TFPrime Swerve toy announced.

Um, when were the Dinobots "extinct" ?

Hehe.

Between the original set and now we've had a Classic Pretender Dinobot, Action Master Dinobots, Classic Dinobots, G2 Dinobots, BW Grimlock, the Beast Machines-era Dinobots, Universe Dinobots, the Energon Dinobots, an Alternator Dinobot, Classics Dinobots, Animated Dinobots, Robot Heroes Dinobots, Titanium Dinobots, a Masterpiece Dinobot, and the Powercore Dinobots.

I did specifically mean the original G1 5 Member Team being extinct, but in regards to your list:

• Classic Pretender Dinobot - (Is a single G1 Grimlock evolution)
• Action Master Dinobots - (Are 2 G1, non-transformable evolutions of: Grimlock & Snarl)
• Classic Dinobots - (Simple re-releases of the G1 figures still within G1's life-time)
• G2 Dinobots - (Odd coloured repaints of the G1 Grimlock, Slag & Snarl molds)
• BW Grimlock - (Is a single G1 Grimlock evolution that bares little resemblance beyond text based fiction)
• Beast Machines-era Dinobots - (None of whom were based on any of the original G1 characters, neither in colour or personality)
• Universe Dinobots - (Beast Wars mold repaints baring only a parsing resemblance & comprising Grimlock & Swoop)
• Energon Dinobots - (The 1st 2 proper armages to the original Dinobots, only consisting of Grimlock & Swoop)
• Alternator Dinobot - (A Ford Mustang evidently looks very much like a Pre-Historic, Bi-Pedal Therapod Dinosaur huh? - Again, Grimlock)
• Classics Dinobots - (Minicons that bore no resemblance in name or personality except for Swoop & a G1 Pretender Grimlock armage)
• Animated Dinobots - (The 2nd proper armage of the original team, ending up as Dino-dolts with an aesthetic to match and only consisting of 3 members)
• Robot Heroes Dinobots - (The 3rd proper armage, only comprising Grimlock & Snarl - Non-Transformable effigies)
• Titanium Dinobots - (Consisting of a single Comic-based, Pre-Earthen version of G1 Grimlock)
• Masterpiece Dinobot - (The 1st true armage of a G1 Dinobot, once again Grimlock)
• Powercore Dinobots - (Scarcely released toys of whom weren't in any way the core G1 team)

Perhaps I should've been more clarative in my original post;
We've never received a complete set of figures homaging all 5 original G1 Dinobot Team members, none of the figures which have come in the past (Since the original 5 Dinobot Molds) has come close to offering a complete team/set of figures nor any being as cool as what High Moon Studios has designed (Beyond MP Grimlock) - Never has HasTak had a better opportunity to reproduce the entire G1 Dinobot Team in an updated/modern fashion.

Now that I've successfully derailed the thread , back to the topic at hand...

Voyager Breakdown or a repaint/retool of that figure?

I see what you mean. Far, far too many Grimlocks. Please Hasbro/TakaraTomy we don't need another Grimlock toy.

Give us a new Gears toy instead. Swerve is close but still not quite there.

I did specifically mean the original G1 5 Member Team being extinct, but in regards to your list:

I think you also need Grimlock, Snarl, Sludge and Swoop from the Wal-Mart exclusive Dinobots line. I'd say Grimlock and Snarl (and maybe Swoop) were clear G1 homages, though still recolours.

Definitely. Or Paddles.

Actually you're half right dude, in that I missed Snarl & Sludge out of those Wal-Mart Exclusive 'Universe' repaints; the molds and paint schemes are a fair departure though.

It's been confirmed Swerve is a repaint of breakdown (source:http://www.robotkingdom.com/services...=us&CatID=91_1)

+ Jet Vehicon (source:http://www.robotkingdom.com/services...s&CatID=41_265)

no colour pics of either just yet, hell the jet vehicon uses the same silhouette as the car vehicon.

armages

oh and Hursti it homage, not armage mate

Cheers man, I know of the word 'Homage' too but I've also heard 'Armage' thrown around but I've had trouble trying to find an actual dictionary mentioning... Hehe, he...
