Fall of Cybertron Grimlock

Grimlock was NEVER an interesting character for me, not because I didn't grow up in the 80s but because he was such a powerful character with no brain. A giant shame to a character that could be so much more with a bit more intelligence.

However Fall of Cybertron game corrected that and made me like his new character. They made him just your average 100 IQ guy. He was a brute with strength and brains. Just perfect! & to make it better, he was given a toy form for collectors and kids. (Yeah that's where I'm going)

One of the biggest flaws or you could say one of the few nit picks about this guy is how he looks in his T-Rex mode in toy form. Another is his "Hollowness" which the Transformers Fandom Boys have been complaining so much about. To be honest: GET OVER IT! You're buying toys that turn in to Cybertronian  Vehicles, Jets and Beasts. They cannot be perfect in their Transport/Alternate forms. So as long as the Robot Mode is done right. You should be happy.

As for the Hollow parts, EXCUSE ME! who the F(_)@K looks UNDER the damn T-Rex to see their loins????? Get over that too!

Now let's begin with the photos:

No hollowness here..........the Robot Mode is very SOLID.

Cool huh? Shield can switch from Shoulder to Elbow.

On the right, I figured out a way to have a sort of Gauntlet Sword configuration.

More to come soon =P

So I got this guy for one reason, that was his shoulders. See the Hasbro version doesn't have the extra ports/canons on the shoulders & he's quite plain. Let's show you the Hasbro version first:

 Nothing on the shoulders right? But what's the positive here? The positive is that the Hasbro version's details are actually painted very nicely and this is where the Takara version loses its touch, all the details on the Takara version are just stickers, so how do we avoid that? Well we simply switch the shoulders on the Hasbro one and voila!

 Pretty Cool with the shoulder bulk of the Takara version.

OK so I did apply the Decepticon symbols on both elbows but only because they look awesome =P

All I did was take the shoulders from the Takara one and plant them on the Hasbro one and there's the all in one package.

Here's how the Takara one looks now with Hasbro version's shoulders. Stickers and well stickers of detail =[
