I can't wait to get mine, though as soon as I do that green is coming off.

Im skipping this one. They really should have gone for the blue G2 repaint instead. It would have sold better. Now they'll probably come out with Zenith Forge and Iron Factory sets in red to make him look halfway decent.

Highly unlikely I'll get this one. I don't think I'd want another Grimlock on my shelf as it wort of waters down the awesomeness of the character.

That deco is so awesome. Red totally suits Grimlock's intense rage and fury. :KREMZEEK:

What color LED does he use? I hate it when they use green or blue plastic but put a red LED behind it...

That Optimus riding Grimlock is gonna be a thing now, everyone's gonna be doing it.

I really really like the shade of yellow they used for the sword and shield.

When I get mine, Dinobot Magma Type will ride it, not Optimus.

Lol
But couldn't you have chosen a Prime that's better looking in alt-mode than helicopter chest Prime? :lol:

I was going for the silly scale, and couldn't get to Legends OP.

Wonder why he went with Gentei! Gentei! Thundercracker of the much nicer looking United Seekers: Aces Thundercracker.

Probably because the colours match this Thundercracker more.

I like the orangey cockpit a bit more than the clear/white cockpit, but not enough to make that huge a difference.

Neat, but not something I'd be into.

I envisioned something different. Maybe it's the lighting but yeah just a luke warm fire.

:MAXIMAL:

i noticed the dinobots all have this weird bright colors for the toys but from everything i've seen in the trailers and pics of the actual movie, they look completely metallic. do they get a paintjob once they become official autobots or are the colors REALLY muted or they just aren;t finished in the trailers?

Wow, I think the red plastic makes the LED bleed-through WORSE... Cool paint though, wish it were a US release.

Regarding the movie, I don't think we know yet, but remember ROTF Ravage was realsed in G1 Colors before his deluxe movie toy as released in his actual movie pain scheme, and we're getting Evasion Mode Prime in bright and new paint depite the acutual trust being faded, rusty, and possibly even different colors.

But this Grimlock is not actually of the Movie line, this is Fall of Cybertron grimlock being rleased in a magma-inspired paintscheme originally made for the Animated Grimlock Activators figure. So don't think this is possibly what Movie Grimlock will be painted like, cause this is jus Takara throwing around paint liberally.
