Snarl has the most angular look of these Dinobots so far, and make of it what you will, his transformation seems alot easier to interpret as far as what goes where in each mode than Sludge. Of course Grimlock's transformation ingame has a bit of cheating for the character building theatricality. We'll just have to wait to see how well that translates to figures, depending on how many we get. If so, wouldn't this account for up to five on the Generations 2013 40 figures? I wonder if that heap of Asia Exclusives counts as part of the 40 too.
Sure they will. These are blocky, uninteresting designs after all! It's not like it's something interesting like Movieverse and Prime designs.
I agree, blocky figures translate over to toys better because there is room to work with instead of character styles like Animated and Prime who need to be sleek and smooth.
Stupid question... ... where did they get the dinosaur alt modes on Cybertron? And thanks for reminding me I need a G1 Swoop to complete my Dinobots, Hasbro.
Not stupid at all. Shockwave is studying other planets using Space Bridge Technology, and finds Earth during it's Prehistoric state. He sees Dinosaurs and admires their power, so he uses 5 Autobots (Demolition team if I'm correct) and reformats them into Dinobots against their will. Probably how Trypticon and Insecticons will be getting their forms too. No comment on the slugs.
At least you still have 4 of your Dinobots. I only have the Robot Heroes of Grimlock and Slag lol. Oh and Masterpiece Grimlock and Classics Grimlock.
GENTLEMEN... What we have here is a race... Who wants my money for a Snarl? iGear, TFC Toys or Hasbro? Whoever gets one out first wins my money. Also, if Hasbro is going to give me an empty promise at Toy Fair 2013 that Snarl is part of the last wave of figures before a new lines makes it's debut then I am not even going to bother because history says that Snarl will never make it to the United States. Why can't they just release the robot dinosaurs and we will be happy. Robots + Dinosaurs = how can they go wrong?
Don't worry mate. *pats on back* I'm sure Hasbro will find a way to make them. I mean they are pretty much the main guys for the game other the Optimus so why not build on the hype and make toys of them? It wouldn't make sense not too.
Grimlock at least has to be made into a toy. He's the most hyped character in the game. -First character shown in the promo trailer -Featured heavily in the first official trailer -Featured in the Gameplay trailer -Aside from Optimus and Megatron, he was one of the first concept art pics we got. If Bruticus is getting a toy, I'm almost 100% sure Grimlock will too. And Hasbro, if you're reading this, I'm sorry but if you don't make the FOC Dinobots into toys, my money will be put towards 3rd Party versions.
*grabby hands* Snarl is my favorite Dinobot and I'm so glad to see him for this game. I'll flip if they make this into a toy. I Absolutely love his Dino mode, but I do admit he needs to be more fats. I'm resisting the urge to go draw him now.
