The Dinoking Transformers Legacy Evolution Theory!

We go deep into some new statements from Hasbro Transformers Designer Evan Brooks and what he mentioned about the development of Transformers Legacy Evolution Core Class Slug and Sludge and how Dinoking is pretty much a given at this point for the future combiner Volcanicus repaint.

I can see Hasbro doing a Generations Selects Dinoking set. People really didn't like the combiner Dinobots, but as an exclusive type character, I can see them going that route.

[@YellinInMyEar]

Wow, we really digging into the fossils of Transformers history.

[@mr.end-game711]

Me I would like to see a new version of Monstructor, he played such a big role in the original IDW continuity.

[@antiseize11]

Me too!

[@nickd6303]

Dino king might have been rebranded into Volcanicus, so the repaint could be monstructor.

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

I hope not. An actual Dinoking would be much better.

[@Trebleshot]

I've been wanting them to do Dinoking and/or Monstructor since Combiner Wars. And honestly I think a core class set is perfect since the G1 versions were physically one of the smallest sets. Really hope this pans out Proto. I'll definitely buy it three times if they do those repaints, shells or not.

[@awesomeguy9513]

For repaints I don’t think we’ll see shattered glass due to the line ending with soundwave so far, monstructor might be better as a retool so you could differentiate the 2 groups. There’s G2 which I could see in generations selects as a 6 pack but Dinoking depending on the 6th member would be possible and great to see.

[@ToaofAnarchy19]

I think there's one more small piece of evidence here that was missed. Legacy has been redoing pretender characters lately, and they've been mixing the shells with the robot modes of those characters. Well, Dinoking had shells too but in alt mode instead of bot mode. The original Dinoking wasn't made of dinosaurs, it was made of monsters with dinosaur pretender shells. Keeping with the style Legacy has already shown for their pretenders, the Dinoking crew would have their monster modes replaced with dinosaurs similar to the dinobots. And that makes this repaint/retool make a whole lot more sense.

[@hexmachine8263]

I think they'll do a monstructor first after the dinobots then later a dinoking cause you don't really want to do a dino combiner right after you do the dinobots.

[@Kobenomics]

If there's dinoking, hopefully there's monstructor!

[@lizerdspherex]

fingers crossed we get 3 more recolors of this team.

[@xtroguyver]

I really do hope we get dinoking

[@beastmanreview009]

I used to own Grimstone but I gave it to my friend years back at FanX.

[@aldragonlegend6640]

I am pretty sure that we will get Dinoking in legacy selects line as a hasbro pulse exclusive

[@gamingguru2k6]

I didn't get Volcanicus before, I'll gladly take a legends scale version.

[@Kooster69]

I like the direction that Hasbro is going with the Combiners. Do Core Class Combiners for the retail marker, while still doing the MP-G line for Transformers collectors. We'll probably see Hasbro do this for a Core Class Devasator and Core Class Predaking. All of those Mini collectable items have sold well to where there's a Mini Unicron line now. Hasbro is even doing a smaller scale Mr. Potato line called Potato Head Tots. Going small, or real small--as Steve Martin would say--is a returning trend in the toy industry.

[@Zyugo]

I have high hopes Skar will be our ankylosaurus. Aside from this, I'm also hoping in the future, some Energon Powerlinx figures in core class, as pretools for Landcross. I've also talked about it on Twitter, just in case. (I'm going to RT the whole Legacy Landcross thread to Protoman, to give light to the idea.)

[@somkiat_alexavier]

Wow! If Dino King is going to be truly a thing I can’t wait for it! And thanks for the visuals, they definitely cleared up a lot of confusion as far as the different iterations of dinos through the past years.

[@ark5076]

Hopefully we'll get dinoking and monstructor

[@mfsusanoo7238]

*been* needing a new monstructor

[@daviddalrymple2284]

Yeah. Nothing precludes Hasbro from doing both. We got four different colours of Masterpiece Skids, after all.

[@baconatorrodriguez4651]

Don't forget Redeemer. Need a re-issue, for the love of god.

[@beastmanreview009]

I'd love a Paddles Legacy figure!

[@stephenmiller4091]

A Monstructor will be nice. Unless it's a store exclusive that ends up being another Ebay exclusive.

[@drinkerson3451]

Okay guys, how many Legacy Cosmos do I have to sacrifice to manifest Dinoking into existence? Jokes aside, I was kinda meh about core dinobots because we already have the 86 SS ones, but I'm 100% on board with this.

[@klsmns9152]

It’s gonna happen somehow. There’s no other reason that they would make Sla/ug the top half of the torso (or have six members) if they weren’t going to do this. Maybe it will be a Selects, a store exclusive or next year’s Pulsecon exclusive, but it will happen.

[@squallreviews788]

I hope so. I still rock the Fansproject release

[@antiseize11]

Right on the money, just revealed in it's full glory today

[@Chaospirex]

To be honest I was hoping scorn would be the new 6th dinobot but it seems like Skar is locked in

[@wsc0tt]

Maybe the biggest clue is if Grimlock is a leg. A LEG, of all things, for the leader...

[@Zyugo]

Scrapper is the leader of the Constructicons, and yet he's a leg as well.

[@ZedMazaus480]

Give me Fanboy some DynoKing Love! Lol I haven't been this hyped for this scale since they announced wheelie. ... Okay rumble too.

[@DoinItforNewCommTech]

I'm a scale nut, so I'm not super enthused for a core Volcanicus. Nor a core Monstructor, since he's a giant in the comics But core Dinoking? Sure, I can get behind that. I'd PREFER a larger Dinoking, but I don't have the same connection to the characters, so it's an easier sell for me

[@rellko3900]

I’m that one weird guy hoping for a Monstructor retool haha

[@roberth.9664]

I think I would probably prefer to get new combiners in that smaller 1 Deluxe 4 Core class type of toy idea. Really think the it combiners even make it into cartoons again, I would like them in that style.

[@Zyugo]

A mini Scramble City gig would also be great. If I would be working for them, I'd want to make the Energon Maximus trio which the only labor is making 9 unique molds and dupes of 6 to make a full combiner.

[@vxrdrummer]

0:40 Steven Segal is so cool he doesn't even need to look at the damn pictures.

[@eugenegodzilla946]

Dinoking

[@beastmanreview009]

6:03 my GPS PTSD kicked in

[@sapphireeniigma-8027]

Unexpected Victory W

[@dinodancera1a2a34]

I’d like to see a deluxe jetfire to scale with the core class

[@gairethnelson]

It's here

[@johngolles342]

Titan class Monstructor when?

[@thenuclearsandwich]

The only thing is that the inner robots alt modes didn't really look like dinosaurs. Yokuryu comes the closest and that's stretching it. So, this will be interesting/weird to see how it turns out if this happens.

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

Iguanus and Bomb Burst have the shells as their robot modes, so nothing should stop the Dinosaur Force from having their shells as their alt-modes.

[@thenuclearsandwich]

@@Joseph_Drew_III The issue is that Dinoking did not look like a bunch of dinosaurs combined together.

[@hexmachine8263]

MONSTRUCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Finnix_mocs]

and now, from some guy's computer (I think JT prime), a transformers legacy united pulse con exclusive, Dinoking!

[@capatialvinjohn2753]

LIOKAISER is a Six-Bot Combiner......

[@Zyugo]

Sure, it can be done someday. Just give them another basis to make that possible.

[@wolf1701A]

I'd be happy wu a monstructor.

[@1000bip]

But when are we going to get a Paddles? I really want one

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Your best bet would be 3rd party. Nothing official, unfortunately.

[@NearingLight]

I hate combining Dinobots part of the original teams charm was they would go up against combining like devistator predaking

[@sketchasaurrex4087]

WHOOH!

[@tristanwilliams4180]

But aint it Volcanicus?

[@johnosbourn4312]

Sludge is an Apatasaurus, not a Brontosaurus, Protoman.

[@gal-8270]

To small for me. Gunner get a third party Dinoking 😊

[@cristiandecaminus760]

Yo pense lo mismo

[@magnusprime27]

I want monstructor

[@pmuniverse.]

Funny how he ended up being right lol

[@TransformersSlagPodcast]

and I was the first image of it from the Hasbro VIP Breakfast at SDCC...... HMmmmmmmm

[@CDoinWork]

So Proto, should I display this Dinoking with my Victory Saber? 🧐🧐🧐
