Toys

  • 1-Step Optimus Prime & Flip N' Change Grimlock [14]
Animation: The Transfomers logo turns into an Autobot logo.
Narration: Unknown.
Toy segment: A large blue semi truck with red flames zooms past a boy standing outside of Dinosaur Dig Park. The kid gasps "Optimus Prime?" then takes off after the semi truck. He sees the truck come to a stop on the other side of what appears to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton dig. Rather than continue his pursuit, the boy decides to stop at some tents to transform Flip & Change Grimlock. As he's doing this, the skeleton "comes to life" revealing that it is in fact Grimlock himself. The boy stares in amazement as Grimlock rears back and roars. This prompts Optimus Prime to transform, mount Grimlock, and yell "Roll out!". The boy is so grateful, he transforms 1-Step Optimus too. Grimlock then roars in the boy's face.
Notes: Optimus's "Roll out!" is voiced by his normal voice actor Peter Cullen. Given the size of Grimlock in relation to the boy when they are face to face, and the size of Prime in relation to Grimlock, Prime ends up hilariously appearing to be roughly the size of a very tall adult human.
It's faster than ever to flip and change...and reveal Robots in Disguise.
