Following the teaser announcement of Missing Link Grimlock, official product shots have been released along with preorders from many overseas retailers. The photos show off how Takara was able to implement today's expected articulation on yester-years toy as we expected from Missing Link. The photos also reveal that the Dino-Mode also gains some extra elbow articulation, as well as the ability to turn the dino-head and possibly some tail articulation as well. The articulation is incredibly integrated into the new design as highlighted by the side-by-side image shown below.
For accessories, all of the G1 parts are back, including the missal launcher and a now chromed out sword for Grimlock to wield. Grimlock also follows Ultra Magnus in paying homage to his DiaClone roots and includes a Diaclone Driver to finally utilize the cockpit that has always been present on the spine of the T-Rex.

I haven’t bought a Missing Link figure yet but this might be my first.

From some photos, it also looks like the Grimlock robot head is more forward, and doesn't sit back behind the shoulders like with the original toy. It would be fun touch if the head is made to slide forward or back, so you could have the choice looking better, or emulating the original design.

It doesn't slide, it's on a couple of hinges. I think it's part of the transformation.

The head does also move backwards into "Respect Mode"

Will Takara fix ML bot mode feet? Cannot see why the finer detail was omitted.

These are new molds based on the old toys, it has no impact on reissues

The molds are literally lost at sea, and the cost to retro-tool new molds isn't cost-effective.
