WST is Worlds Smallest Transformer, basically re-issues of G1 figures but much smaller. I don't believe The Dinobots were ever officially released in this toy line* however the KOs are quite common. Personally I like them and have just brought Grimlock and Slag to go with the Snarl that I already have. They are about 1/3 the size of the G1 originals and transform in an almost identical way.

Hope this helps.

*Someone will know for sure.

I have "invested" in 3 thus far; Slag, Sludge and Grimlock. Sludge is especially impressive.

They're not really KO's, tho. Justitoys makes them. And I concur, get them! But don't pay too much, you can get Grim and Slag of evilBay for $10 shipped (maybe not to Oz,though). Sludge and Swoop just came out, so they might be pricey.

Yeah I was unsure if they are official products as they aren't produced by Hasbro/Takara.

I too have WST grimlock and slag, great pieces and due to their size, a lot easier to store away !

Something I was wondering Sent, do the launcher fit in Slag and Snarls shoulders like their G1 cousins?

For KO's, they are surprisingly very similar to real deal! Yes they do!

I didn't think Snarl was released yet?

I'm considering paying out for Swoop; I never even saw one as a kiddie, living in the UK where Swoop was just a mythical figure!

Ha! I didn't know they made that many! I thought it was just Grimmy with the hat, and I thought the hat was plastic. Thanks, Sent-great stuff!

I just bought four of the five, Grimlock, Slag, Sludge and Swoop, I would have had Snarl too but the guy BROKE it :x ( CRAZY FOOL ) and he apologised and said I could still have it but he is minus a robot leg, so I said it would spoil the set having a legless Snarl ( No comments about the roleplay or I will slap the offender with a wet kipper ) so I will have to go to E - Bay :cry:

Snarl's legs were notoriously easy to break even on the full size versions. I dread to think how easily they break on the mini Dinobots.

Ah, the legless Dinobot......I will say no more. :wink:

Snarl...If you referring to the leg problems of the WST Dinobots, I have discovered they FALL off. They are attached by a peg, and can easily fall off constantly. It's what we get for KO's!

In the cartoon Wheeljack and Ratchet built them, Wheeljack is the Autobots mechanical engineer.
