This new Grimlock toy is clearly and heavily inspired by the older Masterpiece Grimlock toy. As this new toy has less gimmicks it actually feels like an improvement over the MP toy in a number of ways. I feel it has better proportions in robot mode and better shoulder articulations. The Wheelie figure (although non-transformable) is a very, very nice bonus.

The toy also has 5mm peg holes all over the body (shoulders, forearms, legs, feet, back), just like the Siege/Earthrise toys. So it's possible this was originally intended to be a WFC toy.

This toy feels large and dense compared to other leader class toys in more recent years. A very, very nice addition if you're already collecting other Earthrise or Studio Series 86 toys,
