TRANSFORMERS G1 DINOBOTS COLLECTION VIDEO REVIEW WITH GRIMLOCK, SWOOP, SLUDGE, SLUG, AND SNARL

[@merqury5]

My kid was just playing with my original Snarl on the kitchen table. Thats a testament to the quality of these toys. Ive had Snarl since new in the late 80's

[@Cosmicnexus86]

Brother, you are not lying. I still have my original sound wave. That my brother had gave me the he had got when he was a kid. And that thing has stood the test of time. All it needs is a fresh coat of paint, but it's still in good condition. All the parts still move and transform. I mean, I think back, man, that's what they were really heavily. Putting research in development and to make a needs. Toys durable and last real collectors items today.

[@douglaspiresdasilva76]

My favorite Dinobots of this collection are Snarl, Slag and Grimlock. Snarl transforms into a Stegosaurus Slag transforms into a Triceratops Grimlock, the leader of the group, transforms into a Tyrannosaurus Rex

[@sportswolf3]

Excellent review. These are a must have for any tf collection.

[@grogers2990]

sportswolf3 aren't you him? You sound like him

[@spikezillaproductions9482]

this was the video that go me back into Transformers when I was 11 years old. I'm now 21 and still rewatch this video to relive that moment of stumbling upon this video and watching it repeatedly. I even started to collect older Transformers figures such as a G2 Grimlock who remains one of my favorite figures to this day despite him being broken

[@gutz1981]

It annoys me that Slag can no longer be called Slag. Its ridiculous, because his name is ACTUALLY related to his character and not a random chosen name. For those unaware, Slag is the metal build up you get from welding two pieces of metal together that you have to knock away. Its molten metal waste.

[@TheGenuineDWNUT]

gutz1981 Slug works well. That means the same thing as Slag

[@sstrykert]

gutz1981 yup. Molten metal waste. Sjw's ruining our day to day terms!

[@brobot500]

I think Slug accompanies his personality well, seeing as how he’s usually portrayed as a dim witted brute.

[@hateiswhatiam2886]

slag is a other word for tramp

[@barelylightskin]

I live in the uk mate and trust me slag is a very nasty word to say, It means whore or slut and so on.

[@sgreen4]

I remember in school a kid brought a Grimlock to school once but wouldn't show it anyone. He kept it in a brown paper bag. I caught a glimpse of it and it looked so awesome to me. That shiny robot had me so jealous. When I finally had dinobots of my own, I realized they all transform all the same (except swoop) and Grimlock was always my favorite.

[@TheTruthHz]

Slag still means what it always meant. 'A vitreous by product of smelting ore'. The fact that is has a colloquial meaning of 'a woman of promiscuity' here in England is overplayed WAAAAAY too much

[@AniW2x4]

Talos242 exactly

[@BlackArroToons]

Great Dinobot video, thanks! Snarl was the one I had of the Dinobots as a kid. The skull kept splitting apart after too many transformations.

[@spike1422]

Fondly remembering the days when the Dinobots were actually DINOSAURS.

[@UptownNYC]

Did they ever combine into a bigger robot like the Constructicons into Devastator?? I could swear as a kid growing up and watching the cartoon they could combine... 🤔

[@spike1422]

@@UptownNYC nah. The dinobots never combined in G1. In later series they added a new female dinobot and THAT group could combine into Volcanicus, but that was in siege or combiner wars or something like that.

[@CryosisOfficial]

@@spike1422 Power of the Primes Dinobots could combine into Volcanicus, Slash (who is based on an Age of Extinction character) was not part of the combiner. The Dinobots also combined into The Beast in the comics.

I use to love dinosaur Triceratops, so had to have Slag for Christmas..86/7, I was 11-12!

[@willieleefrancis8091]

Great review, Mitch! I ordered all five Dinobots yesterday! To be honest, these are one of the best Autobot subgroups, in my opinion. I never had the Dinobots as a kid, so I decided to buy them. I'll probably get another Dinobot set sometime during the year.

[@redrabbitz79]

I had the original Grimlock as a kid but I always wished the Dinobots could combine to make a larger robot and take on the Predacons /Predaking!

[@sansluck7801]

jamie haddon It would be cool

[@smokeytripod]

There is a comic book where the Dinobots did actually combine into something called The Beast btw, also you can buy a 3rd party set of Dinobot combiners from Gceation or Toyworld they make The Beast if you have the money that is lol

[@sansluck7801]

I new about the beast after the video ok and I don't have all the money

[@ronangallagher5271]

jamie haddon I thought they combined into dinoking

[@Zyugo]

Freddy Krueger or rather Volcanicus from the upcoming Power of the Primes.

[@RialVestro]

The engineering on the transformations is kind of impressive for the 80's. I was kind of expecting to see more kibble hanging off their backs than there ended up being.

[@LitteralyaTree]

When you called them a cheerleading squad I had a horrible image of the dinobots cheerleading 😂😂

[@nicolekb231]

Yes the throwback is here finally making a comeback and a mighty fine one at that

[@FeistyWaffle]

They are one of the good looking groups of G1 figures.

[@bobbygeary7609]

yes they are

[@kayjay9894]

1:37 when you did not watch the first dinobot episode

[@centuritron]

my favorite since g1 has been swoop I have always love pteranadons

[@SuperAp0calypse]

The whole Slag/Slug rubbish is really petty and kinda childish in my opinion. He was originally called Slag, and he will always be Slag to me, and I will call him such. Slag mainly means a form of molten metal, which fits the Dinobot perfectly being he has a flame thrower in his mouth.

[@kira-dk2mx]

Preach it sir. If the brits have a problem with it, feel free to censor it in their own country. Here we call him Slag.

[@TheYoungDoctor]

kira64 I'm English and he'll always be Slag to me.

[@kira-dk2mx]

Lee Gannon Cyber high five!

[@MrMeeples]

It's Hasbro's headless chicken reaction that gets the names changed. The only time in the last 15 years I've heard anyone say 'slag' was ironically... because no one says it any more in the UK.

[@gatchagamer4486]

Hi five best person ever

[@szymonskalka5296]

Those are some pretty good KOs. It's great to see the Dinobots again.

[@devintws]

Dinobots were a favorite. Awesome review!

[@jonathanorozco8075]

I love Grimlock My Dinobot favorite

[@itzzzsss]

I had Dinobot Swoop as a kid. The only large robot toy that my dad ever bought me. So awesome

[@jozz2]

I had an grimlock replica like this. It was a Great Toy! It had black sword and also a spring projectile gun

[@TheMagicRobot]

I still have my blue Grimlock, so many good memories.

[@michaelalleman4186]

i like how they made them look experimental with translucent parts and crime metal parts. the is a great nod t their origins. for those who don't know, wheeljack made the dinobots to fight the deceptions.

This video just convinced me to buy assume KO's! I collect the original G1 toys (I have close to 100 of them) and a couple of 80's KO's (including Megatron) but mostly, I just stayed away from them because the quality was crap. Thanks for posting this video. I enjoyed watching it.

[@MrPlaidFace]

[@PicklerEntertainment]

I really love all these guys, I had a few as a kid but unfortunately I was never able to get the full team... So very awesome.

[@Christolclear101]

That's an awesome collection, especially with the original boxes. I'd love to see all of the FOC Dinobots in figure form

[@PhantomJedix2000]

You and me both. I understand that Planet X is making a Swoop from FoC.

[@Christolclear101]

That's awesome! Any idea on class size and retail?

[@RailfanJason]

I still have my originals. They are displayed on my entertainment center. The Dinobots are what got me in to the Transformers when I was a kid. Knockoffs or not, those guys look so good new. Always wished they were about 50% larger, and had a combiner mode. That would have been sweet.

[@hullscharles7580]

Great review Mitch. Slag changed his name to Slug in the IDW comic series. I find the G1 Dinobots have stood the test of time. They look great!

[@shaggybuddzz]

These look like great retro pieces.......when I was a kid I had slag and it was awesome, so it is good to see all together.

[@PlanetZoidstar]

I remember owning Grimlock, Sludge and Snarl back in the day as a kid. Never had the chance to own Slag/Slug or Swoop, but sure if they were ever released in the UK where I live.

[@RennovaMOCs]

You're right about Snarl, Mitch. He is a stegosaurus.

[@MightMouse74]

Now this is freakn awesome dude! one hell of fine review!! love these guys!

[@TBevill1231]

My brother and I just got this set. So hyped for them to come in

[@PatricksCrazyPlace]

The Dinobots might be my favorite G1 toys. They look great in both modes (well, Slag suffers from kibble and overly huge feet in robot mode, but I'll let that slide), have great weapons, and look great as a team too. The uniformity is awesome. Also, they are robot dinosaurs. Come on! Another major plus is that they are some (Swoop's coloring being an exception) of the most show accurate toys from G1, which is rarer than you'd expect (look at Megatron with the trigger crotch, the grey Galvatron, the 84 mini-bots, and the infamous headless Ironhide and Ratchet). My Grimlock looked almost exactly like the cartoon, which only added to the appeal.

[@thecmoose4754]

Holy cow The band is back together! and just in time for Bayformers!

[@whatupitzwinston]

Best transforming montage ever !!!

[@TheTerribleSwede]

Nice set and nice video. Thanks. Though I would not have ever compared them to a cheer leading squad.

[@kingfield99]

I seem to recall that for some weird reason Swoop was almost impossible to get here in the UK in the 80s.

[@daveanglin591]

Gotta love the Dinobots, wish they made them in 30th style!

[@DMSL2007]

I have my MP Grimlock in my Classics/Generations/United display, it scales well.

[@gutz1981]

Its a shame, because back about 5 years ago, I started to buy these one by one and started with Grimlock. That was fine and still got him. Then I ordered Swoop because I always wanted and never had him. As soon as I got him out of the box, his beak broke off. So I sent him back and the dude was happy to replace him, but by the time the broken one was returned, he was out of stock and asked if I wanted something else but he had no other Dinobots. I was pissed and never followed up and lost $75 from the whole thing and never bothered to further the collection. Now that I see Grimlock by himself, I regret now not looking for the rest. Damn luck.

[@nightlock826]

I would really like a re rerelease of G1 transformers

[@mat.b.]

His name is Slag

[@DMSL2007]

Great review man. I managed to get both Grimlock and Sludge from eBay years ago, good condition, nearly complete for 40 bucks. Really lucky with that one. FYI Sludge is an Apatosaurus, the name Brontosaurus doesn't exist anymore. Swoop is not a Dinosaur, it is a flying reptile called Pteranodon.

[@larrychilders6599]

Actually Brontosaurus exists once more to describe a very similar looking dinosaur

This is hands down my new favorite video on KZbin! I had three of the five as a child and I would love to own a collection like this! If anyone have all five generation one Dinobots private message me asap

[@richardgreenleaf3259]

Swoop was actually my favorite. He's the only Dinobot I had as just a Dinobot and not a part of another line. I did get Grimlock as a Classic Pretender. By that time that was the only way I could get Grimlock. Had they had him in my area I'd have probably gotten Snarl as an Action Master as that would have been the only way I could have gotten him. Seem to remember I could have gotten both Slag and Sludge when I picked up Swoop, but I only had the money for the one for the longest time and Swoop was the only real choice for me. To me he just seemed like the smartest of the Dinobots on the show, and after Grimlock the one who got the most attention (thanks to the Desertion of the Dinobots storyline)

[@stonewars3224]

was awsome man, seeing all 5 dinobots is always a treat, in my childhood I was only able to obtain grimlock, being the youngest of 4 was very hard to buy TF's, since they where quite expensive for their time, I believe they where 15dlls each, it was a lot back them XD But I was happy having atleast my favorite ^^ hope they dont ruin him in the new movie...
