Leo Prime has stickers!

Dammit! Between that and the fact that he looks pretty awesome even without any stickers applied I'm having a real hard time not pre-ordering him now.

I think this is appropriate

Well, I'm getting Grimlock. As if that was ever up for debate...

[MasterSoundBlaster]

Yep, definatly getting Grimlock. Now I'm wondering if Takara is gonna give him game-accurate colors since Hasbro is having trouble handling that with the FoC line.

But Grimlock is lacking some red! He's too yellow/gold to me. It looks as though I'm gonna have to take up a repainting lesson just to give Grimlock that red waist he needs and some blacker theighs and hands.

[Nemesis Destron]

Well IMO Grimlock is not bad looking. I'd guess those that are disapointed with the current representation of this Dinobot would rather have a animated version or a classics version over this...?

It could have been much worse though I can't imagine how. Someone did mention a G2 homage would look alright I think. But as usual I'm curious what Takara's will look like and if it will out-shine Hasbro's.

I just cant believe people want a voyager Grimlock so badly they are blind by the ugliness of this figure. The robot mode looks like animated Grimlock with a classics style head. And the dino mode looks deformed, kind of like a retard Barney with a skinny body, fat head and fat tail. I know some people are going to disagree with me, but this figure is not that cool. Blaster on the other hand is really awesome. Maybe a 3rd party add on kit can save Grimlock by giving his dino mode.

Me Grimlock awesome!.

He's Game accurate, and he's a Voyager. What more do you want?

He's bound to share similarities with animated Grimlock since they are both based on the same character will have certain identifying features that are the same or very similar. He looks awesome and bad-ass as he should.

Totally a buy.



And for the record I really like animated Grimlock. He was one of the better molds in that line.
So the fact he looks like him is a good thing.

We're aware of it's flaws; we're not stupid.

Because his toy's robot mode looks nothing like the game. Nothing. At all. Nope. Totally different.

with a skinny body, fat head and fat tail.

No argument about the tail, but what's wrong with his head?

[Mindmaster]

His chest/dinosaur head glows.



Man, he just towers over FOC Optimus!

With that said, can't wait for Grimlock and Blaster to hit shelves. Fantastic additions to my classics shelf!

If anything, FoC Grimlock is by and FAR the best Classics Grimlock we've gotten so far. It SHAMES the actual Classics mold by ACTUALLY looking like Grimlock should (obviously MP Grimlock is in a class of his own, being amazing in all respects). Truly, aside from the tail, I fail to understand how people are having issues with this beyond those who have to bitch for bitching's sake.

But come on people, it's a transforming toy, you have to make a concession somewhere! Would you rather have FoC Grimlock have stupidly skinny legs? Aside from the tail (and the gaping hole in the chest, but you'll never notice that while he's posed on your shelf and you know it), the beast mode is spot on, and the robot mode is literally perfect. Maybe it could use a little panel lining here and there, but there are a ton of really nice paint apps already! His torso is spot-on and that LED gimmick is glorious!
