Dinobots, hands down. Bigger. Shinier. More durable. Not neon. And they're dinosaurs.

yeah, but they don't combine, even though we all KNOW they should...

Devastator is pretty sweet. Very very much worth getting. And probably much cheaper too.

Man, thats a hard decision. I would go for Devastator forst, only if the Dinobots were not complete.

Devastator, there is six of them so your collection goes up by six instead of only five. Also as TT said, they are combiners!! Tho, the Dinobots are cool to. Would it be cheeky to ask how much the two sets are going for? You could get the Devastator and maybe buy one or two Dinobots if he was a good bit cheaper than the Dino-set. Just a thought.

This is important info to have! Swoop alone could run as much as Devastator! (Well, a high price on Swoop could be more that a decent deal on Devastator anyway...) So if they're the SAME PRICE def go for the Dino's! Otherwise, it depends on the deal your getting.

A set of Dinobots definetely should be much more expensive than Devastator. Usually I try to get the harder pieces first, so if you plan on eventually go for all of them, start with Swoop.
And after you get them all, you have to move on to the orange G2 Devastator...

Yeah that's an awesome compromise. Slag might be a bit cheaper than Sludge, Snarl might be more than Sludge, so that's a good compromise.
Devestator is a classic though....can't go wrong with him. Just make sure you get a good one...same for Grimlock as well!

That's devastator.
I'd get him before the dino's. Actually, I'd get all versions of him before the dino's.

Snarl, never be embarrassed to ask. We all know you are new to this world of Transformers and we will all help in any way we can.
