At San Diego Comic-Con this year, Hasbro has two crazy-incredible Transformers sets that will be SDCC Exclusives. There will be a Dinobots set using the molds from the current movie but the colors from the G1 characters. There will also be one of the most unique and interesting sets ever called the Knights of Unicron that depicts Optimus Prime as the lead singer of an 80’s hair band that also includes Megatron, Soundwave and Jazz. The band is on the “Till All Are One” Tour. There is even a tour booklet and a the set comes in a Roadie case with stickers and tour posters. Below I have photos of all the toys in both vehicle/dinosaur mode and robot mode plus a couple extra goodies.

Although they are not in the whole movie and there are certain ways in which they could have been better the introduction of these massive warriors was welcome. It is certainly great to see more Dinobots toys on the shelves again.

The Dinobots in the movie have a more metallic shiny look to them and do not show as much color. The toys however have plenty of color like the Grimlock toys.
