Hasbro was gonna retire the Dinobots BEFORE they made it into FoC. Now though... no one but Hasbro knows for sure.dinojack86 wrote:I had hoped to see the Dinobots but from what some are saying Hasbro doesn't "do" Dinobots anymore which in my opinion is preposterous. What kid doesn't dig dinosaurs that transform into robots and back? I may be a little biased but the Dinobots are one of the reasons I loved Transformers as a kid. I don't know, it just surprises especially how prominently he's been featured for FOC. Makes me wonderjust how big his role really is after all.

Those data disk guys are about the size of his wheel in disk form. WFC Soundwave's wheels are about the size of a quarter. Which means the disks are around the size of a quarter. Maybe a tad bigger.
So... they're pretty tiny. O.o

Why is everyone on pins and needles about these exclusives? If you really want them, you WILL get a fair shot at regular manufacturer's pricing. Just keep your ear to the ground. Heck, you can still order the SDCC First Edition Deluxe Optimus Prime in the special Matrix of Leadership packaging AND the NYCC Prime Bumblebee Taxi and G1 colors Arcee set.
Why not? It makes perfect sense to me.Hypershock wrote:orangeitis wrote:So if Voyager FoC Soundwave is near the size of Deluxe WFC Soundwave(since TFs are smaller now), then their wheels are about the same size.

You have to make "exceptions" when Hasbro makes a 2 inch Transformer. #rd party companies such as PE for example seem to make their 2 inch or less transform just fine with full articulation and heaps of detail. Don't make excuses for lazy piss poor design.

They also cost $60 or more ... you get what you pay for.

Hasbro Transformers also must go through more crap to get approved. Safety tests, drop tests, etc. 3rd party robots do not. Hasbro toys are also limited by budget. If a design exceeds $x, they must make it simpler. That's why toys like Universe Galvatron were made smaller. That's why toys like RoTF Devastator were made simpler.monstergrotusque wrote:Gearslide wrote: You have to make exceptions to figures when something that is 2 inches tall is designed to transform.

What justice is there to do? The only ones that have been shown were Rumble, Frenzy, and Laserbeak, in War for Cybertron. Laserbeak resembles his video game counterpart fairly well, except for the wing shape. Rumble and Frenzy are a similar case.

We've never even seen Ravage in the Aligned Community (WFC/FOC+Prime), so who knows if he looks accurate or not.

You can defend them as much as you want, but they are garbage.

I'm personally hoping for Snarl and Sludge. Poor bastards haven't had a toy since their original G1 molds. I'm hoping at least Sludge to be Voyager though, but I'll be happy if he's released at all.LiKwid wrote:crosses fingers for swoop~

Well since we're on the topic of G1/FoC Dinobots in their classic silver transmetal forms, I think you know what I mean.tigertracks 24 wrote:Depends what you mean.

You make it sound like you were there in person and held them in your hand. The figures aren't even out yet, and quite a few of the figures that were on display were mistransformed (looking at you, Insecticon!). I happen to love the Aligned continuity, ESPECIALLY the War for Cybertron game. To me, these figures are the perfect balance of accuracy and size limitations.
Either way, I'm going to reserve judgment until we get some in hand images, so Rumble (or is that Frenzy?) isn't just standing upright with arms to the side.

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys think of the Prime Rumble?
They're way too small to be Minicons, if my math is accurate.Gearslide wrote:I like it. I'm gonna pick it up and the inevitable Frenzy repaint. I do like when the Casseticons (I guess they're Minicons now, huh?) get sized-up figures, like the alternaters cars and the generations tanks.
