'''Grimwing''' is ''not'' like other Predacons. Despite being powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]], his inherent sense of honor and chivalry separate him from the other vicious, ambitious members of his kind. He finds it disgraceful that his brothers and sisters use their abilities to dominate the weak, and he will go to any length to stop his fellows from conquering the world. He is also resist to all kinds of poisons.

Accompanying him on this quest is [[Blackbeak]], an odd, rageful, and impatient creature who was somehow generated in the same experiment that birthed Grimwing himself. [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] knows better than to trust either of them, for if there were any Predacons that might find a more natural home among the [[Autobot]]s, this powerful pair would be the ones.

==Fiction==
===''Tales of the Beast Hunters''===
As Grimwing and Blackbeak made their escape from Shockwave's abandoned cloning facility, they sighted [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|a mysterious robot]] far below them. Despite Blackbeak's entreaties, Grimwing chose to approach the figure in search of information... {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 15}}

...only to be greeted by Ultra Magnus taking the offensive himself, swatting the Predacons out of the sky with the [[Forge of Solus Prime]]. The results were, for Magnus, unsatisfactory on many levels, as Grimwing and Blackbeak made short work of the Autobot, decrying all modern Cybertronians as savages and setting out to defeat the remaining Predacons on their own. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 16}}

==Games==
==="Hunt the Beasts" online game===
Grimwing was one of several Predacons who broke free of [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave's]] lab, causing the [[Decepticon]] scientist to flee. He tried unsuccessfully to break down the door to the room [[you]] were in. Information on him could be found via the lab's numerous data terminals. {{storylink|Hunt the Beasts}}

**''Series/Number'': '''2 / 004'''
** ''Accessories:'' Blackbeak Grapple Launcher, 2 shoulder weapons

: Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime:]] [[Beast Hunters]]'' Voyager Class toys, Grimwing transforms into a dark gray and green [[ursagryph]] covered with an assortment of [[Cyberglyphics]]. He comes with the "Blackbeak Grapple Launcher", a strange birdlike creature who can fire the claw [[missile]] in his mouth via pressure-launch, with the missile being tied to the launcher with a length of string. Both Blackbeak and his missile can mount/be held by Grimwing via [[5mm post]], with Grimwing featuring ports on his hands, forearms, and back.

:As an undocumented feature, the U-shaped parts on his shoulders are separate pieces that can be pulled out to be used as weapons held via their 5mm handles.

:His [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts his legs as not having been properly extended for robot mode. His [[instructions]] include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 15|fifteenth chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series. This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising]]'' [[Darksteel (Prime)|Darksteel]] and [[retool]]ed into ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' [[Budora]].
