For me, I'd like to see him in RiD15 colours.

Why not both?

I don't have a Universe of Henkei Dinobot, but this guy would be a decent and cost effective stand in for Dinobot. While the dino mode is all wrong, the robot mode is a pretty good match for Dinobot. Tall and thin with long limbs while still beefy and intimidating.

Hey lookit, he has basic articulation! thus making it the only figure from this line worth buying.

Cyber Megatron has also the very same articulation, just the shouders aren't "natural" as Grimlock's due to the transformation. Also, Megatron's hip joints are WAY stronger, but too much spaced per click; Grimlock's smooter so we can "cheat" them.

Oh, and Megatron comes with... a GUN!

Because my wallet says so.

Being him a T-Rex, why not a "Transmetal Megatron", just like that "FoC Grimlock with BW Megatron head"?

As for "Cyber Battalion Dinobot"... That gives me an idea.




Yes, this is a KO BW Dinobot with Hardhead legs... or a KO BWN Hardhead with Dinobot's robot and beast heads!
And no, Grimlock cannot hold those weapons normally because they are "half-pegs". I've used a piece of paper for proper holding.

Now a bit more of size comparsions. I shoulkd have posted these before, but it was too late and I was too tired yesterday to do so...

First with some Age of Extinction bots
- With Evasion Mode Prime (from the 2 pack) and Evasion Mode Optimus with DX09 Armor add-on

- With Strafe and Scorn

- With Slug and Slash

- With Grimlock himself. Yes, the Cyber grimlock can hold AoE's Grimmy mace and no I don't own the Leader class for comparsion... yet.



Now with some Prime/Beast Hunters...
- With Transformers Prime RiD Rumble (Or frenzy, you choose ) and Vehicon

- With Transformers Prime RiD Bulkhead and BH Whellijack

- With Transformers Prime First Edition Prime and Prime RiD Ultra Magnus, Sir!

- With Transformers Prime First Edition Arcee and Beast Hunters Smokescreen

- With Beast Hunters Vertebreack and Skystalker

- With Voyager and Beast Fire Predaking

Now some comparsions with RiD15 Strongarm and Steeljaw in their alternative modes, as well as Cyber Megatron in tank mode... as a placehold for Megatronus? You choose.


Unfortunately, the T-rex mode legs have no functional knees...


BONUS!
Grimlock, transform to Dino Mode so we can ride you into battle!


And now with "Steeljoe" in his "secret" Mario Kart mode!
(Just transform his legs back to vehicle mode in robot mode)

Well damn, I now need that Grimlock so I can get a customizer to paint him up in his RID colors.

So that's Megs AND Grimlock I want now.

Steeljaw in Mario Cart mode...

That alone, make the figure worth owning!

Is it better than X Brawn driving himself?

Well, there's lots and lots of bots who drive themselves so yeah, it's better.

In America, however, X-Brawn's head would be in the front passenger seat instead of the driver's seat.

william-james88 wrote:Is it better than X Brawn driving himself?

Yes, as Steeljaw still have his hands and tail avaliable, just like an upside-down gerwalk mode.

Now, to finish out, some more size comparsions...

First and foremost, let's start with some Combiner Wars TFs
- Both Cyber Battalion Grimlock and Megatron with CW Leader Megatron

- With CW Superion (Well, sort of...) and Powerglide


Being this a "child line", why not compare him with another "children toys"?
- With Total Heroes Mr. Freeze and Despicable Me Stuart with Fart Dart Launcher

- With LEGO Hero Factory Brain Attack Aquagon and TF Construct-Bots Soundwave (With the wings placed in his back instead of arms)

- With Playmates TMNT Donnatelo and SRC Gokaio- I mean, Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legendary Megazord


Now with randomic collectibles
- With Beast Wars Transmetal Scavenger and Animated Blackarachnia

- With NECA Gordon Freeman and S.I.C. Kamen Rider Ichigo

- With SHFiguarts DeluKnight and NECA "G14" Godzilla

- With Sazer-X DX Shark Leaguer

- And, to wrap things out, with Star Wars Black Series ROTJ Luke and Diamond Select Deadpool... being a Deadpool of sorts.

I was just gonna say that until I saw you beat me to it!

Now I need to suggest something else..., BW Grimlock dalmatian dots? Either that or the Fireblast Grimlock Activator from Animated.

Grimmy is indeed a nice size Voyager, and Megs is slightly bigger than I thought he'd be. I'm seriously tempted to get him and find a customizer to paint him up in RID colors as I'm still disappointed that Hasbro hasn't released a Voyager RID Grimlock.

Are you willing to pay import prices for him?

To be honest I'm hoping stores like BBTS get him in, as he'd be $28 or so shipped from Robot Kingdom. I guess in the grand scheme of things that isn't an awful price though is it?

Maybe if I can sell a couple things I'll break down and do it.

Not a bad price for something you really want. And in any case, if BBTS does get these, it might be at a higher price to cover their importing costs, you might as well import it yourself.

for you, that may not be too bad a price. Where I am, before shipping the Takara versions of warrior class transformers are that price, so I think you could make it work.

Here 2 I immediately tought about:

ROTF deluxe Breakaway:





Mr Herp-a-Derp himself, Armada Sideswipe:





And while I'm at it let's go for a non Transformers transforming toy, TMNT Mutation something Splinter. I have him and he's awesome!

I'm just saying it could be worse is all.

Eh, that seems kinda similar to what he's already got.

Courtesy of weibo user FOK伏特的玩具世界, we have a nice selection of in-hand images for the Cyber Series Megatron figure, revealed last March, and first seen in the flesh plastic in April. Check them out below, as we find out just how much articulation this new class/line/series can bring to the game!
