    Oh, whoops- if you see in the dinosaur mode pic, the arms were already compressed on me, which I didn't realize was wrong, so when I was transforming him to bot mode, I was like, guess I have to pull these out. So heh, I just had things backwards!

    This is the first grimlock (for me anyways) where the robot proportions capture a certain straight lined/narrowed look that is just like the s1 g1 cartoon--I LOVE IT! I'm very impressed with newage on this one, can't wait for the other dinos.

    Easy I can make a list:

    NA Optimus, Nemesis, Ultra Magnus, Seekers, Shockwave, EX variants, the Constructions...

    Don't get me wrong it's a good figure but maybe too close to the animation model for my taste. But that's my preference and I knew how it was before having it so it's on me.

    I think he is talking about wow factor in transformation which Cyclonus doesn’t have. He doesn’t do anything new he just looks great and has a super premium feel. But still a great figure.

    As of Grimlock. I really like this guy. Might be my favorite of 2022. I had some minor QC issues. Some of the grey paint splattered on the top of the yellow chest. A magic eraser fixed that. Both modes has so much personality I love it. Transformation is fun too. Does some different things but not on the levels of Shockwave or the Seekers.

    Got my Grimlock for a couple weeks now. Wanted to wait for a metallic-toon version but I also need all 5 dinobots, so I finally chose this cheapest option.

    I love the size & the look. The paint also feels good.
    The Dino mode is probably my favorite for this deco.
    The inside of bot mode's legs looks a bit unattractive, probably because its outside is so clean.
    I think Newage should get a better knee bend for their future bots. 90 degree is a bit below average these days, especially for a big & beautiful figure like this Grimlock (and recent Cyclonus).

    NA Optimus wowed you but Grimlock didn't? With that ridiculous huge double chest?

    For me, Grimlock could've used bicep swivel and knee bend in dino mode plus cleaner insides of his bot legs and he would've been damn near perfect. The only thing that would make him better, besides those things, would be increased articulation in dino mode, like a head that can swing side to side, not just pivot at the base of the neck, and a torso with some side to side flex. Would really go a long way toward making the dino mode expressive but honestly I doubt it's even possible.

    Yes, in hand I was not bothered with the double chest at all, I have it on the shelf at eye level so you can't really see it. But hey everyone has his opinion!

    I agree on the "upgrades", It's a figure i bought just to try it, there's something in the desing that doesn't work for me from the beginning, also I said earlier in this thread, none of the versions do it for me, they all lack something, like this one a proper sword. That's just nitpicking i know, but I paid for it so I can:lol

    Must be a common error or the same sloppy employee. Thanks for the magic eraser tip, even if it took a tiny bit of yellow paint with it! I also have a raised bump on the left bot foot from over painting.

    For what it's worth I was able to get rid of the scuffs on mine without paint damage using the rubber eraser on the back of a pencil.

    While cool and appreciated, it would also be nice if figures didn’t require DLC: Delayed, Late Components.

    Is all that really worth charging another $10-20 separately as opposed to charging an extra $5 across the whole run?

    I assume your talking about the legs panels right?They're gonna be included with the next dinobot, so it's not like your actually gonna be buying them separately, unlike the constructicon legs. Personally I don't find them necessary, because the legs dont look bad at all in hand. Plus it's just another part to go on the side when in dinomode. But that's just me.

    The sword looks a little too big.

    Maybe a little but it doesn't bug me. Honestly I could care less about the sword in this kit since I like the fire sword more.
