So it's not likely to work well

This was an old picture from Figure King

While I'm not aware if SS Grimlock was designed particularly to be a noble steed for Optimus Prime (vs something like RTS Wreck-Gar who has molding and connection tabs so he can ride a mold mate or himself), what I know is that he's big and sturdy enough so you can sit some Voyager Primes, like Evasion, TLK or SS on him and look decent. Of those, SS Prime is the smallest and more articulated one, so he fits better riding Grimlock.

Huh?

Wait they made Optimus compatible with SS grimlock?
Lazerwave
One thought is since they are making a new Drift, they may make Slug for Drift to ride. Just like how they made Optimus compatible with Studio Series Grimlock.

YES! I hope they redo all the dinobots as leader class, I need a more movie acurate Scowl. Also, it would be cool if thay did the ones that didn\'t show up in the movie too like Slog and Snarl (hopefully with better wrists). Most importantly, Hasbro needs to release Dark of the Moon Soundwave, Q, and a more movie acurate Shockwave since they jipped US fans by cancelling the movies toyline half way through because noone wanted to buy 30 different versions of the same Bumblebee mold.
Digger
Yeah but they at least have some semblance of purpose or meaning. The KSI sentries were in the film, shadow raider has the spark extractor and is meant to be one of the guys on lockdown’s ship, and bumblebee makes all the money the dirty hoe can. Damn I still need to get KSI Sentry more so because I can show it to my friends and they’ll get confused.

^ Shadow Raider, KSI Sentry, and every single SS01 & 18 repaint in a nutshell
But to be fair their paint look cooler than their originals. Shadow Raider is pretty much “Lockdown extension kit with bonus orange Lambo” and KSI Sentry looks sexy, period.
Digger
I dunno. That’d be kinda weird and pointless.
Lazerwave
Just a thought (I'm hoping it's not true). But what if the new listed Dropkick was just a repaint of the Helicopter one?

And for the love of Primus fix his feet.

I think for the Studio Series Fallen their probably going to take the Hunt for the Decepticons Voyager Fallen and upscale him to be a Leader Class sized figure and give him a new staff and paint him into his movie accurate colors because the Hunt for the Decepticons version has that removable face gimmick that I really like and they should give him that!
NGW
Meh, they never really bothered me. Granted, I'd rather him have just had normal feet without the gimmick, but he still looks imposing on the shelf and has a really sick design (even if his color isn't accurate). As for the alt mode, it's a giant flying Decepticon insignia, I can't hate it that much.
LegoLover58
[sigh] Me too, kid.

I could honestly care less if we don't see a Fallen figure in the Studio Series. There's so many other characters we're lacking that I feel take a higher priority (still waiting on a Deluxe DOTM Soundwave reveal).
ObakaChanTachi
As someone who’s kinda lazy with posing Fallen’s dumb legs don’t bother me a lot. A better articulated figure could help but since his character was damn useless I won’t care, each to their own I guess
Digger
Right that makes sense.
