Well lets not get ahead of ourselves, TakTom have been screwing things up much more than Hasbro lately.

So I hear, though so far I've gotten of ok. But Hasbro still has a negative MP score from 2 different releases of MP Prime inferior to the Takara Version, and a positive with One improved Starscream.

So there score is -1 + -1 + 1 = -1.

Whats the little doobything on the top of Grimbos head in one of the small shots?

Looks VERY cool though.

As of late, the problem with Takara-Tomy though is not so much the paint or materials used, its them allowing toys out of the factory with horrendous manufacturing issues.

I have been burned by two Henkei so far with Ironhide and Streak. Streak was the worse, much worse that I needed to buy a Universe version to 'repair' it.

Is it the thingy he used to transfer his intelligence to the technobots?

[GoktimusPrime]

Yup. From the episode "Grimlock's New Brain" where, for a short while, Grimlock didn't act like a raging retard in a post-season 2 cartoon appearance!

and sounded like Skyfire when he had his super intelligence

[Hot Rodimus]

HA ha

I personaly liked Grimlock more as a raging retard, it just seemed to fit the character better. I am a Grimmie fan though.

I gotta disagree grimlock was better in the comics, especially his earlier apperances in marvels transformers run. You should have a look at them and dreamwaves war within series and it'll change your mind

[Hot Rodimus]

Hmm, ok Swoop, I stand corrected.... thinking back to the comics I have read (end of the Road line & All Fall Down line) Grimmie is not a raging retard in those and actually shows intelligence and a cunning that is impressive. I actually really enjoyed his involement in these story lines and made me like him more.

I haven't read War Within but have seen it mentioned on these boards a bit so I will look out for it (and Minimal/Maximum Dinobots)

I still think he was too smart in the toons before he gave his brains to the techno bots though.

I agree which is why I'm so keen for a Grimlock MP, though I thought the end run of the Marvel US series really made Grimlock interesting, he's the character who walks that fine line between the light and the dark, the anti hero of the Transformers universe.
