My Fans Toys STOMP arrived this weekend. What an excellent piece. Pardon the really crappy cell phone pics, I'll try to take better ones with my camera later tonight....

Congrats!
It looks like FT have taken everything they've learnt during production of their previous Dinobots and delivered their best one.
All that's required now is FT Grimlock and MP08 can finally be put out to pasture.

Exactly... if they are peaking when they release their version of Grimlock, it'll be AWESOME!

Just got word that TFS-Express have shipped my Stomp and Forager. Hopefully they'll be here tomorrow.

The initial lineart wasn't great but the grey prototype looked fine and I've little doubt it'll look even better in color.
Misterscruff,
I just got my e-mail for Forager as well.
Two major character groups finished in the next couple of days =

I'll definitely get Gears but will probably pass on Swerve unless they can only be bought as a 2-pack.
****ing hell, he's even got the "Changing Gears" expression.
I'll pass on Swerve but Gears is so bought.
Congrats, Sardo.
I want to invest in the FT Dinobot line but Sever's face is the pits.

Scale comparisons,

I'm going to have to pass on Gears even if he has the perfect QC or just plain awesome. I always hated him because he just looked weird. He did not look like the rest of the Autobots because he never had a separate head or neck.

There's many good theories on earlier posts (yesterday) that seam very plausible. Porsche might be very hard to work with for those reasons and Takara can't do anything.
Why no 3P company has done a Jazz is beyond me though. They don't have to go trough any legality whatsoever.

I need to order Stomp. Thought I had him preordered but guess I never did it. Can't believe the Dinobots are almost complete!

FT Kickback arrived this morning 
It's my favorite of the 3 as there's far less back kibble in robot mode than the others and I also really like his tommy gun.
In addition to Kickback's extras ( gun, clear chest piece and energon cubes ) there's also a diecast headpiece included for Bombshell's robot mode head as a few people had issues with the original plastic one breaking.
I now just need MMC's Rumble & Frenzy and that's my Decepticons done unless FT decide to do Triple Changers and/or Constructicons.

My Forager and Stomp arrived today. I think Forager is my favourite of FT's Insecticons too. I really like the matte black finish which works well with the chrome wings (and I usually hate chrome!). The facechanging gimmick is a bit of a pain as once you fold the bug face shield up into the head out of the way, it's really difficult to get it back down again. On mine there's also a slight gap between the robot face and the helmet because there isn't enough clearance for the shielded face when it's tucked away. Still it's only a minor complaint. I'm a bit underwhelmed with Stomp if I'm honest, but I've not transformed him yet so that could help my impression of him.
Edit: Decided to put an order in for the Ocular Max Ravage after seeing how well it fits with everything in your pics thecorsair. I thought I'd be good with Hasui's official one but the OM one scales really well.

I agree that the face changing is a bit fiddly, it took a bit of pressure before I could get the face shield folded all the way back so the robot face could sit in the correct position.
MMC Ravage is one of my favorite figures of the last year, the only problem with the scale is that it makes the official Rumble and Frenzy look a bit silly.
MMC's Frumble mold is their next in the 1:1 cassette series and will give them a robot mode that's the same height as MP Bumblebee which is consistent with the original comics and at least some of the cartoon episodes.
A bigger Laserbeak and Buzzsaw won't work as well in a MP display as they'll be too big to perch on Soundwave or Megatron's arm but they might still be fun figures.

Sweet pics, corsair. FT absolutely crushed the Insecticons. I have its version of Bombshell, I'm waiting on its Shrapnel and Kickback.

I doubt they will do all of them, but if they get the MP treatment, then of course I will get them all
Thank you.
I'm being charged $27 for shipping. I don't think it's too bad.
I simply have not orderd there before, but I'll give it a go.

Thanks
Overall I'm very pleased with the job Fans Toys have done, but I haven't completely ruled out getting the Badcube or MMC ones as well to represent the clones.
