The MP's all the way! They'll be harder to get down the road - but you can get a hooker any time!

As far as I know, MP Grimlock is a Hasbro initiated product. Grimlock isn't as big in asia as he is in "the west" and Hasbro want him on sale for the 25th anniversary..

You...

Dont...

Like...

MP/20th...

Prime?!? :shock:

I realise the MP line has realyl raised the bar since his conception, but you have to realise what a masive jump in design quality and practices he was when he came out.

You gotta remember he was designed a good 2 or 3 years before any of the other MPs, and he wasnt designed as part of an ongoing line.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway...

Grimlock looks like he may well be awesome sauce.
But one thing...
Where's his tail in robot mode?

lol, you're doing it wrong.

he says he doesn't like the MP's except for MP Prime, which he thinks is good as cotton candy

ME GRIMLOCK PREORDERED!!!

I would be happy if they designed the double barrel cannon to fit inside his Alt Mode. I also like how the tail is concealed in the Robot mode. The other details are too difficult to see clearly.
