Yeah, because those TFs is now the norm and every single new TFs that will come out from now on will be exactly like these!

Or...

How DARE they making another kind of product for a different market, a different public with a different budjet? Hasbro must cater to MY needs alone!

I know that this will be really, really hard for some people to understand, but you are aware that it is possible for a person to not like a Hasbro product without that dislike being an indicator of these idiotic responses that you project onto a person, right? This kind of 'reply' doesn't actually make the person who dislikes something look silly or anything, it just makes the person who employs them look like an idiot.

Nothing is being projected. The vast vast majority of transformers fans actually feel this way.

Grimlock looks kinda nice, actually.

I'd like to do that, but I didn't know how...
Anyway, it's already in the front page and I've got 1 news credit thanks to willian-james88.

I'm not a huge fan of the Rex mode, it's a bit off, but I would buy Grimlock on his own for the robot mode. He'd look really nice with a custom paint job to help that detail pop.

I agree with you, specially with the dino mode. And here's NECA's Godzilla to show it.

To be frank, for me he's the best of the line, the shoulder/transformation articulation is a true winner here. Next to him is Megatron, the paint apps on him are nice and SHINY! Too bad Starscream had no kness, because that was THE deal breaker to me. Optimus and Bee just... not for me. Also, I already have lots of them, so I won't miss them.

Should Hasbro have added some extra joints (To be frank, only Bicep/Elbol swivels and Thigh/Knee swivels were enough for me), these would be a nice "cost/benefict toys" for collectors, but for kids they're quite nice.

For me, I'd like to see him in RiD15 colours.

Hey lookit, he has basic articulation! thus making it the only figure from this line worth buying.

Now a bit more of size comparsions. I shoulkd have posted these before, but it was too late and I was too tired yesterday to do so...

First with some Age of Extinction bots
- With Evasion Mode Prime (from the 2 pack) and Evasion Mode Optimus with DX09 Armor add-on

- With Strafe and Scorn

- With Slug and Slash

- With Grimlock himself. Yes, the Cyber grimlock can hold AoE's Grimmy mace and no I don't own the Leader class for comparsion... yet.



Now with some Prime/Beast Hunters...
- With Transformers Prime RiD Rumble (Or frenzy, you choose ) and Vehicon

- With Transformers Prime RiD Bulkhead and BH Whellijack

- With Transformers Prime First Edition Prime and Prime RiD Ultra Magnus, Sir!

- With Transformers Prime First Edition Arcee and Beast Hunters Smokescreen

- With Beast Hunters Vertebreack and Skystalker

- With Voyager and Beast Fire Predaking

Well damn, I now need that Grimlock so I can get a customizer to paint him up in his RID colors.

So that's Megs AND Grimlock I want now.

That alone, make the figure worth owning!

Is it better than X Brawn driving himself?

Well, there's lots and lots of bots who drive themselves so yeah, it's better.

In America, however, X-Brawn's head would be in the front passenger seat instead of the driver's seat.

Now, to finish out, some more size comparsions...

First and foremost, let's start with some Combiner Wars TFs
- Both Cyber Battalion Grimlock and Megatron with CW Leader Megatron

- With CW Superion (Well, sort of...) and Powerglide


Being this a "child line", why not compare him with another "children toys"?
- With Total Heroes Mr. Freeze and Despicable Me Stuart with Fart Dart Launcher

- With LEGO Hero Factory Brain Attack Aquagon and TF Construct-Bots Soundwave (With the wings placed in his back instead of arms)

- With Playmates TMNT Donnatelo and SRC Gokaio- I mean, Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legendary Megazord


Now with randomic collectibles
- With Beast Wars Transmetal Scavenger and Animated Blackarachnia

- With NECA Gordon Freeman and S.I.C. Kamen Rider Ichigo

- With SHFiguarts DeluKnight and NECA "G14" Godzilla

- With Sazer-X DX Shark Leaguer

- And, to wrap things out, with Star Wars Black Series ROTJ Luke and Diamond Select Deadpool... being a Deadpool of sorts.

I was just gonna say that until I saw you beat me to it!

Now I need to suggest something else..., BW Grimlock dalmatian dots? Either that or the Fireblast Grimlock Activator from Animated.

Oh yeah? How about the unreleased "Animated Goldfire Grimlock" deco? No srsly, it's not too hard to get this deco...
