It may have taken a few years, but it appears that a third-party company has once again come through to provide a badly needed figure for a inexcusably neglected character.
TFW2005 board member and purported XTB and KFC owner, ibot (aka Keith) has released prototype images from yet another company with which he is affiliated. Alien Attack Toys has announced SFT-01 Firage, a Masterpiece-styled homage to Transformers: Dark of the Moon Dino.
This prototype involves some truly mind-blowing engineering that somehow manages to take a Ferrari and turn it into an unbelievably screen-accurate representation of Dino.
“This figure is a Deluxe figure with about 15cm robot height, rubber tyres, ABS+ Die cast material, due to arrive by 4th quarter of 2017.”
“Should be around $55.00 retail from AAT reliable source.”
From this description, it appears that this figure is meant to scale with the newly released Movie Masterpiece line and looks like it would fit in right next to Bumblebee and Optimus Prime.
How do you feel about Alien Attack Toys taking on this neglected movie character? Feel free to share your thoughts on our discussion boards.

In this thread for a newer figure, there may be a few people looking to sell this AAT figure: Unique Toys R06 Red Dasher (Masterpiece DotM Dino)

WOW this is a gorgeous bot (just discovered) thinking I would like to track one down for my deluxe movie bots since a Studio Series Dino doesn't exist.

For real? Awesome! I've been hoping someone would make an MPM scale version. He's probably my favorite design and, if done well, would pass LeHire as my favorite toy…

The upsized one sounds really good to me. It was so frustrating how he was so close to being in scale with MPM

I did, on Facebook. Looks like some sort of correction(s) were done to it as well.

Has anybody seen the upcoming oversized/MPM version?

I hope Unique Toys takes a spin at making their own Dino. He would to be a great fit for them.

What did you end up doing with this broken copy?

If only they made a second improved version.. Also i need a white version(remember seeing one white prototype alongside the black prototype)

He might not be all that bad for an mpm scale figure. At MPM scale, Dino would be about 15-16cm, which is about Dino's size.

So, I had the mushroom peg of the right arm/shoulder shear off during transformation. Does anyone have a broken one they'd like to sell me parts from? Or does anyone know how to get replacements?
I messaged Alien Attack on Facebook, but they said to work with the retailer. Unfortunately, I bought a regular eBay user's copy. MISB at the time.
This is only my second transformation, I think, so not super impressed.

Looks awesome, although I don't need a second Dino figure. Actually wasn't the black version the FIRST version of this mold? I seem to recall seeing him in the prototype phase with mostly black.
