    This is a very odd conversation going on here.

    Same. I could probably make it fit in the budget at full size but space is *gone.*

    Legends would solve both problems.

    Would we consider this the best point at the life project?

    Anticipation of the first prototype?

    Mein Got. Those look amazing. I love their Predaking, in my opinion should have been named Predagod, and I love the look on these guys. Till I zoomed in, didn\'t really like Sludge, thought the neck and tail were going to be his arms, then I saw his real arms. I like the halo that Snarl\'s tail is making and Grimlock is a complete war machine in that illustration. It looks like they\'re going to do it like Predaking and split the torso into two bots? I\'m down with that. Hopefully the finished bots are going to at least be close to those illustrations.

    Easy pass. They look good but they don’t fit in my collection at all.

    I like the way these look overall, and can't wait to see the combined mode whenever that happens. While not being pedantic, I do think there should be at least a slight variation between robot mode legs and beast mode. I honestly don't care if they have clawed feet on both modes, but on a couple of these, it looks like the legs are completely unchanged. I realize, these are just sketches so the actual product will most likely differ somewhat. However having basically the bottom half of the transformer unchanged in both modes seems just a bit lazy to me. Just looking for a little differentiation between the two. Excited to see some renderings or prototypes hopefully soon.

    After looking a bit closer, it looks like the their take on grimlock is really the worst offender. The legs look identical in both sketches. Not necessarily a deal breaker for me, but hopefully they will make the robot mode legs look more humanoid. Sorry if it was mentioned previously, but I assume these are also masterpiece size like their predacons?

    That is definitely a problem I am having with Transformers lately. There is all this cool stuff coming out but now I am at a point where the price isn't the issue, but space is.

    Yeah. There are some really cool 3P pieces coming out but I'm going to have to start curating the collection and rotating what's displayed if I want to buy any of it

    I'm hoping they show the combined mode first instead of very late

    I'm wondering who they'll release first. For Dinobots, Grimlock seems like the go-to, but assuming he's part of the torso, torso components tend to be last for combiners.

    If we're not going to get combiner projections early, I hope the renders and such come soon for Grimlock. I'm fascinated since by how off-script they all are but Grimmy caught my eye. At a glance he seems simple (all the "stuff" on his back aside), whatever is actually going to go on, he keeps the tail and basically repostures most major sections. I get the calls it's kinda lazy, but I really dig it when the character's animalistic in nature. Like he does the bare minimum to stop going full savage for a minute.

    I think one of the arms. Perhaps Slag or Swoop. But I think that won't happen for quite some time. Like I said before, second half 2022.

    The designs look cool as hell, and I'm sure this set will look amazing in hand, but this looks nothing like the source material. At all. So it's a pass, unfortunately.

    Goddamn, these look awesome. Like they threw the G1 Dinobots, Gundam, and Zoids in a blender. Loving it. Wish we had more TF designs in this anime aesthetic.

    I like it, I'm in.
    If you want more G1 Dinobots we are already covered by Gigapower and Fanstoys. Those are great. Cangtoys already made some pretty large departures with their Predacons so this isn't too surprising to me.

    swoop=back and wings(holds scorn and grimlock together)
    slash=head
    sludge=left arm
    paddles=right arm
    slag=right leg
    Snarl=left leg

    I gotta say these would look pretty awesome in a getter robo display as mechasaurus. I think that might be how I display them
