@Deadpool1287, yes in real life that is true a tyrannosaurus is larger than a lion, but this is fantasy. We all suspend our disbelief in reality that sentient robots from planet cybertron, transforms from robot mode to earth based things, so in this reality a lion can be the same size as a tyrannosaurus.

‘Bout damn time.

 

The end is nigh  

 

Why has every company, official and 3P, designed their MP Grimlock with supersized shoulders?

 

He doesn't sit on his throne. He hovers above it.

 

When you can make those pastels look that tough, you can do what you want.

 

Agreed, they seem larger than they should be !!
But I'm also a little disappointed with his legs as well, they seem pretty skinny overall !!!

 

Yeah these proportions are extremely funky.

 

Looking good to me.

Well if the shoulders were smaller it would probably make the Dinosaur legs to small, so to skinny overall!

The hole in the back is for the T-rex head to slide in would be my guess maybe that is part of what is propping him up.

If the legs were to fat the tail section would be to big and make the alt mode not proportionate maybe we should go back to the toy and have the tail hanging on the side of the leg to add bulk.

 

Because it looks better  

 

Me Grimlock king even with pink crotch!

 

I’m the biggest Grimlock fan you’ll meet, BUT even I will be passing on this.

1. Design looks very dated
2. Proportions are completely wrong
3. Very wonky presence (I’ve seen him in person)

 

this lot take so long i thought fanstoys were bad   lucky this is the only dino of theirs i want and have the fanstoys standin

 

I am giving Gigapower the benefit of doubt, as they earned it. So far 4/5 of there releases are arguably the best dinobots on the market.

 

Because Grimlock and the rest of the Dinobots are meant to be giant hulking Transformers equivelent of strongmen, and strongmen don't have tiny arms.

 

Did they do a redesign from the render on page 1? It's hard for me to tell on my phone..

 

Yeah, probably. It would have been possible though for at least one company to have an idea how to shrink those shoulders when transforming Grimlock to robot mode. (Maybe by collapsing the them...) Instead all companies decided to use the dino legs the same way. That's a bit unimaginative.

 

I do now want Easter variant Grimlock but with bunny ears [or a Pope hat] instead of his crown.
