Think FT is the clear winner with the superior Gold colored parts on their Dinobots toys.

Im' all in for GP i'm not a fan of the FT dinos don't like scoria at all and the whole grimlock being smaller and needing moon boots looks terrible . These guys are so big and look powerfull they will make a very impressive set .

and i can get fully behind 3rdp dinobots as these are something i'm not expecting from takara in the next few year , allthough by the time these are finished takara will have started theres :lol:

Nice shade of gold. I'd prefer gold chrome but if they're going for gold paint then that's a good colour they have there.

"Superior" more often than not comes down to your subjective opinion...

Haven't committed into buying any 3rd party Dinobots yet. Going to be waiting for the clearance sales, I'm heavily guessing will come

After another Glance at the Giga Power Dinobots. I might consider getting them instead of the FT Dinobots.

What Bothered me most about the FT Dinobots is not present here on these GP Dinobots. Noticed GP has created more normal and beautiful looking Robot and beast heads.

Think FT Slag is beautiful and will be harder for GP to beat. While I Think FT Snarl is vastly inferior to GP Snarl.

If SXS, Dr Wu or someone else creates replacements robot and maybe dino heads for the FT Dinobots, Then I might strongly consider buying those.

Honestly could care less about proper scale and having stand alone toys or not. Whichever of these FT or GP Dinobots goes on deeper clearance and cost around $100, will be the team of 3rd party MP Dinobots that i'll buy.

Those effect parts are beautiful, and the fact that they're entirely optional (so you can have either the G1 sword or a FLAMING FLACHION OF DEATH) is just awesome. Even if Takara brought out MP Dinobots or I went with the FT Dinos I'd be tempted to get these as well. They're just so damned cool!

I think I will be going with the silver. Unfortunate the silver one doesn't come with all the accessories though.

There are a few more pics on their weibo site but they are compressed and look a little grainy but i guess theyll also post the hi-res versions on their Facebook at sometime soon?

WOO CHROME!

This is looking good.

looks stunning, but super lame that the chrome is DIY. for two hundred bucks, i want it assembled for me. by kat dennings.

by **Kollector** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 10:30 pm

Same size as MP Ultra Magnus as expected. Looking way better than FT Dinobots. Way beefier than Scoria. Nice option for those who like a Real Man's Dinobot set. Lol. Can't wait. Now which version to get?

The internets are so confusing sometimes... You're joking here, right? 8-}

Although, if all it took was $200 for Kat Dennings to come over....

$200 AND I will cook for her. And she can tell me how sad it is that I spend so much on little robots...
