I would have removed that crown if it was molded in. That looks stupid. Am I the only one that really likes the WWI Grimlock. The old warrior who really wants to be the crap out of Megs? That is the personality my Grimlock is getting. NO stupid serving tray.

 

I see an awesome jet pack

 

I think mulanzo did a good job on the digibash, it gives an idea/reference (somewhat) how the toy will look like in color.

 

I'll wait for us edition

 

No thanks.

 

Need explanation

Yes, why is he carrying a tray of drinks??

 

It's from season 3 "Madman's Paradise":

 

This reason.

  Mine too, weih , brudder!

Nothing we can do to save it, ah? hehe...

Eh, btw ru on TransMy website?  

Thx and cheers... malaysians are far and few on TFW2005..  

 

Sillier than the waiter serving tray?

The crown is from his short-lived and corrupt leadership of the Autobots in the Marvel comics  

Cartoon Grimlock was dumb. US Marvel comics Grimlock was just a stubborn asshole. Bob Budiansky started out writing him as speaking normally, but later picked up the cave man speak from the cartoons.

But he still thinks in regular english, as seen in "King of the Hill":

 

Masterpiece-line TFs are pretty much loaded with obscure crap only dealt with for short periods of time. ('cept maybe Starscream) Grimlock is unique in being one of the only ones with a Comics-based accessory instead of exclusively cartoon and animated movie - based ones. Perhaps that's a clue that Hasbro had some involvement or influence here (and will hopefully release it in the west sooner or later), as Japan had relatively little exposure to the Marvel TF comics. (me think)

I do think the obscure accessories are getting weirder and wackier as they go. Optimus got an axe and in-scale gun Megatron. Megatron got a 'found' laser pistol and Kremzeek. Grimlock gets a brain transfer hat and a tray of drinks (any bets on whether he gets a cloth apron to go with it?)

 

Lol i like the images with Grimlock and Optimus its quite funny, plus the other images aren't too bad either, more of a look-see to how it'll look up close and personal

 

Why ... ... aren't you?

 

Liking MP-Grimlock so far & also might get the Mickey-former for my daughter.  

 

that's how I'd assume his colors to be. I was gonna display him in robot mode, but if the Dino colors are even similar to that, there's no way I'd display him any other way. His color pattern is just so perfect. Plus looking at his robot mode, his back is not gonna be pretty, but noboy would see it anyway

 

I am not sure if this is covered already, but according to the text Grimlock's head/neck is interlocked with his legs and tail, and by "stomping" his feet his head moves up and down. Likewise by moving his tail the head turns left to right. It also mentions "biting" gimmick and an apron will be also included  

As for this Maruzen store, they are basically a wholeseller, this Grimlock price is when you buy a box of 4. They apparently ship outside Japan and take paypal. I have not used them myself though.

Nah, you're not, I prefer the "Simon Furman Grimlock" also, it's just that there are a lot of cartoon fans about.

 

I personally don't know if I'm going to display it in robot mode or Dino mode. Both are going to be fantasmic. Maybe I'll buy 2!
