    I am getting the full FT set for my MP shelf, but I also REALLY want CHUG Dinos. My personal ideal CHUG Dinos would NOT be FOC (just not a fan of the aesthetic), but more just modernized versions of the G1 designs like IDW. They would also be around MP-08 scale or slightly smaller, and if I get to be really picky they'd be made with an emphasis on styling, durability, and fun transformations, like the Feral Cons. You know what, MMC, if you could just give us CHUG Dinos that'd be greeeaat.

    I'm definitely going with FT for Slag, Swoop and Snarl

    Grimlock depends on how FTs Grimlock looks and if a new MP Grimlock is announced, depending on these factors I might end up sticking with my MP08 ^^

    I'm honestly planning on getting GP Sludge, as I like him to be bigger than the other dinos and thus, GPs larger scale/size works to mutual advantage^^

    A CHUG set of dinobots and Masterpiece set for me....

    but the Masterpiece are becoming my CHUG set.

    SO, unless someone can beat the masterpiece set to the punch in coming out which seems highly unlikely.... I may not pick them up. Would have enjoyed the CHUG as there would be an excuse for paddles and multiple other dinobots aside from the original 5 out of it but oh well their loss in money.

    I do not count War'O'Cybertron/Fall'O'Cybertron as CHUG. Almost every toy from this series has been a hollow and kinda if not completely crappy. Creating 3P solutions to display next to those Hasbro toys is like putting statues next to polished turds. Consequently its been very hard to get excited about the announcement of WFC Dinobots that don't fit the aesthetic... or scale... of the rest of the CHUG on display.

    I would love some g1/ masterpiece figs, but the foc ones are fine with me for now. I wouldnt mind a new g1 style head and swords with clear blades for foc swoop though.

    Id buy animated ones as well

    Actually forget CHUG Dinos, Masterpiece Dinobots scaled to fit with MP Grimlock works beter for my TW Orion scale.

    I went with Animated, Generations, cassettes, Star Q, and other.

    Animated if someone can make them just as unique as the official ones.

    Generations if someone is really willing to take some liberties to make something interesting.

    I've been wanting good versions of the dino cassette combiners for awhile. So far that has yet to happen. The KFC one looks terrible.

    Star Q isn't actually a third party product. Even if they do that Dinobot version. This is one I'm actually already getting. I currently have the regular one preordered.

    As for other. While the FoC Dinobots are ok, I'm actually a little more fond of the Prime styled versions. I think the Prime stylization gives them more personality.

    CHUG and FOC for me. I love the FOC designs, but I would also like a better Grimlock (hell all the Dinobots) for my CHUG display

    I think it'll just be Planet X's FoC Dinos for me. As much as I want MP Dinos to hang out with MP Grimlock, Giga's sound like they'll be too big for my liking, and there's something I can't quite put my finger on that keeps me from liking FT's efforts. I was all in on Scoria when I saw the uncolored prototype, but with every picture that shows it in color, I lose a little more enthusiasm. Soar just does absolutely nothing for me. The crazy part is that I don't know what they could change to make/keep me interested... I'm just weird.

    MY collection is limited to a few original G1 figs and then MP scale. I love what I'm seeing from FT so far, so already bought in on Not-Swoop. Just waiting for the option to pre-order toy-painted Scoria.
