The fact that you made this video 20 minutes and 14 seconds long, and it’s featuring figures that came out in 2014. That’s pure perfection right there!
Advice: Be careful with your slug, regardless which mold of it you own for the 2014 line, or even from the last knight line, since my slug's left arm tab broke and part of it is now stuck within the slot- pain
4:39 this Grimlock mold is what set me back in the path of collecting Transformers again lmao. I remember exactly where I bought it. I bought mine at the ToyRUs near Disneyland in California in 2014 cause our relative's house is in the Disneyland area and we were staying there for a wedding. I was so bored and I ended up going out to explore the area and I ended up at the ToyRUs in their area where I bought ToyRUs exclusive Slug with the minicon and the two pack Grimlock with Energon Grimlock recolored into G1 Grimlock. The cashier took great interest with me cause she saw my Scotiabank card and asked me where I was from and we had a small chat lol. That shit is what set me in this very expensive path.
I got these guys for Christmas back in 2014! And I must say, I played with them heaps and 4/5 are still in great condition. I've only had a few tabs and ports break & crack on them over the years, (like the tabs on strafe's wings for the arms and the ports for grimlock's skirt pieces.) But the only major break I've had was on Slog, where his right arm broke off at the chest hinge. Luckily the remnants of the hinge is still there and js strong enough to hold the arm in place on its own, so he still looks good on both modes, just now he can play dotm prime cosplay. Other than those few little breakages, my set has withstood the test of time, and I hope yours does too. (Plus, you can turn grimlock's robot head around for Dino mode to make his head spike sit more flush, which it seems like barely anyone knows). Loved the video, well done as always!
Slog with those shoulder pieces and a remolded chest piece dino mode... It could almost become a Transformer version of the Pokemon Dialga, especially with different weapons and remolding
I still consider this the coolest set from AOE toy line. Remember going to a local toysRus just to look at that. Never got the chance to own it though.
I actually have the SDCC G1 box set of these guys, well Grimlock, Strafe/Swoop, Slug/Slag, and Snarl, and I have to admit that out of all the decos, it's probably still my favorite, just wish it came with Slog/Sludge to finish out the original 5 Dinobots. Also, I find it funny that I do the exact same thing with the wings and tail on my Strafe when in robot mode.
Is it Slug or is it Slag? It's Slag throughout the cartoon series, It's Slag in the 86 movie, It's Slag in the wiki and on Google. It's Slug on the SS86 box...
Yes because the term slag is a slur in the UK so the name was changed to slug. Every toy since at least 2014 has been labeled as slug due to this name change
The clear plastic does look like they are wearing those clear glass heels you see some people wear, so the legs don’t actually look like real legs, but instead look like big shoes and the actual painted parts of the upper legs make it look like those are their real tiny legs and feet.
Slog was easily my favorite of these figures. The non-clear one is solid and not terrible. The design is dope in both modes. I wish he had been in the movie, but then again, the dinobots were handled terribly anyways.
I'm not gonna believe that Starafe's tail just melted down... in Canada. I have the same toy and live where there's real heat all day and night and it's still in one piece. Just say you torched off.
"giant men" is by far the most unexpected way ive ever heard someone call these giys and i gotta say, you almost made me suffocate in laughter. kudos LOL also at 7:45 what happened to your hand?
These are very interesting. I'd get them all. They look so knights of the round awesome! I will never understand, the problem people have with clear plastic. I do ask, "what the hell do you do with it and how?" I say this, because i never ever EVER NEVER NEVER EVER EVER, problems as everyone complains. Yes, i a have a very big weakness for clear plastic on my transformers, meaning i am sold when i see clear plastic. Its fun!! Clear plastic, Which I NEVER EVER had any problem.
Clear plastic is just more fragile and prone to breaking than regular plastic. People only really have a problem when it's in joints like hinges and ball joints and stuff.
i stand my point, but i stand my point. :/. i understand what you said. i have stuff over 30 years with clear plastic, and i still constantly go on "playing" with those, and still no issues. i have a very clear plastic dinossaur, which was those kind of toys, which you rotated a cog, and then he would walk alone. there is KO honda car transformer (deformation as chinese say). a pretty cool looking black and red clear plastic car. i have been still transforming that thing for... 20 years maybe. just love thr damn thinhg just some examples.
I've had zero experience with any of these since I basically swore off Transformers after AOE and not because of the movies either. The designs however are very cool, and unique, where as the production and quality not so much. Looking forward to an improved Studio series set in film accurate colors minus hopefully the fragile clear plastic as it does not age well with either hinges, pins or even ball joints. RIP Animated Swindle.
Can’t wait for 86 Swoop and I really hope they eventually make the other AOE Dinobots, it’s baffling that Grimlock was the only SS one that was put out
I wish that with Slug/Snarl whatever transformed by turning the triceratops head into a shield. We've never had a triceratops transformer who did that.
The grimlock mold is super familiar to me, probably because I once owned a grimlock from age of extinction that looked much like that and had a similar transformation. Anybody know what model I'm thinking of?
While I like these movie dinobot toys; I would never touch the set not even if you paid me to take them. wtf were they thinkining with all the clear plastic?
i got the blue strafe thing. it broke. like most of my transformers. which sucks because alot of them were cool edit: I remeber from that video that it was not the strongest
The fact that you made this video 20 minutes and 14 seconds long, and it’s featuring figures that came out in 2014. That’s pure perfection right there!
Its 20:13 ni g r
I really wanna know if that was intentional or not now lmfao

BRO THAT ALSO HAPPENED TO MINE (the Tlk premier Edition one)
Oh?
@@r4jvisor_yt545can it be fixed?
was not expecting that editing for explaining the melting tail. Good video!
Ngl, grimlock built like an anime waifu. He’s got the curvy, slender legs, slim waist, and the overall proportions.
Nah bros down bad for grimlock 💀

Those Dinobots have TERRIBLE soft plastic, all 3 of my Deluxe Dinobots soft plastic rubber stuff is just no, it's so bad.
It's a shame that the figures are almost all clear plastic since it adds the risk of it breaking but the on the bright side it looks cool
The fact that I had to get two grimlocks because the head kept breaking is really saying something about that 2014 plastic lol
13:25 this is literally how I had mine constantly 😆
They're weird cybertronian dinosaurs, and I think that's cool
I remember that cold night and really hot day it was around spring of last year it shattered my windshield
Yeah that happened to me last year too
I like the little paper ball part you should try that more often
My original strafes tails ALSO kinda melted off as I’d play with it outside as a kid in the summer haha
Could be worse. It could be clear plastic titans
OOOO NOOOOOOO
i didn’t know those existed, but i’m terrified
Dont give them ideas please
Slog with those shoulder pieces and a remolded chest piece dino mode... It could almost become a Transformer version of the Pokemon Dialga, especially with different weapons and remolding
I always wanted these guys when I was younger
I actually had slog as a kid, fun toy but I actually had no idea my toy could of just combusted if it wanted to
I understand the clear plastic but, Sludge/ Slog is my second favourite (just behind Scorn)…
I hope whatever the studio series versions are, they have toy color variants. I LOVE the red colorscheme for Scorn.
As a kid I really liked AOE because of the dinobots
I still consider this the coolest set from AOE toy line. Remember going to a local toysRus just to look at that. Never got the chance to own it though.
"...And they decided to make them all out of clear plastic." (dramatic pause), Wallgreens commercial plays
WHAM BAM ITS THE DINO JAM
I actually have the SDCC G1 box set of these guys, well Grimlock, Strafe/Swoop, Slug/Slag, and Snarl, and I have to admit that out of all the decos, it's probably still my favorite, just wish it came with Slog/Sludge to finish out the original 5 Dinobots. Also, I find it funny that I do the exact same thing with the wings and tail on my Strafe when in robot mode.
That grimlock looks like a baki character
It's Smoky clear plastic and from my experience is Smokey clear plastic doesn't break easily
If these make you nervous, try a Dinozaur/Dinosoldier.
Is it Slug or is it Slag?
It's Slag throughout the cartoon series, It's Slag in the 86 movie, It's Slag in the wiki and on Google.
It's Slug on the SS86 box...
Yes because the term slag is a slur in the UK so the name was changed to slug. Every toy since at least 2014 has been labeled as slug due to this name change
I forgot what true fear felt like til the transformations started.
Clear plastic on Gundam: Kool
Clear plastic (and rubber) on Transformers: Booo
The clear plastic does look like they are wearing those clear glass heels you see some people wear, so the legs don’t actually look like real legs, but instead look like big shoes and the actual painted parts of the upper legs make it look like those are their real tiny legs and feet.
“ Slag is vicious, Grimlock is arrogant, and Sludge is stupid ”
- Megatron
I just sold off my AOE Dinobots.... never was a fan of them, I liked the toy colors, but in the end I am glad they may get redos in Studio Series.
I’ve had that Grimlock model twice, Age of Extinction and The Last Knight, and his right leg always broke off somehow
A bit unrelated but 86 Snarl can also store his sword on his belly. It's a lot cleaner looking and nicely hidden, since it's flat on his belly.
Slate was the only one not in the group that was mentioned, Mr. stegosaurus was not mentioned whatsoever
Got this for Christmas when I was 7…they lasted like 2 days before shit was missing or broken on them. Only one that lasted a while was grimlock
I've some of them (normal version) with the stegosaur, but missed out on the pterosaur, Grimlok and the brachiosaur
snarl is the best deluxe, weird they didn't put it in
i think they made a similir color version of snarl for universal studios
Slog was easily my favorite of these figures. The non-clear one is solid and not terrible. The design is dope in both modes. I wish he had been in the movie, but then again, the dinobots were handled terribly anyways.
There are pegs for the front Dino legs on Slug?
I remember having this as a kid
Well I had the normal versions to
I really hope we get an SS version of Sludge and Snarl. They are the coolest ones
They look like they'd be right at home in Brutal Legend😅
I have the retail version of slog with regular plastic and power rangers colors, the neck broke a few months ago after years in storage. PAIN
Aw pain
Fun fact, Strafe's Dino mode is essentially a 2 headed Dawrinopterus
I'm not gonna believe that Starafe's tail just melted down... in Canada. I have the same toy and live where there's real heat all day and night and it's still in one piece. Just say you torched off.
So, remold kingdom megs Into a non skeleton scorn?
"giant men" is by far the most unexpected way ive ever heard someone call these giys and i gotta say, you almost made me suffocate in laughter. kudos LOL
also at 7:45 what happened to your hand?
I saw the title and immediately my brain stopped and said "it was at that particular moment he realized he f***ed up". Clear plastic is so brittle
what sites would you recommend buying them from?
sludge is an apatosaurus (or a brontosaurus I don't wanna start an argument) and slog is a brachiosaurus
These are very interesting. I'd get them all. They look so knights of the round awesome!

I LOVE this grimlock mold, i have the nemesis grimlock repaint and he's so neat. Really really loose though
I absolutely love these figures, even Slog/Sludge. Just, why. Why are they clear plastic here.
Scorn's robot mode looks like a Bayverse Transmetal Megatron

Isn't there already a Studio Series Grimlock? Wasn't it released before the Blackout figure?
Grimlock has a SS leader toy but others haven't got a SS toy yet.

come back
No don't come back! Means more stuff for us! /jk
Can’t wait for 86 Swoop and I really hope they eventually make the other AOE Dinobots, it’s baffling that Grimlock was the only SS one that was put out
I wonder if they’ll accommodate Strafes scale with extra accessories as a smaller leader, like include the seed maybe? Or even a weapon for grimlock
So i found challenger optimus prime and peru kill lockdown both of them are 90 somthing does that sound legit i dont know if i should be skeptical
Are they trying to be DinoZaurs now?
I remember he had beast wars neo Randy. Do an unboxing video!
I sent it to a friend
@@ThatToyGuy dang it I wanted to see it crumble to a bunch of gold fruity pebbles
Who knows I may get another
7:35 its the psoas muscles!
The AOE Voyager Slog figure was my first ever Transformers Figure, too bad I no longer have him.
I have the same exact set, also many other platinum edition sets
For some reason I feel power rangers when I see them 😂 EDIT I realized you said power rangers so yea
The solid plastic versions are way more solid this wersions suck.
I believe they can combine you should do it and make a video
i had the regular grimlock deco when i was a kid and that shit broke pretty easy
huh. an hour ago? i was awake by then. probably had gotten up 30 minutes before, cos im australian. lol.
So they are doing the rest of the Dinobots in the Studio series
I got the g1 repaint of slog/brontosaurus
the Takara versions got a G1 colored release
I have it it’s actually fire
I wish that with Slug/Snarl whatever transformed by turning the triceratops head into a shield. We've never had a triceratops transformer who did that.
I don’t why Michael Bay constantly wants his bots to only have shades of gray and silver for their color schemes.
I think it alright.
slog has so much rubber on him that he could be classified as a condom
Why are slash, sludge and snarl almost never included in re releases?
I really hope that 2025's dinobot is a Leader-class Scorn. I can't wait until 2027 for my boy Scorn.
I actually got platinum edition FOC grimlock vs bruticus set. Can u pls do a review on it? Cuz i am suprised people still remember platinum edition.
The grimlock mold is super familiar to me, probably because I once owned a grimlock from age of extinction that looked much like that and had a similar transformation. Anybody know what model I'm thinking of?

For Optimal Yellowing Display in natural lighting
a lot …. a lot could go wrong 😂
Can you do infernacus next?
I'm trying to find one locally to do a video on that
@@ThatToyGuy ok :)
The core class looks like if the dinobots Combined in the movie lol
The robot modes all together remind me of the band GWAR
damn, thank god i held back on buying this set 😂
I can’t wait for the first new SS aoe dinobot in 2077.
Personally I love the blue and black power rangers colors on Strafe
Oh no
my slugs horns and tail spikes have started to crumble and break
Anyone know where to get a reasonably priced 86 grimlock?
who would survive the longest (durability wise)
I want some version of the deluxe scorn
I mean, they're 9 now...
i got the blue strafe thing. it broke. like most of my transformers. which sucks because alot of them were cool
edit: I remeber from that video that it was not the strongest
