The 9" line I put in there is representative of what G1 Grimlock's height is doubled. MP Grimlock appears to be a little over double G1 Grimlock's height, which would put him at 10-11" tall, which is taller than MP Starscream's 8.5" height. Given that his transformation will probably give a little extra height, he should be MP Prime's height in bot mode.
Let me add that this all just my own assumptions and I don't claim it's proof positive of anything. |

Height doesn't bother me in the slightest, articulation and complexity are the important qualities in an MP, and so far the signs are good. Bit of a shame about the light up hand gimmick, i'd much rather he has an articulated right hand - but hopefully it won't be tricky to mod that. And as it is, if Grimmy's dino mode is about Seeker robot height, i'm sure his 'bot mode will gain some height on that; so he's hardly a dwarf.
Preodered him the other week, along with Alternity Megs, so now it's just saving up til next March.. always good to have a Masterpiece TF to look forward to. | |

I think he'll have it in the end. They probably just don't have it ready to show off yet. Or they're saving it for when we finally get to see a colored version of him, or something along those lines. | for that kind of attention to detail, sheesh, it is a must have on anyone's list.
thanks for the info. Quote: |

I think the dino mode will come in at 9.5 tops, which corresponds with the original poster description.
And, I could have it wrong, but as I see it, his bot mode will be at the tallest, equal to dino mode, and most likely shorter by 1-.5 inches.
All in all, he will not be "in scale" in bot mode to a 12" Prime. | |

Why do you think it gets shorter in robot mode though? | I think it gets shorter in robot mode based on trying to measure parts in the photo common between the two modes (like the chest chunk). The main thing that seems to make Dino mode taller is the upper body and head (that form backpack and wings in robot mode) are longer/taller proportionally than the were on the G1 Grimlock toy. Also this toy stands up straighter in dino mode than G1. The height of the dino mode can probably vary a lot, depending on how you position the legs and slant the body. It's possible it was designed that way intentionally, as in the cartoon Grimlock was (usually) shown somewhat bigger in dino mode than in robot mode.
I could be wrong though - won't know for certain until I have one or see some more obvious comparison pics.  How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end | |
