It's amazing how they can cram half a stegosaurus in his legs. Man he has HUGE legs though.

[@itssnover9000]

i kow what the diffrence is...... thiss one is SHINEY

[@darthdmc]

In the cartoons, the scales were never consistant. In Desertion of the Dinobots, one shot shows Swoop and Snarl as taller than Grimlock.

[@youmongrel]

FOUR! FOUR! FOUR KINDS OF GOLD!! Seriously though I feel like they owe me a replacement head for Scoria so he doesn't look so odd-man-out.

[@besnikzogaj9887]

Zero to Hero!

[@besnikzogaj9887]

Just like that!👌👉

[@Transformadoo]

So beautiful, so animation like, love how cool he looks, FansToys really took it home with this one once again; seeing this makes me feel positive about my preorder for their FT tesla and FT bombshell.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Well day. A few years in and these toys still rock! I too am a Fans Toys fan boy. It took a few years but this year (2021) I was finally able to finish my set and these have to be some of the best 3rd party toys ever made. Fans Toys just nailed the Masterpiece aesthetic. I just love of they all fit in with my Masterpiece Grimlock Again thanks for the review.

[@jasonvoorheesthethird]

I simply love the fantoys dinobots, i have them all and this one with swoop are both my favorite, they did an outstanding job...i love everything about these figures, and the crome is amazing on this one! And great review as usual :)

[@nigelcole299]

I enjoyed the larger size of the Gigapower (NOT) Dinobots. So I bought for full set. I must admit it was a real tough decision to make. One of the difficulties of being a masterpiece collector.

[@dragonranger8456]

We had better get Masterpiece Combaticons!

[@markjoellaus7835]

Just WOW!!! While I am watching the transformation, starts from the leg until the end, my mouth is open!!! I love the transformation of this!!! Emgo how much is this??? This is just WONDERFULLY PERFECT!!! I am amazed with this toy!!!

[@godxjz6068]

mark joel laus over a thousand

[@aaronmauer7225]

I just got him and who are we kidding grimlock does not fit will even with the scoria lifts. Ft is making a grimlock so that may be the way to go. Or the ko os grimlock

[@Dramatic_Gaming]

Pretty cool that FansToys is essntially filling in all sorts of Masterpiece toys that never were. Personally, I like the look of the FoC/Planet X Dinobots more, but these G1 Masterpiece versions are really cool. And MP Grimlock does kind of stick out in robot mode. Dino mode fits in pretty well, but the robot mode he just looks a little too stumpy.

[@robledoeugene1975]

Amazing you hit the nail on the head Fans Toys gets the G1 esthetic. Their product looks official so much so that they only need the faction symbol. Gutter looks good for a third party shelf and Sever was made for a Masterpiece shelf. Thanks for the early review I am geeking out. Cheers

[@shawnrodgers2180]

Back when I was a kid I had about nearly all the original metal transformers. Prime and ultra Magus were the same truck but Magus was all white. Had the decepticons fortress the big black and purple dinosaur, had metroplex, Devastator, the original gun megaton, soudwave, shockwave, starscream, jetfire, rodimus, that's just a few I remember

[@marvinonstage]

Good review. I'm glad you mentioned the elephant in the room about this vs.the Gigapower version nut I would have loved to see them together where you could have pointed out the difference between the two and we could see visually. Are you going to review the G creations combiner versions coming out?

[@chrischen1974]

Great review! This and the Gigapower Gutter look too be great toys all though Shogo Hasui himself said the MP line was never meant to be cartoon accurate but be the ultimate version with influences from all source materials.

[@emgo316]

chrischen1974 that's really weird to hear because every bit of promotional material that's released for masterpiece figures (down to the instruction sheet) are littered with stills from the cartoon. Interesting.

[@chrischen1974]

emgo316 True the cartoon is the main source of design inspiration but it's not the only source. Here's a excerpt from a interview with Hasui about MP-10 which led to the new MP direction. "Q- I see you have been very particular about recreating Convoy from the cartoon. A-Hasui: Not exactly so, if I only picked the details from cartoon Convoy, it will not make a highly detailed design fit for MP series. I incorporated details from American comics and the toy where more details were required. For example, the details on the shoulder were taken from the original toy as well as the headlights - they are square-shaped in the cartoon, but they don't look right in three dimensional form. I added the silver stripes like the original toy for the same reason even though they are absent in the cartoon Convoy. You will notice there aren't many details created newly for this Convoy once you take a close look. Even the inside of the feet or the back are based on some previous images of Convoy. And my favorite quote from him about the MP line. "Neither making the cartoon version into a three dimensional form nor making it as realistic as possible is a good idea." - Shogo Hasui

[@megops81]

You should try doing an all Masterpiece skit for once Em lol. I think it would really be cool to see. You can then title it "Where's my Pizza bagels?" LOL.

[@selectorsdelight]

tough choice! Giga Guttur did not miss the mark. Giga or FT dinos would look badass on my MP shelf.

[@Prime-gu8xw]

I'd have to disagree with you on what the masterpiece aesthetic is. While the primary influence is the cartoon, there are undeniable details present in every masterpiece figure that were taken from the g1 toys. Otherwise, great video as always.

[@mapletown11]

Very awesome looking Dinobots so far from FansToys. Sludge has always been my favorite so I'm looking forward to seeing FansToys version of him.

[@richardcaron4012]

I just picked up Sever and I am overwhelmed by the gold chrome. This thing looks incredible. I'm all for his posablility in alt mode as how much movement can a stegosaurus have? I think my only nitpick would be a lack of accessories. It can be forgiven though as he didn't have much as far as the character went anyway. Big and sturdy. I love it!

[@torchit2302]

This is big and beefy and big and beefy...

[@ecr3ati0nz]

Emgo love your reviews! I have been following you since your custom Devastator from JC artworks awhile ago. Mainly a lurker to check out new toys. But i just got into you tubing and decided to share comments for all of my favorite videos. Anyways this is pretty bad @ss transformation! Great video!

[@couldonlybeme123gaming7]

32:38 That is one happy Swoop! Is he happy because he won the Cybertron lottery?

[@collectertron6747]

I agree fans toys get the whole master piece deal more then most compains. This one looks awsome i just wish i had the money for one

[@seanosh79]

looks like the best dinobots to date. I'm picking him up with the bbts discount. if he is as awesome as I think.... this year will be the year of the dinos.

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

I cant wait to complete this set. Hope they make a killer Grimlock. The only thing this set are missing is the shoulder cannon/rocket things on the others. Slag and Sludge.

[@joesmith3829]

When gigapower dinobots come out can you do a side by side comparison

[@WeirdPaperbag2]

Can't wait for Fanstoys Grinder...

[@hoebread7584]

I AM A STEGOOOSAURAS

[@ThirdOfJune4444]

A very impressive figure! I couldn't help but notice at the 16:17 mark he has wheels in the tail. Wait...wha?! Is there a vehicular mode?

[@BrotherApexx]

The Japanese versions were all vehicle-based and had tiny human figures--Mini-men, I think they were called--that could fit inside. Look at G1 Grimlock, for example, and you will see that he has a cockpit in his back.

[@dkres82]

man oh man we need that sludge, they look amazing together though.

[@pattistrickland2344]

He looks awesome, I love the shiny crom too. And I saw the wheels on his tail too, it does not make sense. I love swoop when he does that, ever since I seane him do that, I do that to my brother, it drives him crazy. I just walk up to him, put my thumb up in his face and say ayyy. I love it. Great review emgo keep up the awesome, your the man.

[@emgo316]

The "wheels" are the joints so the tail can be articulated in Dino mode.

[@EclipseColdfire]

Whoop whoop, may favorite dinobot!

[@MrMeeples]

Just got my Sever today (or as it looks like in with the weird box font, 'Seuer'). Sword is still loose, gun is still too tight. Also the hip swivel makes me cringe cos it's so tight. Thought I was gonna break it.

[@Drenore]

Fantastic review as always man, thank you. Informative & good for a bit of craic. Is the 'hole' everyone seems to be crying about the cavity in the back that the panels tuck into an fill in??? How securely do the back plates hold? & do the think the red skirt bit hanging from them at the back gets in the way of waist articulation or anything else? Hate for it to be like the Magnus diaper. Finally, how does it feel weight & joint wise? I found Scoria's weight to be too much in the legs making them all wobbly, & then some of Swoop's were so tight he could've been in stasis-lock

[@jaythamalt]

Fanstoys next project: SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE DINOBOTS

[@RAFMnBgaming]

never has SCIENCE ever been used for such a good cause.

[@MR.LMR1996]

We need another Dinobot Sentai Episode with the Dinobots! :D

[@zerocalvin]

look at all those shiny fingerprint trap..

[@markellzey4714]

If only my Sever would have come in dino mode. Man it's a pain to try and reverse engineer how to transform this thing because reviewers want to start in alt mode for some reason. I appreciate the transformation help, but it's hard to try and reverse engineer how you transform it in the video when it's packaged in robot mode.

[@dalekx243]

I have the limited edition red sever/snarl one but I accidentally broke about 3 to 4 spikes already lol

[@davidflynn666]

If only scoria had those ratchets, sever looks to have taken everything that was bad about scoria and made it perfect,

[@markdrakan]

Looks like Swoop/Soar is having some... ... ... Happy Days :-)

[@ejallen4801]

This thing is beautiful. I maybe getting this one!

[@Sl33pingLionheart]

I love the little variations they did with the transformation. Love that he's more in scale with mp Grimmy. Even though I really like Guttr, I'll probably choose this one. What are those wheels on the back of the tails in robot mode?

[@emgo316]

The "wheels" are the joints so the tail can be articulated in Dino mode.

[@Sl33pingLionheart]

emgo316 Really smart!

[@Mrblackgoldfish]

All I want is a Masterpiece Jazz and an Autobot triple changer.

[@DrummingTheBlues]

Glad to see u comment Emgo stand up for what you like , very cool man .

[@tfrwldnas9725]

I will admit I'm Jealous... Having gone down the Toyworld Dino combiner route I will never own this toy, the engineering on this guy is by far the best out of any of the 3rd Party NOT Snarls, Guttur has the looks but this guy has the engineering, I assume you had to send back the Guttur test sample, as it would have been good to do a direct size comparison with that, one thing I will say about this the gold chrome is very yellow compared to the other fans Toys Dinos especially Scotia?

[@emgo316]

tfrWLDNAS I never got a guttur sample

[@gumperP]

Just wondering if you've changed your stance on the gigapower, as a lot of the things you mentioned seem to have been addressed and changed? The legs can fold in, or out now depending how you want it.

[@orianpax87]

FANS TOYS HIDS THE STUFF & NOT LET IT HANG OUT

[@DrummingTheBlues]

I luv FT I got FT soar and scoria but I had to go with giga guttur on this fig yup I'm Okie I'm going to mix it up lol

[@cs9927]

Hi emgo316, I need your opinion. Which Dinobots brand do you think is better Fanstoys or Gigapower?

[@5nasy]

I LOVE YOU EMGO!!!

[@nielmancenido7908]

NOT SEEN ALL WE MUST DYMITE BEFORE

[@thedevastator1050]

Is that the test shot Scoria that you kept, just asking

[@hbomb9956]

Could you do the gigapower version of this

[@zilvertron]

Great Review there, but i Think i rather have a Minicon symbol right there instead of the Autobot logo, soo much more fun! Or go shattered glass on theyír asses and put D-con symbols, so many options. ;D

[@hyperchord]

I've solved the problem by buying the os ko grimlock

[@pandamant666]

between fans toys and toy world, which one you like better?

[@CaptainPsychosis]

I know it's supposed to be the best representation out on the market at this point but I just can't get past the face design. To me I think the face/head can make or break a figure and in this case, it does hurt it quite a bit. It's got that cheap KO look to it that does not belong to a $200 dollar toy, but I guess that's just sticking to the G1 animation look...

[@deanjames2903]

Ok im sold, already have grimlock, and have now ordered swoop amd preordered this one what is the others i need

[@dialNforNinja]

Him Snarl no like you keep forgetting him Snarl's name!

[@hisashi1iso]

Damn hard decision between this and GigaPower Guttur...

[@lwc888]

The figure is cool but just held the sword once and some of the chrome on the sword has already worn off! Nooooooooooo

[@evilvillain631]

Which third-party company you like better??? Or you Think is better???

[@philipblack8694]

Mp Grimlock looks a bit anaemic next to these guys

[@seanosh79]

it needs a bigger grim lock...

[@mareeagen9422]

Awesome

[@Randomguy1ism]

Why does Sever look like Guttur?

[@moaangol5915]

Is it just me? or the face looks really like Arnold Schwarzenegger?

[@SiuLo]

I want it so bad................

[@videoenrique29]

Te invito a revisar estos dinobots

[@tztz-iy6ui]

CESIUM SALAMY!!!!!

[@georgepierson5795]

Either I am missing something or I didn't hear it. Why are there wheels inside of his tail?

[@emgo316]

+George Pierson those are to give his tail articulation in Dino mode

[@georgepierson5795]

emgo316 OK, thanks.

[@kamalak8255]

Emgo, snap is supposed to be taller than grimlock

[@animalcrossingforever9223]

Aww Precious

[@brianrussell2083]

How much are they

[@aaroncummins8]

Whreercan get one 0:34

[@billyrider3718]

I want to see mascot play five night at freddy 1-3 emgo316

[@kamalak8255]

Snarl is supposed to bevtaller than grimlocl

[@thehoodedteddy1335]

Who's Henry?

[@Neo_Sauron]

Chrome Guttur for the win. Sorry but it's the truth lol.

[@mickmerr]

Is nobody else going to mention the massive hole in the dino chest ? It's the same issue as FOC Grimlock and kinda turns me off this guy v the gigapower version. Also gigapower are including some other gimmicks (more bang for your buck) On the plus side I'm really glad to see more ratchet joints so we won't have the same limp arm issue we had with scoria.

[@emgo316]

So you're one of those people who displays their toys upside down? lol I never had any issues with my scoria and I have the test shot. Flame booties and a clear Dino helmet doesn't sell the toy for me, but to each his own.

[@mickmerr]

emgo316 it's not the flame booties as such it's the chest opening I like. I just feel that an MP style toy should be a step above and not have a hollow chest. Don't get me wrong I love your videos and congrats on the 100k subs but I thought you could of mentioned it...

[@emgo316]

I didn't mention it because I don't see it as an issue because... I don't display my toys upside down lol. Mp bumblebee has hollow forearms. Half of sideswipe's inner leg is hollow. Wheeljack has some hollowness. Sometimes it's not possible to fill every gap.

[@mickmerr]

emgo316 I guess so, again I do like you're stuff and the videos are funny as hell. But on this we'll just have to agree to disagree.

[@emgo316]

I'm not trying to change your mind or anything. I just wish people wouldn't make their choices based on stupid little nitpicky stuff that's really inconsequential to the overall quality of a figure.

[@blakemaster8564]

Why me grimlock leader smaller then snarl...why ko reximus prime bigger then me fans toy grimlock me leader u know lolahhahahah

[@XPERIA80]

I have watched several of your reviews, if somebody lookin for more rare transformers toy reviews, cant skip yours. i like to see these toys how working. I hope you accept critics, if not, dont be angry for me, but your ,,child style" (i think you are a adult collector) and the forced laughting on ownself if you make bad moving little bit disturbing, i like your reviews,but sorry after some seconds i need turn down everytime the volume:) bb

[@emgo316]

XPERIA80 I don't force anything. it's all real, baby! I'm just having fun with what I do.

[@XPERIA80]

emgo316 Ok, no problem, your review, your style, your trademark. As adult collector this was for me after 3-4 review too much:> But back to the theme, im suprissed how complex transformation have this ,,masterpiece rerelease" but the result is closer to the cartoon. I have owned the original G1 Snarl. But as g1 toy have low articulation, and the leg transparent peg after some transformation, holding not so hard (start cracking down) the dino under leg. Im waiting now to make a better, new 3p powermaster optimus. The Xovergen version is wide from the original.

[@emgo316]

XPERIA80 I'm an adult collector too. I'm 36 lol. Like I said. I'm just having fun. that's what toys are for.

[@dabomb7832]

+emgo316 How would you place a repro label where the dino head splits?

[@emgo316]

+DaBomb783 you place the sticker on the head in dino mode and take a cut it down the seam with a thin knife
