Like to see 3rd parties create a complete set of 1985 G-1 Styled Dinobots robot heads and weapons for the AOE Dinobots Generations toys.

Nice idea! would look good on the SDCC versions I bet.

Hmm, I think the AOE Dinobots are a bit too movieesque to work with that. They have very organic, skeletal bodies that would clash with G1 style heads and weapons.

(They would look badass in "bone/fossil" colours though.)

I do think we should get some parts for the AOE Dinobots though, notably:

>New wrist/arm assemblies for all the "gorilla arms" sufferers (especially Snarl).
>New shoulders with more detent points, a longer tail/weapon for a more proportionate dinosaur mode, and better proportioned/positioned dino arms for Leader Grimlock.
>New thighs for Slash which still have the frills/spines/feathers, but on swivellin mounts so they can be better positioned in robot mode.
>Extra spines for Scorn so he can be more movie accurate.

Also, I'd love it if one of the 3rd party companies making Dinobots made a "G1" version of Scorn, with a similar transformation but with G1 stylings. Scorn is awesome, and he deserves to be "canonized" with the other Dinobots.

THIS. 10 millions times this. The entire toy was great until I transformed his arms and went "WUT?".

you know what would be a no brainer? a new cannon and key to vector sigma for generations tankor. why is it a no bainer? hes a troop builder! i know id buy at least three.

Not sure if this has been mentioned , but after watching a few G1 episodes lately i need some G1 heads for TFC Uranos. i really need a Slingshot with his signature orange skinhead

Unique toys Mania King has a robot height of 7.75 inches tall from head to toe. Would love it if a 3rd party company created One inch height boots for this toy. So it can be a similar 8.3 to 8.7 inch height to HasTak's CHUG Leader toys Jetfire, Megatron, Thundercracker and possible newer ones incoming.

Platform shoes for ManiaKing would look ridiculous. The only way to turn that around is to hark back to the 70's and put some goldfish in those platforms.


Seriously though, my Stealth Azalea could use a Nightbird head (though I think Renderform will be tackling that at some point).

Don't like the boots idea, then there are other ways to increase a HasTak or 3rd party TF toys robot height. Like 3rd parties creating replacements longer thighs, Replacement longer shins. Extra add on thighs like a 3rd party create for that ROTF Superion kit. Perhaps created a torso extension piece to make the robot gain some height. taller replacement head. Kings crown for the robot head.

Most of these ideas above will probably be harder for 3rd parties to implement, As the toy needs to be able to transform with the newer parts added. Might cost more cost more. or involve a higher level of skill in knowing how to take apart toys and reassemble them properly.

height boots are easier to install. Easier to remove during Transformation and might cost less.

I want a accurate head for Botcon G2 Spark/Pyro. A KP of the Hotspot head Hasbro made in the blue purple color would be sufficient.

I would also like to see someone like Crazy Devy do some chrome dino horns and a gold tail tip for FP Cubrar to make him more cartoon accurate. I cant stand the red horns and tail.

I would love to get a G1 cartoon accurate head for Generations Orion Pax. That IDW Prime with a mouth looks ridiculous.

But then they might as well just make a upscaled KO, right? Less hassle, easy fix. Win-win.

As for the topic, replacement hands for movie dinobots, and for some odd reason I've been imagining an upgrade kit that turns Scorn into the Queen Alien

Still waiting for that upgrade armor for IDW Orion Pax

Scorn as the Queen Alien would be truly, truly awesome.
