I'm quite fond of Dinobot. The raptor mode is great. I keep seeing it sitting there on a pile of books and thinking: that looks great. I particularly love the tail has been given a natural looking bend to make it look like a real dinosaur. The robot mode is pretty well hidden. They could have got the arms a bit better hidden but it's a much better job than the original Dinobot with his robot legs in their place. The heels at the back at the foot are easily ignored.

The transformation has some nice extra touches using extra panels in the chest and thigh which are just there for appearances sake and I appreciate those. The two types of hands are another extra the toy doesn't need but allow you to pose the toy with a more classic look or a show like look. The Predacon/Maximal gimmick has a nice side-effect that you can hide the insignia altogether in in raptor mode.

The colours aren't perfect, but they evoke the cartoon character. Both of his weapons, missle sword and swirling open tail are there. Shame no green light up eyes for the other main weapon he used in the show. Good head too. I'm glad I waited 11 years to get a toy of Dinobot as this IMHO the best one we've seen.
