    The size and mini Prime are nice. But looking at it, I think it's deformed enough that it might take more than a good paintjob to get it looking close to how it should.

    But I could be wrong.

    Say what now?

    Only US$79.99 that's should be just almost Php3,500.00 when converted but the actual selling price of it here in our God-forsaken country is a whopping Php5,999.75. Only in the Philippines where the corruption is so widespread, WHAT A SCAM!!!

    $80! I'd rather buy another Generations Metroplex instead of this. I heard his Dino mode is the size of Metroplex's leg, so this figure is huge. But not worth it, especially the non articulated mini Prime it comes with, it should've came with a 1-step Prime.

    Well, I said and a few mods, not just paint. :) 

    I've already modded the more leader sized one step/quick change Grimmy so I see a relatively painless process of giving him articulation as they transform roughly the same.

    I don't think it's worth $80. It's probably meant to be one of those big item Christmas gifts.

    TFW2005 had a photo review of this toy first (okay, only by a few minutes, but still first), with a lot more photos (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/992829-aoe-stomp-chomp-grimlock.html), including a number of size comparison photos... so no need to encourage people to visit another site if it isn't necessary ;) 

    Okay, it's also a shameless plug :p  ... but a very comprehensive review nonetheless posted here for my fellow TFW members. :D

    Not my thing, my daughter would probably pee her panties if she saw this though. If it funds more generations figures, I hope it sells like hotcakes to all the kids.

    Aw, my bad man. I did search for in hand out of box images here first, I must've missed it. I switched the original link with yours.

    Not gonna lie, Stomp n' Chomp will be on my doorstep tomorrow. My 3 year old will flip his lid when he sees this bad boy. He has all of the released one step changers, so this will be fun for US to play around with.
