Title:
Dinobot Transmetal 2
Description:
Dinobot (Deluxe Transmetal 2, 1999)
Takara ID number: D-48
Accessories: Tail-whip
Transmetal 2 Dinobot transforms into a skeletal/mechanical Velociraptor with asymmetrical, cyborg-like detailing. His spark crystal is located under a lid on his dino head/robot chest. The tail is made of soft plastic that moves from side to side when a lever at the base is turned. It can also be detached and used as a hand weapon.
His toy was released in two color schemes: The first one, available in the first few waves of product with Dinobot, features a bone-tan and purple coloration. Several waves in, however, he and Prowl were re-shipped as part of Hasbro’s early experiments in refreshing a line with same-character redeco variants, with Dinobot now colored bright white with blue. As a running change variation, he was sold under the same individual SKU rather than as a completely new release, and his packaging makes no mention of this new color scheme.
"Metals Dinobot” in Takara’s Beast Wars Metals line is identical to the first Hasbro deco. A "presale” version sold in conjunction with 1999 Summer Toei Anime Fair has one difference—the beast mode eyes are painted yellow.
This sculpt was also used to make the Beast Machines Dinobot Rapticon.
