I'll be adding another MP to the collection

Was hoping for a slightly grittier, badass Grimlock, but this one will do nicely all the same.

I was already sold on Grimlock but that just makes it all the more desirable.

Perfect. Just PERFECT.

Grimlock gets a meh from me. The prototype had me sold. Now that I see the colors I was a bit iffy. Then I realized he has the same tiny thigh syndrome that MP Megatron has and I'm now not interested at all. The rest of the figure is huge and bulky, and then he has twig thighs. $5 says that will be weak point on the figure, aka where he will crumple and topple most at.

Eh, saves me even more money now that I've put off buying anything retail at the moment.

Looks shopped to me...

hmmm.. with slightly more awake/alert eyes it is a little too red.. now ive kinda got my doubts if itll be this bright.. but as with all photos of yet to be released figures... we'll see in time.

my fiance said she thinks it might be a lil orangey-red on the final product..

I foresee you regretting this decision.

Right. With my luck, I'd buy him, open him and then watch as the head collapses and a sign pops out saying I have Aids.

Glad I preordered Grimlock already. He looks awesome!!!

I'd say 'Him Grimlock King' but that doesn't do justice to the figure!
I admit, I hope that Hasbro released one where the gold chest chrome is a more dull yellow like in the show, but I kinda likey the chromed look.
As for Inferno, I love it! I think that red (if it is actually that red) is just perfect for him and I'm glad there's not an overdose of chrome, just a really nice, suitable, mettalic silver paint.

Both figures look awesome! :grin:

Ha! That's OK, you can take solace in knowing that mine will be fine!

The chrome looks great.

I like the light up sword more than I thought I would also.

I'm glad I've got this on pre-order. I'm not so sure about that tiny thigh syndrome, Muffin. Yeah, they do look a bit thin, but I don't think they're gonna be MP Megatron thin. Time will tell, of course, but I'm with GeeKee1, not buying this will lead to years of regret and expensive therapy.

My first thoughts when I saw inferno was it's photo shopped. What if that's true for Grimlock?? If they cut put a sky background, they could edit him to look better-painted.

Man, I never thought I see the day I would shell out $200 for a Transformer, but man, just looking at those pics is making me want to have him badly.

Grimlock looks freakin' sweet! I want him so bad...but won't be able to afford him for a long time.

I see no problems with his thighs, they're thciker looking than his G1 version in comparison, and nowhere near as scrawny as Megatron's.

Inferno looks good, I'll wait to see pics of the actual fig before I decide if the increased price is worth it.
