I think Hydra left e-Hobby last summer shortly after BotCon.

Really? Really? After all the flack you gave people over those minicons? Really?
The only thing I don't care for is the green on his chest.

The Grimlock is a pass for me. Not much more than a red Grimlock to me. If you are into repaints then it would be pretty cool. I am sometimes, but not for the price these will command.

Unless you mean he's not with Takara at all anymore, which I wouldn't know either way.
He did write the Japanese Generations bios, though, which is why I assumed this toy's bio would be written by him. If not, then I still look forward to seeing the bio even if someone else wrote it.

A few subtle differences. Like, the Takara one has a metallic paint finish, richer paint colors, logos on the jet mode fin, black knees instead of gray, different paint apps on the guns, etc.shockblast2 wrote:I don't see much difference between this FOC Thundercracker and the one we got in the Generations line. The paint job is a little better with the silver on the guns. Other than that, what is different?

I'd get the Grimmy for my kid, he likes red Grimlocks, but again, that isn't an import buy.

And they should be out in March.

He is a dual-homage to both Dinobot Magma-Type from Transformers: Super Link (Japanese Energon) in Dino mode and Activators Fireblast Grimlock from Transformers Animated in Robot Mode (and name).bruticus1978 wrote:So he's a reference to an Animated Grimlock?

Lol
But couldn't you have chosen a Prime that's better looking in alt-mode than helicopter chest Prime?

Probably because the colours match this Thundercracker more.
