    Default Two new Platinum packs coming?

    From Hong Kong I think, comes a listing of upcoming Movie Platinum multi-packs, with two previously unknown packs...

    Platinum Edition - 1st Ed Optimus w/ trailer & Stinger
    Platinum Edition - Generations DinoBots 5-pack Black & Grey
    The first one is a bit of an odd pairing, and I wonder if the trailer will be the one being released in Japan in the AL line... or a previous Movie trailer.
    The second set sounds like it might be more movie-accurate "metallic grey", but then, why have five, as there were only four in the Movie. If they are a Gen1 5-pack, why black & grey? They could still do a Gen1 coloured set that uses matte grey to avoid being similar to the SDCC pack of shiny silver figures.

    EDIT - okay, it is apparently the five "Gen1" Dinobots (2 Voyagers, 3 Deluxe), but still not sure about the colour scheme though.

    EDIT - not the five Gen1 Dinobots. Instead, Grimlock, Scorn, Slug, Strafe, Slog.

    Don't know about those Dinobots. On one hand it's all 5 in one convenient carry case, on the other, i'm not too sure about the black & grey colour scheme.

    I'm assuming these will be closer to 'movie accurate' colours. Could be good.

    Shouldn't there be 6 Dinobots? The bright green one will certainly look odd up against 5 'black/grey' Dinobots. So this is a pass.

    Just the original 5 for this set. Grimlock, Slug, Slog, Snarl & Strafe.

    Wasn't planning on buying any moofie toys but if these Dinobots turn out OK, I just might bite.

    The link in the first post has been updated with two silhouette images, suggesting that the Stinger could be the one-step version, while the Dinobots are not quite the Gen1 five - Grimlock, Slug (Slag), Strafe (Swoop), Slog (Sludge), and... Scorn (instead of Snarl).
    So close, and yet not quite... so probably aren't Gen1 themed at all then.

    That stinger resembles a certain deluxe rotf sideswipe figure, looking at images its completely different to the one step, this could however be a place holder figure
    and the trailer heavily resembles the mp-10 optimus trailer, I have my yoth prime here and the trailer is spot on with the silhouette image. the trailer could also be a placeholder or have minor changes

    Now i know for certain that they're doing it on purpose. First the Exclusives, then the SDCC Dinobots & now this. You have all 5 interpretations of the original versions right there, right there!
