Hasbro has just shared a new Leaked From Cybertron video via their Facebook account. Now it’s time to trace the evolution of the King of the Dinobots: Grimlock.
This video features the schematics, gray prototype (Dino mode and Volcanicus torso) and the final colored product of the Power Of The Primes Voyager Grimlock for your viewing pleasure.
Hasbro have been very active sharing these videos. So far we have seen the Studio Series Blackout and Grimlock & Power of the Primes Dinobots Slash, Sludge, Slug (G1 Slag), Snarl, and Swoop.
Check out the clip and screen caps below, then join in the discussion on the 2005 boards!

Yeah. The only one that was better in the concept art was Slash.

It's so hard to look at this Grimlock. They just didn't even try.
Xaxis
All of these “leaks” have been extremely underwhelming. Not to mention the terrible pacing.
Toolala
It should have been leaked straight to the garbage.
Composite Ghost
Oh wow! Pictures of a toy I've had for two months minus the color!
Sovietbot
Here!)
KO OS POTP dinobots
BiggestGrimlockFan
Holy heck, where did you find those?
Porkulus
Is it possible that Hasbro couldn't find/didn't care to find/didn't want to find the actual concept sketches and just applied a line art filter to an image of MP-08, so they could put out similar social media content for all of the dinobots?
or was there never a concept sketch to begin with…?

I suppose it's possible that the main idea of this figure was something along the lines of, "Let's make a toy that's as close as possible to MP-08 Grimlock, but at a price that kids can afford." Even if we assume that, however, that drawing doesn't show much of an effort to adapt or simplify MP-08 Grimlock. That IS MP-08 Grimlock.

Lol it's Masterpiece Grimlock

So this was leaked from an image of the gray-model, and the stock photography that has the dino legs posed wrong at an angle where it looks its worst, and a sketch of a different figure?
King Glurch
Wish the legs transformed the same…
Sovietbot
KO KO, but sometimes they look better than the originals!
MegaDolrailer
You prove your point by… posting pictures of knock offs of the original toys? those look exactly like the official ones Einstein.
I noticed this too lol, right down to the weird rounded hands, i suppose even the final toy is based on MP-08 but this is even more so.
Lord Of Tetris
It doesn't even seem like the concept artist did his job. Assuming the job was, "Draw a picture of a new, combining, Voyager-size, relatively-inexpensive Grimlock toy," all he did was draw MP-08 Grimlock.
That's literally a drawing of MP-08 Grimlock.
YoungPrime
The only POTP Dinobot so disappointing that I had to skip it.
FOC's Grimlock isn't perfect either but this version of Grimlock or that crappy combiner gimmick does nothing that makes it worth replacing him on my shelf.

Now . . . we just need Volcanicus
Sovietbot
When the concept sketch was better than the finished product.
P.S Even third-party manufacturers have started to do better than the official.
