That's alright, the vintage toy didn't have separate legs and the vitage cartoon model didn't work in real life, so he's alreay broken with tradition. Doubly amusing considering how damned Neo the FP Dinobots are anyway.

Seriously. Just paint the damned things if it gets you that frustrated.

So, I was going through and reorganizing my figures, and catching up on some maintenance, and I found the bag of red and grey plugs that came with Cubrar. Anybody have any idea where they go?

The only thing i can think of is that they're used to close screw holes.
But i might be wrong since Cubrar isn't in my collection yet...

I don't remember these. I'll have to have a look when I get home. Cubrar's Slag, right?

Slag is correct. Thanks!

I didn't get any red and grey plugs. What's that all about, I wonder?

Nope. No pegs in mine. Not even a mention in the instructions or contents.

Okay, sorry about the delay. I finally got some pics uploaded. Here is one of the plugs I am talking about:

Now, the bottom plugs are for Planet X Summanus (though I think the longer plugs might be for Neptune. I still need to check that out. If anybody knows, I'd appreciate that info too.) But for this thread,m I am wondering about the top bag. Did no one else get this bag of plugs?

If not, does anyone want to buy an exclusive FansProject set of plugs for $500? :-s

I didn't get that bag at all! are you sure they are for FP's dinobots? I've never heard of such bag! you might have some sort of Lucky Draw Fansproject screw plugs, might want to hang on to that

Yeah, I got a lot of stuff in my POL. I kept trying to remember if there was something else it may have come with. But, the colors really only match the FP Dinobots. *shrug* I'll check and see if the plugs fit anywhere cool.

Thanks all!

Are these FP bruisers MP scaled? Do they get along with MP Tomy Grimlock?

News Credits: 10 · by **Agamemnon** » Wed Apr 08, 2015 9:56 pm

I think they are too small for MP. They are roughly Ultra sized, by my estimation. I'll have to see if I can take a pic with MP Rodimus as I do not have MP Grimlock or MP-10 yet...

Looking forward to it. Thanks!

Far too small for MP's. But they fit in with FOC Grimlock very nicely.

Indeed, as Insurgent said, far too small. Here's Columpio and MP-09 Rodimus. Both FP dinos are about the same height.

There are, however, two or three different options for MP Dinobots if you'd rather have the larger scale fellas.

Guess what just dropped into my POL.... I can't wait to compare my 2 3P Swoops. :DANCE:

To ship or not to ship....

Im not shipping until the 2 throttlebots arrive. I honestly expected them to show first.

BBTS list FP Columbo as a 7.5 inch tall robot. Think 7.5 is a Voyager robot height not Ultra.

That Hasbro MP Hot Rod next to Columbo is only Nine inches tall not 9.6. because the legs are not extended due to it being in the Hotrod robot shorter height configuration.

Looking at that Comparison pic of MP Hotrod and FP Columbo. Doubt Columbo has a 7.5 inch tall robot height. As he looks too short next to a Nine inch tall MP Hotrod toy.

More often than less Import sites and Third party companies get the cm and inches wrong in robot heights. Recent example Saying TW Evila star had a 8.9 inch robot height. When Evila barely has a 8.5 inch tall robot height.

They are voyager sized. How tall is FOC Grimlock? The Voyager? They're the same height in robot mode as he is.

News Credits: 10 · by **Agamemnon** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 9:09 pm

I don't know. I had him in the back row with Silverbolt (Classics not CW) and Powerglide, and he seemed of a similar size, if just a shade smaller. These guys are much beefier than many of my other voyagers, like Inferno and Springer. That's why I said, "by my estimation."

But, I also don't want to rehash the whole height-doesn't-define-size-class with Tsut again... :BANG_HEAD:

[Edit] And then, I cannot help myself.

Here he is with Generations Silverbolt (Ultra),

Generations Springer (thin and lanky Voyager)

FoC Grimlock (as well as other 3P Dinobots from FP and PX).

In addition, here he is with Cubrar, who is even bulkier.

Now, I'm not trying to say that these are definitely not voyagers, but they are definitely bigger than many of my voyagers (except for Grimlock, who is among the tallest of my Voyagers.) To me, the bulk, in particular, led me to say that I believed them to be closer to Ultra sized.

And it really isn't important on whether we call them "ultra" or "voyager." I think the size comparison pics are what are more valuable than some size designation that really can be all over the place.

(Grumble, why do I feel the need to argue this out again... :BOOM:

This is a reflection of me more than anybody else...)

Don't want to get into this debate either. As it's too time consuming, frustrating and often upsets other members.

Think the FP Dino Robo toys are Voyager class toys. due to this pic right here.

Think Generations Blitzwing is a better toy to use, As he's got a 7.4 inch tall Voyager robot height and has some bulk.

30th Springer is a short and slim robot for a voyager. 2.0 Silverbolt is skinny with no bulk for a Ultra toy.

Seriously, as many, including myself have said, it's not just height, dude...

I think we could say that the FP dinos so far, with the exception of the Not-Swoop, are somewhere between large voyagers and small ultras. If anyone wants a pic next to anything, I'll do my best (like I did with MP Rodimus).

If you can please take pics of Columbo next to Generations Blitzwing, 30th Sky byte, CW Voyager Optimus and Classics Ultra Onslaught. I'd really like to see these pics. Think these toys are perfect as they have the height and bulk.
