The name or term "Grimlock" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Grimlock (disambiguation).
Grimlock is an Autobot from an unidentified continuity.
He's either drunk or a clown. Or both.

Grimlock is an Autobot fighter who transforms into an organic velociraptor. His relationship to any other Grimlock is unknown. It is presumed that simply by virtue of being a dinosaur named Grimlock, he leads the other Dinobots, but there is no official material to support or refute this.

Seriously, they used this mold to make anyone.
Grimlock is a redeco of the original Beast Wars Dinobot toy, transforming into a velociraptor (or vague simulation of one, at least). Strangely, the "tail bone" sword blade hidden within the beast mode tail was re-cast in much softer, more pliable plastics than previous OR future versions of the mold; this change resulted in a slightly shorter blade which wasn't long enough to reach its tip outside of the closed blade weapon and form the end of the tail. Grimlock was exclusive to Wal-Mart stores, sold only in a two-pack with Terranotron.
The same mold is used by Beast Wars Grimlock, and was retooled to make Thrustor, Hardhead and Dinotron.
