Daaaaaayum. I wonder how big these guys will be... Also, 6 dinobots? hrmmmm.
Derpan? funny name derpan heheheh...
From what I can see in the pics,does this mean they have mini partners or something that transform into the bigger bots weapon?
If his height is 19cm tall, assuming that's to the top of the head? - I guesstimate that he could be somewhere between 30cm to 40cm long! :eek::DQuote:

And while it definitely has a different aesthetic to FoC, I'm not entirely sure it looks classics-y enough for me (I never thought I'd say that about Fansproject either).
Bloody oath dude! - Taking a note from their Glacialbots! :cool:Quote:

The partners seem a bit tacked on and unnecessary though - although a throwback to the original drivers.

I was considering getting the Planet X versions, but I'm not a huge fan of the game designs, this on the other hand looks pretty perfect.
wowwwwwww this looks so good and its sort of trying to follow the G1 look imo.. so tempting and sludge was my favourite out of the dinobots too!!
from the concept pics slag seems to follow the G1 look too but swoop doesnt???
I wonder if they'll have die-cast like the FP warbots? I'm easily impressed by die-cast, lol. Gives me geewun nostalgia. :D
Dang... I want them.
Great interpretation of our favorite dinos.
Very nice.
This is pretty much heaven for you isn't it?:DQuote:

I knew I had a good reason for sitting out on the MP-scaled excitement ;)Quote:

theses will be around 7.5 inches, also there is a high chance these will have metallic vacumized paint appsQuote:

Really don't want to buy it though, because then I'll be obligated to get the whole set and that will run like $600+.
Maybe it's Paddles.Quote:

A spinosaurus transformer would be not too disimilar to a T-Rex, and LER-04 and LER-05 look like they have similar body shapes.
Interesting bit of speculation of TFW is that if they wanted to repaint these guys as Dinoforce, the six bots and the "riders" make more sense.
In which case the missing one might indeed be Ankylosaurus (holding a club in robot mode).
Argh! - Seriously considering cancelling my Fanstoys Soar preorder in order to get in on this line :o, Sludge is (Like many it seems :D) my favourite Dinobot and I simply can't justify getting both Classics AND Masterpiece iterations of the Dinobots for both financial & space reasons. :(
I'd still be likely to pickup a WFC/FoC & Masterpiece Sludge, in addition to going whole-hog on these FansProject Dinobots, however - I really dig that these come with Dino-Riding Targetmasters (You're damn right SpiderKen17 :D) and that they're clearly going to be of a substantial size. :cool:
Very curious to see what this mystery 6th member is though; I too reckon it's going to be an Ankylosaurus, based primarily on the seeming Club-like weapon, but also as Paulbot points out it'd work perfectly for an eventual Dinoforce/Dinoking repaint of the set. ;):)
Up for preorder at bbts, listed at $102.99
An Ankylosaurus or Spinosaurus would both be awesome. Looking forward to this line, I just hope they are less fiddly than some of the Causality toys.
Same, I like the various MP dinobots, but for whatever reason I'm more keen on these.Quote:

heres the video review from peaugh
Fricking wowsers. Such clever packaging. That toy wins my money, but damn it that I need the TFcon version.
Best guess I've seen is Slapper. Club weapon, doesn't really look like a Sludge-type body-shape (i.e. probably not a remold, which makes sense cost-wise), with visible non-flipper-y feet on the bot-mode arms in the silhouette.Quote:

When this was announced I didn't really take much notice, I thought another new random third party having a crack at dinobots, and just ignored it :o Then I looked again and Fansproject was in the name, now I'm interested :D If one considers the masterpiece size bots, they are really big and almost double the price, this is a great alternative for someone who wants to collect within a smaller budget.
Hmm which online retailer should we aussies use, if anyone's got experience with service and shipping costs.
They are still pretty expensive for what is a essentially a CHUG figure (albeit a large one)
Hmm, i went from "nice but not gonna sign up for what will be about 800 bucks for the whole set"... to seeing that review, and starting to think "oh hey, it'll take years for them to release the lot anyway!"... to then realising that i prefer the Diaclone version ... mostly the chest plate, which really brings out the molding and gives a much better contrast.
http://i.imgur.com/bEKFniW.jpg
... but i don't really care for the gold chrome and $ markup/difficulty obtaining ... nor that he wouldn't match the rest of the standard team members. But now if i get the standard one i'll always be wishing it had the Diaclone version's chest! First world problems :D
Bought!:)
What a funny name for Sludge though, Columpio and the driver's name hehehe Derpan... derp! hahahaha
it's agood thing I haven't started with any of the dino releases - there was the planet x not Swoop earlier on which I thought Id get but hesitated... with all these current releases Im curious to see which one will have the best look, that's prolly the one I'll go with.
That Mechaform Paddles looks to me can pass for the 6th member in G1 style. I wonder how big is it?
FP so far always comes up with the goods but will wait and see coz usually pricing is a hindrance.
Which version is it that combines again? got any links guys?
Man I wish Encore line would resurrect and give us Encore Dinobots. I could go for that definitely!! Even though it'll be my 3rd set, it'll be brand new and shiny so why not heheh.:D
And one from Vangelus.Quote:

Are you referring to TFC's Starcats Dinosaur team?Quote:

Well I bit the bullet and went and POed the FP version. That review from Peaugh with Vangelus at the back sold it for me heheheh
Some colour renders of Columpio and not-Slag & not-Swoop from FansProject's Facebook page... click for larger!

I feel I will get some form of Dinobots and these being CHUG size (roughly) will go with all my other 3rd party stuff but its still a lot for CHUG figures x6. With Quantron and all the MP's coming out how do these companies expect nerds like us to afford them all :)
Very sexy
