    Can anyone compare these renders with those of MMC IDW Trux? The alt modes look crazy similar so it'd be hard to tell if there is a clear winner here.

    Last I checked, MMC Grimlock's tail and maybe head need to be removed for transformation. Correct me it I'm wrong, though. There may have been an update I missed. But if that is the case, then this guy is automatically better in my eyes.

    So if I remember correctly, the FOC Dinobots have been the most popular figures that PX have produced so far.

    Maybe they'll plan on making all of the IDW Dinobots now.

    Now that's a figure design I would buy in a heartbeat. I wonder how he'll scale with MMC

    Yeah the tail just sits on the back on top of the Dino head kibble. It's probably removable for a number of remold reasons but it's a really cheap cop out. I wish more Grimlocks would try and at least hide the dino head, G1 be damned.

    If this comes out before MMC's I don't think I'll be able to resist.

    Yeah I'm pretty excited about this, he looks great. Just speaking as a collector, but it'll be difficult to decide which one to go for. Both MMC and Planet X look really good.

    Planet X plastic quality is trash

    For sure I'll buy MMCs tho

    Interesting. Planet X is Maximum Dinobots while MMC is MTMTE. The differences are subtle between the two bodies in the comic art, but look at how different the chests and collars are and you can see what I mean. Wonder if they did this to keep them distinct or if Planet X is planning on doing a MTMTE remold later.

    Hell. Yes.

    I hope he’s bigger than Vulcan tbh. Like I hope he’s at least the size of studio series Grimlock, if not larger. Same with MMC’s
