    Grimlock in G1 colors looks awesome, I'll buy it if/when I see it. *Dodges thrown objects*

    That may be true in some instances, but no one's jumping to conclusions here. I'm sorry, but that Grimlock is clearly orange. No amount of lighting change will make him look gold. Just compare the toy, itself, to the dino mode pic of him on the bottom left corner of the package. That pic shows gold armor (likely photo-shopped). The toy does not.

    Those are legitamitly disappointing. Grimlock had potential but not understanding why he is orange and not gold. Swing and a miss.

    And honestly how many more Bumblebees do we need. Nuff said.

    Horrible orange-not-gold coloring aside, I'm kind of at the point where I just don't care about this line. It's a little ridiculous to put Grimlock in the same scale as everyone else, too. Come on, Hasbro. You don't remember going to the museum and seeing dinosaur bones? THEY'RE BIG MOFOS!!! :banghead: 

    I kind of make do with my 3-step Grimmy, cause at least he's big.

    But yeah, 3P and CW for me... this'll get bought if I find a good sale or somefin. Really ambivalent about these toys, though.

    That's gold just not a metallic or shiny gold.

    Still doesn't look like Grimlock. C'mon Hasbro it's time to bring back Zod for some Gobots fans.

    That would be nice, and this color scheme should've been used in the show.

    True that. I'd almost forgotten about RID.

    I like that they couldn't be bothered to Photoshop the card art into the new colors.

    nice work.

    Well that is definitely orange plastic and paint. Not as bothered by it as some people are. The only thing keeping me from saying this is a definite buy would be the arm issue. IF they fix it he is bought.

    Well I wouldn't say that. The Movie Deluxe Brawl had arm issues that were fixed for that Dessert release so there is hope.

    I agree, it feels like Hasbro didn't want to put much effort in RID this year, all of which most likely went to Combiner Wars.

    I wanted to get Grimlock but the whole arm situation turned me off.

    I guess that makes Halloween colour the greatest then?

    I normally try to see Hasbro's reasoning for their decisions, but hot dang this line is making that hard for me. It would take literally a few minutes for somebody with almost no photoshop experience to recolor the packaging art, and those bright yellow, unpainted clip on wheels have got to be a joke. I mean, maybe if it was a legion figure or they were clear yellow they could pass off as energized or something, but that is atrocious for a toy that costs between 15 and 20 dollars.

    Grimlock looks nice though! Definitely not 15-20 bucks nice, unfortunately. My only guess is that they expected RID to not do very well, so they're investing their money in Combiner Wars which, although it has had some iffy figures, has been a home run on the whole, which I applaud them for.

    I dig them and I like both molds so I'll pick these up since I'm completing the RID Warriors anyway.

    Can't wait until we get to those rumored "Decepticon Only" waves. Bring on Thunderhoof!
