Title:
Grimlock 1st Boxed
Description:
Grimlock (2005)
Alternator ID number: 9
Binaltech ID number: BT-10
Accessories: Engine/gun, energo-sword
For the Alternators line, Grimlock’s alternate mode was changed from a dinosaur into a licensed, 1:24 scale silver Ford Mustang with opening doors, hood, and trunk, a detailed interior, rubber tires and a working steering mechanism. His engine transforms into a double-barreled gun, and he also carries an orange "energo-sword” which can attach to the underside of his vehicle mode. The toy is one of the most-complained-about Alternators toys, due to its notoriously finicky transformation (with many small steps that must be performed in exactly the right order) and to several pieces which have a tendency to pop off with relatively small amounts of force. And it’s a Grimlock who doesn’t transform into a Tyrannosaurus rex.
The main difference between Hasbro’s Alternators version of the toy and the Japanese Binaltech version is that the latter has its vehicle shell partially made out of painted die-cast metal parts, whereas the Alternators version is made entirely out of plastic (not counting the rubber tires). In addition, the Binaltech version’s engine/gun and the wheel’s rims are vacuum-metalized, whereas they’re simply painted silver for the Alternators version.
This sculpt was retooled into Alternators/Binaltech Wheeljack.
