So MP is still number 1?

Yup. MP is still #1. The only way for it to be beaten is if they pull a MP Grimlock 2.0 that is somehow better.

My top 3 of "G1" Grimlocks: MP, SS, G1.

What would make the mp better though

Seeing that people have apparently had Slag in hand, I'm thinking it won't be long till he leaks. Though I am hoping that Hasbro has some Studio Series surprises that haven't leaked, just like Black Zarak

Rescaling and perfect cartoon accuracy. And it would only be "better" if it's not full of fragile bits à-la Hound, not overly complicated to transform.

As for the SS line, I'm looking forward completing all the Dinobots. Even if it take 2 years and the dinos crossing multiple lines. As long that they match with each other.

Not having screw holes on one side of the dino head is another point in the MP's favor. I like the color and plastic choices on the MP more. Has better accessories too.

Just if we compare MP VS Studio on a figure-only level. if / when all the other dinos come out it'll definitely have that over the MP. In a big way.

One thing for sure. All the dinos will come out as "mini Masterpiece" WAY before the dinos ever get complete in the MP line.

More wallet friendly too.

This is definitely going to be true. You'd probably be able to get all the ss dinobots for the cost of one mp dino

Maybe not one but definitely two.

I also want the other Age of Extinction Dinobots.

That is my fear with them being spaced out. The PotP dinos were all within 2 waves and all matched. 6 months later they release red Swoop and he sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest. I just hope they stocked up on alot of grey plastic.

MP Grimlock's hands could also be improved, the part of the sword that plugs into the little hole on his hand broke off so only one hand can hold his weapons now
I wouldn't mind some extra articulation in his arms either
The knee ratchets on mine are a bit tight and stop in some slightly awkward spots, and the hips aren't as tight

Probably my biggest gripe is just that due to transformation if you pick hip up by grabbing his torso, the hips will extend because of transformation and his chest won't hold either. I wish it had a way to click into place so it didn't extend so easily

All that fixed would be pretty amazing. Or even just the last bit I mentioned and the hands. The rest was just nitpicking of course, I still really love my MP Grimlock

That's what they did for ROTF Devastator and it was perfect.

I don't think they'll drop the ball over the beloved Dinobots.

why does red Swoop stick out? He's the way he's supposed to be, isn't he? Besides, the other Dinobots have more red on them than blue, so if anyone sticks out it's blue swoop.

I think if the other Dinos get done in current Generations leader size, where they're the same size as Grimlock, they will scale perfectly with the MP, since the MP is just a tad taller than the SS. Except Sludge, he should be bigger than Grimlock.

Hey Everyone!

So I have a relative at Hasbro (who I can't name) but they just showed me images of the next wave of Studio Series figures! I don't have the whole wave yet, but there's a few I know people have been waiting for!





This last one is a leader class figure, but I can't figure out who it is. . .




. . . I made that for the joke, but PLEASE Hasbro don't actually repaint Crowbar into Hatchet. I think a retool could maybe work, but after "Crankcase" I'm a little concerned xD

I love this holiday!

My eyes went straight to the pictures, so you actually got me for a few seconds

Congratulations, you've won the internet today.

Thank you, I had a lot of fun making those xD

This, so much this.

It's a true kick in the balls that there will be 2 SS Leader G1 Dinobots before we even get a 2nd Live Action Dinobot, and there were only 4 of them and the first came out 3 years ago! We have a good voyager Scorn that just needs a movie accurate paint scheme like Grimlock, and then a voyager or leader Slug and a voyager Strafe to finish it.

This is why I'm glad I got Takara's Black Knight redecos for the AOE Dinobots (minus Grimlock) when I did.

They were pretty looking, but I want the other 3 dinobots in that SS Grimlock wash and big

Not just big, but brand new molds with better engineering. If you compare SS Grimlock to the AoE voyager and especially the leader, it's night and day how brilliant the SS is mold wise.

TLK voyager Slash is already perfect and just need to be repainted and re-released like they did for KSI Boss. They need to release the remaining four as voyagers and leaders. Better yet, they could release the '86 and AoE Dinobots side by side! It would be awesome, but the similar names may confuse normies.

FTFY.

I agree that the engineering for tlk scorn is just *chef's kiss*, but for consistent robot mode scale, one of the things SS ostensibly strives for, the aoe dinos all need to be leader to be done proper justice. Even strafe, whose main body sans wings could probably fit in a voyager box, needs the leader plastic allotment to do his wings and tail justice.
