Oh God, I hope they're going to make figures of these guys.

We can only hope. It'd be nice to have 'em!

We'll probably get a Deluxe Grimlock released under the Generations line since he's the character they'll really promoting. I wouldn't count on a full set, but one can dream.

Words cannot express how much I want these as toys.

I was hoping we would get a toy of the previous version of WFC Grimlock. He was only in the DS game, but the sketches I saw were remarkable. Looked very good.

Sat Oct 22, 2011 3:07 am

Man, I'd be all over these. Heck, I'd take WFC Grimlock alone, so's to replace my Classics Grimlock

Sat Oct 22, 2011 3:38 am

This certainly does not mean we're getting them. Last game we only got 4 molds, we'll be lucky if we get 4 molds from this game.

I predict a Grimlock and not the rest of the Dinobots.

News Credits: 4 · Sat Oct 22, 2011 9:14 pm

I really hope we get all five Dinobots instead of just the Grimlock that we will probably end up with...

News Credits: 2 · Sat Oct 22, 2011 9:20 pm

Doubtful we'd get all five. In all likelyhood, they'll re-release the previous four and make a new mold for Grimlock alone.

There's a user on TFW who people accept as "in the know" who is claiming we'll be getting all 5. So who knows?

News Credits: 20 · Sat Oct 22, 2011 11:23 pm

I would die happy if we only got that Swoop. I can guarantee I'd buy at least two. The design for him is just awesome to me. I'm glad to see my favorite Dinobot get some love. The idea of all 5 sounds fantastic though.

Sun Oct 23, 2011 1:09 am

Not holding my breath that we'll get a whole set, let alone that they'll look any good. Like in the last game, the transformations look to border on impossible without fudging it a lot.

Well, if Hasbro doesn't make any of the Dinobots, we can still rely on the 3rd party to come through. (note this was also posted to pissing off Hasbro into making them

)

Maybe they only approved four figures for the first game because they weren't sure how well the game would do. Now that they know it's a successful franchise, successful enough to spawn a sequel, maybe they'll expand the toy line.

Definitely want Slag and Swoop. Grimlock can go to hell for all I care :^/

They just had too much going on. Animated was ending, as was hunt for the decepticons ROTF continuation line, DOTM was coming up, the power core combiners, and other generations figures.

We're really lucky to have gotten anything from the game.
So, in a year, things may be lightened up enough that they can do more toys from the game.

Mon Oct 24, 2011 10:47 am

As long as they look G1ish like the pictures, I will buy all 5.

News Credits: 33 · Mon Oct 24, 2011 11:22 am

These are the only figures that have the juice to get me excited and back into the buzz of things.

Mon Oct 24, 2011 11:47 am

well i hope they do bring out a few dinobots - i missed out so badly first time around when they first had the full 5 dinos.. so now this would be an interesting haul for me if they do bring em out

...just hope my fiancee understands and doesn't go all kick-butt on me

Another good point! The new game comes out in 2012, and the Movie line of toys will be over by then. That will leave Hasbro with Prime and Generations/Universe.

I would prefer a figure of Divebomb, like he was in the comic before the future Predacon stole his name, but really, I'll be happy with any deluxe Swoop that's as good as some of the recent Generations/RTS/Classics styled guys we've had. Not sure the rest would look good as small deluxes, but we'll see. I'm ok with MP Grimmy as my Classics stand-in, Dino-mode at least is spot-on.

I wouldn't mind getting the much-ignored Sludge. Other than that I could take them or leave them.

(I am of course lying, I would buy all 5 but I wouldn't be so excited about the others)
