If they're making it in a show-accurate size, does this mean it might be taller the MP Prime and Megs? Ohh, looks like my Unicron toy'll get another opponent. :grin:

That is, if Hasbro makes one too. I can't afford most of the Takara figures The only Takara TFs I own are Liger Jack and Flame Convoy.

well i cant speak for megatron but prime and starscream arent show acurate sizes, i mean they're more or less the same height in the cartoon and yet the toys make starscream a midget..lol

so i wouldnt hold out hope..lol

but hmmmm....i'm surprised they didnt pick soundwave to be the next MP, seemed they were going that route but hey, least it isnt some crappy character from one of the other series..lol

You know, besides all the fan demand, I almost feel as if there could have been a better choice of a character for the next masterpiece, but that doesn’t mean I wont gladly accept a MP Grimy into my collection.

Animated Grimlock, you suck. MP Grimlock, your awesome.

This is going to be one of THE most intresting figures ever!

Without having to relate it to an actual item, they realy have no limits to the amount of detail they can add!

Now, I just wonder if and what extrad they'll include!

Though I love Grimlock I've passed onb every Masterpiece so far due to inane prices, so I'll pass on this as well.

Now let's see .... what were the old comments against Grimloack?

He couldn't be repainted into a different characer? Rodimus was more iconic so he'd be done first? They did Skywarp so we'd likely be seeing Thundercracker next?

Gotta say, I'm glad it's big Grim. I actually collect transforming G1-inspired dino versions of this guy so this toy is a ust for me!

All of you need to stop soiling yourselves, this forum is starting to smell of poop D:

Besides, haven't we been speculating this for some time now? Its at least cool to have it confirmed- now all that's left is for us to worry if it'll be released internationally or not (half joking, but I wouldn't be too surprised...)

So MP08 will be Thundercracker then.

This should be interesting, will he be as good as MP01-02 or will he suffer from some issues like MP05?

I'm just concerned that we might run into problems with rust and breaking parts like we did with MP Megatron whom I still haven't opened due to those concerns.

Long live the MP line! Grimlock deserves to be released alongside so may others to come! Well done Tak/Tomy. :APPLAUSE:

No, but he could be repainted two times (blue and turqoise) + if the first version will be not even closely relative to the original + I can believe there will be the matt grey and the metallic version + the battle damage version of Hasbro...

Oh yeah,don't forgot if Hasbro wants to repaint him into Trypticon... :P

It's cool that we are getting a Dinobot as a Masterpiece, but seriously, the original toy is already show accurate. I would really been pleased with something else.

I can't wait to get another masterpiece!!!!

Just hope they don't mess his colors up on the first run like poor Starscream...

This is fantastic news! Boy oh boy oh boy!

I have all the MP figures so far, and Grimlock as No. 6, I just can't f'ing wait!

If Grimlock is even 50% as great as the past masterpieces are (No, i didn't have any rust problems with megs), this will be a fantastic figure.

I can't image what sweet stuff they will improve on from the original!

The only thing I would imagine they could improve on would be the size & the articulation. I mean, if they want him show accurate, there's not much they'd be able to do with his transformation, so better articulation would just about be the only other thing they could do.

That's what alot of people have said for the other 3 molds, and look what we have ended up with. I am expecting something special!

Shoot can't for this MP Galvatron!

...

yeah for real, I visited my favorite toy shop and the guy told me this was confirmed and next afterwards was Thundercracker. I was in shock so when I got home I checked out Seibertron and BAM there it was Grimlock for the next MP =].

Then you missed out on some of the best figures ever released. I Thought the same at first about them and wasnt buying them , then i got the Hasbro Prime and it blew me away.. Now i have them all except for Ultra Magnus that im looking for if anyone has one :P ill trade a MISB Ransack for it , seriously :grin:. But you dont have to buy them , you can trade stuff for them , that how i got all of mine except for Megs and Prime.

I cant wait to get Grimlock , i was hoping what i heard a long time ago was true and today i see it is :). This is Killer and about time we get another Autobot and not another Con.. Though i think Thundercracker may be put out for sale before Grimlock since its easy to throw a new coat of paint on the screamer mold.

They have somewhat of a pattern going by having a new mold followed by a repaint/remold. Thundercracker will probably have a new face gimmick by Skywarp.

Not to rain on anyones parade, but don't forget the last hot and really, really true "news" coming from that source. (Though that one was probably a misinterpretation, there is a red Starscream (Toshiba) after all, and Megatron and Optimus were rereleased at the same time as complete versions, just in the Revoltech line.)

I find it a bit weird, that a Chinese site posts something looking like an excerpt from a Japanese magazine, without giving the source or us having seen further pictures from that magazine (some people are bound to have what ever magazine that's supposed to be).
The text next to the picture doesn't mention Transformers even once, it goes on and on about Gundam.

I for my part will wait for something a bit more official.

I'm excited to see what this Masterpiece Grimlock is gonna be like.

I hope it's not as bad as MP Prime.
Re: Masterpiece Grimlock Confirmed? (610083)
Posted by Autobot032 on January 21st, 2008 @ 5:35am EST
If this ends up being impressive, I'll buy him.
If he ends up being another redesign (Starscream...), I probably won't.

Still, without 100% concrete evidence, I won't get excited just yet and I certainly won't make a judgment call either.

Patience is a virtue, and I'm willing to wait.
