Except that Fast Action Battlers were not replaceing Deluxe figures.
If we still get propperly engineered toys in this line, and these are suppose to be the new FAB line, then fine. If it's not, then much like the Ironman 3 toy line, it's just cheap trash.

When and where was this ever said? And even if that were to happen, I'd only see them doing a few of the main characters like Prime, Bee, and maybe a couple of the new guys.

 

I remember reading about the legend of the different dragons in China. If the movie will have the Dinobots be the inspiration of the legend that'll be cool.  

Also I think Swoop/Strafe would make a good Cutthroat/Windrazor figure.

 

Notice how Swoope has the same crest as Grimlock.

 

We hav not seen Grimlock.

 

Pulling from my butt theory. Blue = water. Dinobot with dino mode assocaiated with water. Sludge. Sludge's type of dino tends to be depicted as being in water a lot.

 

Hound looks kinda like Bulkhead a bit.

 

same crest?

 

Swoop looks pretty cool!

 

i will laugh my ass off if they throw Paddles in there!! LOL Hes been here the whole time.

 

People still think that's Grimlock when it has never been confirmed..

 

Paddels is the combined mode for the dinobots..ha.

 

yes we have.

Anyway on topic: To quote the Hyena's from Lion King: "Man, they are UUUUUUUUGLYYY". And where's Swoop, all I see is Armada Terrorsaur?

 

oh ok, i got you. As for Swoop, that toy's head looks very much like a knights helmet.

 

oh god help us if that were true! Grim alone being part of that "Beast" would surely get them all drowned. His little arms cant paddle lol

 

Oh shit.

Really like Hound.

 

I think it's a fair assumption.

The similarity in helmet design between the two deffinity give some credence to that idea.

 

Yeah I see it. I half wounder if they did this with Swoop's toy just to have the toy be symmetrical? On that note, I hope Swoop uses his wings like arm blades in the movie lol
