EDIT: I just looked up the original toy's tech spec bio. Huh, so the PotP packaging bio is consistent with the G1 toy's bio ("Hobbies include barbequeing Autobots and drinking lava...")... My bad! I should have done my research beforehand. So, this is suppose to represent G1 Cindersaur... huh...
Oh well that changes things a bit, maybe if the character can be male and has a similar bio then perhaps it can be thought of as an update rather than an homage.

And this homage is WAY closer to looking like Cindersaur than the BotCon figure.
Again, I reckon the nearest we have had to the original was the Prime version. The Bot Shots version wasn't bad but would have been better if the alt-mode didn't have a beak like Flamefeather's rather than a horn.
