    That looks great! IMO it looks way better then FoC Grimlock.

    I definitely don't hate it. Feels like a must to round out the 'Bee team regulars.

    Looks fantastic! Really glad they're doing this. I'm honestly not a fan of the mold, but it works wonderfully for Grimlock. The retooling and size really gives him the justice he deserves which the Deluxe simply lacks.

    Fits in perfectly with the team and looks great on his own. Hopefully preorders won't take much longer over on HLJ, AmiAmi etc, seems like HLJ already has their preorders up for TAV29 Bumblebee Supreme mode so Grimlock should be up next.

    I don't care for the base mold, but this is a very good retool.

    Supreme Mode came up at the same time as Ground Vehicon General and Microshooter Drift, its just nobody paid attention to it because we hadn't had any pics showing that he was a retool.

    Nice, he pretty much fits right in. Takara's offerings have really salvaged this line.

    Does he still come with electronics, but this time made so that he can sing "I'm on probation! I'm on probation!" ?

    That's the way how retooling should be done all right.

    Not sure I will get this though since I don't like this line but good for the fans.

    Excellent use of an pretty good mold. Hasbro should've done it from the beginning.

    Oh my god, somebody other than me who thinks the FoC Grimlock mold wasn't terrible!

    And I totally agree - this retool looks absolutely fantastic and well outclasses the cheap deluxe. Damnit Hasbro, stop letting Takara kick your ass with all these Voyagers you keep thinking won't sell!

    You're not alone. I think it's great FoC mold, not fantastic. But with TT retooling for RID, it goes from great to fantastic! Crap, pretty much sold out at the e-retailers I commonly use.

    I like the mold as well. If I have any issues, it's the wonky arms/Dino legs.

    I can't wait for this release. He'll look a lot better with his team than the deluxe.

    Darn it! Why do the best two figures of this line have to be super-expensive imports that don't fit into the size classes of Hasbro's version of the line?! :(

    I wanted to get it back in 2013, but I couldn't find it for a decent price and got FoC Soundwave instead. (Not that I'm complaining, mind you...)
