After a little bit of silence, the independent group Planet X updated their Facebook page with new images of their in-color prototype of Neptune (based on the Fall of Cybertron Sludge model). With this update we get a good look at the color palette of Neptune as well as a look at the weapons/accessories Neptune will include. The project is looking to ship out from factories this November barring any delay with the detail work that is still being overseen.
*Staff Update* Dino mode pictures added.
Check it out after the jump!

I’m gonna be late to this also but getting the main 5 dinobots. It’s a shame this guy wasn’t a bit bigger or got an oversized ko as he looks a bit small with the others. Otherwise a great set of bots, clear progression in figure design tho between swoop and grimlock.

Skipped the first releases due to the mustard yellow. Understand that it was screen accurate?

These look so good! I wish I could have gone with the metallic but couldn't double dip.

I just got a complete set of Planet X Dinobots, and I am having issues with Sludge and Paddles – is there just not really any way to have their dino necks stay secure in robot mode?
I know for Sludge, there are 2 tabs that slot in from the red flaps, but the tops of those flaps meet before the pegs can actually be secure, so it's a very loose hold. For Paddles…there are no slots for the tabs, so it's even worse.
Am I missing something?
I've also noticed that Paddles arms have a hard time staying pegged into his chest in robot mode, and the knee guards are arm joints are a bit loose on most of the figures (and Snarl's feet…ugh…). Are these issues fixable with some floor polish, or are these figures just generally a floppy mess in some aspects?

Never too late. These dinos looks still good, especially the metallic versions. We need now only slug.

Just got the reissue from RK. They made the box smaller and it comes in the foam packaging like Pluto.

They all should soon, though US sites may be slow to list it due to being busy with TFCon this week.

Well this makes it official. PX is about as chaotic as a spastic cat I couldn't tell you the number of times Neptune has come up in my conversations with them and each time they responded with a resounding "No". I'm starting to believe a bitter woman is in charge here ROFL
Grats to all those who can finally complete their FoC Dinobot set

I've started hunting for Neptune as well. If someone decides to downsize their collection and offload their gently used Neptune, I'll gladly throw money at your face.
