Don't like the Dino head slightly in the torso. As it reminds me of a Turtle head in it's shell.

I hope we get to see the rest of the members and combined mode soon as well?

So weird the combined mode wasn't shown right away?

I heard it was delayed to end of Oct or early Nov

Thanks for the review Gema! this looks pretty good and since I'm no longer automatically getting all the fansproject Dinobots I would consider this.. too bad the gold chrome on this clashes so much with Takara grimlock, planet X Swoop and FP Sludge.. hmmm..

Thanks for the review!

I'm glad I held back on 3rd Party Dinobots, because I might just be in with TW. Echoing a previous comment, this is what Hasbro should be doing. Of the 3 major companies I would consider (sorry Mecha Form), TW's take would fit best on my shelf. I'll wait to see what the next few look like, but I'm really leaning towards Toy World right now.

Nice!

I think I'm throwing my hat in with TW on this one. If he comes into stock at TFsource before MBC Onslaught does, I'm switching out my preorder for MBC with TW Roar so that particular order can ship (finally).

I just ordered Roar from Chimungmung worked out £4 cheaper than kapow , it's not much but it's something and Tony has it in stock , so i should have it by the end of next week if his delivery speed is still top notch .

I hope TFCON has some new prototypes on show .

Thanks for the video review link.

Noticed the video reviewer bought and is using those G-1 back ground art and floor tiles.

These look real purdy. Loving that Grimlock (who I assume can take a "proper" Tyrannosaurus stance) and Slag looks wonderfully cute.

I wonder how big exactly they are? They seem to be taller than Evasion Mode Prime but then I have heard he's smaller than previous Voyagers. Really I want my Dinobots big.

Regardless, this looks good. Now Toyworld, don't screw this up and give the combiner parts nothing to do in the separate modes!

Individual shape and detailing looks good. But....

I like my Dinobot team to stand next to each other, probably in alt mode. And I don't know that I can do a Sludge next to Snarl where Snarl is actually bigger/taller at the back. (Apatasaurus is much bigger than Stegosaurus, anyway. See pic below.) ToyWorld really doesn't have a choice based on making this a combiner...

Why did TW make Grimlock's dino head so tiny. Part of Grimlock's iconic dino look is his giagantic T-rex head.

Chimungmung has slag and sludge on preorder with a release date of January 2015. http://chimungmung.com/product_info.php ... ts_id=2105 http://chimungmung.com/product_info.php ... ts_id=2105

I thought i was taking a risk going with TW and it looks like it paid off Grimlock looks awesome.

However i'm not a fan of the chrome on sludges back in dino mode and i really don't like that stupid looking light piping on his head , robot mode looks fantastic though .

Much less impressed with Sludge - the chrome placement is off-putting, and the dino legs as part of the back-panel kibble/wings is really, really distracting.

how didn't i see those legs and another bad design is the sword in his neck why not just put it in the tail again :BANG_HEAD:

Damn it i hate that leg kibble :-x

I really like the chrome on these, to be honest. It's one of it's biggest selling points. I want ALL of the toys!

I get the feeling I'm the easiest to please on the whole 3rd party forums. :lol:

Even after so many years collecting 3rd party products still look incredible to me. Just, in general.

Sludge doesn't look quite as nice as Snarl, but he still looks decent. A shame he doesn't have the wonderful flexy neck though.

Also, I really wish they'd actually give these toys different weapons instead of the same weedy looking sword.

this, also does anyone else think his sword looks like a rectangle with a diamond on top? :???:
