Starscream91 What about a Leader Class Shockwave and Bonecrusher as one of the candidates? I wouldn’t mind a nicely molded Voyager Bonecrusher thought.
Patrick the Knight no bonecrusher is voyager class wave 3 confirmed said alex yu but that was tf studio series too you can check out the ragin nation on youtube
At 20:29 you don’t have to force the fist into the cavity. The place where the elbow connects to the body has a locking mechanism that allows the whole arm to go one more click inside, making it a nice fit for the fist.
I've been looking forward to this review! This leader Grimlock is a DRASTIC improvement over the previous one. The engineering that went into this figure is pretty impressive as well. Thanks for the review Optibotimus!
Great Review Paul. I just realized I ve been watching you for nearly a decade. If I could, I’d buy you a pint or seven for all the fun and help-with-transformations you’ve given me over the years.
I would love to see all of the dinobots like this because it would look great on the shelf. I think they should give scorn a slight red tint as that is shown in the film.

Thank you for showing us how to transform Grimlock both ways. I was struggling with the tiny pictures in the instructions. The skirt of my Grimlock doesn't stay in it's place. It keeps falling between its legs in dino mode... Thumbs up straight away for your video! You have a new subscriber.
I might have to pick this up. There haven't been a lot of movie toys that have caught my interest since the Voyager megatron, but damn Grimlock looks good.
I picked him up for $30 (it was loose) from a local store and i am blown away. Its quality is spectacular. Id be greedy if i said that a Slug or a Strafe with the same size and treatment would be a miracle.
If (hopefully when but we'll see) they make a leader scorn they could do what they did with starscream and just upscale the tlk scorn with some added bits and similar paint to this and I'd be very happy. But slug and strafe definitely need brand new molds
I agree. Honestly they should do Snarl, Slog, and slash too. Slog could be the biggest leader class, snarl is the biggest voyager class, and Slash should have an updated mold, since his size is OK
I wish they had taken that dino-mode codpiece and instead of just tucking it under, maybe had it break apart in the middle, on a double joint, so you cover that open gaps behind the arms. I think it would have been cool and help break up the solid black paintjob on that giant piece, too.
Most of the AOE designs were like that, unfortunately. Like you have to look really hard at Crosshairs’ CGI model to find Corvette parts on him. But yeah, Prime’s probably the worst offender.
How amazing is this guy?! I had to check twice to see that it wasn't the Leader Class Grimlock from AOE, it really isn't, it's WAY better! The color is a bit too dark for my taste, but not too bad, and the transformation seems easier than the previous one, that robot mode is just incredible! I wonder if they will make the other Dinobots in the Studio Series at some point? Awesome review, Paul!
I just bought the last studio series blackout. Plus I wish I could download the dinobot charge theme from iTunes, they don't have the whole soundtrack.
I Def think this could be on the best movie figures ever made, along with ROTF Prime, Leader Class Brawl. Im Honestly not a fan of the movies, but i do like the movie designs for the most part. They nailed this dude as a leader class!
Actually shouldn't be able to rotate the body in dino mode since the arm is supposed to lock into the torso and prevent that. It's just stupidly hard to do. Also have the exact same poor left hip connection on mine. And I'm really with you on wanting the skirt piece to tab in for dino mode, especially since mine's a bit looser than yours appears to be. But otherwise... wow. This piece is incredible. It's all worth it for that robot mode.
Not a movie just a grimlock fan. This is the only SS figure I have picked up along with the SS KO. The dino mode is disappointing (apart from head) too many gaps. But the Bot mode rocks and is damn near flawless.
You know those clips that you clip the two halves of the waist to the body... mine is starting to het stress marks on them i was wondering if they would break and if so what is the best way around it
Out of all of the Studio Series Transformers toys, i have to say this is the best one I have seen. I will admit i'm still a sucker for the Voyager Grimlock seeing as hoe it really wasnt the worst possible toy we got...but this one blew mr. Grimlock/Spiky Giraffe out of the water.
"I was expecting a giant car"
LMFAO
Every transformers fan knows that line
"We'll let Prime figure this one out."
"very wise"
You defend my family or die autobots were going to prove who we are and why were here
I think leader class is where this studio series truly shines

If there is leader class scorn then grimlock is much smaller than scorn
@Starscream91 lol dude bonecrushers as big as optimus prime and there r alot of transformers on wheels in leaderclass
THIS IS BADASS. This solves my worries from seeing too many orange colored grimlocks sold in toystores.
That thumbnail looked freakin AWESOME
Love
My god this is one of the most amazing vanilla paint job ive seen in a while, i pre-ordered this thing without thinking twice. amazing
Some random dude how much? Amazon has it for 49.99
i paid 100 bucks for both gridlock and blackout studio set figures on BBTS
49.99?!?!?!
I can't find it for *any* less than 150!
Artimus Prime relax, Studio Series line is hitting American retail pretty soon so you can get it at retail price
As he was transforming Grimlock, I kept thinking to myself "Geez, he transforms the same way Beast Wars Megatron."
Damn… I remember watching your videos when ROTF came out. Time flies

I seriously hope this line stays. I'd love to get a redo of all the dinobots. Seriously need a Shockwave too
exactly!!!!
Yeah!!!I really want the grimlock 1 the most though
i would get grimlock but i hate everything about aoe and tlk so i’ll stick with blackout
You guys got your wish!
James Hadaway shockwave has been announced ;>

Finally received my pre ordered grimlock and thanks for the review man
Oh nice! despite the hate on AOE. the design on Grimlock (and all Dinobots) was great to me, definitely get him :D
Great review Paul!!! This figure is amazing and hands down the best movie Grimlock ever. This is a must buy IMO...
Holy shit, looks amazing. Wish the rest of the studio series matched this quality.
Finally a good grimlock toy
Not as Big as ROTF Leader Optimus, but still better than the old AOE'S Grimlock...
I agree Tran Iam i hate the grimlock of the last night
This grimlock is the most similar to the movie character !
Age of Extinction, Grimlock I think was still good. But this one is definitely much better! Especially in his paint job!!
optibotimus this guy looks like a masterpiece compared to his other figures!
I hope they will make more Movie Accurate figures for the Studio Series line. I hope they will make a Voyager or Leader Bonecrusher
Alex Teutsch Voyager bonecrusher was confirmed
You predicted it
WE NEED ALL THE DINOBOTS IN THIS STUDIO SERIES !!

Grimlock the T-Rex,
Is a very jolly dude...
Don't you ever joke
about his tiny hands,
Or he'll treat you as his food! #Frosty
Oh yeah grimlock
Me grimlock fan very happy
Holy crow you still make these I'm subbing
I wish I could give more likes to your video because I love the "technical difficulties" part XD.
I just got mine out of the package, and after fiddling with it, I think the part of his mace arm where his tail folds out could pass as a gun
Holy... this thing (including you) is awesome.
This version of Grimlock looks like it's from some kind of death metal music video and yes, it looks so METAL.

Silver Rub N Buff on the rubber teeth and unpainted plastic takes this to the next level. Easy mod, makes huge difference
Woah that looks soo cool I got the bumblebee one at Kroger and man they have so many studio series there great vid
Awesome figure ! And when I think that the most screen accurate Grimlock we have ever get was a fucking 3 steps changer !
I'm mad I didn't get the notification, I wanted to see you review this. It didn't even show in my recommended.
Double check your email settings
optibotimus yeah it says i am. Ill just check each day. Thanks botimus, for the help and almost 3 years of quality reviews and entertainment
17:03 where the real fun starts boy !
If (hopefully when but we'll see) they make a leader scorn they could do what they did with starscream and just upscale the tlk scorn with some added bits and similar paint to this and I'd be very happy. But slug and strafe definitely need brand new molds
yes and up scale strafe and slug to large voyagers
I agree. Honestly they should do Snarl, Slog, and slash too. Slog could be the biggest leader class, snarl is the biggest voyager class, and Slash should have an updated mold, since his size is OK
Can't wait for repaints of this guy. It will be awesome :) Good Simpsons cut away
The paint applications are insane. I only wish he had his staff from the concept art (hopefully a 3rd party makes one).
I really love this grimlock, but I'm only gonna get it once they redo all the dinobots which are probably all gonna leaders too scale nicely.
I so want to see a mpm grimlock. That would be the biggest tf other than a mpm devastator
I can't wait for to get a studio series deluxe class Ironhide .
Thank you. I couldn't have done it without you.

I got this from Target. He was this close to being gone. Overall, it's so much better than any other variants. 💯💯
I kinda hate the AOE design for Optimus, it stopped looking like a “Transformer”
Totally agree.
Most of the AOE designs were like that, unfortunately. Like you have to look really hard at Crosshairs’ CGI model to find Corvette parts on him. But yeah, Prime’s probably the worst offender.
He’s designed like that because he’s meant to look more like a knight of cybertron.
Jordan Harrington i am totally agree with you
I like the old design
You're darn RIGHT gridlock was big!
He was SO big they never showed him in ROBOT form EVER again for the rest of the series.
I never noticed grimlock had two t-Rex shoulder pads. I thought they were two halves of the same head. My mind is blown 🤯
You should’ve put prime out to see if he can get on grimlock
LOL at the “Technical Difficulties” screen. 😂
As soon as it hit shelves, i'm getting it to replace my leader class from age of extinction movie one.
How amazing is this guy?! I had to check twice to see that it wasn't the Leader Class Grimlock from AOE, it really isn't, it's WAY better! The color is a bit too dark for my taste, but not too bad, and the transformation seems easier than the previous one, that robot mode is just incredible! I wonder if they will make the other Dinobots in the Studio Series at some point? Awesome review, Paul!
there’s only one figure left we truly need
it starts with s and ends with oundwave
"I love you, and you love me" Lol
“I love you, you love me” LOL you got that from Barney the purple dinosaur
I got Blackout last night and man I LOVE it. No one is snatching up the leader cases at my local Target, hopefully Grimmy will be there next week!
Nobody loves the transformers movies because of the stories. But not the robot design. Am I right or wrong? 😆 love ur video reviews 👍👍👍
I think the "story" and the robot designs are pretty equally garbage.
Bastian. I think some people like the design n some don't like it. But I'm sure everyone don't like the story in the movies 😂😂😂😂😂lol
I think the Movies and robot designs are garbage, but the toys for the most part are pretty great.
I just bought the last studio series blackout. Plus I wish I could download the dinobot charge theme from iTunes, they don't have the whole soundtrack.
"Were giving you freedom"!
I Def think this could be on the best movie figures ever made, along with ROTF Prime, Leader Class Brawl. Im Honestly not a fan of the movies, but i do like the movie designs for the most part. They nailed this dude as a leader class!
so glad i bought this at a lucky discount. $50 is a lot! at least they are doing the paint job justice
Best AOE Grimlock ever.
Love the paint job on him
I wish the parts (arms,legs,chest,tail and Dino head) were diecast metal
You can click in the knees in Dino mode... I hope they make the other dinobots in larger scale
Thank you so much for the tutorial
Actually shouldn't be able to rotate the body in dino mode since the arm is supposed to lock into the torso and prevent that. It's just stupidly hard to do. Also have the exact same poor left hip connection on mine. And I'm really with you on wanting the skirt piece to tab in for dino mode, especially since mine's a bit looser than yours appears to be.
But otherwise... wow. This piece is incredible. It's all worth it for that robot mode.
Try slotting the skirt up in the underside of the tail like I did
We need the rest of the Dinobots in Voyager classes or maybe even leader classes...
"me grimlock smash you like bug" 😂
What is the name of that bumblebee at 4:00 ? Does it transform? Want to know so I can pick it up for my nephew.
Cristian Dominguez Transformers Studio Series 01 Bumblebee from the Transformers: 2007 movie.
Yes it does transform :)
you should review studio blackout, its amazing
Be patient
optibotimus lol
Oro YEE!!!!!
SMProductions Wrestling yee
Zero Two yee
actually, that ball spike exist in the movie if you watch it closely in slowmo.
Damn... *i was expecting a giant car*
The question is, can Optimus ride on him?
If it had a hand instead of the mace.....it might be the best movie figure. It'd be close.
Jason Sawyer dna design is doing an upgrade
Wow awesome review of the new Grimlock
Man i chose blackout over grimlock, idk if that was a good decision
Okay I’m already jealous he is also perfect😄😄😄😄😎😎😎😎😊👍🏻!!!
His arms was dino mode's legs at fall of cybertron game
now if they really are cheeky they'll will make a car version
Because if he sported his look from The Last Knight he'd barely be visible in the box
I was just looking at that yesterday at target. Didn't get it but was hoping you'd cover it.
Damn, may have to pick that up now.
This figure is the shit. Haven't opened it yet but I know I'll be impressed
We’ve seen the dinobots and some form of predaconish looking season bots. Who else thinks we need to see the insecticons
good to see that the good transformers toys are still around and not just that 1 2 3 step shit
NO INSTRUCTION GANG FAM
Not a movie just a grimlock fan. This is the only SS figure I have picked up along with the SS KO. The dino mode is disappointing (apart from head) too many gaps. But the Bot mode rocks and is damn near flawless.
You know those clips that you clip the two halves of the waist to the body... mine is starting to het stress marks on them i was wondering if they would break and if so what is the best way around it
Cool, now they should do Lockdown and just copy Peru Kill, releasing a version that's actually affordable.
Is this figure worth picking up?
Thanks for watching
i just noticed how the grimmlock movie design looks a lot like the guyver...
Wow cool a dinobot grimlock his one of my favorite character in transformers. I love all transformers i am addicted on this movie and cartoons
Was that a g1 reference "spike hand"
Spike witwiky
According to the movie, his right mace becomes the t Rex' right foot.😎
So ummmmm takara/Hasbro when the rest of the ss dinobots coming out cuz that would be amazing
This things a beast , I have to get him
Out of all of the Studio Series Transformers toys, i have to say this is the best one I have seen. I will admit i'm still a sucker for the Voyager Grimlock seeing as hoe it really wasnt the worst possible toy we got...but this one blew mr. Grimlock/Spiky Giraffe out of the water.
what's the intro's soundtrack called?
That barney reference got me
I don't like Age of Extinction but I really like this figure.
