Also coming to Toys R" Us this Fall in addition to the Animated exclusives is Masterpiece Grimlock. Featuring retooled dull teeth (likely to meet safety standards) and accessories the original release did not include, such as his iconic crown. To view the images click here.

Already have the Takara version and being on a tighter budget than I was back than, the Takara version is enough for me, but it's a great deal for those who didnt get him origonally.

Bring on Thundercracker though !!

I'm gonna be so poor these coming weeks...

On the plus side, thanks to safety standards, I'll be less like to injure myself playing with my masterpiece Grimlock.

It's too beautiful! MUST HAVE FOR SKYWARP! ME MINDMASTER MUST HAVE HIM GRIMLOCK!

Safety standards my reactor-linkage! When I was seven, the reason I wanted a Grimlock toy was how cool it was that his teeth could almost break your skin if really made him try. Almost.

But here we see the first evidence that the crown will indeed be removable! As much as I love comic continuity, it'd be a shame if it was glued on.

Uh, dude, everyone already knew that. Remember, this version of MP Grimlock was released before. Even if the crown wasn't removable, it probably "clog the pipes" in dino-mode. In other words, it wouldn't even fit.

Definitely looking forward to adding this guy to my masterpiece collection.

I've already warned the customer service desk dude at my local toys r us that I'll be there before the store opens.

He asks, "Wait! I know Grimlock! The T-Rex right???"

Now he wants one too.

Those dangerous teeth. I'd like to meet the wussy kid that was hurt by those teeth.
