Dinobots in scout size?

"I say thee, nay!"

Deluxe at least for the rest of the Dinos please?

now Cassetticons, Minibots, heck even combiner limbs, Scout size is fine, but since MP Grimlock is my Classics Grimlock, his Dino-buddies need to at least be mildly in-scale with him.

ADD me to THIS list.

I'd also like to see FP do Some G-1 homages in the voyager size scale. like 1986 Galvatron. 1985 Shockwave. 1989 Deathsauras.

Doing 5 deluxe sized 1986 predacons that can combine to form Predaking would just be awesome.

Agreed. Maybe something like proper arms for ROTF Leader Megatron, or the new jetpack Optimus gets in DOTM.

I'd love to buy a 3rd part super poseable tank turrent arm for ROTF leader sized megatron.

As much as I love Generations Kup, I wouldn't mind a Warbot Veteran that more resembles his G1 Cybertronian mode. In fact, a full line of Cybertronian mode characters would be fantastic. Jazz, Wheeljack, Bumblebee and of course the seekers from More than Meets the Eye. Add Blurr, Arcee and maybe Wheelie to that.

And an all-new Devastator would be spectacular.

One of the guys over at TFW made some pistols for Kup. I can't find the thread right now but I do have pics and the Shapeways order page is here.

These are on the list for my next order from Shapeways.

I think the should make their own robot. Not to be a troll, but I think they've proven themselves in terms of creativity, now it's time to stop doing TF's and set up their own thing. Seriously. It'd be worthwhile.

Why are TFW's custom items never listed here? They seem to have some good stuff.

Why doesn't coke make pepsi?

Well, let's see what they've done so far, in no particular order...

1. the Classics Cliffjumper upgrade.

2. City Commander, the Ultra Magnus armor.

4. Warbot Defender, a Classics 'Srpinger'.

5. Crossfire I, the Classics Superion upgrade.

6. Crossfire II, the Bruticus upgrade.

7. An upgrade for Alternators Prime, a Matrix and gas can/rifle.

8. Protector, the Rodimus Prime armor.

9. The Insecticons are coming out soon.

10. The G3 trailer, Classic Prime's trailer.

Based on this what has gone before, we can hypothesize that FP can do both upgrades, full figures, accessories... the question is more what can't they do.

Funny true story: My friend is a truck driver for a living. He was once kicked out of a Pepsi distribution center while restocking their Coke vending machines because they were giving a tour and didn't want a Coke truck sitting in the building with potential investors roaming around.

I suppose I just didn't realize the competition with TFW extended to fan made customs sold there. *shruggs*

I second that.

I would love to see them do an updated Dinoking or LioKaiser or something. The fact that LioKaiser was a non helper gestault was something I wanted to own....Breastforce.

What about that white Nova Prime that got beschmutzt into Nemesis Prime? There was an amazing custom of that with a really limited run. That needs a mainstream toy bad.

I'd also love the various Cybertron mode Seekers (someone mentioned these earlier). Reminds me of the unmade Hasbro version of the flying Bumblebee spaceship seen in the first cartoon. Would pay good money for all those. The Dinobots in their tank forms would be fantastic as well. (The Titanium Grimlock fell just short of my expectations... a little clunky, and only looked good from one angle.)

Also, un-loved Wreckers.

Cassettes. Can't go wrong with more and better cassettes. I was sorely disappointed Hasbro didn't put more out after Ravage. Loved that Hound set.

Well, PE has the Cassettes covered so far.

Hmm, Topspin and Twin Twist?

Well, I DO like the PE robot modes, but I really want the characters AS cassettes (like the new version of Ravage.)... just better, more poseable and accurate versions. With ball joints these days, Laserbeak could fold wings, rotate head, grip a clip(?), etc.

If I can't cram them into Soundwave or Blaster's chest (including the new Music Label Blaster and Sonicron)... :sad:

I have to agree. I have PE's Ultimate Form, but to me those guys just aren't Eject, Rewind, Sundor, or Garboyl. They're generic Autobots that pal around with Ultra Magnus.

The only exception I have to this arethe Rumble/Frenzy earphones that went with Label Soundwave. They work with a Soundwave AND they turn into walkman accessories so they fit just as well as tapes.

Dinobots.
I'm salivating just thinking about it.

by **Motorthing** » Wed May 25, 2011 10:33 am

Had a thought:

A Voyager + sized Motormaster type that came as a Crossfire kit with all the add-ons necessary to take any of the current deluxe-sized Classics cars (or Scout sized if you are going to be a purist and insist on Decepticars only...) and make a Not-Menasor in the same vein as Not-Bruticus/Colossus.

The recent PCCs just don't come close to cutting it and I'm tired of Menny not getting any upgrade love.
