If nobody can get it right for you, do it your damn self. Let's see how well you fair at it.

Breakdown 2099 wrote:Grimlock's robot mode is pleasing to me, his alt mode however, isn't. I'm not going to say anything about what I would do to improve, because I wouldn't be able to. He'll be displayed in robot mode, so the alt mode isn't much of an issue. I like the character, it's just a shame that the other four don't get as much HasTak lovin'. A whole set would've been fantastic, oh well, c'est la vie

$100+? US maybe, rest of the world try $195 to $245. (based on Voyagers priced at $39 to $49). I'd love to live in the US. I'd have twice the collection I do now.
But lets not digress, I've got the Ravage mold and i don't find him aesthetically appealing. That's why he's left in his case while his brethren are out to play. I don't recall seeing all 5 Dino's since G1, of course, I'm probably wrong, but I just can't remember. I wonder if there's a reason for that?

Thank you!

Listen if you don't like it, don't but it. No need to be ranting so much

Maybe they should have stuck with the classic G1 transformation sequence. Was there really a need to "neo-ize" the transformation ? He's a T-Rex, not a new car.

And I totally forgot about the wings. Damn he looks naked now to me without them. Eventually sombody will do the Dinobots right.

MP Grimlock was an update in my opinion. The ony problem with it was that it wasnt voyager sized. MP figures are for coffee tables in a man-cave, not large scale season 1 collections.

If I-gear were to KO MP Grimlock and shrink it to voyager size, nobody would give a crap about this FOC figure.

This grimlock is something I don't like. It doesn't even look like the game version.

Not to mention that unlike in some of those earlier promo pics he was at leat shiny and all, but now he just looks like dull grey and sand yellow...and proportions are just awry.

For some reason I find it really difficult to say any negative things about hastak or their products here in seibertron. It is just beyond me why some people are like to force-feed me this idea that I shouldn't/can't complain about this one. Everyone is entitled to have their opinion. Besides like some of you say, it is just a toy. So why defend it so hard?

Rhinox23 wrote:For those of you interested, there is the TFP Rage of the Dinobots comic to connect Season 2 and 3 of TFP. This version of Grimlock also closely resembles the comic iteration as well with no wings, chest style, leg style and arms. So, to me they did a great job of giving us a figure of this aligned representation of Grimlock.

I remember reading that one of the decision makers at Hasbro said that he would like to see all of the FOC Dinobots become Voyager toys (from an old thread on here, I'm not going to try and dig it up).

This is not G1 Grimlock. This is not meant to be G1 Grimlock. While it can be used as G1 Grimlock, that's not who it's supposed to be, so stop trying to hold it to the standards of G1 Grimlock. It's a T-rex that turns into a robot by turning its tail into robot legs and its rex legs into robot arms. It's gold and silver and it has a black head with red eyes. What more do you want?

There is seriously no pleasing you, is there?

If I-gear were to KO MP Grimlock and shrink it to voyager size, nobody would give a crap about this FOC figure.

I would, because it would be crazy cheaper than an Igear KO and it much more accurately resembles FOC Grimlock than the MP mold does. I imagine half the people in this thread would say the same thing as me on this point.

Youre points are valid, but this figure has too many astethics of the Animated version for my taste. It's almost more TF Primish than Generations in my opinion. The head is the only thing I really like. Everything else just doesnt suit me. Ive explained my reasons why in previous posts. I think it's ugly. It seems the people who glorify this figure to be the 2nd coming of christ dont like me to be the devil's advocate.

That Bot wrote:Are we looking at the same toy? It's FOC Grimlock to the letter in bot mode, and in T-Rex mode the only shortcoming is how they moved the thrusters/knees to the base of the tail from the back section and had to shorten the tail overall to make it work as a toy. Sure, the colors leave something to be desired, but:

One last note, if FOC Grimlock doesn't sell well (which it looks like he won't be the hotcake I thought he would be) then I think we can kiss the possibility of getting the rest of the Dinobot team goodbye. That would be a shame because their FOC models are AMAZING! Dare I say, even better and more bad ass than their G1 selves. Really, FOC has given us the BEST version of ALL of the Dinobots to date. I hope those of us who played/enjoyed the game and are continuing to enjoy the aligned continuity of TFP, comics, etc. will support this guy so maybe the rest of the Dinobots will see the light of day. I remember reading that one of the decision makers at Hasbro said that he would like to see all of the FOC Dinobots become Voyager toys (from an old thread on here, I'm not going to try and dig it up).

Sorry, but they most likely wont make all the other dinobots no matter how many copies of grimlock you buy. I'm sorry but not all of us see why we should somehow support hasbro. If they do something I like, then I buy it. But seriously, if you thought that they are making all the dinobots, you were punked by some mean individual
Hasbro isn't doing much fan service and hasn't it been mentioned several times that they don't even have a segment called collectors (or adult collectors). If they for some reason would make the whole freaking FOC dinobot team, I promise to buy them all no matter how ugly I find them

Banjo-Tron wrote:Why do people keep jumping on those who for whatever reason do not like the figure? What's wrong with people having different opinions?

I would rather slag off (what is in my opinion) a poorly-designed figure than a bunch of people I know next to nothing about.

Some people dislike this iteration of Grimlock, get over it. You will not convert them.
