Not only is this a significant step forward in my journey towards become "Dr. Paul Marks," it also meant that I could open one of my Dinobot packages which I have saved as rewards for this process. I chose the triceratop, Slug (whose name used to be Slag, before Hasbro realized it was a term of insult in the UK). Slug had been called Slag because he could reduce metal to slag with his fire breath (as triceratops were known to do). Slug as a name is also appropriate has he is known to be the most belligerent of the Dinobots, intentionally picking fights even with his leader, Grimlock.
The Dinobots of the Power of the Primes collection were designed to look like what 80s kids would remember the Dinobots to look like rather than how they actually looked. I am currently in possession of the original Dinobots, so I have them as a direct comparison. These new versions are not only significantly more posable, but they can also combine together to form the massive robot Volcanicus (Slug forms the left arm).
With Slug opened, he can now keep Slash company (who I opened in October of 2019) as they provide encouragement for me to continue with my doctoral work.
