This would be cool if you have Classics Grimlock, Henkei Grimlock, and Shattered Glass Grimlock. :-?

Interesting how the blue and white of the box depiction is nowhere close to the blue and white of the actual figure.

Still getting him though and leaving him in T-Rex mode.

Wow, you're right. This is a good example of Hasbro Photoshop.

wow. thats quite ugly. I love this mold, but I don't get the paint job. I guess its a homage to a beastwars character..?

Not quite. It's a homage to the G1 mini-cassette named Overkill

To be really honest, I prefer the G1 cassette (pared with Slugfest) to this mold.

Looking forward to this guy. Now we need a Universe Snarl to get an eventual Slugfest repaint.

Now that Overkill is a big boy, I wonder if he'll leave the nest?

We all know how much of a 'mamma's boy" Ravage is, getting a robot mode and staying at home like Robert in "Everybody Loves Raymond" :lol:

(sorry to all Soundwave fans, but this was too funny, yes, I'm a Soundwave fan)

I think I'll keep it MIB for this one.

I like the in package look here.

That's some really, really nice packaging.

Dear Hasbro UK,

Rot in the deepest pit of hell you fetid excretions from Satan's arse.

Love, UK Transformers collectors.

I'm with the leave it in dino mode opinion.

I think Hasbro has done really well with this - a figure which probably wouldn't do too well at mass retail, is a suitably obscure character which I think works really well, and nice packaging to boot.

Ahh just missed it. Hopefully Hasbro will re-stock this one. Dino mode on the shelf all the way. I dig em.
