    You know Destron if I were there near you I would rip off your hand and slap you with it j/k,even tho I hate that kids show he is still better than the following.

    1.Sponge Bob Squishy Pants
    2.The Teletubbies
    3.Dora the Explorer
    4.The list could go on for days but I think you catch my drift

    And even tho I dislike Barny,he is by no means the worst,those I mentioned rank from Hate to downright Loathing,with Spongebob being the Bane of anybodies Existence,oh yeah I always wanna take those Crabby Patties he and Patrick eat and shove them up there hoohaa's.Those two make handicapped kids seem like Brain Surgeons,oh and I am not making fun of kids that way but I honestly don't know how that show made it on the air,their was no redeeming quality whatsoever about Spongebob Squishy Pants.That is all but honestly that pic of FT Grinder looks kinda badass in a good way,wish I had one.

    Stop the boards. This needs addressing.

    In no universe in which man can exist is Barney the Dinosaur better than Spongebob.

    I speak as a father.

    Turn back from your dark path!!!

    Barney is the regressive evil opposite of anything good and intelligent Henson ever did for kids television.

    Still waiting on my Grim to arrive. Hopefully this month.

    Yeah, it looks more like an actual Tyrannosaurus Rex. Personally, I like having both for swapping purposes.

    Well after receiving my Superator and spending some quality in-hand time with him. He is a nice bot... but not the ideal or perfect Grimlock. If I could mix the top from Superator and bottom from the waist down from Grinder... it would be near perfect.

    Superator is very top heavy with his giant metal barrel chest. There are 7 clips on the top of the torso flanking and securing the neck joint to hold in place his big metal chest.

    Also when you hold him in-hand around the waist, he has the distinct tendency to tip forward due to his top-heavy design. The legs are skinny. Too skinny for my liking. Not sure why GP did this? They could've easily bulked them up a bit w/o changing much else. There is a pseudo ankle tilt which uses a slide feature on the inside front leg, so no issue with that. He needs a roid shot to the legs stat!

    His wrists seem solid too, unlike Guttur, Grassor, or Graviter with the weak, loose wrist syndrome and thereby the droopy gun issue. Superator can hold his giant gun straight and upright w/o issue. No exploding thumbs or hands either, which is nice to see. The round peg neck joint is pretty weak and his head easily pops off if twisted too hard. On the plus side you can easily swap heads.

    Overall a good bot and a nice finish to the GP Dino series... just wish they took a little more time to refine the design. The bot mode looks too anemic from the waist down... like a body builder who only does preacher curls, bench press, and chest flies... then leaves the gym. Zero lower body work out. The Dino mode looks a little too long, tall, and thin. Out of overall proportion too when compared side by side with a G1 toon Grimlock in Dino mode. But we all know the GP Dinos are not meant to be an exact G1 toon accurate line... but with a few little tweaks they could've come much closer with Superator. B+ overall grade.

    Grimlock has arrived from ShowZ and I’m loving it. Big hefty and buff looking. Ready to destroy Devastator and kick Unicron butt.

    Pros: not loose like MP8. Joints are tight and he looks menacing. No supermodel waist or UGG boots. Shoulders are lower then MP8 and FT. Nice long slender dino neck like in the toon.

    Cons: The pegs on the inside legs are annoying, wish GP put some on both sides to even them out. Also wish that the neck peg was 2mm higher so he could turn his head abit more.

    My MP Dinobots are complete. Now I can concentrate on the MP combiners

    So Stoik you obviously think two mindless idiots who live to laugh do stuff like driving a boat with wheels at the bottom of an ocean is just an everyday thing,while dreaming of eating their 323rd millionth Krabby Patty is considered educational for kids,think again,admittedly Transformers G1 had its flaws like mass shifting and whatnot,but to me it was a defining moment in my childhood,unlike Spongebob who has no clue what he doing half the time.

    Barny again as I stated isn't the best nor the worst,but atleast he taught children stuff unlike a Sponge that talks.I guess my point is "we'll have to agree to disagree" and all that.

    Spongebob is a free spirit, a panacea for the world’s ills; if everyone learnt from the lessons he teaches us there would be more love around.

    Barney is a right twat, there’s some dark trauma in his past that will eventually see him snap and the bodies will start to pile up. And who lets their kid go to Dino-daycare?!

    Plus like I said, I’m a father and if I’m going to have one of these shows on in the background for an hour or so, there’s only ever going to be one winner..!

    I would buy the ever living fuck out of a Barney repaint of FT's Grimlock.
