Thanks for everyone's feedback. I agree with you that there is not a bad choice to be made here.
Was starting to talk myself into going the X route but then realised Scoria (not Slag) has a black head but I feel he looks far more distinguished from the rest with a red head. Also, if I go the standard ones I can get Stomp (not Sludge) straight away and he is very clearly my favourite dinobot. Doh!

Scoria has both red and black, comes with both heads

Oh right thanks for the pickup. Just watched a review and they had the red head on it. All the other pics I saw were with the black.Originally Posted by CoRDS
Ok so it just comes down to how bad I want Stomp right now vs waiting in the hopes one comes up. Though everyone that has it loves it so that could be a while.

Dont get Scoria because Perfect Fusion Cesium should be finally out soon. Scoria doesnt scale well with the rest of the FT Dinobots hence the updated version.
I have Server and Soar and they are quality figures. I had planned on completing the FT dinobots but it's a heft investment. Stomp and Grimlock are at least $400 for both.
As an alternative to FT also check out the Gigapower line.

There MAY NOT be a Cesium as there doesn't seem to be any developement and Scoria is being reissued.
I personally wont want to be left hanging with the X version missing out as is one off, people who buy them will keep the rest or get rid all at one hit.
What is the original colour version that Scoria suppose to be? Red or Black?

There was a recent update in the TFW thread with a picture of lots of Caesiums.

It's happening we just dont know when yet. Scoria reissue seems weird at this point.

I actually only run by DaiumChoc Reports or official Fantoys. if that picture is right then it wouldn't harm showing more detail of Caesium. However, I do agree and I did put a brake on Scoria to see where this figure was at as I heard almost nothing for months.
Here are some of my concerns about Perfect fusion Casesium, Fan Toys removed it from their facebook page as well. It feels like this is one of those a maybe project, just like Berserk falling off the radar. If it comes, I buy this instead.

If you can find a Stomp-X for a price you're willing to pay, then definitely go that route. I was lucky in that I put it out everywhere I could that I was looking for a Stomp-X and a fellow board member here answered the call
Maybe spend a bit of time chasing Stomp first. If you can't get one then go with the regular versions.
And I'm waiting for Ceasium-X. Scoria-X is still fairly available so I'm gonna wait and see how Caesium plays out.

So I have 4 of the 5 (missing grinder from you know where) and while I think scoria scales well height wise he's not as beefy as the others but that's just a compromise for dino mode in my opinion.
Back to your question I guess it's all about animation I like mine to be as G1 animated as possible hence I have gone with the normal version. The X version in my opinion is to keep the G1 toy collectors happy with the additional chrome everywhere and like you have said stompX is becoming rarer by the day. If you are a fan of G1 animation I would steer clear of gigapower as they have put there own little spins on the design which don't appeal to my cartoon aesthetic tastes.
