I'm having plenty of fun on the Planet-X train, but these could be neat to have too. Still another case of "goddammit third parties" in my book. Sick of them tripping over each other!

Since FP favors the slightly smaller toy scale and has low prices. Love that FP is making G-1 Dinobots update toys. Hoping they are all voyager scale and cost under $80 each, So I can buy all Five. With my wife, kids, Mortage, Car payments and bills. I couldn't justify making room in my toy budget to spend $1,000 to get the more exspensive 3rd party MP Dinobots.

Wow! Awesome I think.....

Surprised they didn't wait for TFCon to announce this, great to see two prototypes straight up though.

why does the lettering numbering start at Ler-02 & not Ler-01. Guessing Ler-1 is Shockwave. Since they all have a epic battle fighting history together in the Marvel G-1 comics and FOC video game.

They look good, but I'm already invested in Planet X's versions.

Waaaaaaaat!? This is exactly what I want from Dinobots! Well, okay, what I'd want is chrome and G1 style transparant plastic, but this'll do. I wanna know about scale right now.

I've got Planet X's Swoop and like him, but these are the designs I wanted from the beginning. I just wonder at how large they'll be.

This could be Classic(s)! I want to see more. =P~

Wed Jul 09, 2014 3:18 pm

Glad I held out on Planet X. Can't wait to see more!

So this was totally unexpected news right :shock:

What size voyager do you think these will be Motormaster ? Steelcore? Broadside ? Personally i would like Broadside but i can see these being smaller .

Same.

Tempting though.

They will probably be 3.5 inches tall. Isn't that what their Insecticons and Stunticons are?

Wed Jul 09, 2014 10:27 pm

What I like is that they are all the same height. If these guys are at least Steelcore's height we have a winner ! Maybe they might surprise us and make them Assaulter's height. Screw the Planet X versions. I'm glad I never bought that swoop.

On a separate note, this teaser might bring out the competitive spirit in Toyworld, who did once tease Dinobots. And if Toyworld does them, you know theyre gonna be big !

Yeah, I think Toyworld would make the best g1 inspired versions all around....

Since TFcon is this Weekend. These might be on display at the convention.

After looking at the pics again and knowing FP's past for favoring smalls. Think these have a high rate of all being Deluxe scale. Even possible being Three deluxes and Two Voyagers.

FP have been jumping around the scales, actually. The Core series is a nice voyager size, the causality series being tiny deluxes and the headmasters somewhere in between. Frankly if these were either the same scale as the Core/Headmaster series i'd buy them all.

Check this out :APPLAUSE:

Height around 7.4 inches .

Thu Jul 10, 2014 8:35 am

Wait...would that dwarf FOC Grimlock? I like this Sludge, but not if he is out of scale with FOC Grimmy.

News Credits: 3 · Thu Jul 10, 2014 8:36 am

They may have got me with those Weapon Masters.

Guess I'm buying both these and Planet X's and deciding which after having them all in hand...

FoC Grimmy is ~7.5 inches to his head, 8 to the "hood". 190mm is 7.48 inches.

I've just check, 190mm is around the same height as Steelcore, which is also around the same height as FOC Grimmy. In other words, freaking perfect!

That's a pretty nice teaser, but I'm interested to see what Planet X counters with.

From the swoop images, and having him in hand, I currently prefer the Planet X stuff.
