I'm perplexed ...knowing that I got an awesome deal on these Leaders from Amazon...should I cancel or just get them anyway to keep in robot mode? I guess I need to decide soon as they'll be shipping next week.
I'm in agreement with those thinking about just going Generations this year, but where in the heck are all the preorders Hasbro? I'm hoping we'll see some when the midnight AOE launch hits hasbrotoyshop.com. That's still happening right?
I'm not going to pay scalper prices/overseas shipping here and there just to continue my generations plastic crack fix.

I feel something could've been done with the forearms/dino feet, as they're going the Voyager route of 'just hangin' there'. Same with the shoulder face split, they may be moveable, but they're a bit floaty (which is the issue of the Voyager).
I do like the poseability of this thing, I have to say, but I very rarely ever went for Leader class stuff, especially in the movieverse, and this is not swaying me towards it that much.

I wonder if you can reposition the feet in any way in order to push the torso back into the robot chest so you could shorten the T-rex mode. Unless the back panels would also cause an issue, which it looks like they may.

Alt mode is a whole other beast. It's abysmal. It's poorly executed, lazy and ill proportioned. Not to mention fugly as all hell.
I'm also slightly concerned about this trend of using soft rubber/plastic on figures now. Will these pieces hold up over time or decay to malformed twisted bits of nonsense or dust in 5 years from now? I don't know and i don't like it.

Alt mode - Torso's too long and makes it look like an misshapen alligator standing on stubby legs
Purchase - no... well maybe if it goes into the bargain bin. I'll hide him in a corner where ugly robots belong.

The dino mode does look like a croc on legs, too long and flat with too much mass in front of the legs.
Voyager Grimlock wins for me even though it does still has stuff on the robot arms.

I just put the kabash on my preorder from Amazon...$41.15 shipped or not for both Grimlock and Prime. I think I made the right decision. I'm picking up Evasion Mode Prime on launch day and will take a closer look at Voyager Grimlock when I can hold him in my hands. Thanks so much for the great review...my wallet also thanks you.
