My take on Dinobot Slash:

Definitely stronger dinosaur mode. Robot mode actually looks great, but several design elements make him weaker in this form.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


First of all, his colors are very striking and vibrant, which makes him the best looking dinobot (in my opinion anyway). His long tail is made of rubber so it's flexible.

At a glance, in robot mode he certainly looks very impressive! Very menacing look.

His kibbles are actually quite acceptable to me, they dont look too much out of place.

He wields dual axes, which come from the underside of the dinosaur arms.

Well, what then are his flaws you ask?

Well, for starters, even though his arms have elbow articulation, but the way the arms bend (sideways, instead of towards the front) means that there's no way to pose him with his fists upwards since there is no wrist articulation. So the only way he will look if you bend his arms is like a gorilla :/

Also, those frills that extend from his knees? I dont like that it gets in the way of his lower torso, and it sticks out too much. Too oversized for me.

Lastly, I'm not sure if it's just my piece, but the ball joints on his hips are wayyyy too lose, which makes posing his legs a pain. Nothing some good nail polish cant fix though.

All in all, pretty decent figure, this one.

i see thanks bro, guess not all dinobots can as good as scorn
btw, how is strafe?

strafe is the other way around, better in robot mode compared to dino mode. but too hard to take pictures because of his massive wingspan lol.

i'll try again later tonight.

Hahaha, I also want to start MP but still never have. The only MP I really truly genuinely interested in is MP12 Lambor because of the sexy alternate mode. Regrettably I missed the boat and the cheapest I found now is something like +RM50 from retail which I'm not willing to bear. Hopefully with the announcement of reissue next year I'll get him and probably will be the only MP I gonna own.  Others MP I like but not genuinely interested, just blank wish and hope to own them because MP line is rather an expensive hobby. I don't like the idea of paying RM200 something for deluxe or RM400-500 for voyager class like figure. Of course the engineering and built quality is totally different class with normal line but still its a bit steep for me I think. Same goes to 3rd party figures.

But you can never compare MP line with normal line. You can always find them abundance after the hype died off especially if you live far south of the region. FOC grimlock kickback, Generations Sandstorm, cosmos still can be found lying around somewhere. I guess the advantage living here, while the new wave is really slow coming here but there's always stock for the most sought after and you no need to kancheong to buy them quickly. Just take your time target only what you really interested in and wait for them to go on sales.

Normally I'd wait for Christmas or end of the year sales. Mostly stores in SG offering a huge cut prices or maybe some sales in AEON.  tongue.gif

Lambor will be reissued. Keep an eye out for that. smile.gif

Found a way to make Dinobot Slash looking slightly better than the original bot mode by just switching his hips parts (the part with the "grass skirts"). It doesn't affect the transformation as now you turn the whole waist joint to the front instead of turning the legs. Try it... wink.gif

credits go to FPrimusUnicron on youtube for showing this mod thumbup.gif.

Hey that does look better! Thanks for sharing bro!
