Huh. Not bad. Will probably pick this set up.

Thanks for looking up the names Blurrz! Pachycephalosaurus is my all time favorite dinosaur EVER! This does look like the best one yet, his hands are looking much better now.

So cute <3

Definitely interesting, but if I manage to get this set, I'm probably going to have them in either Beast modes or in Combined mode. Grimstone's robot mode is a little lackluster to me.

Grimstone, transform!


Form of, UNIBOOB!

so ugly. and they all should have gotten robot modes.

Exactly.

I guess I wouldn't mind seeing this lil guy repainted as Dinoking...although, he would look alot more fruitier

Ok, I want this. Let's do this thing. Make it happen. So forth and so forth.

Well, I guess I'll go against the grain and say this is a letdown. At first, when I saw just pics of the designs, I was somewhat impressed. But seeing the actual pieces just kind of deflates me. In beast modes, they look alright. Grimstone in robot mode looks much like Animated Snarl, which is still passable. But the gestalt mode is just...bad. To me it's just too lanky and out of proportion. Like I said, my opinion, so if you like it that's fine. But I won't spend money on it.

pass

The combined mode looks retarted. Big stupid alien head wearing a mardi gras coustume...

I'm not really into the combined mode either. Love the dino modes. Love that they are G1 dinobot colours - and the fact they are all robotic dinosaurs with inbuilt weaponry. But just not feeling that combined mode. I'll wait and see if any reviews change my mind, but I haven't bought any PCCs yet, so it is unlikely.

Cool seeing some of those modes, I had an original character idea for a Styracosaurus actually. If the robot mode was better for Grimstone, I'd be tempted to get it just to repaint.

If the PCC 5-packs stay at $15, I'll definitely snap this up. That said, I'd really be down for some more G1 Dinobots in the Generations line.

It's a set of dinosaurs that combine to form a giant robot. 'Nuff said. That's enough for me!

I like the dino modes and the combined mode, but then I seem to be enjoying the PCC line a lot more than most people around here.

I'll get him and Classics Grimlock will finally have a fellow Dinobot.

I haven't gotten any PCCs yet, they just don't look great to me in their combined forms. This however, the dinosaur theme makes the weird limbs look pretty cool, it just fits in my opinion. Hopefully I'll pick this guy up.

And Ankylosaurus is the greatest dinosaur of all time.

Grimstone's robot mode really suffers, but the combined mode is pretty good.

While I do think the combiner head looks ridiculous, I love how it's all one uniform color scheme throughout, and all the little individual dinosaurs look really good.

Who else will be using Grimstone as Slag?

I know it's not just me.

Now we've got Classics Grimlock, Energon Swoop, and GrimSlag...

Wrong species of dinosaur, though the general family (Ceratopsia) is correct. I still say it's a Power Rangers Dino Thunder ripoff, colors aside.

Thanks Professor, but I know that Grimstone is not a Triceratops (or possibly Torosaurus if the new findings and research gain a foothold). We work in approximate levels of representation with these repurposings.

I like Grimstone as an individual bot. His robot mode is a little lacking, but a dab of paint on his torso could fix that. I also really like the alt-modes of his Dino-drones.

However, I don't enjoy the idea of transformer drones, and would really like to see what these guys would've looked like if they had their own individual transformations.

Nope, too small.

MP Grimlock is the official Grimlock of my Classics shelf, but even if I went with Classics Grimmy, this would be way too little.
