    Also I’m wondering if FP is going to release a Dynobot repaint/retool with every new release to try and get some use out of the mold. I can see this being used as a Dynobot Sludge.

    @QuintusTheExaltedOne that's a neat idea! I always thought FP could have done more fun repaints, and doing a series of generations-sized WW Dinos would be a really unique way to do it. If they really wanted to they could probably do a little rework of Revolver as Slag or Snarl.

    As a fan of IF's Asura Knights and all altmodes Cybertronian; I'd be interested in seeing their offerings for a full FP set of CyberDinos but doubt I'd be interested in anything more than this FP Severo-Grimmy. I'm really interested in what a full pic of his truck mode looks like.

    I’m curious to hear the answer to this, as well. I bought all of these HA scouts loose and I think only one of them came with the driver. By the time I thought of putting the FP Solerons in the HA vehicles I totally lost track of the human figure so I was never able to try it out.

    Why do people have to like or dislike things as a group? Pretty weird.

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Personally I wish this was in line with the FPJ Warbot/Parallax stylings of past but it's what it is; looks alright and like some others said above I'm looking forward to see how it transfers to plastic form.

    I think Revolver (Roadbuster) works better for Sludge. Kastore for Snarl, maybe?

    I really want to like this, but it needs some serious work before they release it. Ignoring the colors, my biggest gripes are the block sitting on his shoulders and the face. That block along with having his shoulders sit so high makes him almost look hunchbacked. The face is just weird and needs to be tweaked a little to resemble the comic more.

    Interesting.

    Agreeing that it does need some work before release though, but its on the 'keep an eye on this' list for sure

    I only invested in Steel core in the warbot line, but correct me if I'm wrong... I feel like this just is more of an issue that it doesn't really seem like if fits in with the aesthetic of that line?

    I mean there are some preferences I have that make for some glaring design aspects I don't like on this figure. But if I were to just look past my own preferences and look at the line in general, I would say one of the most outstanding characteristics of this line as a whole (other than the core gimmick) was the bulkiness of the figures in all the right places (specifically in the feet and legs) and the extra details in all of the external facing parts (for example the kneecaps, forearm panels etc.)

    I guess with the exception of springer (which I think I give a thumbs up to simply because that was the first real full sized figure of what we know of third party today) I think this whole line has kept a very distinct attention to evolving it's figures with this very specific asthetic and feel to the look.

    Impressive attempt, but they're definitely going to have to fix that hunchback look.

    Rollermodo? Or is it QuasiRoller? This is even sadder than FT's renders.

    I would never have known that was Roller. That face sculpt, the hunch, the tiny feet, the colors, he\'s not the prettiest bot.

    YES! NEW FP ERA! :D 
    Okay, okay. I'm hoping they change the face. (please don't do the "lips", FP has never done them well).

    If they're going all out on Roller, they should do the best to match the colors and face. Maybe ask MMC's Reformations designer to help?

    If this is leaning into Warbot the colors are fine for a generic "not really anyone", and just use a face plate. Save Roller for an easy convention exclusive?

    As for the rest of the body, thighs and arms should be more angular to get that Milne flavor. His arms proper hang to low from the tires and I'm not crazy about all that meat around his head. If it can't go anywhere it's all the more reason to lean Warbot.

    Hope this project turns out well. I really like the way IDW tackled roller and I was worried that nobody would tackle this version of the character
