Title:
Dinobot Grimlock
Description:
• GENS12
• Grimlock (Leader, 2014)
• Series / Number: M4 / #002
• Japanese ID number: AD20
• Japanese release date: 2014-07-19
• Accessories: ”Dragontooth Mace”, shield
• Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro)
Part of the first wave of Age of Extinction: Generations Leader Class toys, this version of Grimlock transforms into an oddly-elongated, chromed out, black-and-bronze Tyrannosaurus with an articulated jaw, and tiny vestigial arms. A large section of his dino mode rear detaches and splits into two accessories: a spiked mace-like weapon formed out of his rather short, pointy tail, which he can wield normally via 5mm post, as well as a spiky, sawbladed shield formed from the dino mode’s hip armor, which can slot onto the dino feet on his forearms.
He features chrome on several pegs, tabs, slots, and holes, all of which have a nasty tendency to flake.
All releases of Age of Extinction Leader-Class Grimlock have very similar looking left & right robot mode feet and thus, are notorious for being incorrectly added to the figure during factory assembly, resulting in a left foot on a right leg, a right foot on a left leg, two left feet, or two right feet. Not having the right foot on the right leg and left foot on the left leg causes him to not stand properly because each foot is designed on the bottom to sit at a specific slanted angle. Both feet look very similar to one another, however they can be identified by finding the corresponding ”L” and ”R” on each one. If placed on a flat surface to be viewed, one will notice that both feet have subtle slants to their stance. Unfortunately, Leader Grimlock’s feet cannot be swapped to correct this issue unless one manages to heat up the rivets holding them in with the tip of a soldering iron and carefully remove them.
This figure was only made available as a store exclusive in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).
His stock photography features a completely different deco compared to the final product.
The TakaraTomy version is dubbed Black Knight Grimlock, and features a more screen-accurate deco... meaning he’s almost entirely silver and grey, but with a bit of bronze. As with the Hasbro release, this Grimlock can also suffer from the incorrectly-assembled feet problem that the original Leader Class figure could have.
