Breath taking and amazing. It's as close to 1985 Swoop as they can get.

Liking what I see so far, Think GC Sludge and GC Swoop are close G-1 Updates home runs.

Greebles...delicious greebles everywhere.

I love it. I also like that they're going for the "Clear smokey plastic over gold chrome" thing. That's just awesome.

I'd love to see these done in Diaclone colours, actually.

k. let me just throw this out there.

people dont need this. sure we dont need any transforming robot toys, but thats not my point. some collectors need an updated galvatron. some need an updated devastator. but almost nobody needs a dinobot combiner since it never existed in the first place. because of that the market for this thing might be narrowed. and someone else has already beaten them to the punch and has an amazing looking toy on the way.

theyre late to a party that has no venue. whats next? a newer throttlebot combiner?

Well, people have wanted a Dinobot combiner since the 80s, to be fair. So plenty of people definitely "need" it.

You're confusing 'need' with 'really want'. :michaelbay:

Ooh, they're doing the clear-plastic-over-greebly-chrome look. Awesome.

for torso mode, it looks like the chest expands. and the head is just grims head with bits attached to it ala energon prime. not bad. it appears like not much was sacrificed for the combining aspect.

this looks awesome.have the sludge on order and if the pics of swoop,snarl and grimms are anything to go by this will be game,set and match for me.not really bothered about wether its "classics" or "mp" scale...or even somewhere in between...just want it on my shelf NOW

It sure is, because that's MP Grimlock! :lol:

That is, unless you're referring to that month old post.

i was about to say "damn he sure is MP looking!". then they put him beside an actual MP grim :lol:

i gotta say.... im really liking his look. although it doesnt look like his knees can bend very far.

D@mn, that height is a little disappointing.

I was hoping these would match the height of MP Grimlock, that way they could stand as individuals with him, or be combined with the Grimlock from this set, which seems to be a bit bigger than the rest of the group, to form the gestalt.

Well, back in wait and see mode for large scale Dinobots.

Those new pictures are very impressive! And I think they win some people over with the translucent plastic on the figure - like the G1 figures.

And the size, my goodness.

Not so sure on the figures themselves (the ridiculously chunky legs and the...questionable gestalt foot storage are turnoffs) but those colours and the clear/chrome combo is to die for.

News Credits: 33 · Tue Dec 02, 2014 3:22 pm

Same pics as before but much better quality this time .

News Credits: 12 · Tue Dec 02, 2014 6:11 pm

I just realized, they seem to be using lots of different colours for the various gold bits. I love all the colours but I hope they decide on 1 shade of gold- it looks a tad disjointed at present. That copper in the head is probably my favourite- it's so different but it works so well.

looking now... yeah he has some hella thick legs. and after playing around with FP's columpio, i got spoiled with that segmented neck. so it sucks to see another 3P sludge without it.
