But, his wingspan is quite impressive, longer in length than the typical height of an average Voyager.

These are scaled to the FOC game scale based on Generations FOC Voyager Grimlock.

So, based off of this pic, which doesn't have Sludge (

) Snarl should be about Voyager, but slightly smaller than Grimlock; Slag/Slug would be deluxe, though probably a little beefier than Swoop (though maybe not based on this picture...) Do we have any scale pics of Sludge? It's been a while since I played the game, but I only remember him being plastered to a wall, and that he wasn't much bigger than Grimlock. Am I not remembering this correctly?

(Perhaps my real fear is that if Sludge is truly Ultra size that my wallet may not bear the strain... 8-}

)

Sludge is omitted from the pic because he wasn't playable in the game's multiplayer mode, and that was due to their only being four classes of character types to play as, none of which Sludge fit into.

The only fiction he appeared in alive were the comics for FOC, Rage of the Dinobots, and Beast Hunters, in which all the Dinobots looks about the same size each, to me, so that doesn't help us here.

I would imagine that he might be bigger than Grimlock, so maybe an Ultra class size.

That's true, but Sludge is found dead in FOC, Right? I wonder if he'll be somewhat bigger than Grimmie.

Okay, how big is Jazz compared to the dinobots? If I use his toy....GAAAA! Maybe I'll just wait for pics of the prototype. At any rate, here's a video of the gameplay with Sludge and Jazz:

Maybe Ultra is appropriate...

And here's some size pics of Caelus with Grimlock.

Geez, I wish these guys would stop with the FoC/WfC stuff already</sarcasm>

Ok yeah, I'm all over this. Keep them coming and you will continue to take my monies Planet X.

I'd also like to echo the sentiments of some others here in saying 'YES' to Paddles. That really needs to happen

Planet X .
Still need to make improvement on px-03 design, but it will be about the same height as Grimlock! Can't show all the details yet. Hopefully, we will have the prototype ready for Bot.con

Works for me. I'd love to see a one Dinobot per year, though faster would be nicer

More tasty FoC Dinobots from Planet X? Yes please

same!

does anyone know if they have plans to replace hasbros grimlock?

News Credits: 10 · by **Agamemnon** » Thu May 08, 2014 10:22 pm

Okay, that's a little over-reaction for this render, but I'm just happy to see they are moving on with this line. Woot!

I thought their line showed Grimlock at the end. Let me see if I can find the graphic from the Swoop thread...

[Edit] Okay, found this picture:

Looks like a really good size, can't wait until October(if that's accurate). I was thinking about picking up the Target version of Grimmy in the G1 scheme, but if Sludge is coming out so quickly, I may pass since he won't really match.

I find that the Takara FOC Grimlock to match the best with these guys.

Dude, the Silver Knight OP & Grimlock 2-pack is $30, and both figures are really, really nice. I've only seen 2 at retail, in the same Target, and I regret getting just 1. Totally worth picking up, even if he's not used as your FOC Grimlock.

Same - Takara's darker deco just makes him match a bit better. I have Takara as my FOC Grimlock, and now have to choose between Platinum and Silver Knight as my Classics... depends on which Grimmy the Iron Factory add-on matches better.

Takara Grimlock with the wings add on, and the MP looking head is my Classics Grimmy.
I can't remember which add on kit was which at this point

As far as this figure, I do wish it was a little bigger, but if it is the same as Grimlock, that will be OK with me too.

I guess this will be the first 3rd party Sludge to hit the market. He looks alright, but I'm so focused on the "MP" Dinos now. Pricing and timing will definitely be a factor in picking him up. Even though I do have multiple FoC Grimlocks on display (just got the Target exclusive with SK Prime last night).

I do like the shade of grey Planet X is using. Very bold!

Nice, nice!

Sludge and Grimlock were the only G1 Dinobots I owned, so this is the one I'm looking forward to the most.

With him, their Swoop and FOC Grimlock, that's 60% of the Dinobots for my Classics/Neo-G1 shelves.

Okay, you're right. A Paddles would be cool to get, too.
