Thanks to TFW2005 boards member dalianjj, we’ve just received our very first colored prototype images of Fans Toys’ upcoming release: Sever! This representation of a “Masterpiece” Snarl will be the third release by the third party group in their Iron Dibots toy line. Fans Toys first Dibots release of Scoria (“Slag”) came earlier this year, while the next release of Soar (“Swoop”) is set to ship to retailers later this month, arriving on many collector’s doorsteps in early January.
Make the jump to see Sever in its full color and let your feedback and reactions be heard!

My dilemma is whether or not to keep the GP versions as well. Having 4 variations I know is overkill, but I have always been fascinated with dinosaurs since I was a kid so the dinobots were a must have for me. If I had to sell off two then for sure I would see off the GP versions first and keep my FT. Obviously if FT had made their versions a bit bigger GP would have never tried to copy them since FT is hands down better in quality compared to GP.
Pardon the headless dinobot photo. LOFL!!! I was toying with Sever's head and with some elmer's tack it looks pretty cool on the GP version. Yea, a bit small, but who cares. Dinobots never had big brains! LOFL! ! .

They came with FT-08G, G2 Grinder, the blue space bozo actually. Since they didn't make a G2 Stomp, sadly.

Those filler pieces came with stomp, and fantoys didn't release a g2 stomp. Unless you're looking for the normal release bonus fillers and going to paint them.

Sadly, I'm still looking for the red chest fillers for FT-06G Sever. Someone's got to have them sitting in a bin somewhere. Hah.

It's good but not for me much prefer the original bots with out the combining.
Hot Shot.
"We" as in me and the person BIOMEC was replying to. Chill out.
If I'm going to drop hundreds of dollars on a set of dinos I'd rather they resembled designs I'm familiar with and weren't compromised for a combiner I've never liked the idea of.

Don't you want cool transforming dinosaurs?

Not even close to what "you" want. I agree it's not G1, but a lot of people are happy with Cang Toys Predaking.
Hot Shot.
Not even close to what we want.

I went Giga. Much more intimidating, especially Grimlock in Robot mode. In my opinion, Grinder's mold looks a bit dated.

CangToys is making Volcanicus

Wow, that's crazy! It actually looks like the gold chrome is fading into silver chrome in the picture. Thank you for showing us. The only change I've noticed over the years in my masterpiece dinobots is that the blades for the swords of the Fans Toys dinobots seem to have faded somewhat from red to a lighter pink. The dark red of the blades on the swords of the Gigapower dinobots make it seem more obvious by contrast.

Didn’t see this but I may not have used the proper textbook definition for whatever is happening here, I apologize for not knowing what this is commonly called. I can tell you two things though, 1. The figure was never subjected to direct sunlight, and 2. I sold it on eBay after this post for more than my discounted price from the post, so it really doesn’t matter regardless.

I still can't decide which is better: FT or GP.
Barebot
I'd better get my preorders in quickly!

It will end where it all started.

I'm confident that after the Constructicon wars, FT + XTB + MMC and who knows who else will start the Dinobot wars. Circa 2026 or so.
