Thanks to Youtuber Kevin Liu and boards member Bountyan (screencaps), we have our first in-hand look of the upcoming Power of the Primes Wave 1 Voyager Grimlock! In both Slug and Swoop’s video reviews, Liu demonstrates how they combine with the Dinobot leader. He also gives us a better look at how they scale with one another in both robot and dino modes, and gives us a quick glance at the new member of the team, Slash.
Check out the screencaps from the videos after the jump and be sure to share your thoughts in the thread below!

Trade one isshe for another, it's the game we play, all the apps and paint on my copy are great, it just won't tab in torso mode. Bummer

lol there's a lot of pieces, it is a bit hard to explain without pics. Either way, hope ye can get a new one
PrimalFury
I think you may have misunderstood, the "click" is on the forearms not the Dino chest, the forearms are what I've been talking about

Just got another Grim, shoulders lock in better along gold chest piece for torso but leg stickers are close to edges, peeling risk.

Mine does not click on that part either.
The rest of the arm shouldn't be able to move even without that shoulder (dino chest) part connected.
Not saying yours isn't really broken though, sucks you got a dud and hope you can get a replacement!
PrimalFury
It's a qc issue on my figure, the arms of grimlock which you fold and lock in under the dino chest halve which forms the shoulder does NOT clip in, it just soft tabs. Other copies there will be an audible and strong click. It's an issue with the figure that can't be fixed, I've tried many times. Will just have to return it eventually.

Im just not sure what you mean. If done correctly, you shouldn't be able to move or rotate anything without snapping the clear plastic right off and breaking it.
In the very top of Grimlocks shoulders (the big ball parts) there's a tab inside a cavity, that tabs into the clear plastic part of his chest plate (right by the ratcheting should joint) This round grey should part and the clear chest should sit right flush with no gaps.
His lower arms fold in to reinforce this, then his back shoulder blades (with the dino arms) reinforce it a third time
PrimalFury
It's the left arm, picture wouldn't show anything, it looks exactly the same as any other copy.
rapid_fire
Yep! And which arm? Can you take a picture?
PrimalFury
So does anyone have V Grimlock? I do, one of the arms don't peg in torso mode, for those without qc issues, can you rotate the combiner arms without the shoulders coming undone?

I got an email saying they don’t have it in stock and I won’t get it before Christmas. Oh well. After Christmas this guy is going to be everywhere so there’s no real loss.

Amazon has become horrendous for preordering anything the last few years.
I think this year alone I have gotten maybe 3 out of 10 things on time
I’ve gotten so many $10 “please understand” rewards from this, however I don’t care about any reimbursement. I just want my orders.
I’ve all but stopped preordering anything from them if I can help it.
The amazon custom support will always tell you things are fine at first and offer to upgrade your shipping to over night. They are trained to make you go away and give a buffer of time in case things are just behind.
Amazon oversold grimlock, plain and simple.
You’ll get it whenever they get a restock from their supplier chain.

Be NICE to the worker on the phone and they will sometimes hook it up.
if you get an asshole just hang up and call back until you get someone you vibe with. I actually do this and it works for me.
Simple shit like " hey so and so how you are YOU this season… I know this isn't yoru fault… thank you for trying so hard to help I know its gota suck sitting there all day…"
Can be fake as hell they don't care I bet you will be the only person today to be NICE to them and you can get free stuff

It’s was my southern charm ; )
DMaynor23

ORIO
Dude. They didn’t offer me anything either. Wtf
