    If "hybrid style" means slightly updated transformations and articulation, then hell yes.

    If these are just upsized WST dinobots, then hell no.

    After the WST Swoop & Sludge debacle, I'm already worried about the QC issues with these.

    Hybrid style Dinobots huh? Well, I guess those could go well with my G1 shelf... still, going to have to take a 'wait and see' approach on this one as they are likely to be expensive and the WST Sludge & Swoop debacle has me very worried on the QC of these.

    So there going to be about deluxe sized? I really hope these are going to be great. I never liked Classics Grimlock from a couple of years ago and I would like deluxe sized Dinos to be displayed with the Classics/Universe figures.

    In my dictionary, Hybrid Style means "expensive deluxe class".

    I highly doubt they will cost more then 50 or 60 bucks.. Justitoys is the only company that dont rip people off with insain prices like those that make the magnus trailers and armor and stuff. Those other guys are just greedy and go for gold right off the bat with there so called " limited" runs and then they keep releasing them anyways atteh same jacked up prices that not everyone can afford..
    Justitoys releases in quality and quanity with none of that limited run mumbo jumbo (unlles its convention exclusives and such).. They know that the more they release at a fair price that eveyone can afford the more money they will make. Ill pay 50 or 60 for these if they look good and if they are anything like the WST Dinos in quality and detail they will be awesome and it will be well worth it..

    I wish one of these companies would make the Alicon from TFTM. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

    Well, nice, but I doubt I'll spend the money for these.

    Maybe for Swoop.

    I will say I'm very interested to learn more about them, and leave it at that.

    Wow. I can't wait to see more images. Hope they don't take forever to release them all, though.

    the WST Dinorobots are priced the same relatively to a Takara WST as the Magnus Trailer was to a Voyager/Ultra (roughly 3-4X standard retail)

    the Trailer is also a unique piece with tons of engineering and the WST Dinorobots are essentially shrunk down KOs...

    (and JustitToys has made several "limited" runs with jacked up prices as well)

    Awesome. These have potential. I'll wait till I see pictures of them before I make a final decision. I wish Takara was making them though..
