    For me, just make better, improved MP versions of the Studio Series Dinobots, they are almost what I'm looking for, but with high gloss sliver and gold paint, for those parts and dull silver for most of the bodies.

    Then do a chrome and clear toy versions. But then again, if I can't afford any of the many 3rd party MP's, there's no way I'm gonna afford these.:(  I can barely afford the SS Dinobots as they are.:confused:

    Yes please! I'd like to see the sculpts a bit cleaner than FT Dinos but maybe not quite as 'smooth' as NA Ymir? Doesn't have to be the exact same colors as Ymir, either...basically 'more toon' than FT/Giga but 'NOT full toon' would be great.

    Yes. I only started collecting about 3yrs ago and purposely haven't bought the Gigapower or FTs waiting for something more toon centric. I'm not a fan of the gold and chrome toy look.

    Yes. FansToys Dinobots are great, but stick out like a sore thumb against Sunbow-style MPs, and it’s the only reason I don’t have Dinobots yet.

    It depends on the frame you pause at. Their models can be a hit or miss. They just need to base it on the best-looking one.

    So something like SS86 Grimlock. That's both accurate and inaccurate at the same time. But it is a very good looking figure in robot mode.

    Nope. Not a chance.

    Those G1 dibot models are fairly bad. Their colors are the worst part to me followed closely by proportions.

    Updated Dibots with better articulation and builds though? That'd be hard to pass up. GP should do a 2.0 :p

    When you say "DiBots" do you mean the G1 Dinobot's in general or do you mean FansToys MP Dinobots which were collectively branded "DiBots"?
    Just trying to work out if you are saying "no you don't want cartoon-accurate Dinos in general", or "you don't want FansToys to repaint their Dinos in toon-colours".

    It depends. As long as it's very show accurate in both modes but still have excellent articulation and not just blocky bots who only have the basic joints, then I'm interested.

    Yes! FT has given us great G1 Toy versions...why not make a toon series of Dinos. The trick would be WHO makes them. Takara Tomy? Good luck!

    Fans Toys?...That would be the best bet but I don't think it's on their radar any time soon.

    XTB would be cool...I'd be interested in that.

    Newage’s toon-deco Ymir is a demonstration of why I have no interest in animation-style MP Dinobots. That toy looks like a stripped-down, discount KO of the EX version.

    Nope. Good with the FT ones. Dont need them looking less detailed and bright yellow at that size.

    Would I buy? Nope. Already got FT and GP ones.

    Don't have the room to display another set, don't have the desire to spend more cash on new versions, or the motivation to go into the loft to my "never going to sell" section right at the back behind everything else to get the boxes so I could sell a set to make room and raise the money.

    Would i? No. Should they be made? Probably just for those who want that style. Variety is nice. But yeah, I've got Gigapower and Fanstoys. Not to mention most 3rd party Grimlocks. Kinda needless to me

    Newer mp dinobots would be appreciated, as the older ones all have outdated articulation.

    What they should do, is include extra parts that you can then swap back and forth to get the toon or toy look. Like Inferno's front grill, Acoustic Wave's swappable parts, etc.

    Before I went Legends I would've said yes, but now I'm good with the Legends options.

    I don't have any Dinobots yet (Besides MP Grimlock who resides in Dinosaur mode since that's how he spent all of S3) because they're all so expensive for characters that barely appear outside of their Dinosaur modes. But if they made TFTM accurate ones, I'd probably be in.

    I’d get a toon Grimlock but not the whole team at MP scale. I’m getting toon and toy of the whole NA dino crew though.
