Do want, I can't wait to get this guy. I only hope I am as impressed with Swoop as I am with Grimlock and Snarl/Slag.

 

I Must Have 2 Of These Asap!

 

is it wrong for a toy to give you a woody?

 

Echoing a lot of previous replies here: Love it. Pay homage to the great G1 character I loved as a kid, transformation and all. I especially like that he's not as dumpy as the original character-much leaner, faster, and tougher looking. Kudos to the designers for making a classic even better.

 

Tasty
Thats another one to the ever growing animated want list

 

Truly awesome! I really hope that he is the largest voyager in animated.(or they make a leader class!)

Can't wait for comparison pics.

 

What "main networks children watch"? You mean show it once a week on saturday morning and ignore the chance to give it free syndication after the end of the first season? Because all those 'main network' cartoons don't see as much air time as a CN original cartoon will because CN can put their shows on during the daytime, on weekdays, so more kids can, and will, watch. The major networks only show cartoons now once a week, so their not being watched by as many kids as the full time cartoon channels.

Hasbro had a great idea to go with CN on this show, as they not only got a great team behind it, but they have near guarenteed weekday syndication down the road, meaning kids will see this show a lot more often then they'll see those other saturday morning cartoons. Nowadays Cable is the place to go if kids want to watch cartoons because the major networks just don't show any.

As for Grimlock, he looks great but that steamshovel chin still bothers me. It's still up in the air whether i'll get him or not.

 

Sexy.

 

That's pretty sweet.

As far as a lightup sword... highly highly doubtful, but if you recall, Micron Legend Hot Rod (yanno, Hot Shot?) had a light up hand for the Star Saber... so it's a very very very small possibility.

 

I really like it. Its shaping up to be a really cool line. I wasn't sure about it, but I've watched a few episodes in the last few days, and I have to say Grimlock is my fav so far...

 

I love the figure. I hope there is some way to the hide the sword when he is a T-rex though.

I am.
But, you know, I actually think the American Godzilla looked cool.
I liked the character design even though I had major problems with the movie itself.

Not trying to argue (and slightly off topic) but I think Hasbro has definitely succeeded in making Transformers popular again. I think they may be more popular now than they ever were.
My kid loves the Animated cartoon. His friends in school watch it and talk about it.
The movie has been insanely popular, and even though the last few waves of toys have been largely just repaints, they continue to sell out everywhere I look.
Even some of the FABs which I thought would be shelf warmers sell well.

 

Grimlock is 'teh awesomness' but I can unfortunately see this figure going the way of Concept BB from the movie line - rediculously scalped. I just hope I find mine before the scalpers do.

 

Personally, I don't think we'll have a big problem with scalpers with this line (at least not as big as we did with the movie line). This line will be aimed at just kids, so there won't be as much competition from other age groups wanting them, so I don't think scalpers will see much potential in the line for profit like they did with the movie line. Hopefully Grimlock isn't hard to find, as I can't wait to get him (possibly more than one of him too). It'd be cool to see an Activators version of him, and possibly a Leader class version, but that's unlikely at the moment, imo, though it would be really cool to see and get.

 

ugh il have to get him too animated is just to cool the color scheme is very g1ish and it also adds some new elements to it to its just to bad theres only a picture of him in dino mode but thats awsome

 

Keep in mind the arms are mistransformed, the black bits slide into the upper arms, the dino head should flip up, and the dino arms should fold into the wings.

 

OH

MY

GOD!!!


*paws at screen*


My precious, must have MY PRECIOUS!!! 

 

Grimlock = Epic Success!  

 

Good god... the show-to-toy accuracy of these things is unreal! Not only am I completely sold on this series - which has already turned out to be the single most unique line if TF ever imo - but now I'm considering buying doubles of each figure to the bot & alt modes looking so good.

 

Looks Great.

 

ME GRIMLOCK ...KING!

other than Prime, Grimlock and Magnus are my favorite characters!

Bring on MP-07
