He is a dual-homage to both Dinobot Magma-Type from Transformers: Super Link (Japanese Energon) in Dino mode and Activators Fireblast Grimlock from Transformers Animated in Robot Mode (and name).

Courtesy of Autobase Aichi we have some new images of Takara Tomy's upcoming retailer exclusive Fireblast Grimlock. The images of the figure come from a store display, and give us a good in-hand look at the figure and his packaging. Check him out below:

I can't wait to get mine, though as soon as I do that green is coming off.

that thing is really ugly

Im skipping this one. They really should have gone for the blue G2 repaint instead. It would have sold better. Now they'll probably come out with Zenith Forge and Iron Factory sets in red to make him look halfway decent.

Highly unlikely I'll get this one. I don't think I'd want another Grimlock on my shelf as it wort of waters down the awesomeness of the character.

That deco is so awesome. Red totally suits Grimlock's intense rage and fury. :KREMZEEK:

What color LED does he use? I hate it when they use green or blue plastic but put a red LED behind it...

That Optimus riding Grimlock is gonna be a thing now, everyone's gonna be doing it.

I really really like the shade of yellow they used for the sword and shield.

News Credits: 650 · by **ScottyP** » Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:43 pm

When I get mine, Dinobot Magma Type will ride it, not Optimus.

Lol
But couldn't you have chosen a Prime that's better looking in alt-mode than helicopter chest Prime? :lol:

I was going for the silly scale, and couldn't get to Legends OP.
