Wow, that's impressive. Unless they botch the colors &/or tolerances, I have zero complaints here.

Ok. That size comparison with the hasbro one sealed it. This is gonna be my Grimlock. The FOC look fits in with the FP dino's (my hasbro FOC Grim is in there) but this guy looks awesome. Just need some coloured shots.

Did Planet X make his back look like this, I wonder.

If they did, I know as least one person who wouldn't approve:

Holy....

I know Generations Grimlock compresses down a fair bit when going to dino mode, but that size difference is extraordinary.

I'm not going to pretend that the Generations figure is by any means a bad one, but I'm really glad I held off getting it now.

So who wants to buy my Takara Grimlock ? =X

It has a much nicer paint job! :grin:

Am I imagining it, or does this guy have a poseable tail?

looks like 2 points of articulation and it splits down the middle.

I had to get a new keyboard before replying because the old one was covered in drool.

Bravo, Planet X! :APPLAUSE:

This figure is looking better with every picture that comes out.

I love the fact that we're getting varied styles from Planet X, Fansproject and Toyworld. It really does cater to various needs. TW is going for the G1 homage, PX is going for the FoC look and FP have got this nice unique balance between the two.

So far I've been picking up the FP figures as they suit my tastes and collection the most, but I'm not afraid to mix'n'match (as long as colours are similar). What with FP Grimlock looking a little underwhelming (early days though), this one is definitely my backup option.

I love FoC Grimlock, it's the best Grimlock so far outside of the MP version, and for me he really works alongside my FP figures. If this guy's colours match the Takara version then I think I'll get him.

Wow....I think I will now have 3 Grimlocks without any place in my current displays. Maybe it's time to create a Grimlock only display...

dope, i've been waiting on the grimlock reveals to see which dinobots im gonna roll with....planet X it is.

side note, what FOC bot is planet X gonna do next or are they gonna branch out??

Hopefully they'll do WFC Warpath, the Insecticons (including some of the generic Insecticons that attacked you in swarms), the Leapers, Voyager versions of WFC/FOC Prime and Megatron, or an actually good FoC Bruticus (or maybe new limbs for the Microblaze Onslaught). Or if we're really, really lucky, a Titan scale TRYPTICON.

Titan, no. Supreme, yes. WFC Trypticon was Omega Supreme's counterpart, so a Planet X Trypticon ought to size up to Genesis. FOC Metroplex was enormous compared to Trypticon.

Well he was big enough to house an entire level inside in WFC, so Trypticon is still pretty damn big. (Although Supreme class would scale well with MakeToys Utopia).

My point is that WFC Trypticon is the height of WFC Omega Supreme, to a Planet X version out to be comparable in size to Genesis instead of Titan Metroplex.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I just could have sworn he was bigger. Plus, outside of the non-canon appearance in the end credits, I don't think we ever see Omega Supreme and Trypticon duke it out.

We do at least see them stand before each other in the game's opening sequence.

Though, like Omega Supreme, Trypticon reconfigures into a spaceship (the Nemesis, in the second game), so there's another similarity.

Trypticon's remains were also a level in RotDS. Dude's definitely city-sized when not in dinosaur mode.

I'd buy a good WFC Trypticon regardless of size class, but if he were 2 feet tall like Metroplex, I shudder to think how pricey the figure would be.
