Toy Review - Age of Extinction Strafe (Deluxe)

[yoshi594]

Your 3rd pic of him has sold me on this figure! i'll wait till he's cheap though!

He looks the best out of the dinobots in terms of design so far. He looks sleek and has a clear shape.

He's probably the most normal looking out of the Dinobots released for me -if you consider a blue, two headed, mechanical flying dinosaur normal.
I may pick him up in a few weeks and throw him in with the Beast Hunters range.

IMHO the original Terrorsaur (slated to be later redecoed as Strafe) is a much better toy than AoE Strafe. Better looking beast & robot modes, superior articulation, more solid figure, and 1/4 the price of AoE Strafe (and thus superior value for money IMHO). Of course, for people who want a toy that looks like Strafe from the film, then AoE Deluxe Strafe works better, but for those who want a better Pteranodon Transformer toy, then I'd recommend the upcoming redeco of Terrorsaur (if indeed it ever comes out here).

Actually, I reckon with all of the AoE Dinobots, where there's a Beast Wars equivalent moded figure, the BW figure trumps AoE (e.g. Ultra Megatron > Voyager Grimlock, Dinobot > Slash, Triceradon > Slug)

Just looking over the images again & one thing that has been bugging me lately. Why do they insist on placing the assortment number A1234 etc in the most ill-conceived places. Couldn't they have been a little more discreet?

I liked this guy in both modes better than I thought he would. Fairly easy transform and one of the less garish paint jobs of the AoE Dinobots.

Only thing is with the toy I bought his rubber tails were sorta hooked in a u shape due to the packaging. Though it prevents me flailing them out behind him in robot mode or giving him that streamlined look when flying, when he is in hunched-on-ground-moster-bird-thing mode it looks like he is whipping them around to stab someone which is awesome and probably how I'll display him

I paid $15 for this guy due to a scanning snafu at TRU, he's good but glad I didn't pay the full $30

Yep, mine is bent also. Doesn't anyone know of any tricks to straighten that tail? I thought about dipping it in boiling water.

when i opened him up, i was happy to get him but then as Goki mentioned all the points about his arms and legs and the two heads. I was not to keen on him, but in bot mode he makes up for it.
