Notes
On April 1st, 2008, Fun Publications uploaded a fake April Fool's Day version of the first three pages of Timelines: Shattered Glass. In this spoof comic, Grimlock spoke with an intellectual, upper class accent ("I, Grimlock, am scandalized, wot?"). This proved so popular with the fandom that Fun Publications intends to integrate this element into later fiction that focuses on the Shattered Glass universe, such as the Dungeons and Dinobots text story.

Further Comic Info

True to his tech specs, Grimlock is a raging beast unleashed by Optimus Prime when he wants something definitively dead during battle. During the attack on Optimus Prime's warship, the Ark, though, Grimlock found himself fighting all three of the Predacons and having some trouble with the three small Decepticons.

A teaser panel has also been shown for a text story at Botcon 2008, titled Dungeons and Dinobots. It features a more intelligent Grimlock who speaks with his English accent from the Fun Publications April Fool's Day gag.
