  • Pieces: 30
  • Accessories: Rack, Blade-weapon, Large Axe, Sword, 2 horn pieces, claw weapon, extra body parts

Part of the 3rd wave of the Custom Kreon Age of Extinction Collection, this Custom Kreon Grimlock is based on his Age of Extinction counterpart. making heavy use of the new parts created for Kre-O Dungeons & Dragons, what with the "knight" theme. He features a "bat'leth" blade-weapon from the Kre-O Star Trek line, a large chromed axe, a claw weapon, and a red sword, as a nod to his other Kreon from the Grimlock Unleashed set. He also come with extra-clear body parts. Unlike most toys of the Kre-O Age of Extinction Dinobots (including his large Dino Build in Grimlock Unleashed), Grimlock is colored in screen-accurate silver.

Like the rest of his wave-mates, he saw very limited release, mostly in Hasbro Asia regions.

• Grimlock (Custom Kreon, 2015)
  • Set number: B1235
  • Pieces: 23
  • Accessories: Sword, Axe, Transparent parts (Helmet, Arms, Body & legs), Rack

Part of the new wave of Custom Kreons, this Grimlock Kreon is based on his appearance in the 2015 Robots in Disguise series. He comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his extra pieces. Unlike the previous Custom Kreons, he no longer features a chromed helmet, and comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso, legs, and his arms, plus a two-sided Axe, and a chromed sword. This set marks the first single release of the Robots in Disguise Grimlock character in Kre-O outside of a (and before having his own) building set.

Despite what the instructions said, the body piece cannot be pegged down between the leg parts installed on the display stand. However this can be amended by putting a 2x1 brick piece.

Quality control of this Custom Kreon can be a biiit random: Several, of not: Most units doesn't have perfectly aligned eyes and mouth tampographs. Good luck finding a perfect one.

Notes

• Like all non-toy robot Kreons in these comics, Grimlock is made from existing Kre-O parts. He uses Soundwave's helmet in black, seemingly with the "door-wing" backpack piece to replicate the original Grimlock's wings.
