HasLab Deathsaurus

Why would Dinobots be out?

Because three out of the five have already been released at mass retail via Studio Series 86, with the last two still on their way.

That's why I specified G1. Maybe I should have said vintage, or retro or whatever, hence the need for new tooling.

Honestly, I wouldn't put too much stock in the "No Optimus' on Haslab."

If they think of an idea that'll work well on Haslab, they're going to do it rather than stick to an extremely arbitrary rule. Especially if they get pressure from above.

While this makes sense on paper, I daresay that ANY Optimus that looks like it would work well on Haslab, would look a million times MORE like it would work in retail.

THAT's why they keep saying "No Optimus' on Haslab."

But ZacWilliam1 wasn't talking about Diaclone/Micro Change molds in the post you responded to.

We’ve gotten an upgrade of almost every previous Optimus in existence. With the possible exception of Actionmaster Prime and he doesn’t seem like something you’d have the interest to Haslab.

They kind of have done the Action Master desgin, a retool of POTP Optimus prime Orion figure, that was apart of the Selects Star Convoy!

I know a lot of people are speculating Primus (AKA Cybertron) but what if, its really another attempt at the Ark but a play set instead of a robot to scale with the mainline figures and it folds up to look like the mountain that the Ark crashed into?

I've been less worried about the chrome since I got the Golden Lagoon Starscream and the Autobot three-pack a while back, and none of them show any problem at all.

I plan to put him with my other robot chicken. Oddly, neither have anything to do with stop-motion.

Doubledealer Boo, what's the matter with you?
You don't act like the other 'Cons do.
You wear a Disguise to look like Autobot guys,
But you're not a 'Bot, you're a Doubledealer Boo!

Zac's suggestion of the Nemesis makes sense to me - it's got a pretty striking design I think.

We're at 3/5 of the Dinobots... maybe a two-pack of Snarl and Swoop, to do them right? I'm worried if there's a bit of a drop-off between Snarl and the others due to cost inflation, and Swoop may be a bit weird since he's winged and somewhat different design-wise. And they could maybe throw in all the swords.

Prop Matrix of Leadership is very plausible idea.

 

[MrBlud]

Doing the Ark for $150 and then Nemesis for twice as much?

That would be a bit crap IMO.

 

[Haywire]

Three words:
Giant. Purple. Griffon.

...would probably break all the prior Haslab funding records, right?

 

[Sabrblade]

The Nemesis is already rumored to be next year's Titan.

That this is a real Hasbro stock photo just tickles me.

 

[Superomegaprime]

Just looking at that picture, I see a weaponizer port in his mouth and I'm just thinking one could stick apart of a weaponizer or fossilizer into his mouth, so he can do what Grimlock wants to do in the 86 movie!!

 

[Robogeek1973]

Looking forward to getting that space chicken/dragon on my shelf.

That thing looks freaking nuts!

 

[Gizmoboy]

That is amazing! I love the port in his mouth so you can put in flame effects. Also, so incredibly cheesy that he can hold the blaster on his shoulder in dragon mode. Wonderful!

 

[Platypus Prime]

Chicken Boo has had his disguise ruined for the LAST TIME...Now, he leaves no witnesses...

That's... actually kinda accurate to what happens in the sequel series on Hulu.

 

[RichardT519]

I'm glad I actually saw that already so I wasn't spoiled.

Hasbro understood the assignment. I don't want Deathsaurus redesigned to be "cool". I want this.
