I'm disappointed that it appears Hasbro didn't have much to do with this toy as he is *very* cartoon-based judging by his serving tray and brain transfer thingy device accessories. I'd have preferred to see character injected into his design with the Marvel comics depiction of him in mind, but of course, the G1 cartoon was all Japan ever had for his characterisation.

I hope this toy isn't as fiddly and fragile as Starscream and Megatron were.

My god that's awesome. Now I can't wait for this guy! Although should this be moved to the other thread or not? Just a thought.

TF@TM has (some rather small) scans of the two full pages.

Proves that Henkei C-17 is Armada Hot Shot (aka Micron Densetsu Hot Rod) rather than Smokescreen.

Serious?

Looks like the original upscaled. I always wondered why would anyone want a mp grimlock, and now I'm really wondering why anyone would want a mp grimlock. What a wasted opportunity on doing something good, (devastator for one).

I am dissapointed that the went for the cartoon look of the alt mode and that they wasted their time with that stupid cartoon waiter kit.

I will still get it but this is indeed a missed opportunity for something better.

What bugs me more is that the 'tripod' T-Rex mode does not hold very well these days. It looks ridiculous and more comedic than menacing.

Bad move Takara.

Don't forget the very simple looking shell transform. Not a mp.

The mp line should be canned right now. They havn't had a good one since mp02.

Comic Relief Grimlock is likely the most familiar depiction of Grimlock to Japanese fans and to Takara

He wasn't comic relief in Season 1-2. Why did they focus on his Season 3 depiction based on the accessories given???

Cultural reasons? The waiter thing is 'cutesy'. As I recall, the comic relief-ness of the Dinobots were carried through to Headmasters, though Headmasters did dumb down many characters for no apparent reason.

Besides, I don't think there is much else you could give him in terms of accessories from Season 1 and 2.
