    Have they only released the two? I haven't seen any new information, and when I searched the forums nothing came up.

    Anyone own any? I was thinking of getting these and Hulkie for my work desk.

    So far only the two. Bumper and Quaker (Slag and Sludge). My brother has them and he loves them. I have mine on order from TCP, but they haven't gotten them yet. Some other places have them like BBTS and TFSource.

    I'm wondering if they will get the KO treatment like Hulkie? i went with the KO since its a third of the price and reviews have been good.

    I got mine in yesterday and I really like them. They're a lot bigger than I expected (about small deluxe height) and very solidly constructed. They're a good buy at $36 a piece.

    Ditto.

    There are color photos of at least one other out there, if not the whole set.

    I'm actually hoping DX9 (or anybody tbh) decides to release a set of MP dinobots using this toon coloration (specifically no chrome). That would finally get me to go in on MP dinobots :)  Probably easiest for DX9 since they have these molds and engineering figured out, though would expect a but more articulation and maybe a little more detail for larger scale.

    I believe Their Grimlock/Rager is the only one we have not seen photos of. They all look great to me. I have Swoop/Skyer on preorder also.

    C'mon! Gotta have a little chrome. OS warbotron Grimmy is very lonely.

    Nah, there are like half a dozen toy referenced designs with chrome. One toon set without it would be nice. In fact the idea generated quite a bit of interest when it was proposed a little while back.

    Slag actually has a not insignificant amount of chrome in both modes. I know what you mean, though, and the yellow looks way better in person than I expected. I wanted the figures to be more toy-accurate, but what we got instead still looks really great.

    Yeah i forgot they did include some chrome on these, good catch. Mine aren't in hand yet unfortunately.
    I'd love to see someone pull off an appealing chromeless design based on toon colors.

    While I'd definately be in for DX9 MP Dinos, one thing that would definately be argued to death in forum would be Sludges transformation not being "G1" or "cartoon accurate" if they were ever up sized to MP scale.
    But I think they look great and DX9s quality and build have always been consistently high. That no matter how they redesign the transformation, it wouldn't bother me since the end result looks so close to the character that it usually works !!!

    Does anyone have pictures of them next to maybe Titans Return figures? I'm curious about the overall scale of the War in Pocket line.

    Huh, I thought the DX9 Dinobots were bigger, but looking at Slag next to the TR Sharkticon I think they a little smaller than I imagined.
    Not a compliant, looking at them next to IF guys they seemed almost too big.

    ...they feel bigger than they are, due to spot-on G1 proportions and detailing...
