What G1 toy did you have ?View attachment 28896813
Maybe you had a KO. I never saw a black chested Grimlock as a kid. I only saw ones like these. And yes I know it exists but its still ugly AF. It also kills the theory that "studio series 86" and regular studio series are the same line because of theater movies. They just flushed "movie" accuracy down the toilet. The "86" moniker is just a subline. Most likely too much to include in WFC trilogy.

Freaks the fuck out over toy-accurate chest. Screams bloody murder over lack of toy-only sword.
Haha. Consistency.

And then, it's only a few more changes to make Transmetal Megatron. 3 for the price of 1.
SPLIT LIP
I like the way you think.
Give him his Megastorm head in robot mode. That'd be a cool homage.
primalxconvoy
That could work.

It's good to see ol' Grimlock return to his roots, however, I feel that MP Grimlock would blend with this collection seamlessly, especially considering it's too small for the current G1 MP line.

\"Why do Kup and Blurr have black eyes? It\\\'s really off-putting. While the face sculpts aren\\\'t great, they\\\'d look a lot better with blue eyes, like Hot Rod.\"
@galien they have blue light piping, the eyes are just not back lit in the photo.
Suboptimal Optimus
Anyone else want to see Takara retool that Grimlock into a new form of Gigastorm, this time with a robot mode?

The more I look at SS86 Blurr, the happier I am with my Takara Legends Blurr.
primalxconvoy
Just report and block them. I have the feeling most people already have at least done the latter?
Anyway, unfortunately the main news page still shows troll-posts, so I made this before I realised who it was that wrote it and that they were already blocked. Regardless, it shows that this new version of Grimmy combines the chest designs of both the toy and cartoon:

That black s**t on Grimlocks robot chest sucks so bad it make me want to puke. That s**t wasnt on the prototypes. Hopefully it can pop off and DNA does a replacement along with his sword. Somebody fire the guy who decided to change it to black at the last minute and go against cartoon and toy accuracy for his own amusement. Seriously, fire that guy.

Yeah! Thrilling 30's is definitely still the best because she is an actual Transformer! And not a:
Folding Action Figure…Stuffing…Cramming… Body Parts…. Underneath A Parts Forming.. …Shellformation!!!!!
We just need a totally NEW (Actually Transforming) SS86 Arcee (and has proper looking feet) done RIGHT!!!
Chris Bot
MP Arcee's robo tiddy plate is too saggy, it really kills the whole look. Earthrise Arcee is better proportioned, but she's also a shellforming partsformrer, or a partsforming shellformer. The Thrilling 30 fig is still the best official one I think, even if it's more IDW inspired.

Why do Kup and Blurr have black eyes? It\'s really off-putting. While the face sculpts aren\'t great, they\'d look a lot better with blue eyes, like Hot Rod.

Nice pics as always. The high definition images I come to expect now after all these years coming here.
Ahh but a completely different transformation and considering these are made to be accurate to the letter too. But at same time what about mp51 Arcee? That's pretty dead on don't you think? Granted it's not at Walmart but all the same it is accurate.

The more I look at Blurr, the more I hope to get a non-Headmaster Nautica out of the mold.
Pessimus Terminal
I\'m dying to see this Grimlock next to the OS KO PotP Grimlock. He\'s already pre-ordered but I don\'t have the patience.
