Studio Series Grindor is a redeco and retool of "Decepticon Blackout” from the same line, with the original mold’s partner Scorponok being replaced by Ravage (despite the two never being in the same scene). As such, Grindor transforms into an MH-53 Pave Low helicopter instead of his correct CH-53E Super Stallion, which can store Ravage on the underside of its tail. Non-spinning landing gear is attached to the back half of the compartment section and the nose, but they can’t be folded away in vehicle mode due to lack of space. Grindor’s tail rotor can be attached to either forearm to simulate his weapon, as opposed to using the bigger propeller from his back like in the movie.Much like Blackout, Grindor is slightly mistransformed in packaging with his refueling probe being folded flat against his body and his digitigrade legs and leg details also flattened. His lower back/helicopter tail area panel is also left hanging down to keep him as flat as possible in package.dor is a redeco and retool of "Decepticon Blackout” from the same line, with the original mold’s partner Scorponok being replaced by Ravage (despite the two never being in the same scene).

Grindor’s retooled hands possess swiveling wrists and articulated fingers. He features numerous subtle but important deco changes to differentiate him from Blackout, including rusty details on his arms, crotch, and rotor, gold markings next to his rotor blades, yellow highlights on his cockpit side windows, a red marking on the end of his refueling probe, brighter silver paint, and darker grey plastic. His main propeller also spins more freely.
It should be noted that some copies of Grindor don’t tab together in helicopter mode as well as Blackout.
Grindor comes with a cardboard backdrop depicting the forest battle from Revenge of the Fallen. Hilariously, the back of the packaging notes that fighting Optimus Prime proves to be a headache for Grindor. Priceless.
"Grindor & Ravage” were first found in June 2021 at Toyworld in Australia, and subsequently at Target stores in the United States, before any official reveal.
