It's easy to be hard on the POTP Dinobots when we have the stellar SS86 figures. But, at that point, that was the first time we had the full team since 1986(?), and combining is a neat trick (even if it wasn't totally successful). Plus, compared to what was being released at the time, they weren't terrible figures.
Of course, I say this despite selling my set over a year ago...

I can say that, as I still have mine, and the SS guys, and Cyberverse guys, and will be getting the Core guys... And if they do blue or grey Terrorsuar as BW Swoop, I'll get him to go with BW Grimlock too..
The Potpie set isn't awful for the most part. Grimlock's just not a very good torso. Needed stronger connections in the chest and shoulders and more robust hip joints to support the weight.
I like the toys for what they are but also acknowledge their choices to to lean on toy decos doesn't work when the thing that made the G1 Dinobots toy decos so appealing and interesting isn't done anymore in mainline. They just come across as uglier for it.
Though, I’m not sure that’s a necessarily BAD thing given the last time we got a mass retail Generations Bumblebee was during Titans Return.
Maybe the transformation will attempt to replicate some of the flair that Animated toys had. Otherwise this will be kinda pointless.
I saw Rescue Bot Chase listed, and I made a sound. I'm not sure what it was. Wasn't really a squee or squeal, more like a quickly-stifled excited scream.
If that's legit and I can't get my hands on one like RID15 Blurr, they might have to send Chase after me for real, know what I'm sayin'?

Hell, I want regular cool spaceship Omega Supreme. He's long overdue a toy. Also Sari.
I was honestly surprised that the Ark didn't also become a stealth-homage to Animated Omega, and I would not find it odd if it became one for a convention exclusive or something, with a remolded head and hand and a 'toy colors' Mainframe. It's the sort of thing that would have been a pre-pandemic SDCC thing or a PulseCon Selects sort of item.
It's okay, nobody blames you.
Most of us were highly disappointed we never got an Omega Supreme from Animated. The Ark toy from last year is our greatest chance at getting one from a remold.
An Ark remold into Animated Omega Supreme will satisfy absolutely no one.
It’s a Cybertron Brakedown GTS as G1 Kup level homage of a $180 Titan in 80% the same deco that didn’t even sell that well to begin with.
We’re more likely to get a Commander Class Wheelie.
