Admittely I am not too thrilled with various Grimlocks we've have available on the market. I am wondering if we are going to get the other Dinobots from the WFC line?

I'm not sure which "various Grimlocks" you mean. The only recent versions were MP Grimlock, which was pretty damn sweet, Animated Grimlock, which was cool, and FoC Grimlock, which (IMO) looks really cool. There's no word yet on any other FoC dinobots, but if they are ever made, they will be similar in design and aesthetics to FoC Grimlock.

I would become mighty happy if the other four dinobots had come out in the MP scale and fits with the MP-08 Grimlock.

Yeah, this is what a LOT of fans would like, which means it will probably never happen. Unless it's done by a 3rd party company much like TFC Hercules. That's probably as close as we will get to a MP Devy.

There are other Dinobots? It's always been Grimlock.

If the line sells well. Pray to Primus and hope for the best they "might" get green lit :PRAY:

I hope if they do the rest we at least get most of them in voyager scale.

I really hope to see a FOC Snarl. He may get no love, but In the released art for the game his character design is pretty bad ass!!!!! Better than G1 IMO!!!!

Nothing would make me happier as a Transformer collector than too have an MP Snarl.
Imagine how awesome an MP Swoop would be as well? Then next in line for me would be Sludge.

I'm not a big fan of the FOC Grimmy. I'm stoked it exists and it's out there but i'm not getting it. I hope Hasbro does the full FOC team though. I'd like too see how the rest would turn out.

I find it rather irksome that Hasbro hesitates on making the rest of the team. It's such a no brainer after so much excitement has been generated about their latest game incarnation along with all the attention they've been getting in the comic world as well.

Get on it Hasblow.....jeez.

Hasbro hates the other Dinobots.

I honestly think the best we can hope for is Voyager Sludge and Slag, and Deluxe Swoop and Snarl. and I'd love those! I want more Dinos. Especially Swoop, but ideally all 5. If they were able to make the deluxes about the Generations deluxe size, and the Voyagers the normal, current Voyager size, they'd all be relatively in scale with FOC Grim. I use MP Grimlock in dino mode as my Classics Grimlock, but would be plenty happy with these, because I'll probably end up getting the FOC Grimmy, just because.

But do the other Dinobots sell? The TFWiki says Animated Snarl(SLAG!) was a big pegwarmer in the UK. Don't know how well Swoop did.

It could be that kids today don't want robot dinosaurs for some reason unknown to me. Then again though, I've seen some reviews of V-Tech Switch and Go Dinos:

While I'm not interested in purchasing any of them, I acknowledge the novel idea. but hey, if they sell enough, Hasbro will want to compete or be ready and waiting for them to grow up a tad, and maybe that will push them to make the other Dinbots.

Hasbro hates the Dinobots...really? Well I would have to say if 3 Dino's made it in the Animated line and they were in the FOC game (is this right?) then the chances are better than 50/50 to get figures. The other Dinobots would be deluxe class too I think making Grimlock the biggest. That's the way they did it for the Animated line. Anyway I didn't care very much for that series but I think we might see a couple more prehistoric TF's. :VEHI:

The reason for it being questionable is that Hasbro had to be thoroughly convinced by High Moon to include the Dinobots into the game, otherwise they would have left them out of the game and retired them for good.

And secondly, if you don't have that dino-pack upgrade I think you can only play as Grimlock in the game.

That would kind of crappy though if the reason for no Dinobots is that there isn't much to remold them into.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a Slag/Slug figure, and maybe a Swoop, since both of them had fairly prominent roles in Grimlock's level. Stegosaurus toys are pretty hard to get up to safety standards in the US because of all the pointy bits, which is why we haven't seen many of those.

As usual, Sludge gets no love.

Dude, i love these guys1 A friend of mine's son has one and i play with it whenever I'm over there. Not to mention he loves it too.

I would hope that the FOC line would produce the rest. I also have high hopes that MP will do the rest.
