    I love this picture so hard, it's been my FB cover photo for a long time now.

    my only criticism is that as something that is supposed to represent the internet there's a decided lack of boobs... which I'm pretty sure is a good 10% of all net traffic.

    And yes, for some reason people hate that people like something that they don't like. And then often feel the need to express it in an unnecesarily offensive way... Instead of just saying "glad you like it, but it doesn't work for me".

    I'm not sure if there's a single toy thread without someone slamming a toy with overly harsh language then crying about "white knighting" or "nuthugging" when they get an equally harsh response back.

    You forgot the trainers that came with the Glacialbots. More not-Nebulans.

    Reasons:

    1. People like the sidekick gimmick.
    2. It helps establish their toys as unique from Hasbro's characters, and from all the competition.

    How many threads do we need, if these are released in a row?

    Looks like the preorder price is a lot more reasonable. I'm still kinda second-guessing myself since I got a closer look at those legs; they're pretty iffy when you look at them from the side.

    7.5 is about tall Voyager to medium Ultra class. It's the height of Hegemon.

    Somoehow I hate the term 'white knighting' more than 'man up'. Which is a lot! So dumb.

    People say "white knighting" when one person likes a toy they don't like.

    I think the dino feet are comically large and very unlike a real sauropod's, and are pushing it even for Sludge's G1 look. He had LONG feet, not WIDE feet.

    It happens man. I'll be honest in saying the bickering one way or another can really bring me down. Takes a lot of fun out of it.

    BUT, there's a good chuck of fun members to discuss things with here. Gotta weed through it all sometimes.

    Someone else had said a few months ago that Liokaiser was next. If it is... hey! More little (animal) dudes.

    This. Unless something changed.

    Speaking for myself, I just LOVE Transformers with little partners. I've loved them since 1987 when the first Headmasters and Targetmasters came out. I fell back in love with them when Armada came out. I would likely never have bought Revolver and co. if they didn't have the little dudes.

    Function X is my favorite 3P series.

    The little dudes that come with the Dinobots here pushed me over the edge of thinking about buying them to preordering without hesitation.

    :eek:  I'm no genius at math but, it seems like this guy will be stock Hegemon size (no boot upgrade). So he's shorter than Orion as well. These dinobots will probably look great next to the maketoys giant though.

    Honestly, I wasn't that impressed with Planet X's Caelus, so the fact that FP is making these, and that they look awesome, means that they're now my Classics Dinobots go-to.

    Can NOT wait. The only way these could get any better is if they all combined.

    I have some great Dinobots already in my collection. I'm casually interested in these, but that price is for die-hards only.

    I told myself that Fans Toys would be the only dinos for me. Now I will be owning two sets of dinos.
