My take on Dinobot Slash:
Definitely stronger dinosaur mode. Robot mode actually looks great, but several design elements make him weaker in this form.

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.
dino mode indeed look better than bot mode.
