Things 3rd-Party companies should make

Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about unlicensed and knock off TF products.

TO be honest, I'm surprised no 3rd party has done these guys yet.


There was supposed to be that dinobot combiner, right? I didn't like that idea at all (mostly coz the dinobots become too small and ugly). If we get some 3rd party dinobots, please don't make them combine.

I never thought of those as Dinobots. Shoe-horned Dinoforce members perhaps bet never the real deal.

Proper Dinobots (or Dinobot homages) only please


You are forgetting Justitoys had the whole Dinorobot line of WST Dinobots. I have most of them. I'm only missing red Snarl and the comic color set. They did tease us with Hybrid Style Snarl but I think that has been cancelled now that they decided to move away from G1.

I think we were all talking about a modern and updated bunch of dinobots that could actually be poseable.

Alright I think I have the best suggestion, not to put all of yours down, but...

A FULL SIZED, WORKING, TRANSFORMABLE EXO-SUIT!

Release date 2030? Whatever, just do it.

No matter what product is being released, I REALLY wish 3rd Parties would make their stated deadlines. The recent (and umpteenth) pushback from iGear regarding Ironhide, Ratchet, Cosmos, and Brawn prompted this response, but they aren't the only ones guilty of delaying release.

To be fair, I would rather have to wait longer to get something at top quality than have something on time but feels like crap. Valkyrie springs to mind there. Delicate Warrior got delayed and the product that got released was exceptional. Didn't Fansproject delay the Bruticus add ons because they discovered a small difference with versions of the Barricade mold? They made sure Crossfire was 100% compatable. That is acceptable to me.

Btw, when I mentioned the wst Dinorobots, I just meant to point out that the team has been done by a third party, they just aren't in scale.

I agree with you on wanting top quality (especially for top prices being paid), but it's frustrating when release dates are given but not adhered to. I'd rather a company say "August 2012" and have time to allow for some production line errors, if the process went smoothly the product might be released a bit earlier.

Perhaps this is all part of the nature of 3P?

Hmm, seeing the review on the FoC Bruticus makes me interested to see if anyone is going to dabble with that set. God knows there's room for improvement there.

Poor Skids. Even 3rd parties ignore him. On a kind-of related note, does anyone else think that FOC Grimlock looks really impressive? I really hope that HasTak do the other 4, and I think they might. Their support of FOC has been far better than I had anticipated.

I for one am looking forward to any and all FoC Bruticus upgrades. Especially for Onslaught's hideous alt mode.

I hope each upgrade comes in colors for every redeco, or at least colored to fit in with any version.

I just got FOC Shockwave and I was thinking.... maybe an Add on kit for him to make him more CHUG?

A g1 arm cannon and black cord to peg into his back.

ALSO, I think some company could easily make leg add-ons, kinda like parallax armor, to not only add bulk to his shins, but maybe even make him taller. I was thinking FOC Shockwave could be an inch bigger and it still wouldn't totally mess up his proportions.

I know many people would say "just make a new figure all together", but I think some company could very easily be pull this off, and would be relatively cheaper than a large oversized voyager.

FOC Shockwave would still be scrawny, but if he was 1 inch taller he would be at a really ideal height for CHUG, at least when you look at the scale chart.

I think that's a good idea. They could even make it so that the add-on bits are used to make his alt mode into a gun like in G1.
