Thanks to site sponsor RobotKingdom we have our first look at the final production colors of their take on a Masterpiece-styled Generation 1 Slag as well as it’s box art. The version show is the chrome version which is 1 of 2 they have planned with the second to be a metallic version. Some of the accessories this figure will come with are a sword and blaster, along with dual missile launchers, clear plastic covers for his dino-mode head and tail to replicate the look of the original G1 figure, switchable red and black heads as well as alternate facial expressions. What really makes this figure stand out is it’s impressive paint job covering nearly the entire figure! Due to be released soon get your pre-orders in now by placing an order with one of our site sponsors.

Got a full chrome giga dinobots set, all new only opened to inspect. DM me if interested!

I don't suppose anyone have the clear covers on the gold circle on the hindlegs, they are willing to part with?

sold mine months ago. they had some scratches and still got a decent price for them and there was tons of interest.

Do we think there'll be a reissue of the metallic versions since slag and snarl are up for preorder on showz? I have those 2 preordered, but my OCD demands I have a set that matches.
Edit: Made this comment before refreshing and seeing the comment above me. Reissues seem unlikely at this point then and I gotta bite the after market bullet it seems
If anyone is willing to sell their HQ-02R and HQ-03R (looking for like new condition) feel free to DM me.

Not sure of any reissues. They're pretty old and have already been reissued a couple of times. Gigapower doesn't even make any transformers related products anymore and they don't offer aftersales services anymore.

they have been very pricey for a long time. i don't know if there is a reissue planned or not.

I've been living under a rock for years and wasn't aware of the GigaPower Dinobots. (I mostly just collect beast wars, but love anything dino). I was able to snag Grimlock(HQ-01R) and Swoop(HQ-05R) on ebay this morning for very fair prices, and thinking of getting sludge(HQ-04R) on BBTS. Currently trying to find Slag(HQ-02R) and Snarl(HQ-03R), but they are PRICEY. Is it safe to assume well get a reissue of the chrome versions of those 2?
What I'd really love is have them all in the weathered versions, but not sure if the other 3 will ever come out.

I heard how beautiful these were, but finally holding it in hand I'm blown away.

Has anyone here tried painting the alternative red face silver?
StrangeAeons
you could just paint the knees silver yourself. man i want Grassor with chrome thighs like in that pic, would have been awsome

Powerfull

I stand corrected. I thought the upper legs were full silver

I just recieved a copy of the first run and the knees are black….I want to use the silver thighs, but they'll ook odd with the blsck knees.
FiVE1ZERO
Wrong. I have the 1st run and it didn't have painted knees. Also Somechump painted his knees.

The first run of metallic came that way, along with all the extra parts. Look up the page at @Somechump post of his ratchet fix, he has the silver knees/thighs.
FiVE1ZERO
My guess is early prototypes/product pictures (like that) had the Silver knees but once it went to production they scrapped it for black knees. Sorta like what happen with the Chrome thighs on Grassor.

As far as I recall neither Silver knees or Chrome thighs ever made it on any releases & later reissues.
nemesisconvoy
I have a question….I got this pic off TCP. Does anyone know where they got the silver knee joints?!?

I arrived late to the Gigasaur party and have Chrome versions of Gaudenter (Blue), Superator, and Graviter in-hand. Realistically, will we actually see Gigapower reissue Chrome Grassor and Chrome Guttur? The idea of paying $500 in the aftermarket is a bitter pill.

A little battle damage on Dinobots isn't the end of the world to me.
But I love these guys. Extra Dinobots are great to display one in bot mode and one in dino mode.
That's my strategy.
Your collection looks good!!!
I like how he looks with the tail removed.
Best way to display in bot mode IMO.
Waddupdough
sweet! I guess this technique can be used on any weak ratchets then, huh?
