TFA Voyager Grimlock???

Ever considered a G1 Grimlock? He's much like MP grimlock except a liiiittle bit smaller

Personally, I think Voyager Grimlock is great. Okay, yeah, he has a big hole in his dinosaur mode chest which exposes his robot head (and I'm blatantly biased towards him because I love the Dinobots), but otherwise he's a really good toy. I like the other Animated Dinobots better, though, because they look, well, dinosaur-ish, whereas Grimlock looks more robotic.

Classics Grimlock is an alright toy-the dinosaur mode is his best mode. I think the Special Edition Overkill repaint is more suiting for the mold.

There is the Activator version of Grimlock. While it doesn't have the sword, it's significantly cheaper than the Voyager, and VERY significantly cheaper than MP Grimlock.

Thinking of MP Grimlock, it seems to me that he's more of a display piece than a 'toy'. I think you should take that in account (if such things matter to you, obviously) if you're thinking about getting MP Grimlock.

That's a good suggestion! Perhaps you could buy an Activator to satiate your desire for Grimlock until you can afford an MP.

Genius. This idea is full of win.

Classics Grimlock sucks, Animated Grimlock is cool, but MP Grimlock is the ducks nuts! I recommend you save your money.

Yeah and doesnt turn his head, lights up or changes eye color, but other than that, transformations the same, plus G1 Grimlock is the one that started it all anyways..... dont even start about that tray and apron brrrrr.

Although saving up for it may work out well in the end (MP grimy) as it helps keep you motivated to save, nothing like a good target to keep the inspiration up. I had to wait 22 years to get me MAX ( Brave Max) so it aint so bad, along the way your collection grows and becomes more precious and its so much satisfying to get what you really are after.

Animated Voyager Grimlock is a winner for me and I'm delighted with him both in either modes. I'd say a very good looking toy especially for animated lovers and perhaps even for some non-animated fans.

But if there'd be only one grimlock in the world that sands can buy, I'll definitely get myself an MP grimlock. Don't just buy toys for any other reasons unless you really really want it. Otherwise, the toy that you utmostly desires might still haunt you in your dreams and that's not healthy. Saving is good! And you'll never know, maybe sometime soon, an MP grimlock *cough hasbro* may pop up in our locals...

IMHO:
beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we are all going to like different figures for different reasons. TFA Grimmy may grow on you, or you might get it and hate it. This is the risk of collecting TFs. (I would love to say that I have never bought a figure I coveted, only to be incredibly disappointed it).
Being a huge Dinobot fan, and not a big fan of TFA figures, I will say that I do like my TFA Grimmy and was not at all disappointed. (esp since I got him for $40). Never been fussed on the classics version though.
For my 2 cents - perhaps save a bit and get a good condition (with all accessories etc) G1 Grimlock off ebay. Thats the real original Grimlock. Doesnt get more Grimlock than the G1 one.
Cheaper that the MP too.

Not a fan of it. Too loose, too much open space, too flimsy, too ill-thought out.
