Background
Just out of curiosity, do any of the toy bios give an explanation on what Grindor's story is? -- SFH 12:27, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
- No, it is just his personality. - Starfield 12:33, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
Accuracy edit.
It has been confirmed that Blackout is dead, so I am deleting the part that says he might be Blackout.Homey 21:29, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
- Where was that confirmed? There's all kinds of back-and-forth on whether it was Grindor or Blackout. Here's Liam Shalloo claiming Roberto Orci has said it was supposed to be Blackout: http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=59821&view=findpost&p=1259230 ...I don't doubt the info, I just think we need to get some links to first-hand info that confirms one way or another, because I'm seeing a lot of arguing and people quoting credible sources without actually sourcing them.

- Grindor is the only one who is getting mainline toys, though. --FFN 10:29, 27 June 2009 (EDT)
- And Barricade is a definite example that if Hasbro considered him alive, they would have reused him.--RosicrucianTalk 10:43, 27 June 2009 (EDT)
- Yeah but what does the movie identify him as? Unless the end credits say something, I'm pretty sure he wasn't named at all. People not following the toyline would be forgiven for assuming it's Blackout. This comes under whether the movie is a seperate entity or considered connected to all the other materials. The Grinder toy is clearly Hasbro making some sense out of the movie (and scoring a new toy to boot) but the movie on its own doesn't explain who this is. Narrative convention (and I know that's kinda a bullshit term, but you know what I mean) makes it Blackout. Up to now, he's the only guy we've ever seen before that looks like that. No one else was introduced as a sepearte character.Riddlerj 14:53, 27 June 2009 (EDT)
- Don't forget that Grindor is a major playable character in the video games. --ItsWalky 14:52, 27 June 2009 (EDT)
- When Dreamworks says Grindor's a misinformation name, i'm inclined to believe them.--86.87.28.191 17:03, 27 June 2009 (EDT)
- When and where did "Dreamworks" say this? --KilMichaelMcC 17:05, 27 June 2009 (EDT)
- Hey, when an anonymous dude says anything with no source, I'm inclinced to believe them! It's a failing of mine. --67.149.197.71 17:18, 27 June 2009 (EDT)
