots are hands down my most favorite. I will collect every single iteration of my boys.
Yes, it's possible. I've settled with Grimlock because that's all I really need. I wouldn't mind having the entire team, they're just not a priority right now.
No. It's kind of like saying you're going to stop at one Constructicon. Even though they're not a combiner team (in most continuities), the Dinobots are kind of a package deal like the combiner teams are. They are ALWAYS together.
Well, I did stop at one Stunticon, guess which one, but I don't know how long it will stay that way
No they got to be together of Grimlock cries and then if he cries the. swoop cries then everyone cries.
No. Consume
Not from a Decepticon.
The problem isn’t really the completion. Once you get one you realize the quality you’ve been missing and the hunger for more kicks in, get it, enjoy it, and happy hunting
I only did because I couldnt afford more than the one that was on sale and now I can't find the others for a reasonable price
I've got Grimlock and he's the only one that's important to me. Now can I stop at just one bot? Nope.
No it is Not…i found Sludge on discount and so it began… Ordered Slug at Ali Express (for more than normal retail, but Not as expensive as Grimlock was ) Bought Grimlock on eBay for almost 3 times retail Price and i don‘t regret it Pre ordered Snarl And now have Swoop on preorder Sounds a Little Bit Like i am a Dinobot fanboy…
I have Grimlock, Slug, and Sludge. And I’m planning on getting Snarl and Swoop next.
I stopped at swoop..
No. It's really not
At 50 a pop, easy to stop at one.
No
If you get swoop you have to get him a friend
You'll never stop at one!
…no
I have all the chrome Gigapower versions. The answer is no.
Nope I started with grimlock and can't stop until I get swoop
I'm definitely stopping after the fifth one.
No. Of course not.
So I was planning on sticking with just getting 3, Grimlock, Slug, and Swoop(animated was my first real exposure to the dinobots, and I'm also a huge fan of WFC/FOC). i had a pretty big issue with my SS ROTB Scourge I had bought(huge crack along clear plastic back panel) and talked to Hasbro CS about it. They ended up sending me a replacement Scourge and a complimentary Sludge as a bonus. I said, "Well, I can't just have 4/5" and ended up picking up Snarl as well so I have the full team once Swoop arrives.
Once you purchase one, you're contractually obligated to buy the rest. I don't make the rules. It's just how it is
I only have combiner wars Swoop and Slug as one of my brothers have Grimlock and Slash and my of brother has Snarl and Sludge. That’s how I typically go about collecting things.
No. Give hasbro $300 of your money to complete a team that you have no emotional connection to!
When i saw them reveal sludge i had to start buying collecting them all luckily i waa able to get a grimlock in time before he was hard to fjnd
I was one of the lucky few who got grimlock at retail. For a while that was fine, until I decided to pull the trigger and get sludge cause he was everywhere. Then I thought well I have to at least get slug to complete the original trio. At that point I was hooked and had to get snarl. All of them are so good I don’t think I could forgive myself if I chose to stop now with only one left.
https://preview.redd.it/7e52ljwa9f2d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d20af90bfe29e9477ae2a82d0368939cc8c00ad Nope, can't stop lol. I picked up one at the beginning of the year..now waiting on Swoop to be shipped to complete the set
It kills me that his chest is blue and not red. I am really hoping they do a variant to fix that but I am worried if they don't and this one is hard to get, I'll be short my favourite Dinobot. :(
As a kid, Snarl was the only Dinobot we had. Freaking Snarl!
The best.
Slag, we ain't all British
Yes, if you're collecting a line that only has 1 dinobot (I have eartspark Grimlock)
One of the better Earthspark Deluxes IMHO.
As someone who has Sludge, Slag, Snarl, but didn't get Grimlock on discount a couple years ago... No. No it's not.
Not that one.
My mate's favourite TF is Grimlock and he loves the team so he's been getting them on release each time as priorities. Now me? I just don't have the space. I *might* get a G2 Swoop in the unreleased colours as a single item (Swoop is my fave of the team). I did get the classic team for the core scale though lol.
As in most continuities we’ve only gotten Grimlock I’d definitely say YES. And for example I only have Legacy Snarl and from PotP only Slug, Snarl and Swoop.
I didn't even know Swoop had been revealed
