We have new in hand images of the highly anticipated Transformers Studio Series Leader Class Grimlock. This figure was first revealed earlier this year by Hasbro at Toy Fair 2018, which we reported on back in February. These images from 神回十六夜 and 模玩麦片周 on weibo definitely show him in a different light (literally) from the amazing images we previously saw from NOTRAB a while ago. We have also included those high resolution images at the bottom for you to compare how the same figure could look. Also we translated Notrab's thoughts on the figure below, which he posted on Chinese social media site Weibo along with a video review with various comparisons on Chinese video website Youku.com.
Here's the awesome Google translation of what NOTRAB wrote on Weibo regarding Studio Series Leader Class Grimlock.
Seibertron.com has translated Google's translation as "Studio Series leader-level Grimlock: transformation steps and parts count without confusion but the transformation process is very amazing. The robot mode has two complete dinosaur heads which movie Grimlock's character model had. Those heads are one of the biggest highlights in the dinosaur mode transformation process. In addition, the painting style is also very satisfying. We finally get a properly done movie style Grimlock!" If you have a better translation, just let us know what you would suggest NOTRAB meant.

I managed to get Ratchet and Bumblebee today, both are very nice figures, though I think Ratchet should have got a Voyager because the alt mode ends up teeny-tiny compared to other Deluxes, and Bumblebee's transformation is a bit fiddly and frustrating at times. I might just keep them both in robot mode, and I'm still looking forward to getting my hands on Optimus, Brawl (even though that recent stock image makes him look like a hot mess), Blackout and Grimlock.
Do we know if there'll be more waves of Deluxes past wave 2? That leak from last year showing waves 3 and 4 of the Voyagers to be Ironhide and another Starscream, and I remember hearing the leaked listing that mentioned a Deluxe Knockout turned out to be fake.

They did it with this voyager prime, who is smaller, not with the TLK voyager prime. Which technically makes no sense since Prime never rode Grimlock in this ROTF body.

apologize, somehow my brian skipped the TLK parts there. yeah nobody has tried that one, but if studio series's crotch gap fits on grimlock's back, then tlk voyager who has a bit larger crotch gap should fit as well. and while they have different size, it is not so much that the scale will look awkward. so technically, it should work.

In CANADIAN dollars, Movie deluxes are 30$, voyagers 40$, and leaders 70$. Except at TrU, the leader are 5$ more for reasons. As for generations, it's 20$ Dx, 30$ Vg, and 55$ Ld, except at TrU, once again, 5$ more for leaders.
I'm not so sure if I'll get grimlock right away at that price. I just hope that he'll be as common as the TLK voyager and come on sale soon enough.

Why would I pay 70, when I could get it for 45, like I did with leader Megatron and dragon storm? I got kids to feed. And anyways, the price for generations leader toys is $55. I did pay $70 for movie the best MB 11, but he came with a plethora of accessories and had electronics. This grimlock has none of that.

Thanks to one of the Facebook fans of Seibertron.com, we have a video review (in Mandarin) of the extremely anticipated Transformers Studio Series leader class figure Blackout - of which you can see a full set of images in this previous post here - thanks to YouTube toy reviewer Kevin Liu!
His channel includes some of the other Studio Series figures so far, such as Stinger, Bumblebee, Starscream, and Optimus Prime, and you can check it out here - but as for Blackout, just head below and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

I want to see some size comparisons how this scales with MPM Prime. Right now not sure if i want it. It looks good don't get me wrong, but the Studio series is a fail IMO. The scale Hasbro claims is correct is far from it.

You do realize the scale is to scale with the studio series, not with your “beloved “ Mpm figures. And so far they have kept the scale correct.

Great, now I have to scrounge $100 somewhere so I can pick up Grimlock AND Blackout.
Really liking how the transformation works on Blackout. Only real complaints are he looks a little small compared to the older leaders (so he'll be out of scale with stuff like RotF Leader OP) and they only included the spinning blade as a weapon (pop out guns on the arms like HftD Leader Starscream has would have been great) but overall a huge improvement over the old voyager. He'll look good in my movie Decepticon display.

Is he officially TRU's last exclusive?

Notrab has posted new images on Baidu featuring Transformers Studio Series Voyager Megatron. These shots show us how he looks from all angles and he defintiely appears to be a great rendition of the Revenge of the Fallen model. Far cleaner than the voyager and with the proper arms, the previous leader did not have. Of course, it does come with the visible head in alt mode, which is movie accurate (but not everyone's favourite design choice). We get a really good look at the feet which are made up of several splayed panels. Of course, as we can see, Megatron is not painted silver but the deco still looks similar enough to his look in the film. This toys is scheduled for a summer release and will retail for $29.99 USD in the US and $39.99 CAD in Canada (or more depending on the retailer).
Let us know what you think of this toy and the design.

That Megatron will also be a Day One purchase from me. I don't care if I have to pay the full 40$. He will definitely replace my ROTF "green burger" in my voyager Movie Megs display.
Still, I'll keep my green burger and I'll either store him or display him with my "leftover" Megs.

That is one good looking Megatron! I’m not bothered with the gray plastic, but what DOES bother me is the sides look hollow... It’s still a great Megatron toy and would gladly be one of my favorite Bayverse Megatrons besides both TLK voyager and leader figures, and the DOTM voyager

mistransformation Nooo not end of world if you plan buying him before these where posted what does it matter if he’s transformed properly or not paintings are not painted properly Picasso’s paintings worked up over toy you won’t like picasos paintings toy over work of art
Nice looking figure over original figure from first time he was released

Okay, in these new pics, the gray doesn't look so dull and bland, looking rather decent instead.

Yeah I got one. I wasn't even planning to, but then I wondered how limited their release might be and figured I better get one now rather than skip it and regret it. I like the mold, even if he still has that issue with the legs not tabbing properly (plus he's still TR compatible)
I like to keep the wings untransformed on him on robot mode, for a more seekery look and to differentiate him from Nitro.

He even comes with a backdrop.
Did you seriously get one? I am laughing at this, bad as it may be, but I'm hoping you did find one. I really want to find one, and the local TRUs don't have him

Not a fan of the little guns on his back (Did his tank mode even have those in the film? Don't remember them), but otherwise looks great. Probably still won't grab it, I have no need for ANOTHER voyager movie Megs, but if I didn't have 5 already, i'd totally grab this.

All things told, there are worse things than for Megatron to be grey. And he does look pretty good regardless.
Still, it is a shame they couldn’t spring for silver, considering the price jump and pomp and circumstance going into the Studio Series line.

All you need to do is sell 1 then buy this one in its place

He looks great! He will be a great Megatron to go alongside my other 5 voyagers, so I will have 1 of the same size class from all 5 movies and the alternate universe!!!

While we have had plenty of in-hand images and a chinese Transformation review of the upcoming Studio Series Grimlock, we have yet to see an English review of the highly anticipated figure. Well, thanks to a heads up from Kanrabat, we have a new English review, coming to you from Benscollectables on Youtube!
The new video reviews is about 13 minutes long and gives us a good in-depth look at the new figure. Now a few things to note: Benscollectables says it himself: he is not usually a Hasbro/Takara person, but the figure impressed him greatly with its looks and its paintwork, both of which have been noted to be quite impressive. Also important to note is that the Dino mode is the weaker of the 2 modes, and certain angles do show some gaps in the armor, but Benscollectables still says it is quite awesome. The transformation, as we've seen before, bears some resemblance to fellow movie Dinobot Scorn and Beast Wars Megatron, just with knight armor and shoulder mounted spiked T-Rex heads.
Check out the video below, and let us know what you think of one of the most highly anticipated Transformers figures of the year!

Grimlock is a bit smaler than I imagined from all the earlier photos comparing him to others in the line. He still ends up being average height for a leader and smaller than the previous ones from ROTF
Blackout is quite small by comparison.
