We've seen the one-step version of the Dinobot leader, but now, thanks to fellow Seibertron.com user mooncake623 and YouTube reviewer Vangelus we get a look at the actual Transformers: Age of Extinction Voyager Grimlock figure! Check out the video review embedded below.

He's definitely got his flaws, but overall he looks decent and seems to be pretty fun. I'm definitely going to look for him!

After watching that review I quit like the robot mode, you can get some good strong poses from it. Having said that, I just don't like it as a Grimlock figure.

Despite the juvenile review (throwing things around, "funny" quotes on screen), this seems like an okay figure. Probably won't get it, but the more I see the AOE figures, the less I dislike them.

are they planing on accurate movie colors?

I gotta say, I like it. I know there's a leader class figure coming out for Grimlock, so I'll wait until I have a better look at that before I decide on which one I want. Though I might want this one.

Great looking figure in both modes. I actually like gorilla arms. Especially on a character like Grimlock.

Even greater to see the Generations size voyager figure carrying over to the movie line.

He's taller than FOC Grimlock!!!! :D

I don't know. He looks alright but i know that if i bought him it would be fun for a couple minutes but then i'd forget about it.
I'm a HUGE Grimlock fan and although i like it in bot mode far more than the alt mode I know it would just be an impulse purchase in the end.
It just isn't classy enough of a figure for me in regards to Grimlock. It'll be a pass unless i get it for dirt cheap. I mean 10 dollar cheap.

Not as bad as I thought. Def enough to turn me off ever buying to repurpose as another character, but still a lot better than expected. Mid torso is def too thin, and the back kibble isn't a ton, but its positioned awkwardly. Head sculpt is the best part, with a the feet being the second best part.

Definite pass for me. I will be checking out the Leader Class version hopefully at local retail to decide if I want the character at all.

Takara has a listing for a movie-accurate deco of Grimlock, but I don't think Hasbro will be doing one.

Leader version for me. This just didn't cut it.

I'm interested. Especially after seeing him with the FOC sword.

I like Grimlock's face. His cheeks looks like he has a wide mouth full of sharp teeth. :grin:

I like it. It's not Grimlock to me, but that's not a new occurrence for movieverse characters and me. I'll wait and see more on the leader one and decide from there, but I'm interested. Movie accurate colours don't bother me, this one looks a little more exciting than the all silver looking movie version.

I agree with the person who called Vangelus's review Juvenile. Throwing the packaging around for no reason is just stupid and his subtitles in his videos are never funny.

I can't wait for a more professional review from Optibotimus or someone like that.

yeah, it sucks that he can't be grown up when he's reviewing a toy for 8year olds

I've got to say, I like this a lot more than I thought I would. I won't be getting it but the movie accurate version Leader Grimlock may be too tempting to pass up.

I noticed. He looks way too much like Shredder from TMNT...

Wow. *smh* Sense of humor, anyone? Vange1us does all of his shtick on purpose. He's an entertainer first, reviewer second. He's quite intelligent and talented. This is all for show and he doesn't take himself seriously in the least. He's having fun with it, that's the whole point.

You want a professional review? Vange1us is that professional. His production values couldn't be higher. You tear him down, but he's well known within the fandom and people like him. A lot.

As for throwing the packaging around, it's a running joke he's been doing for awhile. I realize it might put off some, but it made me laugh. (Because I know the original joke) In fact, when he did it, I knew I was in for a good time.

I go to Peaugh for reviews because he's the best at transforming them and shows them in great detail. I go to Baltmatrix when I want an honest opinion that's going to spare no one's feelings and tell me the absolute truth. (Even if I don't always agree with him, I certainly respect him.) When I want to laugh, I go to Vange1us. Plus, some of his videos educate you on the 3rd party scene. He's shown off items I never knew existed, given details I didn't know about, you get the idea.

You don't like his style, fine. You don't disparage the man, either.
