    Pretty much the entire alt mode is new besides his feet, "nose" and wheels. The arms even transform differently.

    I shouldn't say that I need Grimlock but I think I need Grimlock.

    For as much remolding is going on (more than at first glance) I'm pretty disappointed in that Mirage. I wanted something a little closer to a real F1 car, something the CW one does better (though sacrificing the robot mode a lot to accomplish).

    Yay!

    Glad I passed on the original BW Grimlock a couple of years ago. Unless this one also has GPS then I’ll be sad.

    Neat. Where do you live, anyway? For shipping reasons.

    Grimlock looks good, but he is not anything like his Uprising version.

    The headsculpt on Grimmy looks excellent, but what coward up top made the call to do away with the Dalmatian spots?

    Maximal Grimlock looks excellent but Mirage just isn't different enough from the Siege version for me to really care and I really like the Siege one.

    and to make it even worse, it's an Amazon Exclusive, which will mean shitty distribution and probably even harder to get outside the U.S.

    Is there more remolding than the front wings on the car and the spoiler. I don't have the original anymore, but isn't it just the arms transformed differently with a new spoiler. So they put the arms back instead of to the side.

    I don't understand what's going on with the leg coloration though... Oh well

    I really hope Waspinator has 4 individual wings like you can see here. I just think that would be one of the things they could do to improve it over the T30 design.

    He is a bit different. It doesn’t help that Siege Mirage, much like the rest of the line, already transformed into an Earth-looking vehicle mode.
