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 orfuture versions of the mold; the mold itself is also inexplicably one "segment" shorter, resulting in a 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 Walmart 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.
