    This is the first Grimlock I've seen that looks almost worth buying, loose the elf toes and that weapon thing, find a big hulking gun and a red sword to fit him and you might have some thing.

    Has anyone translated the paragraph next to him? It doesn't say he will be some rare exclusive that will cost an arm and a leg to get does it?

    The regular FOC Grimlock's sword fits in his hand but if you really wanna go all out on a powerful looking red sword you may want to go for the Dr. Wu Tyrant.

    It looks nice, but I rather stick with the Hasbro version.

    The G1 color scheme helps the figure a little, but overall, still a weak figure!

    Colors are broken up better visually here so I like it, G1 bias aside.

    Agreed. The original figure colors compared to this one is not that desirable. Although i'm gonna wait for the leader black knight grimlock. I'm passing on this voyager.

    Thanks and thanks! :D 

    I hate Kabaya kits. :(  I was hoping they'd be full-on "official" releases.

    There's something to be said when Kabaya kits are more interesting than Takara toys. :banghead:  I think that something is a naughty word.

    If I'm going to have a toy that has inaccurate colours I may as well have this version. This is the only time I've wanted G1 colours on anything. it really makes the character Grimlock since his colour is just as iconic as Optimus being red and Bumblebee being yellow.

    I don't think the G1 deco looks great on Grimlock as it does on Slug.

    Now THIS is how Hasbro's Age of Extinction Grimlock should look.

    Thanks for the pic and translation. This is what I was afraid of, as nice as this figure may be, the fact that it is a rare exclusive means most of us will not/never own this.

    ...As a Speed Racer fan, that might actually be the first Alternity Convoy/GTR I buy... Someone make a Alternity Megatron Racer X themed! ^^

    Grimlock looks interesting, but honestly I kind of like his bronze with silver highlights scheme so I need to wait and see^^
