Looks like there will be some repaint figs from other lines after all. This legends class figure reappeared again in the Cyberverse line, suspiciously colored to match a certain Dinobot. This figure is found in the Yahoo Japan auctions.

Would this be the first few waves of repaints heading our way? Only time will tell!

The auction can be seen here

I still have the shared exclusive of this set on preorder at BBTS. Kinda bummed though as I was expecting the Dinocons all to be in one boxset...

Very interesting. And now Minicons/Microns are just part of Cyberverse? Hmmm.

SO is this still going to be the shared online exclusive, or will we see it in brick and mortar?

Let's name the others Growler (Slag), Dummy (Sludge), Flystop (Swoop), and Spikeosaur (Snarl). Seriously, if you're going to have dinobots, get it right >_< it's not like they lost the rights to Grimlock, that'd be like losing the rights to Optimus Prime!

Not seeing why people wouldn't buy this. It generally does reflect Grimlock, but not in name, and is a different paint scheme than has been previously released on the fig.

Just saying. Some will, some won't, it is the way of the world.

In Armada Dualor was an Awesome mini-con not a Grimlock clone >:[]

Cybertron Scattorshot seems like a bigger version of the Dualor I know and love.

Mini-Con Grimlock OWNS his previous version. oh something shiney....

Great, like we need minicon repaints in cyberverse packaging clogging the shelves where other cyberverse figures could be that I actually care about. Why have minicons not died out yet?

Because they always sell out.

I don't know about that. My Kmart still has those minicon exclusives sets last time I checked.....but then it is Kmart and who really toy hunts at Kmart.

But still, it's been like 5 years since Cybertron, the last real line that Minicon's belonged too. Aside from collectors, I don't think kids even know what a minicon is for unless there are a bunch of kids still kickin' around their unicron trilogy toys.

I guess there is PCC, but they were mostly a big flop with collectors (personally loved them) and so I don't see many people buying minicons for them.

I'm guessing those shared exclusives fell through even though they already started producing them and had to find another way to push them out. Pure speculation there.

Wait, you're telling me my Grimlock can own a tiny version of himself?!?!

Want.

I guess I've missed out on the meaning of the "Cyberverse" term. What do they mean by that, anyway?

by **OptiMagnus** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 6:25 pm

This is probably another shared exclusive, as the "Cyberverse" logo is absent, much like other shared exclusives have a very generic packaging.
It's an obvious homage to Grimlock, but I doubt it has anything to do with...anything.

It might not be a Cyberverse figure, but it's still under the DOTM banner.

It still is based off of Grimmylock.

I still think he'll have nothing to do with the story.

No argument there. More Non-Screen Characters that won't sell!

I'm picking this up so my Grimlock has a mini-me reguardless of if he is on screen or not.

I still don't see why people are complaining about some figures getting a name change, I mean, if you know who their supposed to be, then just call them by their real names, nobody's stopping you. 8-|
