Vermillion21 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Those fists were the first thing I zoomed in on when the page loaded. If only the real combiner had fists like that. Yeah, I agree. if they only had fist attachments, it would make them somewhat better.
mikeszekely Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Does yours have the sides of the windscreen painted? I hate that about the paint apps! I've managed to get two of them (one's destined to be repainted as Thundercracker). Both are in good shape... tight joints, both feet, null rays fit snugly. But yeah, both of them have paint on the windscreen.
GobotFool Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Whoo hoo!!! http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/s...oystore-165997/
BoBe-Patt Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 awwww yeah! I'm buying two of those! Hope he'll have as much metal as MP Prime!
Hoptimus Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I really hope MP Grimlock is true. I will get two!!
RichterX Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 how more confirmed is this rumor of MP Grimlock compared to when it was first rumored last year?
Alpha OTS Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 how more confirmed is this rumor of MP Grimlock compared to when it was first rumored last year? BBTS confirmed it here: http://tformers.com/transformers-bigbadtoy...10319/news.html I'm probably one of the few who is a bit meh on the news. My WST Grimlock's enough Grimlock for me.
kaiotheforsaken Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I haven't bought any of the MP line since Prime, but Grimlock certainly has my interest. I'm looking forward to seeing some prototypes.
Veritas Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Great news, happy to finally get confirmation of pending release. Now than, considering the price point, as long as his height is somewhat in line with MP Prime and even MP Megs i won't hesitate to pick him up, if his proportions are more in line with MP seekers however, i'll have to take a second look. Edited October 14, 2008 by Veritas
speedracex Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I really cant wait for this one, im glad the rumor is now truth, cant wait to see some pics eventually
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 OoooOoooo Grimlock MP-08 hey??? Just noticed the closed thread, and not being a Tranny Fan i never look here lol. So any pics? Just a shadow? Wonder if he'll come on hlj.com. Besides Starscream (never got) Grimlock would be my only other want for a tranny toy.
Veritas Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) From TFW2005: BBTS has just put up a preorder for "Shadow Commander" the previously shown black repaint of the "City Commander" armor. This confirms rumors that this set will be available to the public! Preorder: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...amp;mode=retail Still on the fence about this one myself, but if any of you are interested you might want to act on that impulse since the production run is reportedly only 1/2 of what it is for the City Commander (Ultra Magnus) armor.

VFTF1 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I'm kind of meh about Grimlock too. He's one of the technically EASY TFs to do, so not really a big deal to get an MP version engineered - not as much as engineering Megatron or Starscream was... This of course makes me wonder who will be next in line... Pete

RichterX Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) the important question is, will MP Grimlock come with a Petrorabbit is the helicopter/ car transformer next to Grimmy Springer? Edited October 15, 2008 by RichterX
DHX Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 the important question is, will MP Grimlock come with a Petrorabbit is the helicopter/ car transformer next to Grimmy Springer? no it's Armada Hot Shot and Jolt
RichterX Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 no it's Armada Hot Shot and Jolt oh i thought it was a triple changer not Hot Shot with minicon...
Hoptimus Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Sure Grimlock is not a complicated Transformer. The thing is with this MPC version he should look amazingly detailed and have posability that cant be matched! I cant wait.
penachoy Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Now that we are going to have a masterpiece grimlock. Takara bring on masterpeice soundwave!
protostar8 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I think that Grimlock is overpriced at 13650Yen. Part of the high cost of other Masterpieces (first release of the molds anyway) was the engineering cost. He's pretty damn simple, so even if the size will be larger, the money saved on engineering should offset that increase. But they know that dino freaks will pay out the ass for him, so he's been overpriced.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) me too! Always wanted a Grimlock toy ever since i saw a dinobot heavy episode when i was a kid. He's the best! big, dumb, and bad ass. an Unstoppable Force! He was the HERO autobot for me, and Starscream was the best bad guy. Both his forms remind me of Super Robots, and Godziller. Not a huge fan of either categories but he's just too cool to miss. I still should track down a MP Starscream one day too... :edit: Can't remember correctly, wasn't there an episode where they supersized Grimlock somehow and they did a Godziller take?

Who or what is Petrorabbit? Sorry, i never watched enough episodes as a kid to remember. Not that i care but it's interesting coz Grim is cool.
SuperHobo Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Well some of you guys can bitch and moan at this guy being over prived, but for me its a must have purchase!
Dangard Ace Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Need more info before declaring MP Grimlock overpriced. Is he in scale to MP Prime? If yes then he's worth it as Grimlock is supposed to be heads and shoulders taller. If he's not then he's overpriced. I'm actually more excited about the reissue of Iron Hide. Need him for my G1 collection and he absolutely owned Grimlock in the comics.

I think Grimlock owned Ironhide in a biiiiig way! worse design ever!
IXTL Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 According to the product description for Grimlock, he will have a waiter mode (i.e. apron plus tray) to homage this scene from S3 episode "Madman's Paradise". He will also have a brainwave transporter, used in the episode "Grimock's New Brain". The right fist will have an LED powered by 3x LR44 batteries which will light up his sword and blaster. The dino and bot mode eyes can switch between G1 toy colour (red) and G1 cartoon colour (blue).
