That's a hard call. I own Sandstorm and Springer and they are standing next to each other. Most of the time Sandstorm just looks like a yellow and orange Springer. They did do some really awesome retool/remolds on SS though and them VTOLs are most epic.william-james88 wrote:carytheone wrote:Whoa, what's up with that last little flap on Grimlock?

I actually have stayed away from looking at this transformation in hope that I dont spoil a possible surprise. Now that you mention something that may be new, I am really tempted to spoil it for myself and see what you are talking about. Sounds super interesting. Do you guys think this is the best remold we have ever gotten? Or does Generations Sandstorm still win that title?

I do believe that best retool/remold would make for some lively debate though. Maybe a top 5 list if you haven't done one yet.
If you own FoC Grims, no spoilers here. If not, avoid like the plague.

Most of the changes on Battle Grimlock seems to be the head. Looks like a new head, new neck movement (seems to be just for transformation) and a flap that I don't recognize.
Hey ya! Too bad it doesn't "get rubbed" when you hover on it.carytheone wrote:I'm also loving the new rubsign favicon on the internet tab.
I meant as far as transformations spoilers go. Most of the surfaces seems to have been retooled, but transformation wise, it doesn't seem that much has changed.Robogeek1973 wrote:carytheone wrote:Most of the changes on Battle Grimlock seems to be the head.

Actually there's a lot more changes than that on this guy. His robot shoulders, hips, chest, and knees are different as well. There's probably more stuff that I'm missing though.
I have the standard vanillia FoC Grimsy. I've never noticed a plastic issue, but my collection is mostly new stuffs anyway, so I don't really have much to compare too. I think he is a cool bot with nice aesthetics. But I do think Battle Grimlock did it better. Honestly, it kinda looks like the mold was meant for him or they based the animation model off it.Cobotron wrote:Hey ya!

Just fiddled with my FoC Grim to compare. It looks to me that almost every surface has been re-sculpted except his robo forearms / Dino lower leg.
I have the same FoC that Will mentioned. Was the plastic that bad on all versions of that mold?
I hope Takara traded up the cost of the electronics for better plastic. If not, like his FoC brethren, he'll still look great.

Oh wow, I decided to watch the video and yeah, that entire beast head transformation is totally new and far more involved (3 steps instead of one). The plastic looks nice and sturdy too
I do have a major problem with his feet being grey. Don know why they couldnt have just used the same black plastic they use in the tip of his tail.
