    I dont think the legs will fold up inside ever...its more like the tail is there. thats why Sludge was so "hard" to make it works like in the cartoon.

    for me its the same, leg inside or not, this bozo looks TERRIFIC!!!! FT ROCKS :)

    Second that. I would be really happy if we got this by the end of the year.

    It's not impossible - for the record, Sever was fist posted here at end of May 2014 and should be released June 2015, Soar was posted April 2014 and released December 2014. I guess this will depend on complexity and hopefully not have any redesign delays.

    SOMETHING about the Dino-head is annoying me, but everytime I compare it to the lineart, I can't spot anything actually wrong. Weird.

    I adore the hell out of everything else, though!

    Looks great. It'll be a long 16 months until it's in hand. Glad to see the head is done well.

    The tail while long is very thin, I think you can see the outline of the panel that allows the dino legs to fold up inside.

    I'm looking forward to hearing Dinobot_Sludge's take on this...

    Looks promising from my viewpoint

    This is a great first look! So happy to see FT moving forward, with little to no concern for Giga (blurr what you need to Dailianjj), but thanks for the reveal. Stomp looks fabulous...he's basically spot on and that robot face sculpt looks sinister, he doesn't look as doltish as he did in the cartoon, he actually looks angry and surly, which is awesome but it nails the G1 aesthetic, so there's definitely an improvement from Sever.

    Only thing that seems a little off is the dino head and I can see what's throwing it off a bit at least IMHO. It's too smooth at the edges. All of the other dino heads have sharp corners where you change direction, Stomp's just kind of taper over the snout and on the sides of the jaw. The lower jaw should be rectangular instead of have that contour. (i.e. you take Sever's dino head and elongate the snout)

    Other than that, the only change would be at the top of the neck/ base of the head would be to add almost a "flipped up" collar on the back that cuts below the circle on the jaw line. It will smooth out the neck to head transition and won't impede articulation.

    Hopefully one of the digibashers extraordinare can mock-up what I mean.......I'd love to see it.

    The legs folding in isn't necessary per se on Stomp. In the G1 cartoon, they were drawn partially recessed on the outside. It's only in the lazy lapses of animation were they removed altogether, but technically FT got it exactly right again!! If they can fully recess, well that just fully seals the deals, on how badass Stomp and FT really are!

    Either way, this is an easy purchase, it looks good in grey proto, colour is just going to make it awesome!!! Very excited!! FT FTW!

    Yep, figured that when I saw it and months ago when they said Sludge was difficult to do. But it looks great all the same, was hoping they might be able to work some toy voodoo
