I thought it was part of a grip to hold the coins in place.

As everyone else has said, this is just red Grimlock. I understand the alien vibe they were going for, but directly copying the aesthetic of Transformers was not the way to achieve that. I hope some paint apps are added to this guy before a final release. Definitely more pleased overall with the morpher, which at least retains its original shape.

I don't even get the point of the alien aesthetic. It's a dinosaur, not a Dalek.

It's an alien interpretation of a dinosaur, not an actual dinosaur.

I guess, like Transformers, the aliens/machines came from outer space and adapted their form to what they saw on Earth (while still maintaining some of their original aesthetic). Presumably Zordon used them to defend the Earth in prehistoric times and they've been laying dormant since?

I'd also argue that Daleks look less alien than these zords (outwardly anyway), lol.

So aliens are idiots who don't know what dinosaurs look like?

Are you forgetting that humans are idiots who didn't know what dinosaurs looked like for hundreds of years? And for that matter, still don't?

News flash, T-Rex has feathers and wasn't exactly the completely terrifying lizard beast you remember.

Humans aren't idiots, though. We weren't there, so we can only come up with approximations based on rocks and bones from the era. Based on Zordon and Rita's history, they were, and yet this is what they came up with.
