    Not a fan of the dino head. Other than that this looks like the MP with add details.

    They said they're doing up to 10 and Paddles might be one of them.

    Looks pretty decent. I don't really care for how small the feet are in bot mode and the neck area in dino mode seems a tad thin, but other than that, it's a good looking Classics Grimlock. Still, if this didn't combine to form the gestalt torso, I'd be hard pressed to call this an improvement over the Masterpiece mold which works just as well if not better in a Classics display, scale-wise.

    The robot mode actually is pretty nice looking, but the dino mode is a bit of a mixed bag for me. The head looks really small for that body and the neck seems too long. Maybe they had to use these proportions to work in the supposed combined mode. (still no news on those feet parts?)

    Holy Jesus. This third party idea is a HUGE fuck-up by Hasbro for not doing this.

    If has/tak had made this, they'd make bank. They really need to study more stuff like this, and not all these shampoo bottle bullshit inarticulate crap.

    To me, toyworld knocked these out of the park. Sadly MPs and savings are coming first these days, but if I do feel the need for a set of classics Dinobots, these are at the top of my list. Looks great.

    I'm still on the hunt for a 'play set' bunch of Dinobots for my collection, and I'm torn between ToyWorld and Gigapower for it.

    I'm going for FT's Dibots as far as my MP collection goes (thanks primarily to Soar, as Swoop was my favourite Dinobot), but I want something that can take the punishment of numerous transformations and posing...

    Man, they did good jobs of NOT having kibble on Roar and Muddy's legs, but now the extra tail bit on CoreLock's...missed it by that much

    It looks pretty good. Its surprisingly slavish to the G1 design until you get to the dino forms head. They diverged just a little to much and I'm afraid that changes to his face did not flatter him so much. With a little tweaking, this design could be great.

    This looks fantastic in my opinion. Dino mode is a tad bit off, but holy hell that robot mode is sexy

    Looks great, but I'm waiting for Gigapower and FansToys to reveal their Grimlocks

    I think the chrome neck is a little off, but overall solid. If the lower part of his collar were grey instead of chrome in Dino mode I think it would be much improved. Thanks to @ian_reid:

    Not bad, but nothing I'd be interested in.

    I dig it. I didnt realize the neck was on a swivel until daim choc pointed it out.

    I like the fact that he can be posed godzilla style or T-rex style.

    I take it this is designed to be IDW-accurate?
