Good to see Dinobot; he looks pretty close to the figure I wanted so badly back in the day. Good to know that the sword may be used as a sword! That was the thing I liked the best about the original...er...the picture on the back of the BW packages, anyhow. I liked raptors and I liked swords, so he was real high on the want list back then.
It doesn't look that much like his sword though (granted, that may have something to do with For Safety Reasons - but casting it in bright red translucent plastic kills any homage even without the rounded tip)
This calls for some sort of mod of an existing toy weapon so it looks like Dinobot's sword AND fits inside his tail in beast mode in place of the missile.
I'm not sure what existing toy weapon would look more like Dinobot's sword. It's either a stack of cones or paper airplanes, whether you're aping the original toy or the cartoon, and most toy swords look like actual swords with real blades.
I was REALLY expecting Wasp to have his Cybertronian mode so they could do a really easy repaint to Cyertronian Bumblebee (they can never have too many Bumblebees). I probably would've preferred that, since I already have a version of the character that turns into an insect.
Eh, they gotta have something to do next year when their core cast already has all their normal toys out, including repaints. I figure all the Autobots will see a Cybertronian mode release, and then Wasp will be a remold of Bumblebee.
