Other videos and pictures mention the prototypes being held together by blue-tak, the stuff I used to use to put posters up in my bedroom, oh so many, many years ago...

Genesis, aka FoC Omega Supreme. That's it so far.

Ah, thank you. Hmm, never got that one.

Take a look at my sig

*Gasp* they did Optimus Primal and Minor?! WOW! Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I never got Genesis. This one looks good to me, albeit the wings are a bit too wide. But again, looks like they can fold up.

They can fold away so you don't have to see them. That's the only way he fits on the shelf

Genesis is really great. The quality is spot on, definitely recommended if you like the look of him. Going by that, Swoop should be well made.

Well, that is some good news.

On one hand, this looks cool. On the other, it kinda sucks that third-party has to step up for the slaggin' Dinobots.

Yeah, clearly Hasbro has no interest in Dinosaurs any more

^^^^

But they are willing to do a voyager Rhino, and Wasp that have no repaint value. Makes no sense to me!!!!!!!!

Those are primary characters, so kinda different

dude, you're forgetting Buzzsaw and...um...evil Rhinox from that one episode who is slightly different in colour?

edit:damn, just realised Buzzsaw is yellow. He's going to get renamed "Beast Mode Bumblebee" or something, right?

He pretty much is already considering how many 'Buzzsaws' there've been in the various lines, all with that same bright yellow/purple color scheme. I have every one of em' too cuz' I'm all obsessive like that .

For me, they're the Dinobots. For older/Classics collectors, a no-brainer. For the kids, robot dinosaurs that transform into butt-kicking robots. The cool factor is off the CHARTS!

But nooooo. Leave it to possibly Planet X and possibly Toyworld to do the money makers.

In the absence of anything else, this is a must-buy. Also, it might encourage the creation of the other Dinobots, by whoever. It doesn't matter to me who does them, so long as they scale reasonably well and aren't miles away aesthetically. Dinobots FTW!

Great... now I have a reason to buy FoC Grimlock. This looks really promising... it's sad that this 3P is singlehandedly keeping the WFC/FOC universe alive for me with Omega and now this.

FYI: Planet X is also working on getting the rest of the FOC Dinobots. This info was from the Charticon 3rd Party panel.

Thanks DC

When it goes up, I'm getting one.

It's about time someone did.

However I won't believe them until hard plastic starts decorating shelves. We've been teased with empty promises before.

Awesome news!

....although I needs to see how Swoop turns out, even though he looks good, his design doesn't compliment Hasbro FOC Grimlock very well. Swoop is too blocky.

BUT, I do like the FOC Dinobot art designs, and judging by SDCC reveals they(HASBRO) are not doing any other Dinobots anytime soon.

That is unless they throw the Dinobots into the T4 Movie and their popularity takes off again?

The price has to be right too. Many companies are charging $100 for a voyager figure now. If its that much I will have to really think hard about it.

True... Or it could turn out to be like what happened to FansToys... All we can do right now is wait.

New post from Planet X.

Hi all!

Found and interesting picture.
See how Prowl enjoy his ride with Grimlock?
But.......Swoop is missing from the team isn't it?

That's a cool picture, but these guys will have to be BIG for me to get them.

We need prototypes, prototypes of Dinobots! And then preorders of Dinobots!

Being an owner of their last project, all I need are preorders. These WILL be mine .

I hope they haven't abandoned this project due to Dinos being announced for T4?

Usually after seeing the gray prototypes, preorders show up soon after. Its curious why we haven't seen any yet?

I mean, even if they only get 2 of the dinos out before the movie and that is all they do I would be happy.

Hello Everyone,

Some modification have been done to create this prototype. More joints and interlocking system are embedded.
Also, we have added a new joint to lock on Grimlock's for it to gain flight ability.

Feel free to give us some comments such as colouring. The green colour will not be the final colour. We are still choosing the appropiate one.

This kit is under development. It is just a test shot.

Listing should be available on various online shop soon.
