'''Grimlock''' is an Autobot who transforms into an organic ''Velociraptor''. It is presumed that simply by virtue of ''being'' a dinosaur named Grimlock, he leads the other [[Dinobot (Dinobots)|Dinobots]].

: Grimlock is a [[redeco]] of the original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] toy, transforming into a ''Velociraptor'' (or vague simulation of one, at least). His tail splits open to reveal a removable "tail bone" sword, while the rest of the tail becomes a rotating blade weapon that spins when its long plunger is pushed in. This weapon can also be stored on his back like wings, as seen in his [[package art|card art]] above. As he uses a first-year ''Beast Wars'' Deluxe mold, he has a "[[mutant head]]" that covers his robot-mode head like a clamshell, giving him a bony skull-head appearance.

: The "tail bone" sword blade was re-cast in much softer, more pliable plastics than previous ''or'' future versions of the mold; the mold itself is also inexplicably one "segment" shorter, resulting in a blade which isn't long enough to reach its tip outside of the closed blade weapon and form the end of the tail.

: Grimlock was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] stores, sold only in a two-pack with [[Terranotron (Dinobots)|Terranotron/Swoop]].

: The same mold is used by [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|''Beast Wars'' Grimlock]], and was [[retool]]ed to make [[Thrust (BWII)#Thrustor|Thrustor]], [[Hardhead (BWN)#Toys|Hardhead]] and [[Dinotron#Toys|Dinotron]].

==Notes==
* The Dinobots' card-art, including Grimlock's, was created by [[Marcelo Matere]].
* Grimlock and the other Dinobots had no "dimension" classification until an entry of the 2015 Facebook blog [[Ask Vector Prime]] assigned the 2003 Dinobots as [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|''Robots in Disguise'' (2001)]] characters.
