That is, if Hasbro makes one too. I can't afford most of the Takara figures The only Takara TFs I own are Liger Jack and Flame Convoy.

Without having to relate it to an actual item, they realy have no limits to the amount of detail they can add!
Now, I just wonder if and what extrad they'll include!

He couldn't be repainted into a different characer? Rodimus was more iconic so he'd be done first? They did Skywarp so we'd likely be seeing Thundercracker next?
Gotta say, I'm glad it's big Grim. I actually collect transforming G1-inspired dino versions of this guy so this toy is a ust for me!

Besides, haven't we been speculating this for some time now? Its at least cool to have it confirmed- now all that's left is for us to worry if it'll be released internationally or not (half joking, but I wouldn't be too surprised...)

This should be interesting, will he be as good as MP01-02 or will he suffer from some issues like MP05?

Depends on how much of him is plastique or not.

No, but he could be repainted two times (blue and turqoise) + if the first version will be not even closely relative to the original + I can believe there will be the matt grey and the metallic version + the battle damage version of Hasbro...
Oh yeah,don't forgot if Hasbro wants to repaint him into Trypticon...

Just hope they don't mess his colors up on the first run like poor Starscream...

I have all the MP figures so far, and Grimlock as No. 6, I just can't f'ing wait!
If Grimlock is even 50% as great as the past masterpieces are (No, i didn't have any rust problems with megs), this will be a fantastic figure.
I can't image what sweet stuff they will improve on from the original!
Posted by Nemesis Cyberplex on January 20th, 2008 @ 10:41pm CST
The only thing I would imagine they could improve on would be the size & the articulation. I mean, if they want him show accurate, there's not much they'd be able to do with his transformation, so better articulation would just about be the only other thing they could do.Ddave wrote:This is fantastic news!

That's what alot of people have said for the other 3 molds, and look what we have ended up with. I am expecting something special!

yeah for real, I visited my favorite toy shop and the guy told me this was confirmed and next afterwards was Thundercracker. I was in shock so when I got home I checked out Seibertron and BAM there it was Grimlock for the next MP =].

Then you missed out on some of the best figures ever released. I Thought the same at first about them and wasnt buying them , then i got the Hasbro Prime and it blew me away.. Now i have them all except for Ultra Magnus that im looking for if anyone has one ill trade a MISB Ransack for it , seriously . But you dont have to buy them , you can trade stuff for them , that how i got all of mine except for Megs and Prime.
I cant wait to get Grimlock , i was hoping what i heard a long time ago was true and today i see it is . This is Killer and about time we get another Autobot and not another Con.. Though i think Thundercracker may be put out for sale before Grimlock since its easy to throw a new coat of paint on the screamer mold.

They have somewhat of a pattern going by having a new mold followed by a repaint/remold. Thundercracker will probably have a new face gimmick by Skywarp.

I find it a bit weird, that a Chinese site posts something looking like an excerpt from a Japanese magazine, without giving the source or us having seen further pictures from that magazine (some people are bound to have what ever magazine that's supposed to be).
The text next to the picture doesn't mention Transformers even once, it goes on and on about Gundam.
I for my part will wait for something a bit more official.

I hope it's not as bad as MP Prime.

If he ends up being another redesign (Starscream...), I probably won't.
Still, without 100% concrete evidence, I won't get excited just yet and I certainly won't make a judgment call either.
Patience is a virtue, and I'm willing to wait.
