    I would say that I'm hoping for the other Dinobots to get figures...but I don't think Hasbro will do them. Even if I end-up skipping Grimlock, if they were to make a decent Snarl figure, I would buy it anyways.

    These days...it's more like they can't please one fan without pissing off at least ten others...lol

    Now THAT's what I call a Voyager class. It's funny to look at him next to FOC Prime and realize that there's only a ~$5 cost difference between the two.

    Not happy unless EVERYONE agrees with you guys, are you? Maybe I feel he would have been capable of being much better without the electronics they crammed in that huge chest of his. Someone doesn't agree with you guys. Get over it.

    - Fat tail
    - Nonexistant dino-belly
    - Dull robot mode

    + Light-up gimmick
    + Apparent size
    + It's Grimlock

    Eh, I think I'll wait for a G2 repaint.

    It's really strange that we all of a sudden have robot kingdom saying "order now they'll be in stock this month" without so much as a preorder before hand.

    It's even more strange that BBTS and TF Source haven't at least put some preorders up.

    what gimmicks are people whining about? He has a light bulb....thats hardly what I'd call a gimmick and certainly not enough to offset the cost of figures-worth of shiny paint....

    there were pre-order on RK.....but Yeah, the TFsource BBTS thing is downright odd.

    Take out the weapons? He needed those!

    I am just happy they don't transform.

    He has lights like every other voyager from the prime line.

    Sniped on sight! Hot diggity damn! I like how the light is implemented into the figure, as an optional plaything, instead of forcing it into those non-locking MechTech styled weapons.

    True, but this light actually looks like it was worth while to put in. It actually light's stuff up, and the color actually makes sense...

    Yes, the waist looks hollow. That may be do to the transformation, but either way it is unfortunate.

    First they complained about short-tail because of the crappy angle of the stock photo of the toy, now fat-tail complaints? Man, nobody's EVER happy.
    I am. I want.

    Because aside from animated they haven't shown any interest in making modern interpretations of the other Dinobots.

    Wish we had better photos I'd really like to see Grim digibashed into overkill. People were all WTF on another board, but I liked him the second I saw him. Might not be so wishy washy on this mold if he were in that same deco.

    As is I think I'm going to wait for Peaugh or someone else to review it. Right now I'm wondering how bad his underbelly looks, what's his back look like in bot mode and is he really that color or is bad lighting just screwing things up. I don't mind the light, although I kind of wished they had left it out in favor of maybe using those resources towards hiding that belly gap.

    I'm thinking about how to paint the inside of the plastic so it makes it more opaque so the light only comes out the eyes and the mouth, not the sides of his cheeks too.
    Looks like he swallowed Rudolph.

    I don't see what everybody is gooing over. His dino mode looks like a plastic brick thrown at another plastic brick...

    It it just me or does the bottom half of the autobot logo (where the "nose" and "mouth" normally are) on his chest in robot mode look like it has a faceplate instead?
