Man, he has a really stubby tail and his arms still look a little bleh.
He's cool but I think I can wait til he's released.

 

Thanks for the pics, Peaugh. You do a great job with the breaking news/pics with the animated toy line. Your efforts are much appreciated.

I agree with the earlier post about the arms still looking like they are a bit mis-transformed. Can anyone confirm this?

This figure is a definite must have for me.

 

Well, I just did a comparison, and Grimlock looks to be just a TEESNY but shorter than Voyager Optimus, who's currently the tallest of the voyager figures (but still shorter than Lockdown).

Wait, Starscream is a little taller than Optimus, depending on how you position his legs. Still, Grimlock is by no means tiny.

 

Grimlock rocks

 

Looks great! Love the exaggeration on jaw in beast mode.

 

I'm all over this one. Can't wait for these Animated figures!

 

They should sell a two pack of Decepticon repaints of this mold. It could come with a comic called "Underbite and Overkill (Accidentally) Save Manhattan."

Maybe make it a teamup with The Tick.

 

I've got to start rehabbing my G1 Grimlock so I can put them side-by-side. I just need to dig out his sword and chest plate (or try to buy them loose) and I'll be all set. Got to start making so shelf space.

 

Sweet Jeebus, that is a great looking figure.

I don't know how anyone can not like Animated. There's something for everyone to like.

 

Thanks for all the info Peaugh.

I like him.
But:
So that's a voyager? Wow. He looks quite smaller than Bulkhead, who is already pretty tiny for a voyager.

 

I'm curious where his tail is stored in Alt mode.

 

Ummm, check out Peaugh's sig for an idea how small Bulkhead is.....Grimlock will be much taller.

 

You're ... joking, right? His tail becomes his legs...

And I always thought that "Alt" mode was the non-robot mode?

 

Shit, I meant to put where his sword goes. I know where his tail goes i'm not blind dude lol. I thought Alt mode was vehicle and the other was robot mode. Not a big deal. Let me rephrase, where does his sword go in T-Rex mode?

 

Oh, he's quite a bit taller than Bulkhead. Bulkhead is shorter than deluxe prime, Grimlock is taller.

 

Well Alt_mode is always their non-robot mode.

Grimlock looks awesome, absolutely faithful to his G1 counterpart. Just looking at the transformation and which body part becomes which, reminds me of total G1. Hope he won't be short packed like in classics.

 

Honestly, likely nowhere. Sucks, but no worse than any other Grimlock  

 

What I guess I'd like to see would be a comparison between Animated figures and figures from other recent lines to get a clearer idea of where they stand. I mean, I remember when Movie Blackout came out, and he felt smallish for a Voyager. It seems sort of like the Voyager class is shrinking (but then, Movie Ratchet was pretty huge, so it's inconsistent).

I just know that seeing Grimlock standing next to Dlx Optimus (who is about an average sized Dlx) sort of depressed me, seeing as one will cost twice as much as the other, and functionally close to the same size class.

I don't see why should they. The figure is perfect as it is.

And he is so reminiscent of G1 Grimlock. Actualy, he's the same figure, just stylized in the animated fashion.

 

These two look really cool, its going to be tuff to pass. I might have to pick up Soundwave though (when it comes out).
