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.

Me Grimlock king.... it's freaking awsome.. is he bigger then g1 and classics grimlock ?

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

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:

Me say this definite buy

News Credits: 3 · by **Autobot Jazz** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 5:52 am

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!

That figure is made of awesome. I can't wait to get these.

Grimlock has the coolest sword ever.

by **microclone** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 7:42 am

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.

A thing of beauty on so many levels. AWESOME TO THE EXTREME!

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.

by **CecilValiant** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:27 am

pretty cool figure. i wasnt really into animated figures but after seeing these, i might havve to jump on grimlock and maybe the other dinobots. hope this doesnt ignite wanting ALL of the animated figures as of right now i only collect Classics and Masterpieces. =P
