THAT is definitely a good idea! As much as I would love to give you one, I have only had enough time to give away one (that's not a joke, honestly). Actually I haven't given him away yet since I'm still working on him for a new friend. Be sure to check YouTube later because I'm actually going to post a video of the transformation before I release him  

 

Parts used

First of all

Amazing custom
From one customiser to another,
Absolutely fantastic work and I'm sure many other customisers will follow this as a guideline and be inspired by you.

I see deluxe Slug, Scorn, voyager Grimlock parts used here
There's probably more but I've not noticed yet

Keep up the good work.

I'll be sure to try this one day soon  

 

I was expecting a giant car... Awesome.

 

FUG!!! That Maw is just Vicious!!!
Jumped right off the screen and wants to bite off some faces!!

 

Now this Grimlock is king!

 

Still no video? :-/

 

Now I would pay money for this. Take note Hasbro, this is how you make toys. Superb work my good sir. The amount of detail you put into this is just amazing even down to the Cybertronian glyphs. I look forward to seeing the finished Optimus riding on the back of by far the best Custom Grimlock I have ever seen.

 

MovieOptimusAnt,

Thank you for your encouragement my friend! I truly appreciate your kindest of words!

You're keen to many of the parts used here and I'm sure your figure will be fantastic once finished. I look forward to seeing it!

 

Chopperface, Haha! Great quote. Thanks Buddy, I absolutely love his movie Dino mode.

Robot.Macgyver, I was going for screen accurate, glad you saw it that way! Thanks!

Autovolt, Thanks for the compliment!

ThinkTank, i'm sorry but, Nah, no video as of yet. I'm just kidding bud. Thank you so much for the reminder! For some reason I always have a bit of trouble uploading videos. I tried uploading here but didn't get through but here's a link...

how did you make that tail?

 

Amazing!! Great detail work! One minor nitpick - maybe a little bit more wear/tear on the robot chest? 'Course, don't listen to me - I couldn't do anything a sixteenth as good as this!

 

Thanks Dinobot102! I really appreciate you noticing the glyphs! Adding every detail that I thought would look cool on Grimlock was just part of the fun and I'm super glad he's to your liking! Although I haven't had the time to work on little Optimus, I will definitely post a pic once he's completed. But since this Grimlock has been released to his new owner, I might just have to have Optimus ride on another Grimlock... 

 

How much would it cost after the customization?

 

Thanks for your interest Noversalrex1024! You can pm me regarding your customization preferences. Good job on your yt movies, you're definitely a dino fan.

 

Thanks TannerC1234! You noticed his chest area lacking wear too, huh? I certainly would have to agree, as I've thought so too but didn't get a chance to apply it and thinking of doing this on a future build. I appreciate your attention to detail and comments!

 

Yo, though that bot mode is not improve much, the dino is epic~~& this is the most accurate mold that still transformable even seen so far.

 

The chest could use a little bit more damage but other than that, it's absolutely flawless. Great job.

 

how did you make this?

 

Thanks for you comment Cnomis! I totally agree with you. I wish there was more I could do. Being that it was built off of Hasbro's platform, there's not much room for enhancement. During the time of the build, the movie was not released yet and I had not seen it so I was not able to enhance those qualities. Having said all that, if you pay close attention to his transformation, his legs wrap around his body forming the Dino torso and there's no room to add anything on his upper thighs and same goes for his chest and abdomen area. Then all you're left with are the arms, which has been enhanced. But I am working on a grimlock that is in scale of leader prime, his head is the size of leader Grimlocks body minus the tail that will transform and will have the qualities you mentioned. Right now he is just a bust.
