(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to the Beast Machines Dinobot version of Triceradon. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of the Beast Machines Dinobot version of Triceradon here.)

    This version of Triceradon has essentially the same paint applications as the original Beast Machines Dinobot version, but with different colors- meaning no real surprises, here. Just a color scheme that hearkens a bit more back to the old G1 Dinobots. In other words, kind of a light gray with some silver and yellow or gold (in this case, yellow). At least, the beast mode does. The robot mode adds some blue, for some reason or another. Normally, this wouldn't be so bad if the blue didn't clash somewhat with the other colors. It's not horrible, but this, coupled with the peach-gray flesh not quite suiting that of a triceratops in my mind, puts it below the Beast Machines Dinobot Triceradon on my list- the original had a more fitting colors scheme. Not to mention that his robot face looks horrid, what with that cheese yellow for the face and bright goblin green used for his eyes. Oh, and that Autobot symbol looks stupid on the forehead, as always. And the Dinobot spark crystal on his gun has an Autobot symbol painted over it. Cheap....
    Triceradon has no mold changes from his predecessor, so he retains all the flaws and features in that department.
    This version of Triceradon has a bit worse of a color scheme than the original, but he IS noticeably cheaper, and he's still the same toy essentially. It's up to you if the price matters that much to you or not.
