The packaging explicitly states "velociraptor". The problem is that it's based on a Jurassic Park velociraptors, which were more closely modelled after Deinonychuses (a relative of Utahraptors). Mutant Beast Razor Claw and AoE Slash had alt modes more closely resembling actual velociraptors.Originally Posted by G1Optimal
Although granted that the Jurassic Park raptors are oversized, they're not nearly as large as utahraptors. But I will grant you that they are closer in size to utahraptors than deinonychuses or the diminutive velociraptor. So Jurassic Park gave us dinosaurs called velociraptors who resembled deinonychuses that were almost the size of utahraptors!And it's most likely that an MP Dinobot would be of similar scale since the original toy (and thus cartoon model) is based on the JP raptor, and also cos Dinobot has a massive robot mode (towers over Optimus Primal). So his beast mode would most likely be closer to utahraptor-size.
