Ah yes, the exalted feature of folding him into a nondescript box, rattling around and disappointingly plopping out of his compartment like a wet turd at a push of a button.
Now that I think about it, that gimmick doesn’t even use minicon ports does it? Ramjet would probably stay in place if...
Today I learned that the justification that Legacy Tidal Wave doesn't have a Minicon is because Ramjet never actually showed up in the cartoon.
Probably because Tidal Wave's minicon-activated gimmick is so lame.
They’ll probably have some sort of premium release with a trailer at some point, maybe in a year or so, probably as an exclusive, as to not compete with missing Link. Might even use the rumored SS Commander trailer.
Retail distribution’s gotten worse and the same toys are less expensive buying from online specialty stores around here. There is legitimately no reason to go retail as a collector aside from impulse buys.
I don't think even selling them as Dinoking or Monstructor would have changed much. Even Dinoking with a stronger thematic connection to dinosaurs wouldn't have been all that accurate regardless of what route they took with the colors, the individual toys would still be iffy, they'd still be...
The character selection is questionable. If they’re not smaller versions of big guys who also happen to have better/bigger toys on shelves simultaneously, they’re absolute fodder nobodies. And that was before they flooded the size class with the core dinobots who mostly look very similar.
It'd probably look better if the colors weren't so separate, making it very clear that it's three dinosaurs taped together.
The worst part is that they didn't even bother making use of the animal anatomy for most of them. Like a giraffe head and neck could be a railgun, a spear, a sniper rifle...

of course, it is Japan, so odds are someone on the design team’s into it.
Animated Prime’s pretty good as a figure but he could have been more. Like, his fists are attached via ball joints but get locked in place instead of benefitting from the articulation. The narrow hips and the way his feet attach also make standing him in action poses more awkward than it has to...
