    WOW. That's one of the better implementations of a lightup gimmick that we've seen in an official toy for awhile, I'd have to say. Looks like a LOT of fun.

    That said, I'm aware the Voyagers are sorta out of scale anyway, but does anyone have that scale chart High Moon released handy? Grimlock was pretty huge in the game after all, and I'm kinda curious how far off he is from his game scale.

    very sexy, but as always not as shiny as promised, 99/100 times I couldn't care less about something like that. but the Takara FOC line has been really up there..... I think I'll wait to find him at retail, and see which has been announced as shinier by that time.

    Blaster I'm getting the second I see him though!

    The only thing that looks really odd to me is the tail. Looks too big and clunky. Doesn't flow right. But that's a minor nit pick. Better than the classics one though.

    Looks great. Especially the light up gimmick. Looks to be a straight forward transformation. Wish there was a side shot to see the big backpack (Dino head).

    Definitely getting this. I'll also be expecting a larger shield from Dr. Wu (woo) or similar third party.

    Wow, now I know that the FOC Prime was a little small. But that pic just makes him tiny. Just... wow.

    So far I'm liking him. :)  I hope we can get some comparison pics of Grimlock alongside FE Voyager Optimus Prime to see how he stacks up.

    I haven't wanted a T-Rex Transformer this badly since Beast Wars Megatron back in the 3rd grade! Oh God, what was that, 1996?!??!

    Some say his mother was a fat tailed Gecko and his father was Robosaurus!

    All we know is, he's called Grimlock!

    I know! :D 

    I can't wait for my shipping notice to come in, this is easily my most anticipated figure, and one I cannot wait any longer for.

    Anyone know how long it is for RK to ship to the states?

    Man, what's not to like here?

    Sure the waist is dainty, but that just makes him look like Bruce Timm drew him.

    I REALLY thought for awhile Hasbro would price out the shield, SO glad they didn't.

    Better than what I thought he'd be for sure.

    And we know that Hasbro wont let this mold go to waste.

    So I look forward to the inevitable Trypticon repaint as well.
