On a side note, Firefox shows that Apatosaurus is a spelling mistake and should be Brontosaurus, lol. Someone needs to brush up on their dino names
Also, I wish they called the Triceratops Slag, not Slog. I'm British and I know what that word normally means in my country but I can over look it to have my Transformers with their correct names.

If they get these five right, that'll massively counterbalance the bad shit that's been going on the last few months.

Back, and to the right (in Beast Mode).

Can't wait to see Snarl and a group shot. Might be pretty cool if the finally introduce actual combination into the Dinobots this time around seeing as how Shockwave is the one who re-built them and how obsessed his WFC/EXO/EXI/FOC character is with combination.

Just kidding, this is almost as, if not just as epic as, when they revealed Bruticus! I WANT TOYS OF THESE NOW!

Come on Hasbro, new Dinobot toys would be a guaranteed jackpot!

I love these designs. My favorite incarnation of the Dinobots to date. A mix of voyagers and deluxes would be so freaking epic...

How do you think they'll divide the classes up? Personally;Grimlock and Sludge as Voyagers;Snarl,Swoop,Slag as deluxes. And if they go with a combiner thing then go G1 combiner styled and have Grimlock a Voyager and the rest deluxes. But hey I'm just dreaming here.

Those scales are my picks exactly. Honestly, I don't want them to combine. This combining Dinobot thing does work for me. Besides, it would be WAY less hideous if the design team could focus on just making individual robots. I don't care to see another toy version of a FOC combiner, ever.

Sadly, this is so true. PLEASE GIVE US THESE IN PLASTIC THAT ARE WAY BETTER THAN THE COMBATICONS. It wouldn't be hard to beat them!

And have them screwed up like Bruticus? Or PCC? Please no.

I think they'd be the whole cake.
Posted by Trikeboy on April 13th, 2012 @ 6:25am CDT
Voyager
Grimlock
Sludge
Deluxe
Swoop
Snarl
Slag
No combination mode too. However, what is obvious to us seems to not be obvious to Hasbro and we will most likely get them in the new tiny Deluxe scale that is becoming the norm. Also, the most obvious to us is all 5 Dinobots. Going by past examples we will probably only get one

I don't really either. but I still wanted to know what went on in the story of WFC. So, what I did was, instead of playing the game myself, I watched a complete walkthrough of the story mode gameplay on YouTube, in which I got the full feel the game's plot, characters, levels, and events; all without having to play it on my own (I probably wouldn't have been any good at it anyway, since I'm beyond terrible at shooter games ).Rated X wrote:I dont do video games.

You mean Ultra class? That would look cool but I think they would be far to big.

Yeah, you're right. Voyager class FOC Dinobots would look rather perfect next to TFC Hercules! That should make for some intriguing diorama *crosses fingers for a release* C'mon Hasbro, design a Lightning Strike Coalition!!
Posted by Sabrblade on April 13th, 2012 @ 11:01am CDT
Thing is, like I said, Hasbro is strict about making all Generations figures be Deluxe class only. Remember how we felt that Onslaught would have worked better as a Voyager to make a better proportioned Bruticus? Well, look what size he is.VectaSigma wrote:Trikeboy wrote:VectaSigma wrote:For scale purposes, am I the only one that finds the best size for Grimlock and Sludge to be one size larger than voyager class?

I know, it's like I posted earlier:

To all of the fans, a voyager sized Onslaught makes sense, Hasbro just don't seem so see it.
Edit for the Snarl reveal:
Dude I think I just filled the cup. Snarl looks amazing. He is the only Dinobot I had as a kid and I love this. I want a Snarl toy more than ever now.

Maybe they will, but I really wouldn't hold my breath to wait that. There is a really small change that they will come in 2013 like the voyager class Starscream/seekers, but so far we haven't seen any pictures or got any info. Or have I missed something important? So isn't it a bit early to debate what size they might be (or will be, as some suggets). Don't you think
It's pure speculation right now. It's what we want to see from Hasbro. I think Grimlock was confirmed, the other 4, nothing so far.

I second that. i.e. Take a look at the FOC Slag..his conversion from Triceratops to robot form in particular. There is virtually no feasible approach in designing him. Unless you have a crapload of snap-on/snap-off pieces like the ever-classic G1 Omega Supreme figure. And how humble of you to say, Get Right..honestly, no future dinobot could live up to your masterpiece custom work.
Posted by Tigertrack on April 13th, 2012 @ 12:01pm CDT
Just a couple of updates/tweaks to both.
I'd love a toy of this. Sad that it is more likely there will not be a toy, as that there will.

I don't know about that. There are some really talented designers out there. Hasbro/Takara/3rd Party/Customizers. I don't think I've made the end all of Dinobots, but I really appreciate you saying so.
I just can't see how these can be translated into great toys. These game designs are what I've imagined for a long time. I love them!

3) Slag
4) Swoop
5) Sludge

Voyager sized 3rd-party versions would cost about $100 each. Maybe that's OK for you, but a lot of us can't afford that. I'd rather have Hasbro Deluxes for $12/each.

However, has anyone else noticed that while the facebook page names Sludge and Swoop, they don't specifically name Snarl and Slag. I wonder if there will be a name change there considering the word Slag is frowned upon in some places.

mmhmm, and it is a stupid name change. I'm Scottish and I don't mind him being called Slag. I can see a problem getting it localised in the uk without it though. I'll call him Slag no matter what they call him.

Depends on where you shop. If you only shop at BigBadToyStore then yes it would cost that much. I shop at Robotkingdom and they are a lot cheaper. I got the Herc components shipped for less than BBTS were offering before shipping. However, I do take the point that they would be more expensive. I would pay for them though.
