Not a bad silhouette, however the head looks more like Skybyte than Grimlock. Pretty menacing though

:confused:Very Japanese esque but not what I would like Grimlock to look like:(
It's seems they try to go as far away from the originals as possible. I will get used to it over time. But couldn't he look a little like G1? Prime does particularly his head
Could it have killed bay to keep a IDW inspired face?
Eh, could be worse. Will hold off final judgement until we see him in the cyber-flesh but at least it looks kinda badass.
I've felt strongly since Sideswipe in ROTF that they are either changing things for the sake of changing things or are just using names randomly. Out of all the characters I've felt it was SSwipe that had deviated from his original form as much as possible the most. While I have no issue with the Bayverse doing it's own unique spin on the TF universe, I am in agreement that at least a bit more of a shout out to G1 would be most welcome indeed. Many of these characters are turning 30 next year, and the reason for their enduring popularity is that they were so great the way they were. Hence, to use ROTF as an example again, why I loved Long Haul's look and quite liked Ravage, but Mixmaster and Arcee did nothing for me.
It does appear that way doesn't it? I'm also fine with modern interpretation and updating characters but it would make sense to retain some core design elements. Otherwise the name really means nothing, particularly if there are no personality traits retained either
Another look at Grimlock on some licensed merchandise... and a laser-tag type licensed set, which is kinda funny if you think about it (you basically have Optimus and Bumblebee trying to shoot each other).
Nice. Apparently this is a hero masher. Much like the super hero mashers you can remove parts and mix and match

Another Hasbro mix 'n' mash range? :rolleyes:
