Me Grimlock no Yoshi! Me Grimlock KING!

Grimlock is a Dinobot with a rather rough n' tough attitude. One of the most powerful warriors alive, his general approach to a problem is to smash it first, worry about the specifics later. This attitudes extends to his Autobot companions, who are expected to meet Grimlock's standard of strength. That said, the Autobots have a lot less to fear from this behemoth than the Decepticons.

Fiction

How to Ride your Dinobot cartoon

Grimlock found himself being the guinea pig for Optimus' Dinobot-riding lessons. To his irritation, Optimus rudely beckoned him to move forward, and was thus thrown into a barn. Optimus' mood did not improve much, but Grimlock's did, as it was now time for him to ride Optimus. The Autobot leader proved a much more compliant steed, to Grimlock's joy.

  • Japanese ID number: AD03
  • Japanese release date: 5-17-14
  • Accessories: Two-piece spiked maul

Part of the first wave of Age of Extinction: Generations Voyager Class toys, Grimlock transforms into a silver and bronze Tyrannosaurus with articulated horns, and a button-activated, spring-loaded chomping jaw. He comes with a spiked maul that he can sorta wield via the smaller 5mm handle at the top of its haft. The maul's head and handle are two separate pieces, and the weapon can slide onto to his tail to store in dino mode... as a really long tail extension. Yeah...

The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of Lost Age: Movie Advanced toys, lacks the silver paint on his dinosaur head, features additional paint on his robot face and legs, and has red dinosaur eyes.

  • Accessories: "Dragontooth Mace", shield

Part of the first wave of Age of Extinction: Generations Leader Class toys, this version of Grimlock transforms into an oddly-elongated, chromed out, black-and-bronze Tyrannosaurus with an articulated jaw, and tiny vestigial arms. A large section of his dino mode rear detaches and splits into two accessories: a spiked mace-like weapon formed out of his rather short, pointy tail, which he can wield normally via 5mm post, as well as a spiky, sawbladed shield formed from the dino mode's hip armor, which can slot onto the dino feet on his forearms.

He features chrome on several pegs, tabs, slots, and holes, all of which have a nasty tendency to flake.

The TakaraTomy version is dubbed Black Knight Grimlock, and features a screen-accurate deco.
