Grimlock Review

Highlights:
- NO QC Issues
- very sturdy
- cool features
- great leg articulation

Things to note:
- Main die-cast is in the waste (with some in the chest and the dino arms are die-cast)
- Similar transformation to G1 apart from the feet
- About the height of the universe combiners
- We still have to wait two weeks

He seems to shrink with every pic!

He is about as as tall as an MP seeker without the stand but excellent news on the lack of bad QC.

The size was a big concern for me when I first found out, but looking at the image of megs, prime, skywarp and grimlock together, grimlock seems to have a lot more detail in the actual mold (ie: like the inside of his wings?). I know Prime and Megs don't allow for that given their characters but if I had to chose between size or detail I'd go detail. That's why THS-02 is so awesome!

Geeez I thinke he looks bigger than I excpected. With all the whinging I assumed he was even smaller than an MP seeker, but he's actualy a little bigger .

The fact that they've gone to town with the detail makes him actualy fit in a lot better with the the MP seekers and Binaltech than Prime and Megs who look rather simple by comparison, If Grimlock had been that big they'd probably have to reduce the detail to make him fit in with the leaders.

After seeing these comparions pics I can honestly say I'm not bugged by the size at all.

Interesting to note is that he's in scale with them perfectly... something unheard of in Transformers! Everyone hit the deck! What I mean is that in the show the Seekers were about the height of Prime and Megs, very close from memory, and Grimlock was about a head taller than Optimus, and he is now a head taller than the MP Seekers. I could still grumble and moan about his size in my own way but I'm too grumble and moaned out.
