Hi guys, for my first review, i would like to use grimlock, the one transformer i wanted more than optimus prime when i was a kid. And since its my first review, hope you will understand if my review is lacking in some aspects but hey, i did my best so here it goes.

some pics of the packaging:
front:


rear:

top:

inside the box:

instruction/manual:

and finally:
me grimlock out of the box

front view

rear view

side view

and one of the features of this baby (changeable with the pull of a switch at the back of the head)

red visor

blue visor

and now grimmy with his nice sword (it fits perfectly on his right hand via the round peg)

and now the gun

its hard making grimlock carry both weapons since the other hand (the left) doesnt have the round peg and instead, it is fully moveable/poseable

now, transforming this baby is kind of hard since one has to be very careful if you dont want to scratch the paint. It took me a few tries to finally be able to convert the legs into the tail and fit it perfectly. after the tail and legs, everything else is easy and all fits into place easily

right profile

left profile

and yeah, i can look up too..

and here is the other feature, if he can change colors of the visors, he can also do the same when in dino mode via rotating the eyes inside the head

red eyes

blue eyes

and here are the extra accessories (IMO, these things are kind of useless and serve little purpose of adding aesthetics to this already beautiful creation, plus it makes him look wimpy)

me grimlock.. the order taker

and now, here is my chance to become autobot supreme commander!

and the best gimmick by far, the light sabre

and now more fun pics
poseability is somewhat limited but its still incredible for a toy like this

grimlock: you are lucky that you are the supreme commander, its the only reason you are bigger than me now..
optimus prime: tough luck kid

and oh, he does pass the kick test:

Grimlock: me grimlock no cheat the kick test

PROS:
very nice detail
nice packaging
easy to transform once you get the hang of it
even though the back part is a bit big, its not really that heavy and the weight is centered in the middle

CONS:
the size (he should be bigger IMHO)
there are limited diecast parts

(these 2 cons make it somewhat hard to justify its price but im willing to gamble that due to his popularity and the engineering of this bot, prices will go up)

with all this in mind, i give him an overall rating of
1/2 out of

there you go, hope you like it and thanks for looking
