WST Sludge and Swoop turned up yesterday, they're utterly awesome. The detail is outstanding, I think they're easily the best non-official transformers out there.

I do have a couple of grumbles - Swoop's missile launchers don't fit into his wings and Sludge's sword doesn't fit into his hand. I guess they didn't take into account the chromeing.

They have made sludge's head turn so he keeps his title as most posable dinobot - you can give him a cool pose with both hands (almost) on his gun - see pic.

A note of caution with Swoop - when you transform him his chest panels are ridiculously tight, I'd suggest loosening the screws on his back rather than risk breaking him.

So get yourself over to TFSource and order them!!! (If you haven't already ordered them.)

They are indeed beautiful.

I enjoy mine all the time. But that is a great suggestion for those Swoops!

I got mine the other day and I agree on Swoop - his chest is very tight. I used a thin screwdriver to pry it apart, but I probably should have loosened the screws. The thing is, once it is open you can keep it open. It is needed for bot mode, and in dino mode there is a little landing wheel that folds out.

Maybe I'm using the wrong missles, but I can't get the missles to fit into Swoop's launchers.

They look great! I hope to complete my WST Dinobots soon. . .

I had that problem with my stocking stuffer version. You may need to do some customizing/trimming.

My set has shipped from TFSource and from these pics it looks like I'll be more than pleased with them when they arrive,Justitoys have done a great job and I'll be intrested to see what other characters they decide to do. Looking ahead it's going to be fun posing Grimlock alongside his Masterpiece counterpart

I'm not sure about the Animated one but the WW version looks nice and will be my first Titanium figure.
The real icing on the cake for me would be an Encore Grimlock.
