he reminds me a lot of the previous generations mould so it might be some prototype tho i don't recall the dino head being able to move...

on the other hand it might be a new, hopefully larger toy.

Being combiner focused does not negate the possibility that hastak release beast wars or other figure esp with the 20th anniversary coming up

Hmm I have a bad feeling that some people are going to be disappointed with this. It doesn't have a lot of transformation points visible but at the same time, what is on display shows its not masterpiece level. This is either fan made or a simplified figure.

I do believe hasbro won't miss beast wars anniversary but I think it may be a separate line to generations or maybe part of their upcoming simplified collection, cyber warriors was it?

Also who said dinobot was appearing in IDW? I know Grimlock is making a reappearance.

i would like it to be a 1st party deluxe or voyager but im going to have to lean more towards 3rd party, hasbros to obsessed with repainted combiners to do anything like this right now. Looks pretty cool what ever it is though

Part of the "Women in Transformers" SDCC panel mentioned that allot of "post g1" characters would be making an appearance in either windblade's last few issues and/or the upcoming "Till all are one" ongoing starting smarch 2016. Characters appearing in issue 6 of Windblade include Cheetor, Dinobot, Manta Ray, Sonar, Airazor, Tigatron, possibly Blackarachnia, beast wars bonecrusher, and Transquito. Appearing in "Till all are one" regularly or irregularly will include victorion and a new female decipticon.

Also I doubt that beast wars 20th will be shoved into cyber warriors line, especially considering Rhinox and Waspy where already in generations.

That's definitely a shame, I would have liked the figure to be official...

...But still, if this guy made a bunch of those and sold them he'd probably make a fortune and could even start up his own Third Party company.

NOT on par with the other new Beast Wars offerings. The huge robot pieces underneath are not acceptable.

I'm kind of intrigued by the Cheetor he had in the background. I'd like to see more of that as well. Shame it's a fan made toy but I can still hope Someone gives us a new Dinobot figure sometime in the near future.

Well that's the end of that chapter. I wonder how long it took him to make?

Over used phrase, but before you start saying what is or is not 'acceptable', how about you do something of note so we can sit around judging.

I think its nice work, credit to the designer

Oy I knew it couldn't be da real deal. :BANG_HEAD:

by **happylock** » Sun Jul 19, 2015 1:35 pm

I think we will start seeing more of these as 3-d printers become cheaper and more fans have them. I know if I had one I would be working on my own figures and enhancements. One day... For now i just have to bother my co-worker who has one

Also just cuz its fan made doesnt mean it couldnt see a production run. Once the designs are done on a 3-d printer they could easily be handed over to a factory to have them mass produced. ALL THIRD PARTY figures are FAN MADE

Not being able to produce toys on ones' own does not in any way, shape or form exclude someone from having an opinion on an existent toy. If it were, you'd actually have to show something you've designed before being able to tell someone else that they had to do the same.

Hopefully it'll at least be available . I don't tend to buy third party stuff, but this I'd go for in a heartbeat.

Having seen the second video, this thing looks to be about the height of Optimal Optimus if it's really that much taller than the original Ultra Optimus Primal. So it's like a Super class (present day Leader class) Dinobot.

I got elated...then saddened. Poor Dinobot. Poor beast wars cast. They really need done some justice (New Beast line after titan wars, perhaps? or even during it (one titan did birth a beast population))

Should this be in the 3rd party thread now that it's been debunked?

It's not even third party, since there are like 2 of these, and they were made by this guy, for himself. So if anything this should be in the customs board.

this is one time i hate being right, oh well im sure someone will catch on some day that we want a new dinobot. But anyway i bet the dude got a hold of a 3d printer and did this to try it out, its what i would do.

That too. Either or. As the information has been confirmed already. Just saying......

Well to be fair, it was so anomalous for like 24 hours, even like TFW reported it as a possible Generations Dinobot prototype.
