At about voyager size and roundabout/maybe a little over price, honestly love this guy. Some of the robot modes are a little weak but all the Dino modes were pretty great and the full Volcanicus is absolutely awesome. Hoping to see some of the kinks ironed out in the next Combiner. Hoping for either Predaking or Devastator (og or Rotf would be awesome, I’m not picky)
I didn’t want to double comment, but I bet DinoKing is gonna be released as a full pack. Selling dinobots individualy makes sense since they’re pretty popular characters so some people who don’t want the full volcanicus, might still buy a few. But I don’t think anyone cares enough about the individual members of DinoKing for that.
I almost feel like it's best to get two Grimlocks for the legs, but this figure is soooo good too! Also god this entire set is so tempting. I can't justify buying bigger transformers these days, not enough money, not enough room. But this entire set looks so enjoyable to mess with!
Combiners that dont get enough love: Squawkbox Slamdance Armada and Energon Perceptor All the Energon Autobots RID Railracer RID Landfill (Build King) Landcross
@@EckerKyle it’s because in the Japanese continuity of g1 there was a combiner called dinoking tang had the same build as this with the triceratops on the top. Volcanivus is just a pretool of the innevitable gen selects psck
Snarl and Swoop are great, Skarr is pretty good too... I think they've almost tried to over engineer Volcanicus because there must be a better way to have combiner legs by keeping them simple.
I highly doubt the Dinoking set will see individual and in store releases. Almost certainly will be released as a set on pulse or Amazon or something. The ports on the bottom of snarl and grimlocks leg modes will potentially get feet then as well
Can't wait to complete Volcanicus. I'd love to see a core class Computron. Was looking through my stuff and found my original Monstructor, still have all the pieces.
Have you tested out the extended legs configuration you mentioned in the Grimlock review? It seems you can straighten out Snarl's legs in the combined form as well, so do they come out even?
Lol. I thought Volcanicus looked like a dogs’ breakfast, that was until you brought out that movie Devastator! Volcanicus looks like the Michaelangelo’s statue of David in comparison!
Volcanicus is like me when I play kerbile space program in the jet section it starts out rough but then in a few days I get a whole lot better at creating jets
This was a really good video. I think Hasbro did a really good job with Snarl. I'm definitely gonna pick that up when it is released in stores. With Volcanes i think it looks kinda cool. Great video man. Keep up the good work.
Hey prime versus prime, your videos are super entertaining for me and I watch you almost every day so will you please give this one a pin because I’ve been going through a lot of stuff lately and you know you’re basically the only UA-camr who actually cheers me up
If you remove the red part on the leg in combined mode and attach it elsewhere, would it look more cohesive because Grimlock's leg mode also has the "two limbs pegged together" look?
The thing is that Grimlock’s fists are also fully concealed by tabbing them together, so you only see the grey parts and his claws/toes. With Snarl, you’ll see his fists fully visible, and since they’re fully painted black they’ll still look out of place
On a post from Evan Brooks (Hasbro designe) of core class Volcanicus, someone asked him about consider Slash (Velociraptor) core class. Evan replied its posible to bring her to core class with a weapon transformation. That would be sweet Slash/Velociraptor/Sword and Scorn/Spinosaurus/Rifle
I've largely skipped this whole wave and I hated the look of the leader class figure,but I honestly might pick up this Snarl. He's probably the best of the whole wave.
ISTR something about a fanmode for Grimlock to make a leaner, longer leg - can Snarl match that? It would go a long way to make the whole look better. Just turning both legs backwards and settling for not using the knees seems like it would make a better looking static display, TBH...
@@skyblueblazes9332 Dang, that's too bad. At least there' still turning them backwards, and maybe a 3p company will come out with some add-on feet like PVP suggested. That would still help a lot, and they could even be set up to turn into, oh, an Erectopus (upright foot) or Podokesaurus (swift footed lizard) to suit the role. A separate robot mode would be hard at that size, though.
I bought the Grimlock just to have a riding buddy on my deliveries then I saw all the random creations you can make and have been trying to collect them all plus some dupes
Snarl is another Breakdown... in that if people had seen the combiner was going to have a big red foot they might have not gone in on it at all in the 1st place.
I picked up starscream a few weeks back and fell in love with core class!! Since then I got Optimus, ratchet, megatron and sound wave. I love swoop and snarl and would love to get them but I’m wondering if it’s worth holding off on that seeing as they may be retooling these guys to make dino king? I think I might wait but damn I just love the look of these guys all together
I feel like some of these guys definitely could have had elbow joints, maybe not full on ball joints like Swoop, but at least a hinge joint like Snarl. I would say Sludge and Skarr might be difficult just for Combiner integrity, but Grimlock and Slug could definitely fit imo. The limbs are also pretty detachable (I mean Grimlock's is just a ball joint and those double T pegs that slide right out so I feel if anyone made a modified joint his would absolutely be the easiest without requiring tools) but honestly for the amount of limitations they had for producing a figure that retails for $11.99, it's a pretty good first step to learn from. I feel that the engineering isn't impossible, just limited solely by price point because at the end of the day these are mass produced, core class sized figures, so compromises have to be made along the line (hence Sludge's nightmarishly empty cavities, which have already been added to an upgrade kit along with feet and real hands). But yeah to get this as a result without going super heavy into parts-forming is honestly a real achievement, even going as far to make their "weapons" parts of the figure's combined mode (Grimlock's becoming a heel, Scarr and Swoop's becoming the fists) like it's a very charming extra mile to go rather than just being like "Here's a fist that doesn't go anywhere; it's just for the combined mode so keep it in a bag or something I guess." Idk I kind of like it overall and hope design teams at Hasbro see this as an overall win, but with room to develop even further for better results with possible future Combiners.
It’s such a rare occurrence that I’m mad about a figure looking good that I didn’t know it could happen. But this has me infuriated! WHY DO SNARL AND SWOOP LOOK SO GOOD IN COMPARISON TO ALL OF THE OTHERS?!?!!!!!!??!???!??
They are kind of second gen Dinobots, if I remember the cartoon correctly. Snarl and Swoop were created after the first three, so they went with boring colours.
So will you do a review on the Legacy United Dinoking soon? Yeah, I feel like Dinoking would fit the current legacy Volcanicus mold, never liked Volcanicus in that configuration with Slug being the Center piece instead of Grimlock, who I much prefer as a Center piece more. Wish we could get another Legacy United Volcanicus (core or Deluxe class) but with Grimlock as the Center piece.
I was never a fan of the Dinobots becoming a combiner. They are already awesome in their Dinosaur forms. They were the Anti-Combiner unit. Dinobots turning into Combiner is like turning into something they were supposed to be against in the first place.
If you’re referring to the 3mm one located on their butt, that’s a typical flight stand port. The 5mm port(s) on their back are for interaction with the Weaponizer/COMBAT system
My issue with volcanicus is that a lot of these problems could have been avoided if these were monstructor or dinoking from the start. Unlike the dinobots, these guys were both tiny AND combiners, not to mention it would have fit in with iguanas and bomburst as core class pretenders, so I definitely could have easily forgiven a lot of the flaws, except for maybe sludge,bBecause with the character of monstructor in mind, the flaws are unavoidable. You didn't need to have the core class dino bots combine at all, because not only were the dinobots not designed to combine until MUCH later (and to be honest, it wasn't done well in the first place), having the dinobots at such a small and affordable scale is the selling point itself.
Probably this combiner look so sick when it's dinoking retool. But worst of it is if they put some replacements from dinobots into maximals and predacons in core class, including putting them in combiner inspired in concept arts ( in case if they find any inspirational concept art).
I'm so glad we can finally see Volcanicus in all his complete glory!
Now we just need a core class Devastator for him to go up against!
Or core class predaking
Rotf would be good
Predaking for the 🏆
get nbk devastator such a good figure
Yeah and a Core Class Legacy Earthspark Bruticus or RID 2001 Ruination
There are definitely gonna be fan modes and upgrade kits that make this worth the time I’ve spent looking for them
Honestly that sword on the shin breaks it up really nice in combined mode
this is definitely the best Dinobot core class ever cause Hasbro said that over the course they learned how to make the best core combiner
Learn and improve - basic rule for... actually anything
Very excited for any future core combiners after this
Lmao y'all have very low standards
At about voyager size and roundabout/maybe a little over price, honestly love this guy. Some of the robot modes are a little weak but all the Dino modes were pretty great and the full Volcanicus is absolutely awesome. Hoping to see some of the kinks ironed out in the next Combiner.

But I don’t think anyone cares enough about the individual members of DinoKing for that.
they should definitely do armada perceptor for the next core combiner
HOLY SHIT pls if only bc I want a core class moped and 5mm skateboard
I almost feel like it's best to get two Grimlocks for the legs, but this figure is soooo good too!
Also god this entire set is so tempting. I can't justify buying bigger transformers these days, not enough money, not enough room. But this entire set looks so enjoyable to mess with!
Amazing engineering to get such accuracy in both modes (robo/dino) at such a small scale.
Damm he got snarl already awesome finally we can see the full combine form
Just realized that both snarls and grimlocks heads are poking out in the Lego mode lol 8:09
Combiners that dont get enough love:
Squawkbox
Slamdance
Armada and Energon Perceptor
All the Energon Autobots
RID Railracer
RID Landfill (Build King)
Landcross
Definitely not to mention Raiden I'm still for my titan class of him. 😢💯
why is he the only one that’s mostly red
Cause that’s what his design has always been
That’s his design Noo use you should know if you watch primevsprimemand
He should have been the crotch piece and grimlock as the head but Hasbro said f u.
Who are you to judge his fashion choice? If he wants to be a red boi, let him be a red boi
@@EckerKyle it’s because in the Japanese continuity of g1 there was a combiner called dinoking tang had the same build as this with the triceratops on the top. Volcanivus is just a pretool of the innevitable gen selects psck
I love this figure and combiner
Awesome I hope they do this in scale. Amazing video!
With the recent Armada Legacy figures, it would be awesome to see some new Mini-Cons. Although some of them would probably be too large in Core class.
Two mini cons in each core sized package, like micro masters replacing legends
Hi prime vs prime! Awesome review! Have a great day!
I am legitimately vibrating in anticipation of Dinoking.
3rd party upgrade kit companies are going to have a field day with this volcanicus
Forget those high price hard to find and collect dinobot combiner figures when we can easily get a hold of these little guys
Finaly volcanicus is complete
Man I LOVE Core Classes, I love having mini Transformers but this engineering man! ❤️ This is a Great Figure! 🤯❤️
I'd love to see Predaking, Bruticus, Devastator, and Abominus
Also Menasor,Superion,Defensor,Victorion,Overlord,Magnaboss,Infernocus And Omega Supreme
idk but i also hope fore a core class raiden but i definitely hope for predaking to be the next core combiner
I really wish the legs werent so short. They are so blocky too it almost seems like they could be extended somehow
Good vid prime vs prime idk how you do them so good! 😂 well done
Amazing I’m going to pick up all of these Dinobots
Snarl and Swoop are great, Skarr is pretty good too... I think they've almost tried to over engineer Volcanicus because there must be a better way to have combiner legs by keeping them simple.
Fantastic review PrimeVsPrime!! I really hope we get both Dinoking and Monstructor retooled from Volcanicus. Keep on being amazing.
Maybe Volcanicus with each Dinobot as big as the SS86 Dinobots. Meaning Volcanicus is going to be huge.
Ya it would definitely make sense for them to do Monstructor if they do Dinoking since they are pretty much just palette swaps of each other.
I can’t find a snarl figure on Amazon. Damn
Fantastic stuff.
Volcanicus looks awesome, too. Can't wait to see the Dinoking retool.
I haven't seen this figure in any of the stores. When's it to be stocked???
Does the Power of the Primes Volcanicus feet go into this Volcanicus?
I highly doubt the Dinoking set will see individual and in store releases. Almost certainly will be released as a set on pulse or Amazon or something. The ports on the bottom of snarl and grimlocks leg modes will potentially get feet then as well
Or worse: a Takara-Tomy import.
The first few were a travesty. This and Swoop are the redeemers. Predaking next?
Can't wait to complete Volcanicus. I'd love to see a core class Computron. Was looking through my stuff and found my original Monstructor, still have all the pieces.
@allancasas9930 it took me a while to find all the pieces. The transformer who was the waist was the last one I found.
What’s up prime vs prime
Have you tested out the extended legs configuration you mentioned in the Grimlock review? It seems you can straighten out Snarl's legs in the combined form as well, so do they come out even?
LOL the tiny dagger pose!
0:30
"Ill be showing towards the later part of the video"
Him on screen: Just ignore me...
Best looking one yet!!
The red boot is kind of blah, but otherwise, I love the way Snarl looks and Volcanicus looks great.
I love your videos I wish I could be such a successful youtuber
Please, when is he released? I can’t find him anywhere online…
You did it primevsprime you have completed volcanicus and I support you🥳woooooooo🎉
This is amazing. Finally got Snarl, volcanicus is super fun. Loving the core class series, do we know when they are releasing more?!
He so sad when you put him on the ground 😊😅
Yes it has been completed
Lol. I thought Volcanicus looked like a dogs’ breakfast, that was until you brought out that movie Devastator! Volcanicus looks like the Michaelangelo’s statue of David in comparison!

This was a really good video. I think Hasbro did a really good job with Snarl. I'm definitely gonna pick that up when it is released in stores. With Volcanes i think it looks kinda cool. Great video man. Keep up the good work.
I'm surprised you didn't compare him with the 86 leader
Shweet! Now, onto core class Predaking!
Man Snarl looks bad in foot mode, it's like Volcanicus got a bandage on his foot. Lol
I think Swoop & Snarl should share 1st place cuz they both look cool & the best out of all of them!
It's cool, but I've just managed to get Sludge to complete my Power of the Primes Volcanicus so that's my dinobot set completed.
Since their is no weapon for volcanicus it would be cool if they made a core class slash as a weapon
Hey prime versus prime, your videos are super entertaining for me and I watch you almost every day so will you please give this one a pin because I’ve been going through a lot of stuff lately and you know you’re basically the only UA-camr who actually cheers me up
is it possible to use Snarl's back piece as a shield for the combiner?
No place to tab it in. Hands are 5mm and shield is a 3mm
If you remove the red part on the leg in combined mode and attach it elsewhere, would it look more cohesive because Grimlock's leg mode also has the "two limbs pegged together" look?
The thing is that Grimlock’s fists are also fully concealed by tabbing them together, so you only see the grey parts and his claws/toes. With Snarl, you’ll see his fists fully visible, and since they’re fully painted black they’ll still look out of place
When are you gonna do studio series 106
Need snarl only anyone know when is he actually releasing cant find him anywhere
What’s ur obsession with blasting Thundercracker?

i hope we get Core Class Predaking Soon
I want an UltraBee from RID, since we are getting a Strongarm soon, we may see the RID cast in core class, and then as UltraBee.
I've largely skipped this whole wave and I hated the look of the leader class figure,but I honestly might pick up this Snarl. He's probably the best of the whole wave.
I just got mine (awesome info as always) and I am enjoying it! a bit pricy, but worth it!!!

Snarl can’t replicate the Grimlock fan-leg mode, his legs aren’t proportionally similar to Grim’s, so it’d be lopsided

Can you review Trashmaster?
Been holding off of these guys and transformers in general but now I really wanna get all the core figures
When will he Release
Probably around September or october
@@mista2156thank you
bro turns into a playground slide
Swoop is easily the best of all of these, shes the only one I want. Snarl is neat too
Brilliant quality as always
I wish they made a core g1 devastator combiner i would buy that instantly
As a core class / legend class collector this put tears in my eyes because I always wanted a pocket size dinobots that doesn't look goofy.
I know. Guess we'll have to wait another few years.
I really hope we get a CC Devastator next.
I see that port under snarl that looks the exact same as on the underside of the grimlock. I bet we will get some feet attatchments.
Just got this Dino bot wish the hands were hinged and could fit inside leg . Love the volcanoes mode for a small core class combiner
Love this volcanicus and I’m excited to my hands on Snarl. I would love to see a core class Superion
I bought the Grimlock just to have a riding buddy on my deliveries then I saw all the random creations you can make and have been trying to collect them all plus some dupes
Snarl is another Breakdown... in that if people had seen the combiner was going to have a big red foot they might have not gone in on it at all in the 1st place.
At least you can remove the red thankfully
There’s just so much play factor with these guys; it’s insane! And only like $60 for the whole thing!

They are kind of second gen Dinobots, if I remember the cartoon correctly. Snarl and Swoop were created after the first three, so they went with boring colours.
If it fits, you can use the sword made by core class hot rod, skywarp, and iguanas.

@@lordblu4316 I know, I just remembered them being the unit Optimus would send to take down Devastator.
@@GeenoGabI mean, fight fire with fire right? And volcanicus isn’t straight doodoo..
it's a shame that volcanicus is core class and i hope if there are all 86 dinobots they should make a upgrade kit making volcanicus
I would like to see them take gridlock, and make him a swappable body for another core class
Say I’m curious there is a hexagonal hole in the back of recent transformers toys is there a specific stand for them or something
If you’re referring to the 3mm one located on their butt, that’s a typical flight stand port. The 5mm port(s) on their back are for interaction with the Weaponizer/COMBAT system
