Collectors Dilemma: Animated Grimlock

Just got this piece today, thanks again to Prodimus from SGCollect for the MO!

Probably one of the biggest bad-a$$es on the entire animated series. Grimlock and the remaining 2 dinobots were the only bots to get on my original to-get list. Blitzwing and Prowl just so happened to be included as an afterthought.

Size wise, Grimlock is rather huge, roughly the same size as Blitzwing in robot mode. Transformation wise, it's quite similar to the original G1 Grimlock. Regretably, I don't have the G1 version but I do have the WST version, so I can safely say so.

TT, you hear me, you had better remake the moulds for the G1 dinobots and release them under the encore line, it'd be a real seller.

Gimmicks wise, nothing much, there's a button near the top of the neck that when depressed, opens Grimlock's lower jaw for some good 'ol chomping action. His flaming sword when attached to his right hand, activates a spring loaded feature that makes it look like it's on fire. Other than this 2 gimmicks, he's pretty much a plain 'bot.

For the robot mode, it's pretty show accurate. Most of the major joints are articulated, only gripe I have with the articulation is that they could have given him a bit more articulation on the arms.
The oversized lower jaw syndrome is at work here again, the lower jaw is whaddaya know, oversized...

For the alternate mode, Grimlock's still a T-Rex though no longer the modeled after the old fashioned way a T-Rex was supposed to stand, with the tail resting on the ground. It's a more stream-lined look.
Grimlock still has an oversized lower jaw in this mode, pretty much a trademark for all the 'bots and 'cons in the animated line.
