Sorry, I didn't know it was a stolen product, I thought it was an official release. Do you want me to remove it? --Grievous Prime (talk) 05:51, 25 June 2021 (EDT)

No it's alright. We don't really have anything else to use at the moment other than poor quality box render images, so it works for now. Most who have been in the collecting game and actively watching YouTube reviewers for years know that PrimeVSPrime's figures are generally bought on eBay from someone who stole products or factory rejects from Hasbro. YouTubers like Peaugh and Optibotimus used to do the same way back, that's how Peaugh, for instance, got a hold of a Hasbro version of Animated Blackout and a Voyager Thundercracker long before they were supposed to be released (which both ended up getting cancelled anyway, with only Blackout getting a Takara release). It used to be a huge race for these YouTubers back in the day to get the first review out, and it seems this trend has come back around.

As for Grindor, the only official release was (at the time I'm posting this message—in my timezone at least) yesterday in Australia, so all the early images and reviews that had been posted, are likely to be of stolen products. The main problem with using images of stolen products, is that a last minute change could've been made just after these products were stolen, leaving us with an "early draft", so to speak.

Ok, thank you. I'm a Transformers fan since I was a kid and I have been following your site (TFWiki) for years but I watched few reviews of youtubers; consequently I'm not very familiar with how the things you said work. Forgive me 😅. --Grievous Prime (talk) 11:03, 25 June 2021 (EDT)
