Height comparison pictures of MP Grimlock have appeared on ACToys. One of their members has taken a few recent comparison images of MP Grimlock and merged them together to give us a good indication of how tall the figure will be next to MP Prime.
oh good, so he WILL be about as tall as MP Convoy.what everyone seems to be forgetting is that dinomode is STILL the more compact mode and that`s shown in these images to be right up to MP Convoy`s shoulder.
I know most that some will agree and others won't, but I think that the size fits perfectly in with the Classicsverse figures. Classics Grimmy always seemed undersized. If these are accurate, MP Grimlock seems to be more in scale.

I disagree. If these pics are accurate he'll be as tall as SS when SS is on his stand. So it's better than it could be!
freakin amazing. And we haven't even gotten painted pix yet. Never doubted how good he'd be from the beginning. (Kinda like Morpheus believed in Neo - lol)
I am more interested in where there will be metal on his body. Post MP-01 and its mould I have been a little disappointed with the amount of metal in those that followed.
I am a bit disappointed. I wanted him to be at least one head length higher than MP Prime. So why does MP Grimlock cost more than the other Masterpieces?
I'm sorry but I'm very disappointed now. I don't care much how you justify the height by saying he's a bit larger than MP Starscream or that mode is a bit more compact. Fact is he's not as tall as MP Prime, he's been downgraded to that secondary & slightly smaller Masterpiece size present. It's Masterpiece, it's in the $150 range, and it's smaller than MP Prime. The comparison shots there with Classics Prime, Masterpiece Optimus and then G1 Grimlock have turned me off quite a bit to the item. The price made sense to me when I suspected something as big as if not larger than MP Optimus Prime/MP Megatron. Hell I was fully expecting a MP Grimlock with the size/proportions of Supreme Class Cybertron Starscream! But now, looking at that, he'll be MP Starscream sized, just a bit broader/bulkier. MAJOR disappointment.
if i'd set myself up for an equal to mp prime i'd be disappointed. as it stands im very happy because i can't stand 'classics' grimmers and this seems to be the ideal substitute.
I like the size, I hope that the higher price relates to Takara using a higher quality factory (than the one used recently by them and Hasbro for Universe) it would be horrible to get a masterpiece transformer plagued by some of the QC problems we have dealt with of late.
Maybe it's the cost of production that's gone up due to the market sucking right now? Or that they're having to pay their factories more?
Either way, I'll gladly pay $150 for MP Grimlock. I'm an adult toy collector, and I can afford to waste money on these. If you can't, then your priorities are misplaced.
I think until we see an absolute side-by-side comparison, without depth of field to trick the eye, then we'll know EXACTLY how big.
The comparison pic is probably pretty close, but MP Prime is behind Classics Prime, and MP Grimlock is in front, which means the size difference would be a little more. Meaning, MP Grimlock may be even smaller.
Now, as much as I'd want a giant MP Grimlock that towers over MP Prime/Megatron, seriously, did folks expect them to make an MP figure that dwarves the "hero" leaders?
I don't expect him to.
And he still looks to be bigger than MP Starscream, who I agree was too small. They should all be 90% to 100% the same size, or as close in size to each other as possible. If he's 85% the size, then eh, I'd like him bigger, but I'll take whatever they throw at us.
I mean, despite all the whining and complaining, where else are we going to get a Masterpiece figure? They'll do it their own way, and those happy with it will buy it.
