It is. The torso shape and arms are the giveaway.

It's not about the smarts, it's about the fun. Lots of people back at Toy Fair (all adults) who were demonstrating and trying out that Grimlock toy's transformation were having a ball with it.Rated X wrote:That grimlock has to be the most re tarded transformation ever.

You never know. There might be a number of kids out there who are sentimental enough to want to keep their simple toys forever.Rated X wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It's not about the smarts, it's about the fun.

Im not debating that giving grimlock a spin might be amusing (kind of like the staples "that was easy" button) But my issue is where hasbro is going with this. For every transformer that ends up in a collectors hands, 10 more will end up in a garage sale, thrift shop, or garbage can before Michael bays 5th movie even hits theaters. Hasbro knows this. So little by little we are seeing the dumbing down of figures to save money. In other words, hasbro is done attempting to make highly prized figures that kids will cherish for years. Hasbro is catering to cheap parents who want to buy cheap junk that kids will surely outgrow.

As is the fate of most toys. Go watch Toy Story 3.
I bet Grimlock toys are to this movie what Bumblebee toys were to the last three.Noideaforaname wrote:I'm not really crazy about the sheer number of and emphasis being put on simplistic toys (how many Grimlocks do we need?), but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to try some of them out.
There was that one Toy Story short that had them meeting a fast food children's meal Buzz Lightyear toy, which was very simiplistic in design.Noideaforaname wrote:Getting of topic, but... I'm disappointed Toy Story never did an encounter with "cheap" versions of the main characters. If you've ever tried looking for a "real" Buzz Lightyear toy (with the wings and laser and everything) you'll know there's a billion inferior versions.
