Upscaled KO Grimlock

Postby Tsutsukakushi » Sat Jul 19, 2014 6:09 am

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... mlock.html

If this is being sold at a KO price of around $50 to $70. with a MP styled art box. Then I might consider buying it. My guess is this will sell for over $130.

Why can't these guys upscale Stuff, I actually want. Like Upscaling a 2.0 Cyclonus into a Eight inch Ultra Robot. Upscaling a Titanium 6 inch Rodimus Prime into a Ten inch robot Leader scaled TF toy.

don't know how to do that. If someone wants to give a quick tutorial on how to post pics in threads. I'll try it.

kinda worried about getting yelled out for stealing bandwith from elsewhere or getting accused of hot-linking. most of the info I get is from TFW.

This oversized KO MP Grimlock seems like it's in perfect scale with the Thirteen inch Giga Power MP Snarl and the rest of their MP Dinobots.

Think the Giga Power MP Dinobots having Thirteen inch robot modes is too big. I prefer the Fanstoys Ten inch MP Dinobots toys.

Man, had this scaled with FT's not-Dinobots I might have considered getting it and them, but I'm still hoping (and becoming more confident by the day as all these G1 homage AoE Dinobots get revealed by both Hasbro and Takara) that Takara will do a full set of properly scaled MP Dinobots, including a new and improved, larger Grimlock.

Yes, I too find it fairly lazy when a link to another website is posted as news or a reveal.
It becomes especially annoying when trying to catch up on the latest news and all we see is a hotlinked picture from social media sites which, depending on where you may be trying to access that info, it is blocked through policies set up, such as work based systems blocking Facebook, Twitter, Blogs etc. [-(

I have posted hotlinked pics on the odd occasion but have fallen foul through my own mistake when trying to view that same info when not at home. :HEADHURTS:

It is very easy to right-click on an image, save it, then post it on this website via the 'Upload Attachment' tab. The only issue one might face in doing this is the original source file may be too large or of a different format not accepted on this site. ;)

Back on topic:

Saw these pics the other day. Made me think, due to the excessive amounts of Dino-love that is being handed out right now, this previously rumoured KO is being pushed forward, and rightly so!
Perhaps its the lighting, but the chest seems to be lacking some of the moulded detail of the original, but that may work its self out through paint apps?
The Hasbro or Takara version of MP Grimlock works well in a Classics display alongside Deluxe, Voyager and Ultra scaled figures, so this upscale could turn out to be well received for the Leader scale collectors, assuming it doesnt falter through QC issues and/or crazy pricing? :-?

That's why i "hot link" images it's a lot less hassle than having to resize every image to fit and sometimes it takes a couple of goes to figure out the size . That's what i did with my collection photos until i found out the easy way , it's a chore when there is a lot of images .

I think I'd rather wait out to see FT and GigaPower's Grimlock than buy an upscaled version of the original MP-08. Unless for some reason, it was actually priced under $50 (yeah, right).
