Those look utterly fantastic.

I want them, but it makes me want the real deal even more.

im so glad i ordered these two months ago from xbertoys $55 that is with shipping

With the G1 Dinobots unlikely to be reissued & the originals being expensive the WSD's are the next best thing for many collectors and the last 2 look like finishing off the set in style.

Pre-ordered these ages ago. Cannot wait to get them.

Nice, although I'd find a finished one more atractive

Looks good but prices probably are gonna be high.

From TFsource:
"Set Price: WST Jungle Warrior + Mystery Figure Set - $41.90"

About the price of a movie Voyager in my country. I don't think that's too bad.

They look good. I only wanted Grimlock initially, now it seems I have to get them all

I just pre-ordered mine yesterday. Just a couple of hours before they posted these images. I can't wait for them to finally release them, my others are lonely.

Well, Justitoys did another good job on these. My finished collection is going to look great. Too bad Takara/Tomy isn't getting the hint...

Wow. Just wow. Swoop is absolutely gorgeous. Guess I know what I'll be asking my wife to get me for Christmas now!

The Justitoys micro dinobots might look a little off scale compared to your G1 bots... but come.... you just "gotta" pose them with Unicron. :-)

Heck yes! Mini-Swoop is looking great, I can't wait to pick him and Sludge up! :grin:

Pretty excellent job. I'll be picking these up for sure.

How big are these guys? Are they only a little smaller then the G1 molds or are they alot smaller?

News Credits: 7 · by **Geekee1** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 10:15 am

They're about 3" tall.

Indeed. But in this case tiny=awesome.

I hope they have a set for sale that has all the swords & missile launchers.....then I would have them all in one nice package! These look really great, I just wish they'd have painted Swoop's chest the Dialone blue instead of red.....I can always fix that though!

by **korean-ironhide** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 12:05 pm

I think that's still in the realm of possibility. These are prototype images after all.

I have the real Diaclone Swoop, and I can tell you the pointed beak instead of the rounded one is inspired by the Diaclone version. The legs are definitely based on the Transformers version though (the Diaclone Swoop doesn't have an iron bar between the legs).

I fully expect the final versions of these to be cartoon acurate, since all their previous releases were. Already have the others, and they're great.

by **Ramrider** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 12:19 pm

Those are gorgeous, and make me wish I had money; even though I do only have two WSTs anyway.

I just noticed something, though. I don't recall my G1 Sludge having a movable head. Do these WSDs actually have more articulation than the originals..? :shock:

by **Dclone Soundwave** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 12:59 pm

Hmm...I think I'll re-paint my G1 Swoop. I'm not one to care about value after all these years, all I care about is cartoon accuracy, so a Diaclone Swoop I shall have! (Plus real Diaclone Swoops would cost me a fortune......)
