    I'm not a big Grimlock fan but I can't say not to Trypticon colors so this is my first time with this mold and he's a lot of fun! I kinda wish they gave him a new version of the Classicsverse blaster sword since. My copy is really solid except for a minor issue where his robit feet don't tab together in dino mode. I've gotta clip his gun on his back to keep those halves together.

    "Hello Hasbro? Yeah my SG Grimlock shipment arrived today, but when I opened it there was nothing inside the big shipping box. What? 'Camouflaged'? What do you mean?"

    I took it apart. You are correct. The neck is clear orange painted pearl white and has a light gray plastic mechanism (not sure what else to call it) inside

    It's not that it looks bad, it's just that I don't care. That goes for much of Shattered Glass.

    I'm not collecting SG, since they're not accurate to their actual SG designs. But I may end up picking this one up if he goes on sale so that I can attempt to customize him into a G1ified Nemesis Grimlock.

    As with SS86 Grimlock, not a lot of great sword options due to the dino claws. At least these unpainted dino claws won't have to deal with paint scuffing for those that borderline fit.

    These 'Berserker' blades from Perfect Effect are similar in style to the Volcanicus sword with a simplified hilt. Unfortunately, they're not available individually anymore (as part of a mini gorilla set with 2 blades) nor the Neoart KOs in several colors. These ones are from their last figures, Dark Warrior and Honor Warrior.

    The lighting is making the blue brighter than IRL. It's a similar ice blue to SG Jetfire's blast effects (lighter from side view, matches from end on view).

    You can't, as it's custom made.

    Not sure what you're talking about here? Original toy designs? Comic designs? They couldn't be more accurate to both IMO.

    Also, SG Grimlock is a Pulse Exclusive. No chance it ever goes on sale.

    Every single picture of this figure makes the paint on the neck look like it's flat white.

    It's really a pearl white with a slight bit of metallic to it. Same color on the dino teeth and robot shins too.

    With that said, all I can do is echo everyone else's feedback on this figure. It's absolutely fantastic. The Trypticon deco looks absolutely amazing on an already great mold.

    I'm not bothered at all by the lack of a sword. The Dinobots having swords was always a toy only thing and never appeared in Sunbow. Because of that, idc about a sword or not.

    I really liked grimlock but his size is too big. I skipped the dinobots altogether. Hoping they downsize him. Cheers to all that want this!

    The Shockwave's Lab SL101 SS86 Grimlock sword is still a good, available option. That's what I'm using and it looks great. It does have the weird, tapered handle they were using for a while, but it fits well and the plastic is even a VERY similar color to what they used on SG Grimlock's chest.

    It's nice to see Grimmy prep for Halloween like that. He should come with a spooky hat or trick'or'treat bag! :D
