Beast Wars Transmetal Magatron? Or at least that's what the color scheme indicates. If so it gives me a reason to pick up the mold.

I wonder if this will tie in with Movie 4 Grimlock colors.

An homage to the Animated Activator "Fireblast" Grimlock, perhaps?
If this is so, I'm torn between shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" at the top of my lungs, or going:

My exact thought. (You know Seibertron has its own gallery?)
Why not go:

Really ? Instead of doing an awesome G2 repaint, they give us a flaming red piece of crap ? And whats up with that thundercracker, is this a takara metallic version ? That would be a must have...

Well, that's an unexpected redeco for Grim, but a pretty cool one at that!

Finally! I was wondering when that Megatron retool was going to happen. We didn't see any update about since like a year!

Unless my Japanese is slipping a bit, "Fire Guts Grimlock" and Thundercracker will be store exclusives. Not that surprised.
Sorry, he'll most likely be using the regular head since it's still Grimlock, and not BW Megatron as someone before me suggested.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. We have no confirmation of this, as the image is too small to know if it's this tooling or not.

Well crap, it looks like I should have skipped that Hasbro Thundercracker after all 
. Oh well, he can become a generic WfC/FoC seeker I guess.

Either Fireguts Grimlock, or Beast Wars Transmetals II Megatron Homage, OR both.
As in, it's supposed to be Fireguts Grimlock, but uses the Beast Wars Megatron head and the TM2 colours. Double homage!

If it is a BW homage I'll definitely be buying it (and I may anyway if I like the deco enough, but I'm waiting on further pics before deciding).

Well, the colour scheme does look more like BW TM2 Megatron than it does Fireguts Grimlock. What little we can see of the head also kinda looks like the top of the remolded BW Megatron head.
I predict we'll see better pics within a week.

I can't tell if he has the Grimlock head or the Megatron head, but I'm leaning towards the Grimlock head.
That color scheme is too red to be Transmetal Megatron.
It looks more like a Red Ranger's Zord (MMPR, Dino Thunder, or Kyoryuger) to me, than anything.

Is that what it's called? If so, interesting choice, and that answers the question of which head it uses.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Unless my Japanese is slipping a bit, "Fire Guts Grimlock" and Thundercracker will be store exclusives. Not that surprised.
If you own any of the Thrilling 30 Generations, you could set him over on an IDW shelf with them separate from the WFC/FOC figures.xyl360 wrote:Well crap, it looks like I should have skipped that Hasbro Thundercracker after all

Hench me saying it looks like Transmetals II Megatron.
The head for that Grimlock remold even looks more like this than it does the TM1 Megatron head.

Bigger pic - http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/972021-new-two-japanese-exclusive-pics-figure-oh-5.html#post10534228
Turns out is is a DUAL homage to both Super Link Dinobot Magma-Type (dino mode deco) and Animated Activators Fireblast Grimlock (robot mode deco and NAME). "Fireblast Grimlock" it is!
That. Is. AWESOME!

Aw, I was about to post that! 
So instead I'll post pics of the homages instead:
Superlink Dinobot Magma Type (NOT Doom-Lock)
Animated Fireblast Grimlock (Activator)
So Fireblast Grimlock eh? Not bad

So it is a double homage, just not the way I thought it was. And I was wrong about the head.
