That is just plain beautiful. Grimlock looks like the toon, new and old, with the proper overall position but with proportions suggesting the endearingly inaccurate Godzilla of the original. The sword looks like something War Within Grimlock would happily wield. Those who insist on G1 holiness have Classics and G1. Assuming 'bot mode holds together, we have a fun Grimlock toy. I hadn't realized it would be Voyager. I wish we could tell its size!

Looks fun and refreshing though there seem to be a few bots with an underbite in this series.

I think he looks great! Definitely will need two of these, one for robot mode and one metal munching dino mode. :D

That... is just so totally amazing. =P~ It's looks spot on from the show, although the tail seems a tad stubby somehow. Still, Grimlock and the other Dinobots are so bought when they come out, even if I have to fight a 5 year old to get 'em. :grin:

A definite buy, but I'd still like to see some pics of robot mode. It was a big mistake to push the animated line back in my opinion.

I think I'm in love. He just screams Let me loose on some decepticons.

I want him father, I want him. No I do not want a wheelie figure I want that Grimlock!

Grimlock has the coolest sword ever.

an awesome mould.

im not finding the colours as bright as i was hoping, that grey plastic always seems to look a bit washed out, im not sure why, the older G1 greys like that used on doublecross or grotusque seemd to show details better. I wonder if the orange parts are going to be finalised with the metallic gold paint like on the knee area, i hope so. anyway hes still a massive must buy, his apparently simple construction mean i might have a go at some rather bright coloured customisation, im imagining a magma version, all red/black.

hes a voyager as far as indications go so hes going to be bigger than the g1/classics version but probably not that much bigger although in bot mode he could end up quite tall.

I've liked the looks of all of the Animated stuff,
but just from looking at that one picture,
he may be my favorite Animated figure.
Yes, better than Soundwave, and maybe even Leader Megatron...

BIG PROPS to Hasbro, for making him Voyager class, and not a little deluxe.
This is a figure that I may buy 3 of... One to keep MIB,
and 2 to display in each mode.

Do you call this "Awesome Sauce"? Or "Awesome blossom, extra awesome"?

Yes and yes.

That enourmously goofy underbite just ruins the aesthetics for me x_x The rest of the Dinobots look terrific, but sadly I'll have to pass on Grimlock unless I can get ahold of some tools and fex his heads to my liking :\

The underbite works on Bulkhead, and that's about it.

And I've been saying to myself I'm only gettting Prime and Starscream but the more pictures I see of the animated stuff, the more figures I want.

Grimlock looks amazing. Quite possibly best Grimlock ever.

Grimlock is the best looking figure in animated as good as leader megatron, I'll be picking him up as soon as I see him.

Doesn’t look half bad, the sword is pretty well detailed.

The sword looks like something War Within Grimlock would happily wield.


I agree. The flame weapons on these new dinobots are wonderful. He looks mean too! LSC Grimlock would definately approve. I'm also glad that Animated is keeping with the theme of the Dinobots not being totally on the same page as the rest of the Autobots. I wonder if we'll see this new Grimlock inspire this new, unsure prime the same way he did in War Within. We do need Prime with clout.

After seeing that I really am loosing hope for this figure. Those arms don’t look very well articulated.

The arms are mistransformed in the pic.

Posted by Nekoman on March 10th, 2008 @ 1:03pm CDT
I think if Transformed better I’d like it more, but the shoulders don’t look too promising, I seriously hope there’s going to be some ball joints in there.

Even the T-Rex has a Leno chin... Count me in the minority that thinks this fig looks ridiculous.

Looks like an awesome grimlock!!!

So are the dinobots going to available in a couple of sizes or is that privilege reserved for Prime, Megs and Bulkhead?

Me grimlock like.
I like him even more now that i've seen his bot mode. The dinobots are must haves now where's swoop.

I certainly hope the arms are mistransormed, 'cause that totally ruins the figure.

Posted by Omega Charge on March 10th, 2008 @ 10:10pm CDT
And with the dino head looking like it's hanging down the back, the alt mode's probably better than the robot, but then, doesn't Grimmy spend most of the time in alt mode?

Posted by Sowndwave76 on March 11th, 2008 @ 12:31am CDT
Yeah, I hope the arms are mis-transformed...
But the bot mode is still really cool imo.
I REALLY like the simplicity of these figures--
Areas where you'd expect to see detailed molding is left flat and smooth;
just has such a bold look.

I wonder how his bot mode will look next to Prime's Deluxe bot mode...

what's wrong with the arms ? and is there a colored pic of him in bot mode ?
Re: First Images of Animated Voyager Grimlock In Color! (653104)
Posted by Rodentus Prime on March 11th, 2008 @ 7:34am CDT
Yes, the arms are mistransformed!
Also the dino head in bot mode is too - see the unpainted prototype for how it shoud be.

Why can't this be out now? :MAD:

The first figure from this line I'm getting WILL be, Grimlock, Swoop, and Soundwave, no questions asked.

Then your probably going to have to wait awhile longer to get Animated figures as to everyone else because I’m not sure if Grimlock is part of wave one.
