    I hope we do get the other FOC Dinobots and Insecticons. Sludge would need to be a Voyager to really be done right, but he hasn't had an update since G1. Dinobots have always done at least OK at retail. I only saw the Energon Dino set once, same with the Beast era Dinobot line. And the Animated Dinobots didn't overstay their welcome either.

    Nope, read what you said perfectly fine. You implied that Hasbro is giving up on deluxes(which there is literally *no* evidence of) because stores are clogged with old product. Then you implied that Hasbro can't figure out why product is sitting around.......err.......in fact you completely failed to supply some real reason for this, other than 'Go buy those bumblebees!'

    If you don't like rebuttals, think your arguments through better.

    Works for me. Since IIRC the final level in the Dinobots segment of the game was freeing Snarl from his holding field, and Sludge just didn't make it, you've really only got Swoop and Slug as active characters who help Grimlock along the way. Personally I doubt we'll see any of the other apart from Grimmy, so I've already picked up the Animated versions of the other two in an attempt to FOC-ify them.

    The whole thing about 'parents will only buy one', 'they don't combine', etc things are rendered moot when we're considering five giant robotic fire-breathing space dinosaurs. This is The Rule of Cool to the max here. Plus, we haven't gotten all 5 original Dinobots in one toyline since G1. Us fans are starved for this to happen, and the kids will be thrilled to see these things on the shelves.

    This NEEDS to happen, whether or not it will.

    Spoilers! D:

    They said they would be "harder to do."

    Honestly if Hasbro even makes other Dinobots I'm not even sure if I'll like them. The toys are so damn small now that they won't even look right next to my other stuff. And there's no chance in hell we're going to get the other four in voyager size.

    I have no faith that Hasbro will release the full team so I'll put my hope in a 3rd party company to do it. That's fine with me as well...if official versions turned out half as shitty as the Animated Dinobots I wouldn't want them anyway.

    I'd most likely buy the whole set if they were released. Grimlock from FOC is near the top of my want list for things that are coming out in the future.

    I'm pretty sure I read that Grimlock will be released in 2013.

    actually a much easier set of redecos would be the Dinoforce from Victory
    Grimlock=Goryu
    Slag ( i refuse to call him Slug)= Kakuryu
    Swoop=Yokuryu
    Sludge=Rairyu
    Snarl=Doryu

    and there was news a awhile back about Hasbro renewing the Trademark for the name Doomlock, a sword wielding dinosaur charactor from Energon, so chances are that Grimlock, a sword wielding dinosaur charactor, may be getting a redeco already

    and its possible that Funpub may get a wild hair up thier ass and drop some g2 colours on the dinobots.

    RK has them coming out in Feb, but I've also heard January. If Grimlock is as good as he looks, I could imagine the other 4 looking just as good. C'mon Hasbro, I dare you to take back your market share from the 3ps!
