Who is your favourite Dinobot?

Does Dinobot count as a Dinobot?

[Raider]

As a kid I loved my G2 Slag, mostly because of its colour. That is why Slag gets my vote. Grimlock always looked faded (too well played with I guess) and I broke one side of Snarl's face off so they don't get my vote. Always wanted Swoop as a kid but never got my hands on him until recently. He would come in a close second.

Does Dinobot count as a Dinobot?

No, because...

And we're only looking at the original G1 Dinobots.

Was your heart beating in 1991? Although only Grimlock, Sludge and Snarl were reissued. The Slag mould was reused in 1993 for the G2 Dinobots. The Swoop mould has never been reissued or reused, which leads me to suspect that it must've been the first mould to be too far deteriorated for reuse (and then likely discarded). The fact that Swoop is also physically the weakest of the Dinobot toys also lends credence to this theory.

I remember very clearly getting the Classic Reissues of Jazz and Wheeljack on the same day at Kmart. But I never saw Dinobots anywhere in the Gong - trust me I would have begged my parents to buy me them!

but there are re-issues... just check ebay! lol

Haha, nah I don't do KO. I have Masterpiece Grimlock so I look forward to Takara one day releasing the rest of them with a new Grimlock in the current scale.

I had Grimlock, but my favourite was Sludge. I played with him until his joints were looser than an alley cat on heat.

In tears!!!!!

HAHA, ditto!


My favourite was Swoop, the first and only G1 dinobot I ever had. Apart from being the first, I really liked the pterodactyl, the idea that he could attack from the air!! I too played with him till a lot of his joints were pretty loose.
I eventually got Slag but in the G2 Green.

Grimlock for sure and considering all the variations of him I have lol

[GoktimusPrime]

AFAIK the reissues have never been counterfeited. So...
Reissue Grimlock
Reissue Sludge
Reissue Snarl

Swoop was my most loved G1 toy as a kid (which I still have).
I was "Team Blaster" during the leadership debacle of the 80's comics, so was not a huge fan of Grimlock (the character). A friend had the toy, which I thought was pretty spiffy, but I couldn't get past him wanting to kill Blaster.

Nowadays tho, I'd probably lean a little more towards Slag.

Snarl for me. I didn't have G1 Dinobots, but picked up the red released of Snarl.
Oh man, that colour combo, the red chest with the awesomely shiny golden stegosaurus tail splayed across his back,

Such a Majestic beast!

Never had any Dinobots, but Slag is my favourite Transformer overall (and perhaps Thundercracker). I love Triceratops, especially robot ones. His Foc redesign was nice too, my favourite of the lot.
