He looks like the Beserk Fury from Zoids. More lean and mean than bulky and well Grimlocky?
Still I do like the overall look of him
The bunnies, they give me knowledge it is neat.

Wow...for a deluxe, it's very detailed. If they make more of them [a complete classics dinobot set] I'd definitely get them. T-rex mode looks more like a streamlined velociraptor.

He looks very good, only I'm not quite certain I like the head being the feet. All things considered though, it's better than having a big head just lying on his back. I do like the gold highlights and the red works well. Poseable tail will be quite nice too.

The only asymmetry appears to be on the chest, so I don't see the problem there personally.
Looking for a complete Energon Sky Shadow (from Superion Maximus).
Offering: Binaltech Hound, Swindle, Ravage (Corvette), Skids.
Can buy in stores: Robot Heroes Tigatron/Inferno, Ricochet/Predaking.

This is one of those figures I'm going to have to be holding to judge, and most likley one I won't like until I've played with it a while. Robot mode looks semi-all right. Dino mode's about that same as that.

Yeh, that's really putting me off too. Which is a shame - knees-up, that's a superb figure.

He isn't exactly the same as the original, therefore it's awful and pointless and Hasbro hate me. DAMN THEM.

It's a bit odd that they had to do a brand new transformation scheme for this. I mean, even Energon Grimlock used the 'classic' transformation and it worked.

Energon Grimlock had a certain Playskool quality in t-rex mode.

True, but the Energon Grimlock did have more off the classic feel to him and I also liked Swoop he had a good transformation o him. I also hope they make all 5 to have a complete set.

Yes.
Still one of the best TF figures ever, IMO.
Liking it more. Pic's from a live auction, so I won't link...
