I think all the Dinobots are in scale with eachother just like real dinosaurs would be. But Michael Bay made them all bigger so the Autobots could ride them without looking ridiculous
He has horns because he is supposed to represent a dragon. That's why he can also breathe fire. Optimus prime represents a knight. That's why he has a double-edged sword and a shield and extra armor on his forearms and armor on his shoulders near his neck. Grimlock is also 150 feet because he has to be able to be rode by optimus, and he is a larger, mechanical version of a tyrannosaurus made of flesh and bone instead of metal. Like how optimus is a larger mechanical version of a human.
8:46 :D THANK YOU OPTIBOTIMUS!!!!!! I actually have the Platinum edition Grimlock vs Bruticus set now and I love it!!!!! 17:57 It's like they designed the toy to make stand there and look awesome next to the FOC figure
the AOE toys that I'm not getting is that grimlock slash and galvatron with the weird chest piece and really bad back pack the rest is nice I can work of crosshairs
well I'm gonna have to live with that and the backpack is not that bad its only the back part of the truck unlike the first one that was shit the leader is better
You seem correct on most your choices; out of the dinobots slug and strafe are the ones i'm getting because they represent the original dinobots more than slash and scorn; I also believe that the leader prime is better than the shiny chrome one; even the FOC grimlock is better than this voyager one in my opinion.
The largest discovered theropod is Giganotosaurus Carolinii which is aproximatley 6 feet from nose to the tip of it's tail which is twice as big as a T-Rex but still not as big as Grimlock.. Some major liberties were taken here.. XD
i think the term Tyrannosaurus can be a decent term for his dinosaur mode...he may be really long in his alt mode compared to scientific stats for the real measurements, according to Bay's information...but you have to remember he is a Transformer so like the "standard" Autobots and Decepticons in scale with humans the dinos i am sure would be bigger stature too.
and about the tail,i keep the mace on the tail without the large stick,so wrecking ball tail,stays in better,and doesn't look like his tail is flipping off everybody behind him. and about the weightlifter look,i know another pose where you make him hold the mace like a staff,make his legs go alittle outward,and hold it to the side of him,and make him look that direction. i did bad instructions,but it still looks better. and if people REALLY have such a hufe problem with the arms,for the love of god,use the given tab,and rotate his forearms instead of his hand,god,people,don't complain about something that is such an easy fix.
I got this guy and found that if you mistransform his "rib cage" and move it up, it looks much better. The arms look slightly weird, but overall it seems better proportioned AND hides the robot legs from side view.
Samurai. His robot mode is designed to look like a samurai. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that one of the scenes from the trailer(s) is Optimus riding him and then them smashing through one of those giant Japanese 'gates' (I forget what they are called). Samurai.
This doesn't look like that bad of a dinosaur mode compared to the leader class. I think I'm most excited for the new packaging these guys come in....I miss the excitement I got from rotf.. Good stuff, Paul!
Optibotimus the thing about how you dont like the arms on the grimlock you got ,the hasbro version of grimlock I think has the way you want the arms to be.
takara actually will release him in proper color but in his leader class form, but to me voyager one is nicer that leader one, there is a G1 repaint version for voyager grimlock from takara anyway
your wrong... It's 150 feet because it's a dinosaur for the Cybertronians, so it's based off of something like Optimus's size, sorta like with us. I mean, would Optimus be able to ride on our size T-Rex? Nope. Grimlock and his Dinobots are sized to be in comparison with the Bots, not humans
I think the AoE is actually going towards the medieval look. With Optimus confirmed as 'Silver knight Optimus/ Knight Optimus.' Drift as a Samurai, and the dinobot toys have different knight helmets. With Grimlock however, he does look like a knight, but also has a babaric look towards him.
I think when you do a review, you should assemble it exactly the way it was intended and review it like that. After the main review, then change it around to what you think would've worked better so that we get a good look of the original design as opposed to how you feel the design should have been.
Grimlock is an upscaled t-Rex so prime can ride him. He's basically what the scale of what grimlock would be if prime was human sized. If that makes sense
well in the old cartoon grim was a Rex so he should be here plus he has 2 fingers, just like a t Rex, plus he's a transformer so he can be very big because he is a cybertronian.
I actually like this new Knight look for these dinobots. Its something I have always thought he would look like really, just this big hulking berserker, I think his helmet is based on Mongolian & Chinese warriors since they have a very similar design helmet. And as for his shoes, I do believe those were either actual knight armor or they were medieval fashion of noblemen. And his lower half does remind me a lot of Gundam Deathscythe Hell from the Mobile Suite Gundam Wing anime series and Endless Waltz OVA movie.
I saw it online i was doing some research to find out a little more about the story. I cant remember what the website is but I can kind of see a little Predicon influence. Mainly with Strafe and Grimlock.
Yet another good review!!! Do you know if the dinobots will transform into robot mode in the movie or just stay as robotic dinosaur aliens? Also will they speak in that caveman sort of tone??? Keep up the good reviews!!!
I think the toy looks terrible, the dino mode isn't good, but the robot mode isn't bad, I like the head, no I don't like any of the movie transformer designs, but I must say that Grimlock in his dinomode for the movie looks....AWESOME!!! never thought I would say that but I have to admit he looks great in the trailers!!!
Well I think when it comes to getting dinobots from this movie, im going to display grimlock in robot mode and all the others in dino mode just like a display my animated figures.
Wow, three years already. So anyway, I followed up your advice and skipped out the figure (and actually the whole movie line) back in the day. Out of curiosity and found a good used price for this figure, I bought it for the giggles... You know what... I kind of like it, heck, love it even. After decades of only collecting CHUGs, this particular movie figure surprised me. I thought it was going to be pure floppy aesthetic garbage. The robot mode like you said is great, the proportion although slightly cartoonish (long leg, short torso) gives it a good forced perspective look, it looks cool standing still. The dino mode also looks good to me sure it's not in scale, and again like you said, this looks like a whatcamacallit-Rex, but it looks cool. It's beefy and menacing. Maybe I grew tired of CHUG aesthetics and the retools/repaints, but I'm giving the movie line a chance this time around.
In a while I will be getting a pair of takara rumble and frenzy headphones, and if you would like I would gladly send them to you if you would like to review it.
Abelisaurs and tyrannosaurs live on different sides of the world tyrannosaurs lived in the north while Abelisaurs lived in south . T.rex and carnotaurus are the largest of their species while spinosaurs are the only dinosaurs of their time to be considered amphibious spinosaurus is now considered the largest carnivorous dinosaur I'm really sorry if was a bit rude optibotimus
My goodness, it's like Hasbro didn't even try this time for Age of Extinction figures. I was in disbelief when I saw the leader class Optimus (I always buy the leader class Optimus for the three movies). Such a disappointment. Compare the detail of Hasbro to Takara, for example, the Jetwing Prime. That thing was an absolute beast, fingers cross that Takara will come up with a better prime.
Great review. Still unsure of picking him up myself (when he is available). Personally, I don't like the look of his dino mode very much, which is a shame. His head seems too big. And that weapon? Why? How ever, I do really like his robot mode (except of course his arms look wonky), and gives me a Omni/Omegamon feel.
I think all the Dinobots are in scale with eachother just like real dinosaurs would be. But Michael Bay made them all bigger so the Autobots could ride them without looking ridiculous
Litebikeman 97 that's implying that it already didn't look ridiculous.
He has horns because he is supposed to represent a dragon. That's why he can also breathe fire. Optimus prime represents a knight. That's why he has a double-edged sword and a shield and extra armor on his forearms and armor on his shoulders near his neck. Grimlock is also 150 feet because he has to be able to be rode by optimus, and he is a larger, mechanical version of a tyrannosaurus made of flesh and bone instead of metal. Like how optimus is a larger mechanical version of a human.
Grimlock looks like the Shredder.
14:04 he does have a Robot mode! he battled Optimus Prime! he was badass!! (optimus was badass!!) he looked movie accurate believe it or not.
lord starscream yeah hasbro is lazy there just repainting AOE models
looks like a deluxe class figure. i thought he'd be a bit bigger as a voyager class.
Thanks for the size comparisons; always do them as your fans want them!!
8:46 :D THANK YOU OPTIBOTIMUS!!!!!! I actually have the Platinum edition Grimlock vs Bruticus set now and I love it!!!!!
17:57 It's like they designed the toy to make stand there and look awesome next to the FOC figure
the AOE toys that I'm not getting is that grimlock slash and galvatron with the weird chest piece and really bad back pack the rest is nice I can work of crosshairs
The leader class Optimus prime thats pretty shit as well withThat backpack..
well I'm gonna have to live with that and the backpack is not that bad its only the back part of the truck unlike the first one that was shit the leader is better
You seem correct on most your choices; out of the dinobots slug and strafe are the ones i'm getting because they represent the original dinobots more than slash and scorn; I also believe that the leader prime is better than the shiny chrome one; even the FOC grimlock is better than this voyager one in my opinion.
the leader is better IN ROBOT MODE the dino looks kinda streched and thin
I'd still get Scorn.He still looks pretty good.
5:22 new favorite Optibotimus moment.
The largest discovered theropod is Giganotosaurus Carolinii which is aproximatley 6 feet from nose to the tip of it's tail which is twice as big as a T-Rex but still not as big as Grimlock.. Some major liberties were taken here.. XD

and about the tail,i keep the mace on the tail without the large stick,so wrecking ball tail,stays in better,and doesn't look like his tail is flipping off everybody behind him.
and about the weightlifter look,i know another pose where you make him hold the mace like a staff,make his legs go alittle outward,and hold it to the side of him,and make him look that direction. i did bad instructions,but it still looks better. and if people REALLY have such a hufe problem with the arms,for the love of god,use the given tab,and rotate his forearms instead of his hand,god,people,don't complain about something that is such an easy fix.
I got this guy and found that if you mistransform his "rib cage" and move it up, it looks much better. The arms look slightly weird, but overall it seems better proportioned AND hides the robot legs from side view.
Great review dude! i had the same problem with mine with the tail not tabbing in together! ugh! lol =D
Can you review your G2 Grimlock?
Nah LOL he's in such terrible condition, it would be me mostly talking about how bad it is lol
How about your Classics Prime? You've shown him off, but yet never reviewed him.
Martin Serrano Your right dude
*you're
+Optibotimus. you know there's an option of "buying a new/another one", right?
Samurai. His robot mode is designed to look like a samurai. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that one of the scenes from the trailer(s) is Optimus riding him and then them smashing through one of those giant Japanese 'gates' (I forget what they are called). Samurai.
This doesn't look like that bad of a dinosaur mode compared to the leader class. I think I'm most excited for the new packaging these guys come in....I miss the excitement I got from rotf.. Good stuff, Paul!
YOU HEARD ME OPTIBOTIMUS! GO TEAM BOTIMUS!
I do like this version of Grimlock and from first toys of this line he is among my favorites alongside with Scorn and Slug.
Optibotimus the thing about how you dont like the arms on the grimlock you got ,the hasbro version of grimlock I think has the way you want the arms to be.
Grimlock looks like a genie with those feet. Iron Shiek would be proud.
takara actually will release him in proper color but in his leader class form, but to me voyager one is nicer that leader one, there is a G1 repaint version for voyager grimlock from takara anyway
your wrong... It's 150 feet because it's a dinosaur for the Cybertronians, so it's based off of something like Optimus's size, sorta like with us. I mean, would Optimus be able to ride on our size T-Rex? Nope. Grimlock and his Dinobots are sized to be in comparison with the Bots, not humans
Nope he is not that height
I think the AoE is actually going towards the medieval look.
With Optimus confirmed as 'Silver knight Optimus/ Knight Optimus.'
Drift as a Samurai, and the dinobot toys have different knight helmets.
With Grimlock however, he does look like a knight, but also has a babaric look towards him.
I will definitely be picking this guy up. Not the stretch limo leader class
The entire assembly or section or assembly.
I get a samurai vibe from him, which calls back to the inspiration for Transformers designs anyway.
grimlock is a trex because it was labeled as that in G1, plus he's a transformer so he is going to be twice the size of a normal trex.
I think when you do a review, you should assemble it exactly the way it was intended and review it like that. After the main review, then change it around to what you think would've worked better so that we get a good look of the original design as opposed to how you feel the design should have been.
where did you get your dino bots, I cant find them anywhere?????
Although I am disappointed I never did have any plans to get him.I'll just wait for the leader class version.Good review optibotimus.
and finally grimlock is here!
Grimlock is an upscaled t-Rex so prime can ride him. He's basically what the scale of what grimlock would be if prime was human sized. If that makes sense
At 1:28-1:36. To be fair, Grimlock's size in the movie makes sense because Optimus Prime is actually taller than an actual T-Rex.
This will definitely be a great pickup
The hasbro version of grimlock has those arms you like about those pieces being on the side of his arms
Great review what I don't like is that mace I just don't know why they should just stick with the sword.
well in the old cartoon grim was a Rex so he should be here plus he has 2 fingers, just like a t Rex, plus he's a transformer so he can be very big because he is a cybertronian.
CALEBELACB he's way bigger than prime
Hey Optibotimus, can I ask you what is the title of the song of your intro? I just kinda like the riff.
About the usefulness of up-pointing shoes, just try stomping on that foot...
I suppose that works too LOL
Or kicking someone in the crotch.
Jarmo Verriet Ouch...
Jarmo Verriet Robots don't have genitals though, but I wouldn't be surprised if the movie made a gag like that.
Andres Avalos Well, Devastator had wrecking ball gentials in ROTF.
I have that same G2 Grimlock! Only mine is silver and gold
I actually like this new Knight look for these dinobots. Its something I have always thought he would look like really, just this big hulking berserker, I think his helmet is based on Mongolian & Chinese warriors since they have a very similar design helmet. And as for his shoes, I do believe those were either actual knight armor or they were medieval fashion of noblemen. And his lower half does remind me a lot of Gundam Deathscythe Hell from the Mobile Suite Gundam Wing anime series and Endless Waltz OVA movie.
Hasbro confirmed at Toy Fair that the Dinobots will have robot modes (and legitimate personalities instead of being mindless beasts) in the movie.
I will buy the knock 📴 version of grimlock its like that but small
I don't know why people dislike the look of these TF4 characters so much. I actually like them.
Great review man!
hey Optibotimus, if you had to choose (disregarding price) between the 2 deluxes, or the voyager, which are better figures?
Im so happy the dinobots are finally showing up on the movies :D
Ya one of them is my favorite that being scorn
having the dino arms up makes it alot more better
Hey optibotimus I just wanted to ask you which one should I buy the voyager or leader Grimlock nice vid by the way
optibotimus, what do you recommend me to buy, Voyager Class Grimlock or Leader Class Grimlock?
Optibotimus, or Paul, at sdcc they are going to sell voyager grimlock strafe slug and snarl with a g1 coloring.
Great review! Little fun fact Bay's Dinotbot designs were inspired by the Predicons from Transformers Prime. Maybe that's why Grimlock is so big.
And who told you that? I never heard that before...
I saw it online i was doing some research to find out a little more about the story. I cant remember what the website is but I can kind of see a little Predicon influence. Mainly with Strafe and Grimlock.
TF4SOURCE It's possible...but seeing something online doesn't count as a credible source lol
True very true indeed. But good review I enjoy watching your videos.
Yet another good review!!! Do you know if the dinobots will transform into robot mode in the movie or just stay as robotic dinosaur aliens? Also will they speak in that caveman sort of tone??? Keep up the good reviews!!!
They do but they don't talk
What do you prefer strafe or scorn as a toy
I think the toy looks terrible, the dino mode isn't good, but the robot mode isn't bad, I like the head, no I don't like any of the movie transformer designs, but I must say that Grimlock in his dinomode for the movie looks....AWESOME!!! never thought I would say that but I have to admit he looks great in the trailers!!!
1:27 - 1:37 actually thats 3x as big as a t.rex. the largest t.rex's were 54-56 ft in lenth
G Creations made the best Grimlock I have every seen. The M. Wrath version is huge.
Should I get this or Age of Extinction Voyager Class Evasion Mode Optimus Prime?
He's a T-rex. Because he's Grimlock, it's his thing. Which will not change at all.
"ME GIRMLOCK WANT TO EAT AT CHILI'S" said Grimlock. "Well your 150 feet tall" said TheBrickRookie
Agree
Optibotimus, will you be reviewing the hot toys 1/6 scale T"he Amazing Spiderman 2" figures?
Well I think when it comes to getting dinobots from this movie, im going to display grimlock in robot mode and all the others in dino mode just like a display my animated figures.
Can't believe I passed on FoC Grimlock because I thought for sure that they'd make an awesome AoE Grimlock. Fooled me again Hasbro!
I like it this one and the leader class but I prefer the foc grimlock my opinion
Me too
hey optibotimus! have you seen Takara Tomy MB09 Dinoride Grimlock???
I already have the FOC version but should I get this?
Grim lock will have a robot mode, so will slug, but I don't know about the others.
Takara is releasing a figure called black knight grimlock that is described as a "movie accurate grimlock"
I like him cant wait for them to come out in Australia
I don't really like the mace for Grimlock i think they should of stuck with the sheild and sword
I found one at Walmart yesterday I didn't get it though I think it was first edition one though
ITS HERE!!!!!
Loves this figure dude !!
Pretty sure the black part of his maul would keep his tail together on the end.
Wow, three years already. So anyway, I followed up your advice and skipped out the figure (and actually the whole movie line) back in the day. Out of curiosity and found a good used price for this figure, I bought it for the giggles... You know what... I kind of like it, heck, love it even.

+Michael Adhi Nugroho thank you for watching! It's always good to expand horizons and try new things :)
so between this one and the leader wich one would be better?
I think he looks a lot like Shredder. Why did they make Grimlock look like Shredder?
I noticed that they don't put the tech specs anymore I really liked the specs
In a while I will be getting a pair of takara rumble and frenzy headphones, and if you would like I would gladly send them to you if you would like to review it.
Hmm, this version in G2 colors. Kinda think it would work.
where do you order these toys
Abelisaurs and tyrannosaurs live on different sides of the world tyrannosaurs lived in the north while Abelisaurs lived in south . T.rex and carnotaurus are the largest of their species while spinosaurs are the only dinosaurs of their time to be considered amphibious spinosaurus is now considered the largest carnivorous dinosaur I'm really sorry if was a bit rude optibotimus

Compare the detail of Hasbro to Takara, for example, the Jetwing Prime. That thing was an absolute beast, fingers cross that Takara will come up with a better prime.
He did use that weapon in the movie and Did have the same robot mode
Great review. Still unsure of picking him up myself (when he is available). Personally, I don't like the look of his dino mode very much, which is a shame. His head seems too big. And that weapon? Why? How ever, I do really like his robot mode (except of course his arms look wonky), and gives me a Omni/Omegamon feel.
fak, u don't even know how a T-rex scales...
Perhaps it's a hybrid of both species?
So, what dinobot are you looking forward to see in AOE?
You always lookso happywhen showing off the figure yourreviewig...cant say I blame ya lol
the dino arms up looks sooo much better insteed of ugly down
and they are making dark night grimlock more movie accurate
Grimlock looks like a samurai but still he looks awesome!
I can see how they look like knights but Grimlock looks more like a samurai. But even the samurai didn't have elf shoes.
hey optibotimus i heard that takara wil release a takare black knight grimlock which has more movie accurate color scheme
Hopefully but I'm planning on repainting my Voyager to be more movie accurate
Cool tail for grimlock
grimlock is awesome. I will buy him when I can.
You can turn the arm so you can have it pegged in looking normal
He's form cyber torn so he is going to be bigger than a regular trex with horns
I love how the Figures are better than the Dinobots in the movie xD
I'm trying to buy grimlock how much is he plz reply
Nice display cases man!
