Hey Shartimus, I had the same problem with Scoria's wings in robot mode, till I figured something about the back pack. At the top of the backpack you want to push it against the robots back, so it becomes flush against it. This gives you an angular gap in the folds of the backpack where the wings can angle up into. It's not a big difference, but it's significant enough to make it look better. Love the videos man, keep it up!
cik105 I was able to get that too. The tolerances are tight but it works. That is some serious engineering. You just have to be careful so you don't damage the chrome on the back.
I finally got mine and he is AWESOME! With the re-releases of Scoria out I wanted to make sure I got the original cartoon colors before they were all gone. Like you I was bothered that MP Prime was taller than Grimlock. It bothered me so much I kept Grimlock in his box but when I got Scoria, one of the first things I did was put those extensions on and what a difference! The engineering and looks of this figure is spot on! Fantoys rocks and with those extentions, it is like I am getting 2 figures instead of one. Again thanks for the video! BTW, mine came with all the batteries included in both the sword and the gun.
What an awesome figure! I can totally understand why these Masterpiece figures are a little on the expensive side. You definitely get your moneys worth. Try comparing a platinum Ultra Magnus to the new Masterpiece Ultra Magnus and tell me which is cheaply made. Awesome review Shartimus!!!
cool video shartimus that figure looks so awesome i love the dinobots and i love the masterpiece line of figures even though i cant afford them XD im sure thats gonna be great in a display with the rest of them anyway keep up the awesome videos
Grimlock in TF4 is the only true size compared to Prime. He is the only "normal sized" Autobot that can beat Prime in 1v1 due to pure strength. I can't wait for a Masterpiece Lockdown based on the Extinction-movie. It will be fun to see if they can manage to get the facecannon working with the transformation - masterpiece quality.
I have no idea why hasbro has made no attempt at making generations style dinobots like this. They've only done grimlock. It would be cool to see though.
Such an awesome toy. I really wish there was a version in a better price range - maybe a scaled down version with no die-cast? Even if I could shell out $200 on it - it would just mean that I would have to get the rest which would be about $1000. Can't do it. Thanks for the review though so that I might partake in its majesty even from afar.
ShartimusPrime Actually Grimlock doesn't have the same quality as Scoria..Looks cartoony..I prefer getting their version of Grimlock to match the quality of Scoria.
I got it too! I know people are complaining about how big it is but in the old show they really were much bigger than Prime so I like the size!
I like that you included the transformation instead of just skipping to it
Yeah I agree this is a cool figure and the text on the box was awesome

I never really thought about picking up a masterpiece figure, but now I'm starting to really like them

Grimlock wrote the bio.
That was gold.

Love the alt mode for this figure, I've always had a love for dinosaurs!!! 😄
I swear you are like the coolest guy. You review star wars,DBZ,transformers and godzilla!
I love scoria he looks awesome and I really want to buy him. How about reviewing the hot toys rhino, amazing Spider-Man 2 and electro
This figure is so AWESOME! I'm definitely going to look into picking it up.
I want to start a collection of masterpiece figures eventually i just love the gen one looks in the larger scale
I absolutely need this figure.
WOW REALLY digging the engineering on this one! soem great thought went into it!
I love how its soo shiny.
Very cool figure. These third party figures are amazingly accurate.
You can tighten up that back kibble a little more...It goes farther up..
This figure looks amazing! Makes me wish Hasbro and Takara did the rest of the MP Dinobots. Oh well, great review!
This is where I will give my money to them..When Grimlock will be released I will sell the Takara one..3RD Party toys are blown away TAKARA/TOMI toys.
Love this figure, I'm not going to get the masterpiece dinobots or any other 3rd party version but they are so cool!
Love the old school tranformers too much :D
Outstanding figure!
cool video shartimus that figure looks so awesome i love the dinobots and i love the masterpiece line of figures even though i cant afford them XD im sure thats gonna be great in a display with the rest of them anyway keep up the awesome videos
Can't wait for the rest of the dinobots to be released.
This looks very nice, amazing work by Fans Toys.
this is truly a masterpiece
Really wish the Grimlock Mp robot would scale with Scoria. The Grimlock add on boots is cool and all but reminds me of The Kiss rock band members.
Cool transformation!
Beyond a cool figure.
nice
This figure looks so sick!!!
I'm digging this figure
This is just a must have damn near a perfect figure great review
Here for the contest Shartimus!
you should see peaugh's review on the fansproject one
Longest figure review ever! LOL - cannot wait to get this guy!
Maybe Slag/Scoria was the one that wrote his own bio:D Imagine his voice as reading it.lol
Amazing Figure
Just ordered on Shart. Are there no more knockoff masterpiece Dinobots besides Scoria? Can't find any on eBay
So polished.
That's flipping awesome!

Even tho Age of extinction sucked, I really wanna start collecting Masterpiece figs!
So I'm thinking MP Not-Snarl is going to have extra foot to make Grimlock even extra taller than he was with Scoria foot add-ons.lol
It's like Slag wrote his own bio.
His name is Slag not Snarl, i sorry i hated typing that but im just watching your back Shart
Good looking out
But I called him Slag more than Snarl. Wouldn't you think because of that it was just an honest mistake?
in animated they called him snarl
ShartimusPrime i knew what you meant bro, just a slip of the tongue. Which in most cases is a good thing! You perv! LOL!
ShartimusPrime yeah of course it was an honest mistake that's why i said i was just watching out for you dood.
Really cool figure
Best translation in to English ever!
This looks awesome! Shiny!!!!
I have no idea why hasbro has made no attempt at making generations style dinobots like this. They've only done grimlock. It would be cool to see though.
