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 the brick-built world of Kre-O.

Grimlock no bozo, him bricks!


Fiction

Kre-O online comic

Grimlock had himself a hearty laugh when Megatron attempted to replicate Optimus Prime's new clear-torso'd power-up via a see-through negligee. Wheeljack's Bizarre Invention! Optimus Power Up!?

Toys

Kre-O

The Grimlock Street Attack set includes a buildable Dinobot beast Grimlock.


Available only in the "Grimlock Unleashed" set, both the buildable Grimlock and the Grimlock Kreon are based on the Generation One looks of the character, despite the other Kreons on the set being based on their Age of Exctinction versions. The Kreon comes with his Energo-Sword and two optional helmets, a Sideswipe-style one and a crown based on the time Grimlock led the Autobots. Unlike other Kreons, Grimlock has his faceplate painted on the figure face instead of added by the helmet.
This set popped up at ToysЯUs a few short weeks after the initial product without any advance warning... and retailed for a mere $25, despite the size of the set.

This mini-build of dino-mode Grimlock comes with a micro-Kreon version of Optimus Prime as part of a small bagged kit.
This set was only available on June 28 as part of a special promotion at ToysЯUs, given away free from noon to 2pm (roughly) as part of an in-store building event that coincided with the opening weekend of Age of Extinction and the final day of a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale on all Transformers product.

This item is currently scheduled for release, but is not yet available at mass retail.


Notes

  • Like all non-toy robot Kreons in these comics, Grimlock is made from existing Kre-O parts. He uses Soundwave's helmet in black, seemingly with the "door-wing" backpack piece to replicate the original Grimlock's wings.
