[Genocide G2.0]

[Blurrz]

Can't wait!

[Agamemnon]

Those do look good. Keep 'em coming, Planet X!

[Midnight_Fox]

Of the original 5, I'm most looking forward to Snarl(he was the only one I owned as a kid).

Can't wait to have these guys on my shelf.

[Evil Eye]

Iiiiiit's happening!

If they're doing all of the Dinobots then I'm buying these. Now I just need to find Caleus for non-wallet-rape prices, and also FOC Grimlock with the Iron Factory upgrade kit.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

To have all five Dinobots for my Classics shelves...

Bring it, Planet X! And gimme a Paddles, too!

I have one for sale "Caleus" for $75 shipped if interested PM me.

Yes, an FoC Paddles (and/or any Paddles, really) would be awesome !

[shajaki]

it might be silly to get excited over silhouettes, but they look badass!

If they're anything like Caelus with regards to accuracy and details, which I fully expect them to be, then silhouettes are definitely sufficient to get me excited. Just knowing that PX is doing these guys is enough to prepare me to hand over my $.

Agreed 100%. Their Swoop was great in just about every single way. To have a complete Dinobots group for my Classics shelves is something I've wanted since... 2006.

Slug/Slag looks great, even if he is just a silhouette!

Compared to FP's Triceratops offering... I think Planet X might be ahead.

Yeah, its tail looks frickin' wicked. I can only imagine how good the rest of him will turn out (or I can just check out the game):


Yep, definitely badass.

That's the nicest looking Snarl I've ever seen. Can't wait to see him coloured.

Shame the tail looks to be a rigid piece though. A flexy tail would have been cool. Probably hard to engineer without expensive pistons and whatnot though.

[Agamemnon]

I'd be happy to have this guy in my FoC cast!

[Mkall]

This is the best Classics/FoC Snarl I've seen to date. I'm so happy Planet X is continuing with the dinos despite the competition.

[Sabrblade]

Thrilled that the FOC Dinobots are getting completed.

[Henry921]

That is one absolutely gorgeous Stegosaurus Hasbro could never possibly get to US safety standards.

I will have it.

With all of the 3rd party Dinobots being released, Think these are hands down the worse.

Even worse than MechaForm's?

really? i dont think any of the 3P dinobots are bad. some aesthetics are simply nothing im interested in, but they are all pretty awesome.

to the figure at hand, i think looks great. love the long spiky tail, and the back plates. bot mode isnt fantastic, but i thought that about their sludge till i saw him in color. also, love the shotgun

[rpetras]

He's neat!

I'm picking and choosing between these and FP for my classics shelf, so I'll wait to preorder till I compare both.

For once I completely 100% agree with the t-man. That stegosaurus looks horrible in both modes. In dino mode its rump is raised to extreme proportions like it just got breeded by a horny t-rex that broke his spine. And the robot mode has incredibly short legs giving it an almost animated aesthetic. If his legs were any shorter he would look like bulkhead.

Looking at the concept art it's pretty spot-on to the game model.





The "high-up hips" look is actually fairly accurate to how the Stegosaurus probably looked. The G1 version had it too, but because of the overall design and primitive toy/animation technology it manifested as a Stegosaurus with a bulbous arse and flat-bottomed, wedge-shaped body (not to mention feeble dorsal plates) rather than the "slope" the actual dinosaur had to its body.

The legs on the PX figure in Robot Mode aren't actually that short. The angle and perspective on that initial picture makes him look a lot more top-heavy than he actually is. Compare the totally front-facing picture to the 45-degree shot to see what I mean.
