At least you don't have to transform and deal with those ridiculous horns on Voyager Grimlock, and can keep them flat on his Carnotaurus mode. When you stick them up, he ends up looks like some kind of wierd, tiger-striped, two legged chihuahua. With all the Hasbro bashing that people do, kudos to them for at least giving us that option.

I'd display most of the Dinobots in bot mode anyway. So that's not too much of a big deal for me. I like the Construct-o-bots, but not sure if they'll do all the Dinobots that way. Plus as much as I like them, the rubber friction on the joints for assembly kind of make them come apart sometimes when posing or transforming. I do get a massive kick out of the riding aspect though. So I may have to at least get a dinobot for every dino rider I buy. I dig the adjustable ears though on Grimlock. I love that whole massice dino chihuahua look on him. xD Makes him seem ferocious yet friendly too. lol

As for Optimus. I am a bit surprised they didn't make the biceps red to match it to the G1 homage, but maybe that'll happen in a later on re-release with the face plate head. I'm undecided on it for right now, though it does look incredibly amazing in person.
