Abstract
We study different profiles of the distribution of the top forward-backward asymmetry, depending on the invariant mass of the t tbar pair. We show that they can be reproduced by one or more light colour octets, while keeping moderate departures of the t tbar cross section and invariant mass distributions with respect to the Standard Model predictions at Tevatron and LHC.
