OK, the animation looks a lot better in these clips than previously seen. I am beginning to like the show, but can't bring myself to think of it as canon with Prime; and the toys look like the cheapest of the cheap plastic. Also, why oh WHY do all the subtitles have to be the same old "ROBOTS IN DISGUISE" "MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE" garbage? WE GET IT. A huge green and black dinosaur is not IN DISGUISE though. Give me a break. It does look like a fun show though, but not to be taken seriously. I loved Prime and the toys. Oh well, I'm glad I'll be able to use money for classics/takara/masterpiece/3rd party toys now for a while.

They mentioned him being on a prison ship so I'm guessing the Autobots "branded him" a Decepticon. Doesn't sound like Dinobots have their own faction the way Predacons do.

I don't like the sound of this.

Everything else seems fine. Just the thing with Grimlock has me concerned.

(from a tumblr post about this I made a few minutes ago)

"We need to look like something the humans will accept. We need to be Robots in Disguise. (roll credits) What? Oh, sure Grimlock, you can be a giant robot dinosaur, whatever works, man."

Why does Grimlock talk like that? And what the hell doesn't Grimlock have to chose an Earth mode for? The show hasn't even come out, and it's already got plot holes. I can't see myself liking this. The animation, alone is going to annoy the hell out of me. Especially the human animation.

I hope this (ex?)Decepticon Grimlock is not the same Grimlock who was in the TF Prime comics. I hope one of the storylines features another, more aligned Grimlock, pissed at this Decepticon who has stolen his name...

It looks okay so far, but the Grimlock thing is bugging me.

Bisk reminds me of Roberto from Futurama, for some reason.
Why does Grimlock sound like Cyborg? Not that I'm complaining, he actually sounds pretty cool.

He is voiced by Khary Payton.

I agree.

Not to be racist. But, GRIMLOCK SHOULD NOT BE BLACK!!! :BANG_HEAD:

I apologize to anybody I have offended in the comment. But he should always be the thick headed egomaniacal dunce that we all fell in love with. And he should be silver. Or copper. OR ANYTHING BESIDES GREEN! (I will call him Greenlock from now on.)

Oh and Bisk?! Oh dear god.

Comment by Gallifreyan Autobot Oct 9, 2014

all i can say is i am liking this series more and more
=P~

though the thing with grimlock i think that might change to the autobrand in later episodes.

Strong arm i think she'd get along well with Arcee and Jack and some of the others of Team Prime

That was kinda offensive, dude.
Honestly, this new Grimlock doesn't bug me that much. He's been green before, as many others before me have pointed out (Car Robots Hurricrane, AOE Grimlock's patina). And he's still a thick-headed, ego-maniacal dunce. He's just a slightly more verbose dunce.

there is nothing wrong with grimlock being an ex-con (no pun intended)
it adds to his character makes things more interesting

Odd character in Bisk. Has lobster-ish qualities with the claws and eye stalks, so I assume it's a play on "lobster bisque" namewise.

Grimlock with the Decepticon symbol is odd, but it's not the first time a Decepticon or Predacon has switched allegiances. Having the authority issue solidifies this Grimlock is close in demeanor to the G1 version.

So wait, if Steeljaw's in charge of the Decepticons, does that make him a...

Megatron Wolf? :grin:
