Why? He wasn't on the show.

Aren't these based on the 86 movie, not the show? The show was wildly all over the place regarding scale. The movie at least kept it in control mostly.sol magnus wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Slag looks good. But he's huge. I was hoping he's be just a little smaller than Grimlock.

The Dinobots only briefly appeared in robot mode in the movie, and both times they all looked about the same height in robot mode:Rodimus Prime wrote:Aren't these based on the 86 movie, not the show?

I hope Jolt and Grindor look good when they are revealed.

Fingers crossed we get some real studio series leaks/reveals soon. I am holding out hope that grindor is upscaled and not just a repaint. But with all the budget going into making the G1 dinobots, I don't have much hope for this sadly. Still holding out for a leader class The Fallen and the rest of the movie dinobots also, but we need to please the G1 man-children people first
Without whom you wouldn't have anything that came after G1. You're welcome.LinaNui wrote:Still holding out for a leader class The Fallen and the rest of the movie dinobots also, but we need to please the G1 man-children people first

But yes, a leader Fallen is long overdue in SS, as is Galvatron, who will be another voyager.
I just know he was the same size as Optimus in the movie, so they will stick to that scale. It would be great if he was the same size as DoTM Megatron, as his Freightliner truck mode was larger than Prime's truck mode I believe.-Kanrabat- wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:

Maybe yes, maybe no for AoE Galvatron. He could be a leader depending on the "meat" of the guy. If they go simple shellformer like the orginal, he would be voyager all the way. But if they manage to make the shell disappear while being as THICC as Leader DotM Megatron, he would be a leader.
It will depend on the engineering and parts count.

I think had they were cleaned up slightly once it was clear that they were going to be in a different line, probably while they were still CAD files. So no extra money needed. You keep forgetting that these were designed for WfC first then shunted Iver to the Studio Series line. Some of the movie characters may well appear in what follows WfC as the lines are rumoured to be 50% G1, so as I said earlier, we could get two more dinos in ss86 and then the last in next year's main Generations line.
Anyhow, to reiterate, at least for this first wave of figures no more money was spent on them then they would have had if they remained wfc. All that's changed is smoothing of details.

Also, since Slag comes with a Daniel figure, we can assume both Snarl and Sludge will come with one. The question is who?
Were they ever paired with a small character, human or not?

I don't have any real attachment with any of these characters, but they look to all be incredibly great figures... I get $50 seems steep, especially if you tend to buy almost everything in a line.
But imo these Dinobots are not to be missed.
I can't see either of the last 2 Dinobots being packed with a human character. I mean, Spike is it from the movie, so he may come with one. But the last two may be released in another line, and either way I don't see a small character added in. Who knows, Hastak may be deciding that a leader class figure with a weapon is enough to justify a $50 price tag in the year 2022.

That's the kind of negativity I can't have in my life.
Kidding. But hopefully he's either a huge voyager, or a slightly smaller leader.
When I look at my 35th Anniversary OP next to SS86 Grimlock, and I start envisioning Swoop as short as OP, it just looks odd... And Swoop really shouldn't be that much smaller than the others.
