In-Hand Images: Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron Voyagers Grimlock and Blaster with Steeljaw

HE'S HUUUUUGE!

And not just compared to Deluxe Optimus, but he's roughly the same height as the Voyager Soundwave mold, which itself is a VERY big Voyager.

That is the ugliest abomination for a Grimlock altmode I'll ever see.

FoC Grimlock is a better Classics Grimlock than Classics Grimlock.

I never noticed it until now: Blaster's head sculpt incorporated both the toy/comic head design and the cartoon one. Well played.

I just nerded all over the place. Grimlock looks AMAZING! I'm sure he'll probably be a little hollow, but he's HUGE. AND Hasbro CAN do an LED gimmick right, gasp! Blaster looks great too, but I'm planning on picking up Soundwave.

Did I mention that I'm REALLY excited for Grimlock now?

im afraid of what grimlock is going to cost now, hes twice the size of a deluxe & has lights. Id be very surprised if he stays $20. But the first thing is finding him, there still hasnt been any FoC figures in any of the stores here. Been keeping my eye out for Soundwave and there arent even spots for them.

Are there any pictures of the back kibble for Grimlock?
That's going to be my deal-breaker.

I think the only back kibble he has is gonna be his upper T-Rex body half folded down and set on his back. In the game, he didn't have any of those big shell-like wings the G1 figure had.

It looks like the section with the neck (gold part) and head will collapse into the section with the beast arms, which will then collapse behind the robot head. The beast head obviously ends up -inside- the chest in order to achieve the LED gimmick in robot mode. You can see a pinned hinge in the first picture of his beast mode and in the fourth picture of the robot mode (with the shield front and sword raised) you can see the gold part of the neck collapsed into that silver section where I assume the beast arms are. In proper Grimlock fashion, his legs are his tail and his his arms are his beast legs.

I do have to say, I kind of miss the beast kibble wings, they were a nice touch, but I won't lose sleep over it. They certainly did an awesome job with this guy, I love how his hand can hinge down into his arm!

So in the game does Grimlock have a pistol/cannon?

Here's Grimlock from the back.

Sword and Shield only

First of All, finally having a Grimlock that looks like he could stomp Prime.....AWESOME. Second, yea he has back kibble, so so does the original and even the Masterpiece, to me its a bit of G1 Homage....Unlike Voyager Soundwave and Blaster who are gonna have Huge poles coming out their back if the Cassettes are in their chests.

So Little to say, $30 is staying in my pocket 24/7 until I find this beast and make him MINE!!!

Forgot about that one, thanks!
I'll wait for a review or two, but I'm losing my 'squeee' for this figure.

Smart and simple way they dealt with the light bar on Red Alert.

Hasbro doesn't do multiple price points within a class, if it's Voyager class it will be Voyager class pricing. All the Prime Voyagers have lights and they haven't been any more expensive than standard Voyagers, at least in Canada. I know in the US TF prices have been creeping up in general but the point is Grimlock won't be any more expensive than any other current Voyager.

Grimlock looks totally badass. Finally a light-up gimmick done right and a great aesthetic. The gappy dino mode isn't perfect but it's still pretty decent.

Blaster isn't quite as nice as the Takara version but still nice enough. And Steeljaw got a remold! Sweet!

Finally we're getting some awesome FoC figures. I have no idea why Hasbro decided to release the crappy ones first. Wave 3 Deluxes and the Voyagers look so much better than the first 2 waves of Deluxes.

Grimlock looks less interesting...but not enough to make me change my mind about buying him.

Was never interested in Blaster...or the Voyager Soundwave mold period.

- Fat tail
- Nonexistant dino-belly
- Dull robot mode
- Hands and thighs are 'supposed' to be black, while the hips are 'supposed' to be red

+ Light-up gimmick
+ Apparent size
+ Lightning Strike Whatever Insignia
+ It's Grimlock

Eh, I think I'll wait for a G2 repaint.

I'm wondering if the shield clips in where the open stomach area is on Grimmy?

He looks a little dull colored with no bright paint apps, but I have a feeling re-prolables could do something really sweet for him....

I'm very excited for this figure...please, please let there be more FOC dinos in the future!!!

I don't know if it's how Hasbro prices them or just retailer choice, but if you go into any retail store, you'll see DOTM, Prime, and FoC Deluxes at two or three different price points.

That's retailers for the most part, especially right now, being close to Christmas and all.

Let's add "within the same line" to the original quote, and call the whole thing off.

Really though, between lines, the set prices of Size Classes can vary a dollar or two, but within the same line, there's no such thing. The one exception would have to be Prime Bumblebee, who shelfwarmed or was overstocked so badly, that Toys 'R Us of all places put $5 stickers on the packaging.

i need that grimlock. I NEED IT. and i might get blaster too.

OMG that Steeljaw sucks so bad i can barely stand it!

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought we were talking about whether or not the FoC Voyagers might be at a different price point than Prime Voyagers, which I think is possible. But if you're talking about FoC Blaster vs FoC Grimlock, then I agree that it's unlikely they would have different price points.

That would be great. I hope so.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I guess I should know I need to be very specific with my wording.

The guy I was responding to made it sound like he's concerned Grimlock will be more expensive than his wavemates or other FoC Voyagers because of the size and light-up features, so I was responding to that.

I have to agree on the plus points. Especially the LSC symbol.
As I said, I'll wait for more pictures or a video.


It would be nice for the weapons to tuck in somewhere, given all the hollowness of the mold.
Doesn't looki like it will happen, though.


EDIT: Looked at it again.
He doesn't have ball jointed hips!
But, on he downside, the transformation looks waaaaay too easy.

I'm willing to be, with how obsessed Hsbro has been about weapons storage, the sword and shield both clip on underneath.

blaster is fine but grimlock.
SHESH,
his chest is a bit too big while his sword and shield are too small(i'll give ya that my complaints on the weapons are rather nitpick-ish), but his dino mode just kills it.
the tail looks REALLY wierd, the whole thing looks more like the small dinosaur given as an accessory for Xboxlive or a chibi and his crotch in dino mode is hallow(and its really noticable is u were to try to make him stand as erect as he does in the game).

It's about time we get a good Classics Grimlock. He shall be mine.

Grimlock looks awesome

I really don't care about the voyager soundwave mold.
I wish there was a deluxe soundwave to be in scale with optimus.

Is there any news on a megatron?

There is a deluxe Soundwave and Megatron. They came out with the original War for Cybertron figures

Breaking news! There were Deluxe Soundwaves and Megatrons in the original WFC line back in 2010!



And considering you didn't know about them, I'm assuming didn't know about these fellas either:

Grimlock will be mine

Now those are good figures. Especially Megatron.

Dammit! Between that and the fact that he looks pretty awesome even without any stickers applied I'm having a real hard time not pre-ordering him now.

I think this is appropriate

Well, I'm getting Grimlock. As if that was ever up for debate...

Yep, definatly getting Grimlock. Now I'm wondering if Takara is gonna give him game-accurate colors since Hasbro is having trouble handling that with the FoC line.

But Grimlock is lacking some red! He's too yellow/gold to me. It looks as though I'm gonna have to take up a repainting lesson just to give Grimlock that red waist he needs and some blacker theighs and hands.

Well IMO Grimlock is not bad looking. I'd guess those that are disapointed with the current representation of this Dinobot would rather have a animated version or a classics version over this...?

It could have been much worse though I can't imagine how. Someone did mention a G2 homage would look alright I think. But as usual I'm curious what Takara's will look like and if it will out-shine Hasbro's.

I just cant believe people want a voyager Grimlock so badly they are blind by the ugliness of this figure. The robot mode looks like animated Grimlock with a classics style head. And the dino mode looks deformed, kind of like a retard Barney with a skinny body, fat head and fat tail. I know some people are going to disagree with me, but this figure is not that cool. Blaster on the other hand is really awesome. Maybe a 3rd party add on kit can save Grimlock by giving his dino mode.

Me Grimlock awesome!.

He's Game accurate, and he's a Voyager. What more do you want?

He's bound to share similarities with animated Grimlock since they are both based on the same character will have certain identifying features that are the same or very similar. He looks awesome and bad-ass as he should.

Totally a buy.



And for the record I really like animated Grimlock. He was one of the better molds in that line.
So the fact he looks like him is a good thing.

We're aware of it's flaws; we're not stupid.

Because his toy's robot mode looks nothing like the game. Nothing. At all. Nope. Totally different.

with a skinny body, fat head and fat tail.

No argument about the tail, but what's wrong with his head?

His chest/dinosaur head glows.



Man, he just towers over FOC Optimus!

With that said, can't wait for Grimlock and Blaster to hit shelves. Fantastic additions to my classics shelf!

If anything, FoC Grimlock is by and FAR the best Classics Grimlock we've gotten so far. It SHAMES the actual Classics mold by ACTUALLY looking like Grimlock should (obviously MP Grimlock is in a class of his own, being amazing in all respects). Truly, aside from the tail, I fail to understand how people are having issues with this beyond those who have to bitch for bitching's sake.

But come on people, it's a transforming toy, you have to make a concession somewhere! Would you rather have FoC Grimlock have stupidly skinny legs? Aside from the tail (and the gaping hole in the chest, but you'll never notice that while he's posed on your shelf and you know it), the beast mode is spot on, and the robot mode is literally perfect. Maybe it could use a little panel lining here and there, but there are a ton of really nice paint apps already! His torso is spot-on and that LED gimmick is glorious!

This. This so much.

If there is truly a problem to me, it's because it looks top heavy with no heels. And we all know what happened with the first MP Starscream...

That's because FoC is a cheaper, smaller, crappier set of figures. Very few of them are actually worth it. If you want a Deluxe Soundwave or Megatron, WFC is your only option. If you have a probelm with FoC Optimus' scale, get the WFC Optimus.

P.S: You triple-posted.
