Can I have your original grimlock when you get this toy then? :)

Don't be too dismissive with an uncoloured prototype. Most prototypes are panned by fans, but the coloured or finished versions get quite a bit of support. MP Starscream (the white one at least) was well received by fans, but the uncoloured prototype (the later modded version) was bagged pretty heavily. There are just too many details lost in the uncoloured prototype to judge it fairly, because only the people at Hasbro/Takara are working with a colour scheme from the beginning, giving them a complete picture.
Re-assess it when a coloured version comes out, and if you still don't like it, fair enough. I think there will be plenty of fans who will buy a giant sized Grimlock with Gen1 styled transformation (like the other MPs).

And it looks like Hasbro might be releasing it in the later half of next year anyway, after the movie line is winding up...

Yeah I also think we shouldn't be too disappointed with the prototype mode as well, wait till you get better photos of the figure. But for me it's Grimlock, it's a MP and it's a dinobot, so it's a must buy for me.

On the other hand, amidst all the rambling, did anyone realised it says that the release date is on March 2009? ;)

Robot will look better coloured, but don't expect it to look much different in dino mode, it'll still be all grey. :) Plus the detailing I do see turns me off, looks like he's got a robot skin disease.

But the thing that's really getting me is the very simple look of it. It's not a 13000yen toy. It should be a supreme.

I suppose though with it's very low sub-par for a MP transformation, it'll be something that not too much time should have been wasted on and to be something they can throw out there and say "here it is, now shut up about grimlock and let us design something kick arse". :D

"But also in the meantime, here's a white one called overkill". :D :D

Not that I wouldnt buy the coloured version, but I think an entirely grey unpainted MP figure of this guy would be nice. If only they sold it like that.

Heh, imagine making a mp model kit. :) Now that would be cool. The simplistic look of this mould would do pretty well for that I think.

Gobots style? That would so not work... :rolleyes:

a g2 recolour would be nice.

oh it is pure sex!

Oooh nice! While I agree it is a bit of a waste for the MP Category, I'm still going to by this sexy brute. How do they choose what comes next? I mean a lot of Autobots were well represented in Binaltech/Alternators and I think the two (Masterpiece and BinALts) lines look good together. Jetfire Maybe? Just by a Hikaru VF-1 from Macross.

I think the design sums up Grimlock quite well. From an Autobot POV his alt mode is designed to get the job done, reckless brute force, he's a blunt instrument. Grimlock is not about being a pretty robot, save the aethetics for the Sideswipes and the vain Starscreams.

MP Soundwave: Has been released its just called Music Label! :D

MP: Devastator, I will eat every key on my keyboard if that ever happens. And I wont take any fibre supplements after! :D

I'd like to see an MP Arcee. We never got her in G1 and I think the MP line would be perfect for her. Whatever happens I'd hate to be the designers, no matter what they do someone will hate it. :)
