Planet X vs Fansproject not-Sludge

[spiderken17]

With so many coming out I am going to wait for them all before deciding as well.
I'm thinking the CHUG sized ones as I like to keep my MP's as cartoon accurate as possible.

I got Columpio (Fansproject not-Sludge) a few days ago and it's just beautiful. It's a simple transformation but still engineered beautifully and it's paint apps are fantastic. If Hasbro toys were this good, I'd be happy paying the $100-odd dollars Columpio cost. Possibly the best toy I've bought so far this year. I'll definitely be getting the rest of the Fansproject dinobots line.

The metallic tint on the paint of Columpio is really nice. Got mine just yesterday. still haven't opened it. Ill get to play with it more when Im on day off..

I really want to see Planet X's Slug. If I only purchase one third party figure, their FOC Slug will be it. Something about Fansproject's puts me off, though I'm not sure what.

I've only just noticed that Columpio doesn't have (much of) wings. It's still a nice looking Sludge but...

I don't know how I missed that for so long.

Wings on Sludge? Are you thinking of Swoop perhaps?

No, I mean Sludge. His beast mode's back opens up into wings in robot mode in both the toy and cartoon model. Colompio has them, but they are small and don't really show up in the pics.

Now I start to wonder if I'm the only person who thinks all the Dinobots have 'wings'. Am maybe I am the only one who grew up thinking that's why the Dinobots can fly in robot mode when the other Autobots needed jetpacks.

It's as good a theory as any - maybe Prowl and Bluestreak could have been able to fly too.

I always saw them as "Wings" too, just not the sort used for flight is all - More so as decorative or ornamental, sort of like those banners that the Chinese & Japanese used to adorn themselves with.
(Not to mention the kibble had to go somewhere didn't it? )

Dinobots need wings. It's part of their aesthetic. I always thought they could fly because they were built by the Autobots and thus were given better abilities than the others, who were Cybertronian-built.
