Let me preface this by saying that I like it a lot and will be very glad to get the add-on in.

But, I have to say that dino mode looks like Grimlock either ate too many Insecticons, or is pregnant. :lol:

Well, since he's starting to clog shelves in several places and his price isn't outrageous, plus this kit makes him look tremendously better and the color match is excellent... I think I may have found a reason to buy this doofus.

I'm so impressed with their color matching. It's pretty much perfect.

Looks good. I got this set and the artek gun in my pile of loot. Also got the cretaceous advancement set to give him the best head out there. I spent alot but all the sets combined turns an FOC piece of crap into an awesome classics grimlock. Too bad swoop isnt the same size. I would buy him too if somebody makes a G1 head.

Do the pieces need to detach, or do they remain in place during transformation?

That's how it appeared in many of the pictures. It's one of the reasons this set is one of the best, in my opinion. I'm not averse to parts forming, but when the effort is there to avoid it? I think that's great!

There's a fairly bad quality review which shows how it works:


From the 8:20 mark onwards. It continues into the second part video, but as I said, it's almost unwatchable from the blurriness, shakiness and the figure not being in the shot most of the time. Still, only one out there that I've found so far!

There's actually two way to attach this set. One of which can remain attached but there is an alternate way to attach in bot mode. It comes with a few extra ball joint pieces for what they call classic mode. In this way, you detached the little T-rex arms and there is a little ball joint arm that you attach in their place. This allows you to attach the belly cover pieces directly to where the T-Rex arms attach. Then there is another ball joint piece that plugs into the holes on the belly cover pieces where you can attach the T-Rex arms. In the classic mode it can't be transformed.

Eh, I want it to be able to transform and remain attached. I see why they did it that way, though. Pretty neat idea.

Thanks guys. :)

I picked up this set and it really improves Grimlock. There are two things to note about it, though.

First, the swivel joints near the balljoints were so tight that they made a nails-on-chalkboard-would-be-better squeak when trying to move them. If that happens to yours, unscrew them and take some sandpaper to the outside of the peg. That fixed mine.

And second, make sure the smaller, dark gray flaps are flipped up against each other when going into dino mode. If you don't, the dino belly will fold up and kind of look right, but it won't sit as compact.
