Dynamic Infiltration of Non-Biological Operations
One-of-a-kind Custom by GetRightRobot
Greetings Transformers fans. Here is my first annual Box Set. An alternative to "conventional" box sets. This five figure custom set is packed full of Dinobot awesomeness! I've put together a video below that has size comparisons, articulation demonstrations and more PLEASE view the video for additional information
This set comes in a convention styled, telescopic box that is 20"x10"x5" and features original artwork. The box is extremely sturdy and has 4 1/2" soft foam cut to hold each figure. Included in the box are all five Dinobots, Swoop, Snarl, Slag, Sludge and Grimlock in their short lived Earth modes. A comic strip (also original artwork) included with this set tells the story of why the Dinobots adopted Earth modes to begin with. Each figure is painstakingly painted and comes with guns/missile launchers and swords! There is a signed Certificate from GetRightRobot guaranteeing this is a unique set and is the only one of it's kind. Lastly this set includes a DVD packed with original digital content.

I love Shattered Glass, I really do but if they made something like this, I would walk to the convention (I live in South Korea) just to pick it up. If they made this the box set people would finally stop treating the 2007 box set like it was a gift from the gods (it wasn't btw).

I don't know much about the Crossover line. Perhaps it was a remould but I used the Ironman crossover Humvee. A great figure really.

Pity, They're really good figures, if only hasbro treated us with a Swindle, Impactor, Ironhide and Soundwave repaint/remold of him

Thanks man. I currently have them displayed on my classics shelf, they really... fit. I just wish I had a complete TFC Hercules already to take some photo's together. It will be an epic pairing.

Yeah, I'm not a DJ, but I get sick of youtube muting my videos, so I attempted to mix a track in Fruity loops. If music is your thing, maybe you can hook me up with an original mix for background music ?

The sludge mold looks great.I know Grapple or Inferno was used as the base figure but I cannot figure out what was used for his chest.

It's just the normal torso turned backwards; the cab front is on the back instead of the front. Pretty ingeniously simple, if you ask me.

Haha! Yes it is a Grapple turned around backwards. His hands cut free of each arm and reattached to the other. The chest is the chest of Cybertron Blaster, with a half inch removed from the center and hollowed inside in order to lay flush in vehicle mode. Also, the new "bicep" area had to be chiseled to make enough clearance for the new chest piece.
