man that toy is legit, reminds me of my old g1 figure. love the articulation going on with the legs, and the articulation with the triceratops head is sick :) thanks emgo.
"Slag" is a little piece of scrap metal that you get from cutting metal (think like saw dust or splinters, but with metal). It's only a "bad" word in England from what I understand...
slag is also melted rocks / lava, dinobots have been Iava in various stories and actual dinosaurs are fossils, I always assumed this was how they got the name, it's a real word, whereas the derogatory term of slag is a more modern thing. makes more sense to me to educate people rather than change his name because of some of bullshit
Jonny Sorensen I 100% agree, everybody's so liberal nowadays; trying so hard not to offend other people (or preaching about not being offensive) when some people have such thin skin that saying something like "Hi, how are you today?" somehow makes them feel prejudiced. The more I talk to people, the more I hear people agreeing with me here, but at the same time it's still a major problem like seriously wtf?
Maaaaaan! And I was going to limit my Transformers to the Takara masterpiece line :P Why did I have to watch this video, Emgo?!? WHY?!?! Now I have to get all the Fans Toys dinobots too :P Man, Emgo! My wallet is so NOT going to like this at all...
Although I play with my scoria lots of times, but always forgot some details steps here and there, always come back and chk on Your video and still takes me to school . Thx a bunch
Just got mine last week here in Brazil!! It's everything I was expecting after watching to 5 dozens of video reviews on RU-vid and checking some other forums! I had no noticeable problems in the figure itself, like the famous shoulder problem or else. The overall quality is excellent. (Am I lucky?) The only thing that worries me a bit is the opening panel right below the knees.. they're movable panels made of plastic , with a close hinge and with a peg that might get under a lot of pressure during the opening/closing legs movements of the transformations. I'm afraid that that thing might break someday. Also, the gun had no lights working. Just switched the batteries positions and it started to light up.
Nice lead up to Wheeljack. Lol. Even though peaugh and optibotimus already posted their reviews I now feel a satisfying review is now out. A few things were missed by the others but of course you didn't. Great review as always, keep up the great work. Maybe you will get an early sample of ft-05 as well, whatever it may be. Can't wait for the entire dinobot team. What are your thoughts on the gigapower dinobots?
ok, their just cannons. for a moment i thought they were combiner parts for the dinobots...i had a flashback of The Beast just now, gave myself the shivers there.
I was always on the fence about 3rd party TFs, but now I'm down with it. I love this guy so much. Unfortunately I just can't spend the money for him. I guess my own parody videos wont be having Slag in them in the near future. :( Great video, man.
I love the color on Scoria. I wouldn't change it. The sword needs a tweak. I would remove the arms of the sword so its closer to hes wrist. I want scoria and grimlock. I just wonder if they'll ever create the combination of the dinobots. With grimlock slag/scoria and the rest of the dinobots.
Hey Emgo, great review! Can't wait to get my hands on him next month. I wasn't sold on this due to the size difference to MP-08 but his new shoes seem to work and I'm sold and on board. Quick question, is there a screw you can tighten under loose right horn.
I love him soo excited to have him and emgo316 will u do another q and a video again if so I have a few questions. 1.on a scale of one to ten how excited to do another transformers movie figure review? 2.what is your favorite tf4 dinobot and why
Man , I got like this figure , Hasbro has lose this idea still 3rd party companies has done it again this year , this is a must get , keep'em coming Emgo !!!!
If fans toys plans to do all the other Dinobots, do they plan to do their own Grimlock? That way they could solve the scale problem without needing the lifts for his feet.
uhh emgo just so ya know, the horns are actually capable of moving ^^' part of the transformation actually has the horns pointing back along scorias back so he looks more stream lined
Hey emgo316 what do you think of Fans Toys new Cesium. I've been waiting for Scoria to get back in stock for months. So I may just preorder this one. Unless you or any other fan has information I'm missing.
You know I was looking at how MP Grimlock scales to Classics Prime, and he's huge compared to Prime, which based on War For Cybertron, I really like. The Dinobots to me have always been these massive shit kicking powerhouses so these might be my Classics shelf Dinobots if these guys make the full team.
I really dig this figure, but I have to ask... despite the clear love you have for it, and although the feet extensions work just fine. Any idea why they didnt just slightly scale Scoria down just a hair so he was in scale with Grimlock WITHOUT giving him the "platform shoes"? It doesnt particularly bother me, just confused why they wouldnt have just made him a hair smaller sonit wouldnt necesitae that.
HaHaHaHaHa! Limp horn syndrome! There's pills for that. Lol. Seriously can't wait to get mine. Fans Toys hit gold again. Quakewave is still my second favorite MP figure. Great review.
When does of all cybertronians, does GRIMLOCK need anything other than his shear awesomeness? I really like this figure and the Grimlock accessory, but COME ON
I seem to be the only one who wants the robot mode head black, like the original toy. A petty reason not to order something, I know. Perhaps in an alternate version.
EmGo - I got this as a gift for a relative, but we've found a possible QC issue I wanted to ask about. In Dinosaur mode, the LEFT rear leg has a gap in the plastic just above the thigh swivel. It exposes a peg disc that slides into the swivel joint, and allows the entire leg to easily slide off the peg. It can be slid back on, but it's not secure, and the leg constantly falls off with the lightest push. (the right leg does NOT have this problem - the plastic covers the peg and slot, and holds in place nice and secure) Is it just us, or does EVERY figure have this issue? If so, is there a fix? Do you have to return the figure and hope they send out a non-faulty one? Will they send a non-faulty replacement leg? Any info is appreciated - I haven't found much about this online after much searching, so I need to consult with others who already own the figure to see if they've had this problem as well...
this and some of the Other Third Party TF's i have seen on this channel look fucking gorgeous I want all of them so badly but they cost out the wazoo. That Genesis is nearly 400 bucks
