Some new images have leaked online of prototypes for the upcoming Masterpiece Grimlock and Mickey Mouse Transformer.

See the images below.

Hell yes. I want that Grimlock.

Mickey Mousimus can burn though.

Grimlock is just beautiful I think I just had like 10,000 orgasms.

Mickey however is the captain of the failboat.

Meh to Grimlock.

Mickey looks a lot better than I anticipated...

Grimlock is, well, Grimlock. Since I am not a fan of the Dinobots...

Mickey Mouseformer...I have never, in my entire life, witnessed something so chock-full of utter and epic failure. It's just staggering!

Me WANT that Grimlock. When I saw that pic, it was as my dinobots roared on my shelves.

Wow, I actually like that mickey-former, the alt mode is awesome.
*imagines a Transformers level in some future Kingdom Hearts.*

I hope that Grimlock is huge.

The idea of putting Grimlock in with my other Masterpiece figures is cool, but the figure itself does not blow me away yet. I was blown away with the first images of MP Megatron, Prime and Starscream because they clever with their engineering. But we knew that MP Grimlock would look pretty much like this. Nothing surprising.

Grimlock is amazing. Mickey is OK. Can anybody tell what Grimlock is holding in Dinobot mode?

I guess it's his crown from the Marvel comics, I'm searching for pics.

It looks like he's about to award it to someone at a beauty pageant.

I had ten million...


I wonder if there's a way to lean him forward in beast mode to make him look more like the modern-day model of a t-rex?

Grimlock looks awesome as I expected. I have to give them credit for Mickey ... this isn't like the Star Wars or Marvel Transformers where it's a vehicle that turns into the characters that we know from those series. It's an Optimus Prime truck that transforms into a Mickey Mouse that is wearing Optimus Prime armor. I loved Optimash Prime ... a Mickey Mouse wearing Optimus Prime armor is right up my alley also. Kudos to whoever came up with this idea.

I kinda get the impression that Mickey Mouse will be a Disneyland/world exclusive and will probably not be the only one.

He's holding the brainwave transport from when he created the Technobots in "Grimlocks New Brain"

Also, there's supposidly an LED in his hand that will light up his sword and gun

Optimouse Prime . Actually, that Mickey is dressed up as Optimus doesn't surprise me all that much, since the 'role play' motif is pretty consistent with Disney's previous "crossover" exclusives with Star Wars, which include the Disney characters (with Donald as Maul and Stitch as Yoda, etc.) the Muppets (with Kermit as Luke and Gonzo as Vader, etc.), and Mr. Potato Head (as Han and Fett, etc.). I actually prefer this 'Disney characters as established TFs' thing...probably 'cuz it's easy for me to picture Donald as Megatron and his nephews as the Seekers...

Now we just need Masterpiece Utahraptor and we can do Transformers:Qwantz!

grimlock looks awesome! Wasn't there a rumor a long time ago they we were supposed to get an MP grimlock and a soundwave too? or am i think of revoltech?

also mickey looks kinda cool but i fear he may be rather bulky more like the 1-2-3 transformers, which would probably make me pass on it... i will however buy anything they make with donald duck.

hmm mp grimlock looks ok so far. hope its huge..

his leg looks like from mp1/mp2

MP Grimlock is faithful to G1 Grimlock. I hope not the color too.

Not bad. But if he's not an accurate T-rex, what dino is he?

He's an accurate what-people-thought-T-rexes-looked-like-before-Jurassic-Park-came-out.

Bingo, like he said.

Man, the designers can't win; if Grimlock didn't look identical to G1, there'd be moaning and groaning. Now that he looks exactly like we'd expect (and desire), there's still grumbling. Such a fickly fandom

Although this is only a prototype shot, I think he's frickin' awesome. So far, so good Takara.

I'm not in awe of that MP Grimlock. I mean, as a G1 toy, he was EXTREMELY accurate to his cartoon counterpart. Grimlock's design has been perfect since the 80's, so I'm glad the designers of the MP version didn't mess around with it too much.

However, I just find it hard to justify paying 130 bucks for a figure that's been done a billion times and was done perfectly the first time around. To be quite honest, head non-G1 head sculpts aside, Animated Grimlock is the best Grim there is. This MP version really isn't bringing anything new to the table other than (possibly) sheer size and maybe so electronics.
