Interesting that this pops up so late but has an articulated tail and folds the dino legs away neatly.

Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.
"Quick lets make a 3rd party version of a character that half a dozen other 3rd party companies have already made, that's bound to sell well"
Looks OK but I imagine most collectors have a 3rd party version of the Dinobots by now so I don't know why you would bother making another one.
Spiderken Away!
Actually I'm one of those who doesn't have a 3rd party dinobotReckon if I start it's a slippery slide to a whole new 3rd party collection.
Guess some feel Scoria is too potato in shape, this new one does look nice being a cross of FT/GP style and prob made that way to steal some of GP's thunder on their coming release
Can't imagine anyone re-buying the whole line tho but good for new collectors who wants to buy into the 3P dino line
If the final product definitely looks like it fits with the Dibots, I'll probably pick this up. Loved my toon Scoria when I got him, but it's interesting to see how far they've come with each new dibot so an update isn't entirely unwelcome (except for the cost, of course). Plus I was hoping for an eventual re-release anyway as my Scoria now has a chrome chip/flake at the base of his horn that bugs the hell out of me. An updated version would scratch that itch. But a new not-Swoop would have to be a phenomenal update, and the others are perfectly fine as is. Although the way the "photos" are staged makes it seem like they're only doing a not-Slag.
It seems to have worked out ok for Shockwave/Quakewave/Laserwave/Wavewave.
I don't have any 3rd party MP dinobots aside from Grimlock, and given some people reported minor quibbles with FT Scoria this development does have my interest. That said I'm not really a Slag fan.
With the amount of 3rd party releases these days, I don't see how anyone can keep up with it all, so I think re-releases and updates will become more common so people who didn't get said character a few years ago, can have another chance.
