:''The Warp Cannon is a weapon from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

'''Warp Cannons''' are massive [[Cybertronian]] weapon emplacements that are used on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

==Games==
===''Fall of Cybertron''===
During the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], the [[Decepticon]]s under the command of [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] attempted to destroy the [[Autobot]]s in the period when the planet had begun to suffer from [[Energon]] shortages. As a result, the Autobots led by [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] attempted to flee the dying world onboard the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' which saw the Decepticons stage an all-out offensive against them. In this time, three powerful Warp Cannons were deployed to destroy the Autobot vessel and its defenders. Whilst attempting to defend the starship, Optimus Prime awakened [[Metroplex (FOC)|Metroplex]] who was sent to destroy the Decepticon weapon emplacements. With Metroplex's aid, the first two Warp Cannons were individually destroyed with ease but the third weapon managed to heavily damage Metroplex after it targeted him. Despite being badly damaged, Metroplex managed to survive and destroyed the last Warp Cannon thus ending the immediate Decepticon threat to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron}}

:''Grimlock is an evil [[Autobot]] [[Dinobot (SG)|Dinobot]] from the "[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]" [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:Grimlock tl.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Grimlock's New Brain|I, Grimlock]], say you are DOOMED.]]
'''Grimlock''' was born in a [[Decepticon]] lab as a warrior who would run on artificial intelligence instead of an [[Spark|ember]], but [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]] ordered his deactivation after his violent tendencies emerged and overrode his logic subroutines. He was put into storage with every intention of never using him again. However, when [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]] heard of his creation, he stole and reactivated Grimlock. Given the chance to engage in the violence for which he yearned so much, Grimlock eagerly became Prime's most powerful warrior, not stopping for anything except deactivation, having not a single shred of mercy or self control. "I wish I had a thousand more like him!" said Optimus Prime on multiple occasions. Thank [[Primus]] he doesn't.

Following an encounter with the [[Omega Terminus]], Grimlock was granted an ember, a true cybernetic personality, and the ability to transform into a robot mode. In this new form, he is gifted with remarkable intelligence, a wicked scheming streak, and a delightfully wry sense of humor, wot? However, the mindless violence that once governed his thought processes has not been entirely excised; should robot-mode Grimlock lose his temper, he will involuntarily transform back into his dinosaur form, and his mind will be overwhelmed with the uncontrollable ferocity for which he is so well known.

{{quote|Oh, yes, it is I, Grimlock... and so much more now. To be specific, that would be 'so much more than you, now'. It does appear that there are certain linguistic idiosyncrasies that I, Grimlock, am still stuck with, however. But mustn't complain too much, wot?|Even when Grimlock's smart, some things don't change|"[[Dungeons & Dinobots]]"}}

==Fiction==
===Shattered Expectations===
Grimlock proved himself to be the smartest (and most humble) of the Autobots raiding the secret [[Pretender]] lab. Insulted by [[Goldbug (SG)|Goldbug]] relegating him to the position of mere attack dog, he nonetheless fell for a [[Predacon (SG)|Predacon]] ruse and was ambushed by the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]]. {{storylink|Shattered Expectations}}

===Shattered Glass===
[[Image:Sgpredaconsvsgrimlock.jpg|left|300px|thumb|I need not express my intellect. Me speak dumb for now.]]
Grimlock was with the [[Autobot]]s when the Decepticons attacked the ''[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s launching platform. Optimus sicced him on the Decepticons, and he very quickly ended up in a tussle with the Predacons. {{storylink|Shattered Glass}}

When the deranged Autobot scientist [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]] succeeded in modifying and duplicating Grimlock's artificial intelligence matrix, he was able to give life to an entire herd of [[Dinobot (SG)|Dinobot]]s. With Grimlock at the head of the pack, Wheeljack unleashed his creations into the middle of a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, only for the mindless monsters to wind up fighting amongst themselves. As the out-of-control Dinobots proceeded to run wild across [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Grimlock began to hear a mysterious disembodied voice that gave him directions to follow, and he obeyed it without argument, pausing on his way only long enough for a minor altercation with [[Huffer (SG)|Huffer]]. Trekking deep into the [[Rad Zone]], Grimlock ventured into a series of tunnels that led him to the chamber of the life-giving mega-computer, Omega Terminus, the owner of the voice that had lured him into its presence.
[[Image:Dungeonsanddinobots_grimlock_transformed.jpg|right|thumb|300px|No, Mr. Jumper, I expect you to die!]]
Grimlock was hidden beneath a pile of scrap at the feet of the Omega Terminus when [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]], [[Sideswipe (SG)|Sideswipe]], [[Blurr (SG)|Blurr]] and [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]] eventually succeeded in tracking him to the chamber sometime later. When Rodimus proposed an alliance between the four to take control of Omega Terminus, and Cybertron by extension, Grimlock rose from his hiding place to oppose the idea, and was promptly struck by a bolt of energy from the Terminus. Bestowed with true life by the mega-computer, Grimlock shocked all present by transforming into a robot mode he was never meant to have, and displaying remarkable intelligence. With a quartet of corpses reanimated by the Terminus's power backing him up, Grimlock engaged his opponents in battle, so enraged by Rodimus's interruption of his monologue that he inadvertently transformed back into his dinosaur mode. Although the unlikely team was able to take down their zombie opponents, Grimlock succeeded in knocking them all off the edge of the narrow dais upon which the Terminus rested, then shifted back to robot mode to gloat as they all clung to the edge of the platform. When Blurr began deliberately goading him, Grimlock assumed he was trying to make him angry and force a change back to his dinosaur mode. In actuality, Blurr was distracting Grimlock long enough for Cliffjumper to haul himself up to safety. The small Autobot shoulder-charged Grimlock, who toppled into the bottomless chasm above which the platform hung.

Blurr and Rodimus returned to the Autobot base to inform Optimus Prime of Grimlock's destruction... only to have the lie put into their words mere moments later, when a fully functional Grimlock came strolling into the Autobot base none the worse for wear. Prime was enraged to discover that his greatest weapon had become free-willed, but when Grimlock displayed his new robot mode and intelligence by quickly identifying a potential error in the fuel system of Prime's ''Ark'' blueprints, the Autobot leader was convinced to let him remain in one piece.

Some time later, Grimlock snuck into the corral the Decepticons had established to hold the Dinobots they had gathered up, promising to take all the Dinobots to the Omega Terminus... {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

When the ''Ark'' ended up launching without Optimus Prime aboard, Grimlock was one of the Autobots that Rodimus threw off the ship for being too loyal to Prime. {{storylink|Do Over}}

Afterwards, he got to happily eat Blurr, as Blurr's punishment for failing to stop Rodimus' mutiny. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 3}}

*'''Shattered Glass''' (BotCon box set, 2008)
**''Accessories'': Bayonet blaster, Tail sword/whip

: Part of [[BotCon 2008]]'s [[exclusive]] box set of five figures, Grimlock is a [[redeco]] of [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]] [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Classics|Grimlock]] with a new dark gray, turquoise, purple and orange color scheme, as an [[homage]] to [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. He transforms into a robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. His spring-loaded bayonet missile launcher can be hand-held in robot mode or mounted on his dino mode's back.

: Grimlock is only available as part of a set of six toys, along with [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (SG)|Autobot Jazz]], [[Goldbug (SG)|Goldbug]], [[Razorclaw (SG)|Razorclaw]] and [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]].

: This mold was also used as the basis for [[BotCon 2007]]'s customizing-class figure, [[Overkill (G1)|Overkill]], and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Special Edition Overkill.

==Notes==
* The "super-intelligent, well-spoken criminal genius" Grimlock was originally created for the April Fool's "Shattered Expectations" comic, as a direct inversion of Grimlock's normally dim, caveman-esque portrayal. He proved so overwhelmingly popular that the "real" Shattered Glass version of the character—nothing more than a slavering monster—later underwent a personality upgrade to become just like him.
* The erudite Shattered Glass Grimlock is now the star of the [[Fun Publications]] Official [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] website's "I, Grimlock" feature, in which a single "Shattered Glass" Grimlock toy is sent across the nation (nay, world!) for fans to take photos of in various locations. He forcibly took the role from the [[Grimlock (G1)|original Grimlock]] on [[July 23]]rd, [[2008]].
* Grimlock forcefully transforming into Beast Mode and being overcome by his tendencies if he loses his temper is most likely a reference to [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] in [[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Machines]].
* Optimus Prime's wish to "have a thousand more like Grimlock" mirrors [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron's]] wish to have a thousand more like [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]].
*Coincidentally, Grimlock's tendency to transform into Beast Mode when losing said temper, is also similar to [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock's]] ability to turn into Dino Form when his rage is full, in [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]].
