I agree that Grimlocks dino mode is a bit lacking but I like his robot mode. I'm assuming some of the bulk is removable much like their Motormaster's was.

The lady velociraptor is a lot of fun. I prefer her without the split heads hanging off her shoulders but I'm on board.

Now that looks good. The orange color could use some tweaking but overall, I like it.

Liking what I see for the completion of the line and an awesome original addition. A bit of a wait to get to Snarl but it'll be worth it.

I love grims head sculpt, but I'm really not feeling his torso. Maybe I'll change my mind once I start seeing proper reviews.

It does look good I admit. Kinda sucks the original didnt get the stickers. Hopefully they right that wrong when the others come out. On a side note, it sucks for the people going the diaclone route that they dont get a hip fix for columpio. Oh well, as much as I like diaclone homages, these decos just dont differ enough to make me wanna double dip. Now if they would make some G2 decos....

I like him, even if I think the shoulders do look a bit too high. I wonder if that's the way it's meant to be or if it is slightly mistransformed.

As for Dino mode, just seen the below pic on another site that makes it look a hell of a lot better than first thought.

Grimlock looks fierce, which is kind of the point.

Also is that a Dinoking shell in the background?

Snarl looks good. The dino head is a little FOCish, I would have preferred him to look more like a plant eating lizard than a croc. But the robot mode looks awesome definitely G1 cartoon inspired. Perfect choice for classics.

Robot mode is very G1 looking, the dino head on the side of legs just like the G1 toy

There's quite a few Dinoforce shells hanging behind the femmeraptor, too.

So I'm being lead to believe that the Dino-femme is going to actually be twins? One is turning into a velociraptor and the other a Pachysephalosaurus. Sounds like fun to me!

Though I am passing on a number of other FP projects, they still find ways to get my money...

Someone on TFW who claims he talked to the designers at TFcon.

Also, 2 renders with 2 different dino heads, both named LER-05. A 2 pack to cover the cost, since one of them would be way smaller than the others.

Oh ok. That would be cool I guess. I always thought FP's original silhouette looked like an ankylosaur though. :-?

Not sure why. I guess the weapon made me think of the clubbed tail.

That's the teaser I was referring to. And that is blatantly a different figure than Raptor Girl.

Just going to get the Snarl and I don't even like it from the pics... This whole line has been quite disappointing... Planet X's Grimlock looks a 100 times better.
