    Appears to be a homage to Powermaster figures. I am iffy on this until I see colour pictures. Though it does look to have high articulation.

    The 1st one is supposedly meant to be a homage to that pre-G1 Dreamwave Grimlock, I can't remember the specific name of that line of comics though sorry.
    I can see Roadbuster in the sculpt though in certain areas.

    Man, this will ROCK

    And it was from War Within, my favourite comic series ever.

    I honestly don't see this as a homage to anyone. It looks to be a completely new character. The only thing resembling War Within Grimlock is the pipes coming out of the shoulder - Take that out and he doesn't really resemble any existing character.

    This looks very good but I need to see colored pics. It also looks like in these promo pics, the waist is mistransformed. The pictures shown at Botcon had the waist secured in place.

    You make a fair point Kup, if the colour scheme is good though I'll be more than happy to retcon him into the Hurstyverse.
    With his waist, could it be that it is trying to show off it's articulation? - As that is a terribly Japanese Mecha pose right there.

    I don't think it's a one-for-one replica of WW Grimlock but it's a very strong homage if you look at it in both modes. Much like Generations aren't straight G1, this very much fits taht molld of release that FP have been going for.

    Agreed, that was my thought too and I am very, very pleased with the that level of articulation. Awesome.

    I dunno about Grimlock, the face is wrong and bits of the vehicle and the robot head, make it look more like Optimus to me. Sure hope not though, as there are enough Optimi around.
