    I wouldn’t necessarily say “no,” to this — reformatted more so than, say, G-Creations.

    I’m pretty confident GC’s would better look the part, but their seekers would likely be MP-11 height. Way too large for a voyager sized collection.

    MMC’s I think, and without trying to sound rude; would look fine but wouldn’t have the near perfect resemblance as GC’s — but they’d be in scale.

    The body is pretty iconic and I believe he had this one up until his death. It would be a waste, I think, for PX to put efforts into a new Shockwave. Bonus picture because Alex Milne is awesome.

    I’d much rather them use their resources and give us something new.

    I like the extra red, it looks nice.

    I just wish most of PX's stuff was smaller.

    Their Swoop was the perfect size for me, but I wish the rest was smaller in scale.

    You\'d think it\'d be MMC doing IDW designs, not Planet X...
    PX typically do figures for the Cybertron games.

    Best-looking figure I've ever seen from Planet X. That T-Rex mode is pretty much perfect.

    I never picked up Vulcun, but I'll keep an eye on reviews of this guy. Tempted to wait for a G2 repaint.
    But not only. They already made IDW Star Saber too, although this Grimlock looks way better to me.

    I’d love this in Shattered Glass colors! I still will probably pick this guy up.

    Oooh, nice. Not my TOP tier of wants regarding 3rd party figs because I mean it is another Grimlock just stylized, but like B-tier i.e. "if/when I have the money" I want it.

    Kudos to PX. This came out really well. I can take or leave the red hands, but it was a great call to stuff the tail all the way into the legs even if it is a little inaccurate. He's going stand around the size of the MMC DJD big bois which means if you put him with IDW/reformatted stuff he's going nail the towering bruiser look.

    I'd prefer darker hands, MTMTE glowing energon lines on the chest, and red painted eyes for both modes. I assume the dinohead has light up eyes due to being clear. The feet also look a little bit simple for the size of him. I really hope they learned from Vulcan to lock the dino head kibble to the back somehow instead of letting gravity do the work.

    Also, anyway we can help get Roche a copy on the house? It's cool to see the artists buzzing about it.

    A remold with the chest he had in MTMTE would be an instant buy for me.

    Actually yeah, I think you’re right. The red neck line bothers me more than the red hands

    So close, yet they just had to use the most gawdy ugly bright red they could.... looks so out of place against the silver. Make it darker Planet X.

    Kind of a shock that a figure will be this big is up for PO at 169.99, especially with what's been going on with FT these days.

    edit: and PO'd, the alt mode sold me.
