FansProject's Lost Exo-Realm (Dinobots)

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Was discussing this on Twitter earlier. Paddles seems to be the first guess (first official add on to the G1 Dinobot team). There's the medic in the IDW comics too who I forget.

My best guess is it will be a G1 version of an AOE Dinobot, the most highprofile of "add on" Dinobots. And of the two it'd be most likely Scorn, who is in the movie and a big dinosaur, rather than Slash, who's not in the movie and a small dino.

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.

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.
There is this not-Sludge remold from Mechaform though.

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 Then I looked again and Fansproject was in the name, now I'm interested 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.



... 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

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.
