Takara loves their obscure references - and I love them for it.

And there we go. <3

Get off my internet!  

 

Grimlock, you will be mine. you will..... be mine.. can't wait.

 

Mickey is love.

But that grimlock...

OMFG! I want that! But it's missing a massive Computron to dump his brain into. Otherwise, THAT'S what I'm talking bout should be used for the movie as a nod. Dead on perfect mix of simplicity and complexity in an iconic shell that just screams fun and very photographic and poseable. So scrumptious.

Meg's random gun is the one he shot prime with from the movie.
Kremzeek was odd though.
Butler grimlock is awesome funny.
Brain Drain Helmet is kickass too.
Starscream really got the shaft though on accessories and size.

 

Not really, his are just more integrated

He has a mounting bracket to hold the Megatron pistol that comes with Optimus, referencing that one time Megatron attached to his underbelly in jet mode.

He has the chest missiles, again which appeared in maybe one episode.

He has Dr. Acheville.

He has the alternate 'smirk' face.

He comes with a stand that can hold him in robot mode or jet mode flying, or serve as a stand for him in Robot mode or jet mode just sitting on it, as well as provide a mount for unused weapons (Either Null rays or missiles). The stand can also store all of his accessories - including the clear mount for flying poses - on the underside

He also has an alt mode that's visually realistic enough to put the Alternators to shame. The level of detail is just obscene.

So no, I don't think Screamer got shafted at all.

 

Great points Polenicus, It's a shame there will always be disappointment in something by people. MP Starscream is my favorite toy of all time and I'll leave it at that as I don't wanna steer this thread away from the awesomeness that is MP Grimlock.

I might've missed it, but where did somebody say you can have his eyes red or blue?

 

He seems to in scale with classics?

 

Apparently it's in the list of features. How exactly that gimmick works...well, that's what I'd like to know.

 

OMG! This Grimlock MP looks amazing! I can't wait...

 

I hope I am able to get this Grimlock when it comes out. I don't care for the serving tray or even the "brain drain" device, but I think it is great that they are including a crown.

It's a shame that his right hand isn't articulated. I would rather have full articulation than a light up accessory.

 

He looks real good, but I'm still going to take a wait and see attitude on him.
