No pretty sure he meant this tie:  

 

x,d,g version of grinder will all be produced. the pictures will be showed soon.

 

Will they all come with the new T-Rex head?

(Any news on Caesium????)  

 

No need for blue underpants for me!

 

I'd guess it's FT Perceptor   or maybe FT Reflector, or the bugs?

@dalianjj I know you guys are NOT doing repaints, but is it still possible to make it as per order only?
Tho yeah understandbly it's way more complicated to handle, just throwing it out there

 

Dalianjj just confirmed there will be a D, though i really dont understand why, only difference is the shorts being blue instead of red, and nothing else, well, except crystal sword too...

 

Any updates on a estimate of when they will be released? Q2, Q3, or Q4?

 

A bit if a random detour but I had a thought the other day. Could you imagine if FT's Cyclonus looked as good as their Galvatron but handled and was built like their Stomp and Grinder..I seriously think it would be figure of which ever year it would be released in, automatically!

 

Well, looking at that image of the diaclone toy, the shade of gold chrome seems lighter and similar to Scoria's gold shading, so they could also make that change.

Now, question for the more knowledgeable ones here, what colouration was diaclone Sludge? Blue or red?




If it really is red, then there is no need for a diaclone version of Stomp, but definitely would be nice to have a crystal chromed sword option for those that want to use regular Stomp for their diaclone dibot set.

 

The diaclone Brontosaurus is colored red, unfortunately. The blue torso was just concept art. There is only a Prehistory Animals variant of Prontosaurus (!) Sludge that is colored blue (instead of yellow or red). It looks really good. They should have used that scheme.

Edit: Here's a pic of the robot mode. Sorry, but I really don't remember where I found it.

 

the crystal-chrome weapon would be nice, or make it as accurate as the G1/original toys

 

Shit, I'm still laughing at this  . I'd give it more thumbs up if I could.

 

The thing with fanstoys is that it is a company that communicates actively with the community to cater and please the fans hence their name.

I for one really love every iron dinobots they released.

I dont know of any other manufacturer who really does its best to please the customers.

Its impressive really

 

I couldn't have said it better. Unlike FT, Badcube flat out refuses to offer/sell spare parts or accessories.

 

A lot of 3P companies actually do that. GigaPower, for example, took a lot of feedback from the forums to heart, and made changes accordingly. If you look at the changes made between the early prototypes and the final product, it's quite evident.

 

Aaaaaand this is what I was talking about it. Just look at those big blue eyes, he looks awesome. My first proper paint job with the whole painting/sanding shebang. Tamiya brilliant blue for anyone wondering, it just oozes so much personality! I wish all FT bots would come with this shade of blue as opposed to the shiny stuff they come with;

 

Nice job. Looks good. I still prefer the chromed blue that come on a lot of figures, but yours looks good too. I could see that visor on a Grimlock with yellow plastic instead of gold chrome for the ultimate toon look.

 

Very nice paint job!

 

Thanks.

Party pooper, no cake for you!   

I can see where you're coming from as it looks to be toon accurate but I prefer it as it creates some semblance with what TT has done and are doing.

Thanks, man!

Damn, I can't put this figure down. I've transformed him at least 10 times since he's been here, he's such a fun figure to transform. I still have issues with his robot mode proportions and dinohead but, damn, is he such a fun figure. I would put him right up there with MP-22 in terms of fun and handling. There was one thing Yeled said the other day and I laughed because I was just about to type the very same thing. In terms of fun this guy is probably on par with Stomp but because his transformation is simpler it kind of gives this illusion he is better made. Awesome figure can't wait for the dino head.

I can't believe they're saying FT-10 is even more fun, I have a feeling I'll be reduced to pew, pew, pewing and swooshing all day long.

 

I didn't mean it to sound as negative as it did. It does look really good.
