This question might already be out there, but has anyone heard of any of the other dinobots coming out thru the Generations line. or will we see some dinobot figures through Beast hunters toyline.

No word as of yet, just Voyager Grimlock so far. Though with Rage of the Dinobots, I would hope to see more through the BH line.

With the whole IDW thing going on I think they should release the other 4 Dinos each with an issue Rage of the Dinobots comic 1-4.

How perfect would that be?

Too convenient. I don't expect to see any more Dinobots any time soon.

Regrettably, neither do I.

Grimlock's the popular one. Stegosaurus and Triceratops are difficult to get to safety standards in the US, especially when they also transform into robots. Hasbro seems to have a big hate-on with Sludge. It's unlikely any Dinobot besides Grimlock will be appearing in the Prime cartoon.

There are a lot of factors working against them.

well what about swoop at least

Even if they don't do new molds, I wish they would at least do some remolds, just to add to the CHUG lineup. I would love to at least have all of the first two years of characters.

Something like this I could accept.

Agreed. That custom set is beautiful and awesome. I had forgotten about them, always happy to see them. I would love to buy dino Dinobots and vehicle Dinobots.

Souf, do you own FOC Airraid? He can transform into this:


Not sure if he is supposed to be Cybertronian Swoop, a homage, or neither. Either way, he could be a Cybertronian Dinobot if you want him to be. He doesn’t have Swoops iconic robot mode, so he won’t be Swoop to me but it was exciting to discover his alt mode. I am sure that he was designed to look that way, but the whole front end doesn’t lock in well. It even looks like he has claws and or feet.

I wrote about it a little while back in this forum.

The wings and legs meet up perfectly. It looks like he was designed this way. It is like a triple changer, or maybe the designers decided to create a robot that can transform into two distinctly different vehicle modes. They sell one as Shockwave and one as Swoop. But later they decided against it and just went with Fireflight, then Airraid. It isn’t a perfect swoop, but it is very reminiscent of him, or very Cybertronian. All of the Cybertronian versions are unique designs but similar to their G1 forms. And his colors are red, gold, and gray. He looks also looks like Terranotron, or universe Skydive.

I had the same thought. It would conveniently fit into a single wave, too, and probably be sold the same time the Grimlock vs Bruticus set.

No I don't have airraid been eyeing him though right now I do have the FOC shockwave and I'm right now eyeing the BH optimus and a animated Blurr at a rite aid here in town (I guess I'm werid I don't really like getting remolds. there is no challenge in figuring out how to transform them with out the instuctions. and that is one reason I collect and don't keep mine in boxes I like transforming them.) but thanks though. I wich my mom hadn't throw away my G1 swoop I had when I was a kid yea it was old but still I had a G1 rodimus prime and Ultra magnetus that went the same way

I say we get at LEAST 2 more Dinos as deluxe class, which, if they are pretty tall deluxes, would fit really well with FOC Grimlock.

I'm just thinking about when the next reveals are going to be and how far away the T4 movie is.

So far they have revealed toy lines up until early Summer/Fall 2013. I think during SDCC this July there will be more Generations reveals for late fall/spring 2014.

Spring 2014 is a good window before the Movie hits and priority changes, and is a perfect opportunity for some Dinobots.

They are all over the IDW comics. I can't see how they don't make at least 2 more.

Yeah, but Spring 2014 is probably when they'll be releasing the 4th movie's toyline anyway. They'll string it along for 6 months and then move on. Therefore, any Dinobot releases would need to see daylight before or after then.

I think that when it all comes down to it, Grimlock's the star of the show and they couldn't care less for the rest of them.

There are other Dinobots?

I like you Sinnertwin, so I forgive you your blasphemy and ignorance.

But the fact you haven't read Maximum Dinobots must be immediately remedied.
