Undermine

I believe this sort of dinosaur is called a spinosaurus. We've got some posability on the legs and the tail, and the Beast planet force chip (#s48a on the Cybertron version) pops out a blade at the front of the spine. The neck, body & tail are cast in a dark green plastic while the spine, upper limbs and feet are a brighter green plastic. Some grey also features on thebody, tail tip and spine blade.

To TF pull the head apart at each side, and fold the halves of the neck down to the sides. Pull on the hips and they'll fold downwards under the body. Tail unclips, and then clips into the robot's hand as a morning star.

Articulation is mainly fore and aft joints, but he's still quite a nice little toy. You could easily imagine there being an army of these....

Undermine was released in Japan as Galaxy Force toy GD-08 Dino Shout with the bright green plastic a much brighter day glo shade and the darker green more an olive colour.

Repugnus

Someone at Hasbro loves G1 Repugnus. As well as this he's had a Universe version using the BW Fuzor Buzzclaw mould. Up till this points several important G1 characters hadn't had this much love !

He comes with a beast planet key numbered s48r. Colourwise his body swaps dark green for black, the lighter green for yellow and the grey for red. It's a decent looking repaint bringing the original Repugnus to mind with the chosen colours.
