Also, I'm on the fence about dino. I don't think they'll replace him, and as tribute to this man, I'm not sure they should.... Wonderful voice acting! Probably a really cool guy in person too. wish I could have met him. Well, I guess, at the end of the day, All you can do is try to move on, I mean, it's a sad loss, but he's in a better place now, and we shouldn't dwell on it. Let's just say he's happy now, and while he was around, He provided us fans with the only bayformer that no-one has a problem with! That's a win win right? Good luck were your going! and thanks for the memories!

Therefore i can not believe in a greater force other than nature controlling our fates. It just doesn't make sense to me.
R.I.P. Francesco Quinn
May you be remembered always.

Awesome idea. Failing that a credit dedication will do at the very least.
I'm imagining the Deluxe Dino will arrive at the beginning of 2012...Maybe when they reveal the figure, a dedication should be present, too.

AWESOME SAUCE!
They can make a special edition, and have a "In memory of" Kind of vibe to it! Same with "The accident" On set. they should and could make a whole bunch of toy sets in memory of past stars....of course, having the whole set would be a bit of a downer... Didn't someone say that that Cyberverse TRU Set with the white Crankcase was Dedicated to the on set accident in some way?

There is a Dino figure in the making, however, it will be named Mirage. Don't hurt me please...

About the Mirage vs. Dino name thing, I'm guessing that, as well as Wheeljack vs. Que, could be just another case of miscommunication in the editing process as with Brawl being called Devastator in the first movie. I don't see why else Hasbro would use a different name for the toy than they used in the movie.

According to the Wiki, Mattel has the rights to produce Ferrari based toys, and the company apparently doesn't want what is essentially their product placement to be named after a Hasbro trademark.

He's been on some episodes of "The Glades" on A&E as a Cuban (I believe) mobster, and also Old El Paso commercials, which is where I first saw him. I had no idea he was Anthony Quinn's son.
RIP
