Via Third-party Unlimited Facebook we have our first look at the gray prototypes of Cang Toys Dinobots/Volcanicus.
This is Cang Toys highly stylized take on the G1 Dinobots similar to the style they used with their Thunderking/Predaking combiner and Predacons. The images reveal the robot and dinosaur of each classic dinobot plus a new member who transforms into a spinosaurus. All of them will be able to combine, but we are yet to see images of the combiner.
See the images attached to this news post and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Nearly everyone in this thread has. But that was a "one-off," which was why it never made it in terms of it being the final colors for Stegs. That's pretty much how it's gonna be with the rest of the team as well, including Pterhowl. There's gonna be a "one-off" with him before we see the final colors for him. The final colors will be the ones put through production before the initial release of Pterhowl himself to the public. Even so, there's still those out there who'll buy the original figure only to paint it how the see fit. Others will just leave it be (for various and obvious reasons). I'm sure Cang will make Pterhowl look good in his final colors before his initial release..

Have you seen the red and black stegsarow?

Wow amazing. Gave me some ideas for new poses as well I must be lucky then my bow or whip can be held while arms completely horizontal

This is going to sound crazy… but have we ever seen a Horizon-style digibash of this or Thunderking? I might have forgotten somewhere in 700 pages, but I would be very interested to see how they would wear the white, blue, and yellow. I'd do it myself but I do not have the talent.

holy moly that looks incredible and unique. majestic, even!

Left word on Cang's weibo about adding the red to the legs. Let's hope they got the message. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who mentioned the same thing on there. And I think we may end up with the possibility of news on the 4th dino come May (not sure when, yet)..

Hi MokiMoki. Unfortunately, my Stegs' arms are not strong enough to hold the weight of the crossbow/tail whip. The pictures show the maximum height the arms can be lifted with the crossbow/tail whip.
Oh well, but look at that magnificent creature! .

These new colors are more accurate to g1 toy Swoop, but for somecreasin my first thought was that he was trying to cosplay as Starscream.

I don't think there's gonna be a blue rendering version coming from Cang. Asked them last time if there was gonna be a blue version later on and in not so many words, I was told that most likely not. It would've been nice to have a blue for those who wanted it, but oh well. Though blue may be one of my favorite colors (out of 6 total), I dig red better. It's just a shame I missed the blue version of GCreations Hammer (Slag) when it came out. I have their blue version of Blade (Swoop), but I didn't know anything about Hammer until I saw a post recently where some had their Shuraking with both blue versions of Hammer and Blade attached in combined mode. I'm hoping one day, I'll be able to track me down a copy of blue Hammer..
While I like how Pterhowl currently looks color wise, I agree with you that there should be at least some color on the legs, even if the red is brought back into the mix. I'm sure that wouldn't hurt the balance of colors for this guy. He looks too good to mess up..

I have all the GP Dinobots in their G1 colors, so I like it a bit different. Or at least, I don't mind it.
piman
Hmm it's a hard choice. I have the blue gigapower swoop. So I lean to have red cang swoop.
But let's see the blue rendering version.
Doom Slayer
I know
I like to see the different views people have. It's refreshing.

I feel the tampos on the cons did enough to break up the colors, and I'm certainly hopeful these will be refined before release, as well.
I'm just making my 2 cents known, in case they are looking for feedback.
Doom Slayer
Well, since this is a 3D render, I'm sure they will start finetuning it. On the other hand, their Predacons did kind of work with the big blocks of solid G1 color.
axisvega
I don't hate it, but I feel like the more intricate designs from cang don't work with the big blocks of solid g1 color. Needs some red stripes or something on the legs, at least
Doom Slayer
The colours fit the overal aesthetic while still having a bit of that G1 feel. Swoop/Pterhowl has the biggest difference, but even then it still looks good.
TheLastPrime2893
That wouldn't be a bad thing, would it? One would hope not..
Nihiluis
I am happy they cut back on the red. However I gotta gut feeling we all are gonna be buying the red and black re colors
Nihiluis
Glad they cut back on the red.

Stegs can attest to that, especially in shin mode. Then again, it might be nothing more than a couple twists and turns between modes. I just realized we have yet to see the silver prototype before seeing the pre and final colors. I hope the first half of D-Spider looks good in color, given he'll be the fist that connects to the arm in combined mode. D-Spider should be at least golde, silver and black given Volcanicus had gold knuckle dusters and fingernails..
