Thanks to Transformers Perú | Facebook we have a look at some Premier Edition Toys we have seen before, but we have the first pics of TLK Premier Edition Grimlock which is a repaint of the AOE Voyager Grimlock.
The new light gray and silver deco looks great and may be one of the better repaints of the mold so far.
We can also catch a glimpse of TLK Slash colors.

Update: Thanks to 2005 boards user Saito Satoru we have an out-of-box picture of the toy

Nothing confirmed yet, but I'd say its a good possibility.

Anybody know if there will be a leader class Grimlock in this color scheme
John TheDestroyer
You wouldn't happen to have that picture in higher quality, would you? I'd love to have it as my phone wallpaper, but I don't want something so blurry lol

Thanks, it was my attempt at seeing what Galvatron was meant to look like, with Joshua modelling him on Optimus. I love how Galvatron's body, and even parts of his head, are like stylised versions on Optimus's original movie look. I gave him a 'shadow spark' makeover while all the TLK is going on
Oh yeah, been through all that! The movies aren't perfect, but what is? Love the robot designs and vehicles chosen. Which makes some of the figures all the more disappointing when paint decos are less than accurate (Voyager Optimus with colours in places where they shouldn't be and none where they should), or and repaint is forced (AOE Bumblebee being painted up to resemble the new car). Still, Toy Fair should clear a few things up.

No doubt. It's gonna be a good month lol. Sweet avatar I just noticed you have a pretty good idea for a Transformers movie look. Galvatrons movie chest/body with Optimus Primes head in a dark Rodimus type of color Very cool!
Its nice to sew movie fans now a days yoi have no idea what 2007 was like (or maybe you do) but everyone wss hating from 2006 to 2011 on movies! Except maybe the ppl that went & actually stuck up for what they believe. I love the movies probably my 2nd favorite Transformers media/line! G1 being my favorite since I was born in the late 70s, & Animated/Prime/Rid2015 being tied for 3rd.

They got the dino eyes right, it's the robot eyes they've done in blue. To be fair though Takara didn't get them 100% right with movie advanced, giving Strafe red eyes in beast mode and I'm sure something was amiss with one of the others.
Shall keep an eye out for your reviews

I haven't really paid attention to the eye color on the premier version of Grimlock. The Dino eyes are blue? How incredibly stupid if that's the case. Why does Hasbro constantly fuck shit up & TakaraTomy gets it right time and time again. Its really getting quite aggravating tbh. & don't get me wrong I like Hasbro products, but I'm all in on Movie Best! I already own the early releases of MB Megatron, Shockwave, and AOE Prime in my PW. If you wanna see reviews on the line, stay tuned for my YT channel at end of February when i ship them all together (minus Ldr Prime, Grimlock/Prime & Strafe/Bee those are March) with MB Megs, Shockwave, AOE Optimus, Starscream, Soundwave, Bee dlx, dlx Ratchet, dlx Ironhide, TT Legends Astrotrain, & Legends LioConvoy, VAH Usopp, MP Cheetor & Grapple & my Gashapon Gaogaigar mini figure of the SOC. I figured I'd wait & ship them all together.

I didnt say Slash lol. Unless youe quoting a different quote of mine but I said Slug. The Slag looking motherfucker
John TheDestroyer
Only 5 days till Toy Fair, guys
Furnace
You and me both, brother.
John TheDestroyer
I dunno why, but I much prefer the Dinobots in robot mode (in any continuity). For some reason it bothers me when they decide to fight in dino mode instead of robot mode.

Hopefully we will, but it'd be good if all the characters got the Platinum treatment this time. I still think it was a shame the didn't do a Galvatron/Lockdown/Stinger set or a premium version of High Octane Bumblebee.

Grimlock looks…alright? Would be nice to get a GOOD version of him.
Moy
I'm betting the majority people do too, but I belong with the minority. The knight modes were very appealing to me.
Furnace
Maybe so, but we still did get lots of repaints in the AOE line, in the form of Platinum Edition boxed sets. I'm still holding out hope. As for the 'Premier' moniker, well, Hasbro's gotta sell those toys somehow, right?
emoo
Yeah but ROTF was one of the bigger longer running movie lines with new molds and repaints of character not seen on screen that eventually lead to the hftd line. Dotm had a much smaller line, with aoe being even smaller yet. Chances are you are seeing what your getting here, or vary close to it. I"d say even a second deluxe BB appearing is going to be slim to none and if they wanted a BB repaint they should have just used one from the original trilogy since it matches his robot mode in TLK unlike the AOE Repaint.
User_136440
Oh no I quite like how they use their dino modes.
Moy
I was hoping for his robot mode in the box art.
