This Takara Grimlock is really a very nice toy. As with all Dinobots however the whole idea of a "robot in disguise" is a completely defeated purpose with this guy. Honestly if you see a giant metallic tyrannosaurus rex walking down the street you may wonder who thought that was a good way to hide? (After you run away in horror of course!)
In any case he really is a nice piece for any classics line collection. His dinosaur mode is very articulate with a nice modern look as to the biological design of the creature he represents. One word of warning though, be careful of the spring loaded missile! It is very powerful and can be lost quite easily since it flies so far. Other than that he has nice chrome paint and that little extra detail that makes Takara figures so nice!
In robot mode he is a well made representation of the Grimlock we all knew from the original series. The back cannon can be put into either hand and the tail has four very durable joints that offer you a highly articulated melee weapon. Also he has a very nice autobot symbol within the red piece on his chest. More little details that Takara likes to add!
Overall I would only recommend this figure to the serious collector. It is nice to have but really not the best transformer you can find on the market today.

Takara will modify the paint schemes on all the Japanese Classics figures.They are introducing completely different paint on Megatron and Astrotrain, and the other figures all will have chrome added along with slightly different designs to their paint scheme. The current images are stock images from Takara of existing Hasbro products, and do not represent the final product that will be shipped.We have confirmed that the packaging will be the same as the US packaging, but a Japanese sticker of some sort will be attached to the box.The Classics version of Grimlock plays on the conception of the tyrannosaurus as a sleeker faster-moving biped as opposed to a tripod-stance type. Easily one of the best figures in the supremely cool Classics line, Grimlock is intricately detailed and heavily articulated in both dino and robot modes. Grimlocka?TMs handheld bayoneted gun (this version with a solid black bayonet blade) serves his dino mode as a back-mounted cannon. Grimlocka?TMs thick multi-segmented tail can be detached and used (in robot mode) as a king of bludgeon or sword.
