Transformers Columbia, a Facebook fan page, has provided the first official in and out of package images of the upcoming Masterpiece Grimlock rerelease, an exclusive from Toys R Us, courtesy of group member
Felipe León Nájera.

Grimlock comes with his blaster, sword and crown. From what the pictures show, there seems to be no changes to the mold or it's deco, and only the packaging is affected. It's now made to match the Masterpiece redesign after Acid Storm and Soundwave created a new numbered series of packaging.

I always wanted to sign in just to gripe about how shiatty these positions are on proff photos. i SWEAR they do it to troll the fan base. like that sword is CLEARLY in the wrong hand, in fact it prolly took more work to put it in grimlocks left hand than fititng the plug onto his right.. so why do that???

They hire professional photographers, last I checked. They're not Hasbro employees, so they wouldn't know how to pose him.

I'm happy with my previous Hasbro MP Grimlock, but those mistransformed pics make me LOL. :lol:

if they were going to repackage cheap tiny wee dudes, Beast Hunters Divebomb might have been a better choice, since he's a pretty decent mini-Swoop

why hire a professional photographer when the end result looks unprofessional? sent them the instruction sheet, or maybe even a youtube video of someone transforming it, if you're not going to have your own employee on hand to do the transforming

Swoop is Strafe, even though Strafe was named that because he wasn't close enough to Swoop... man, you don't suppose that'll be a permanent name from now on, do you?

Someone totally needs to digibash that Grimlock as Trypticon.

ginormous grimlock! good call on a trypticon! he even has a spikey back thing going on.

I'm quite taken by the Mashers now that I see more of them. I still like the style of the Marvel ones more, but at least I can see how these would be cool to have as a kid compared to some other AOE toys aimed at the younger market.

edit: shoulda called them Action Mashers though

20 inches... yet it appears to have zero articulation in anything other than its robot arms.

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Thu Apr 24, 2014 6:07 pm

might have a head swivel?

but so what? this is the huge one shown at toyfair where you just grab him and twist him and he pops up. the money is for the size and the gimmick, which would probably mess up if there were any other moving parts. kids'll love it for a short amount of time!
