Comparisons show the figures with their Studio Series ’86 G1 counterparts, along with Age of the Primes G2 Universe Grimlock.
Dinobot Snarl transforms into a Stegosaurus, with a metallic gold head that also has a red Aurobot logo on top, red and reddish-pink body, metallic gold spikes, legs and tail, along with some black deco. The sword is placed under his stomach for storage.
Dinobot Slug transforms into a Triceratops, with a mostly green body, metallic silver, metallic gold, with red horns and eyes. The blaster is stored underneath his tail and the front of it becomes part of the tail.
