Takara Tomy's Dramatic Capture Series DinoBot Island part 1 is the 8th set in the line, a two-figure package with Grimlock and Ratchet. Both figures transform fully, Grimlock from robot mode to a mechanical Tyrannosaurus and Ratchet from robot mode to an ambulance. The set includes weapons, a sword for Grimlock, and flame effect parts. Preorders open September 9, 2026, at 17,050 yen including tax, with release planned for late February 2027.
Grimlock stands about 250mm tall in the set and Ratchet about 145mm. Both figures are fully posable in robot mode, and Grimlock carries a metallic paint treatment meant to give it a heavier, denser look. The package includes a gun and sword for Grimlock, two guns for Ratchet, and nine effect parts, with the large pieces meant to recreate Grimlock's flame attack scene. The sword fits in Grimlock's robot-mode hands. Ratchet's ambulance mode gets strengthened coloring for closer accuracy to the vehicle. The set is aimed at ages 15 and up, priced at 17,050 yen including tax. Preorders open September 9, 2026, with shipment planned for late February 2027. Images shown are prototypes.
