IDW Publishing Editor-In-Chief Chris Ryall has revealed via his blog the second cover to the upcoming Spotlight Grimlock issue. This cover features Grimlock, in his T-rex mode, breaking through a barrier that also shows relfections of all five Dinobot robot faces. In the blog update, Chris Ryall also seems to suggest this issue is now due out in late April as opposed to the March date that this issue had been solicited for. Spotlight Grimlock is being written by Simon Furman, with interior art by Marcelo Matere.

It looks like Grimmy got stuck by a facehugger.

Sawtooth! That guy was harsh.

Excellente! A stunning look!

for some reason it clicked in my head as "5 grimlock robot heads" when i read the new post. weird. even sadder, i just don't know the other dinobot heads very well at all.

I'd have to say, off the top of my head, Slag, Snarl, Sludge, Swoop, and Grimlock?

I still want that mold repainted into a Grimlock some day, hopefully with a remolded head.
Psychrome86

that second cover is pure love. This my be the first time I buy both covers. One for show and 1 to read to myself. Hope it's not a special though…I can't afford that price.

I'm not liking this cover, Grimlock's face isn't as cool as Don used to drew him.

I'd like to see a badass team up with members of the Wreckers and Dinobots after this spotlight. Or mabye just a Springer spotlight with Arcee and Grimlock in it I'd think they'd make a real dangerous trio.

Grimlock, Slag, Swoop, Sludge, and….Cliffjumper?
Snarl's helmet redesign is odd, and doesn't really evoke the G1 character.

Re: Teeth on the face
Don did a fan comic years ago, one of his main characters was a Predicon that was basicly modeled after G1 Grimlock but with bio-organics. That was where he first did the 'teeth thing'. (I think his jaws opened too, but were blocked by the vertical part of the faceplate)
Grimlock's current look is actually toned down from that charachter.
Trek
Grimlock has only featured in ONE IDW TF comic so far (Spotlight: Shockwave). He's appeared once in three years! So there are many many TF who have had far more love the Ol' Big Grim so far. In fact I'd say his spotlight is long overdue.
Can't Wait!

I would like to see Furman give other characters HALF as much love as he does Grimlock.

Absolutely GORGEOUS cover!!

IMHO, I don't dig Grimlock's "Teeth-to-side" look, but I'll get it anyways cause so far the spotlight series didn't fail and I enjoyed it so far.
Peaugh
This is one I'm anxiously awaiting.

I'm all over this, but I'm getting a little tired of the teeth on his face. It made sense as a foreshadowing element in The War Within, but I don't like it beyond that.

I think the 1 of 2 spotlights refers to a Grimlock spotlight and a Mirage Spotlight.
