- Color Scheme:
- Kind of a dark icy blue, and a light icy olive color. He also has some cool metallic parts and some silver accents. I like this scheme much better than the original off-white and dark red scheme of TM2 Dinobot (which this is a recolor of). Overall, the color scheme is strong and well balanced, though the violet Dinobot spark crystal in his chest doesn't fit very well. That's ok, though, since it's hidden by his chest panel.
- Robot Mode:
- Eh. It's cool looking, I guess, if only because of the huge blades for fingers. His tail and shoulder pads are a tad large for his proportions, though. At least his tail can come off and be used as a weapon... though doing so isn't highly recommended because he'll be harder to pose with a huge tail sticking out of one hand.
- Beast Mode:
- Still looks really cool as a mutant/TM2 velociraptor. For most purposes, this is the preferred mode. He just looks cool. If it weren't for how his front arms are a PIA to get into the right position to not look completely stupid, this toy would be excellent.
- Transformation:
- Can be tricky in places, especially the bit where you get his head/torso rotated around into the right position. The rest is your typical swapping of limbs stuff.
- Gimmicks:
- The tail has rubbery bits and a dial that makes it slash back and forth as you turn the dial back and forth. He also has a spark crystal hidden behind a panel on his chest (head in beast mode)
- Pros/Cons:
- Nice color scheme, great beast mode, but robot mode leaves something to be desired... like smaller slagging shoulder pads!
