I don't read any of the IDW TF comics. I clicked on that wiki link a few days ago. I read about some of the DDJ back story origins. Regarding Grimlock being brain dead.

My questions are. Is Grimlock Permanetly brain dead in the newer 2014 IDW TF comics. What does Grimlock Being Brain dead even mean?
did he die when he became brain dead years ago? Is a brain dead Grimlock a less intelligent one like he was in the 1986 season 3 cartoon? Is there anyway to fix grimlocks brain? is brain dead Grimlock a mindless beast like Savage Noble was from the BM cartoon series?

I haven't read all of the MTMTE comics so I might be off track here - but I presume his brain dead happened during the Last Stand of the Wreckers or immediately after that. Grimlock must have taken the punishment of his life if he fought Overlord.
