00:47:23 Masterpiece Dinobot New Images From Figure Oh Magazine #238, Via Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook we have high resolution scans of pages that bring us some new images of Masterpiece Dinobot.
The first scan shows the full colored Masterpiece figure in two great group shots next to Masterpiece Optimus Primal and Cheetor, and Generations/Legends Rattrap and Rhinox in both robot and beast mode. We can get a great idea of the size of Dinobot who proves to be the tallest and biggest Beast Wars Masterpiece to date.
The second scan gives us nice shot of the color, details and poses of the Maximal warrior in both modes. Gimmicks like the rotating eyes in dino mode are also shown next to the display base and one of most expected accessories of Dinobot: The famous Golden Disc.

LG-51 Doublecross, LG-52 Misfire, and LG-53 Broadside come in the regular window box used for previous Legends figures showing the Headmaster unit in one corner.
