Seeing the 86 Grimlock beat out so many masterpiece scale figures makes me so happy as that figure is one of the 3 figures to make me smile when opening it and just staring at it's glory. Merry Christmas and congrats on 10k, you've deserved it

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Merry Belated Christmas. And thank you. Some times Hasbro just KNOCKS it out of the park.

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

Grimlock getting a CHUG figure that rivals most masterpieces is absolutely wild. I still can’t believe such a heavy hitter got a standard release instead of being banished to some obscure size class you can’t find on store shelves. Studio Series Grimlock may not have been the best but I can absolutely see him being the crown jewel of a lot of collections.

[@DJKCP]

1:32 I disagree, the war for cybertron Grimlock design may not be perfect, but it's still pretty badass overall. From the red details that make it look like he has fire coursing through him, to the giant sword and shield that make him a powerhouse, the sharp details, the aggressive look, it's all amazing! Also Planet X Vulcun is extremely well done even if you don't like the design.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It looks bloated like a corpse dredged up from the river too me as opposed to strong. The problem is that it wouldn't even do well here. Like it's inaccurate, and if I think it's so ugly it hurts, then it's not going to get looks cool, so even if it aced the other categories it'd be doomed to a low position no matter what.

[@RID01S]

The design is damn near perfect tho and Planet X did it justice in figure form

The fact that there's a CHUG figure, which the only other figures of the character that it loses to are 2 3rd party figures and an upgraded version of itself is astounding. Chug really has come a long way since the original generations.

Indeed it has, and some times it still stumbles and fails, but the wins are big.

Odd, my dad's masterpiece grimlock is... Actually good, at least, it isn't falling apart, or rusty, or loose, and the lightup fist still works, and i love it.

[@snowbro9862]

Yeah mine too I love the figure

[@ExaltedArchvile]

This truly feels like a milestone. Congrats on reaching 10k man, that is awesome. I'm super glad that 86 Grimlock got such a high spot on the listing because I truly feel he is the definitive Grimlock for most people, myself included. Granted, everything you said does hold up with it being a CHUG figure and all, but damn if it ain't a fuckin home run in spite of that. Lookin forward to seeing more, Merry Christmas dude!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Thank you so much proud to have done something this major for it. He's definitely the Definitive Grimlock if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg, and even then he's not far behind. Merry Christmas to you as well.

Thank you very much. I remember when I first came out as a Channel, and people kept saying "How are you so unknown?" So it's gratifying to become even a little known.

[@chriscaseyg9362]

I am glad Iron Factory has found their niche. The samurai style they've chosen works best for their design strengths. I went with the comic deco for my NA Grimlock admittedly. I don't know how they do it, but NewAge's metallic paint is among the most durable and natural feeling of the bunch.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah that thing looks actually way cooler than the version I got, and I normally wouldn't say that about a Comic deco.

[@chriscaseyg9362]

[@campiggy75]

I remember the day that I saw the Iron Factory Grimlock I said, "I don't care what, or who stops me. This figure will be mine." And now mine should be in by January. It even got me into the other figures in the line; I definitely spent way more than I should have on the Lio Convoy and it is really good. I'll pick up the Ironhide and Ratchet when they are released. Anyway, congrats on 10k and I even though you can die happy I hope you don't get hit by a car.

11:31 was a huge throwback, glad the explosion sound was not as loud this time though, the previous one nearly blew my ears out. Anyways, Merry Christmas! Got my hands on the Lego Optimus Prime as a gift from my parents, and while I know you may not like model building, I find it very enjoyable. Great fun, more as a novelty, and not as a fully fleshed-out figure. To anyone who sees this and was on the fence about him, if you like Lego, you'll LOVE him

Don't worry, Toys R Us is pretty much dead in Canada as well (in my opinion). Deluxe cost $35 Canadian everywhere, but at toys r us, their 45, voyagers go from 45 to 60, and leaders go from 75 to 90. And Rog is a whopping 50 dollars when the og cog costs only 20.

But they don't look like that in the dino mode either?

[@GWolfV3]

Planet X is based on Maximum Dinobots which had a lot of colour differences from the MTMTE version. Also I adore it so hard

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'm glad you like it more than I do, doing that transformation on Camera was hell, those parts feel off so many times. And I didn't realize that. So that's why it looked that way, but then the head is wrong because it should have the Robo Teeth.

[@matthewjoyner1595]

You left a piece out! The deluxe Grimlock from the Classics line. He’s not great but he was my only Grimlock for a long time. He’s a little bit weird because, unlike most Grimlocks, his robot mode legs are actually made up of the beast mode head and chest. He’s definitely not anybody’s favorite Grimlock because he’s such an odd little figure but that’s why I love him!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I left a few things out, but I can only review what I have, and thats one of the few I never picked up.

[@CayeDaws]

Man as someone who can't afford third party and as someone whos interest in the transformers brand was nearly killed by the prime wars trilogy and the last knight, the ss86 dinobots are a massive event for me, especially since the last g1 styled version of the Dinobots were the power of the primes set which were just... well prime wars trilogy in all its worst. It's like why kingdom galvatron meant so much. Fantastic video man

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

Honestly, I find it really funny that you’re doing grimlock on Christmas when I’ve been sharing the Deviljho Christmas meme with pals. Also, christened my return to collecting TF a couple days ago with the SG Ultra Magnus. It’s a deeply flawed figure that I gave a gnarly stress mark on the shoulder peg-hole because the missile’s pegs were made too big by paint. Still love it in spite of its flaws, especially considering the TF toys I grew up with had more gimmicks than joints (Old armada toys are scuffed). Already ordered Toyhax labels for it and I plan to go all out with upgrades and gap-fillers. I wish there were more Delta Magnus toys so I could make a shrine to it, like Thew’s Skywarp Closet.

Sorry to hear that your return was marred by such a mediocre figure, but glad that it still found it's way into your heart.

I'll admit, I was expecting the 86 Grimlock to come out on top. Compared to Gigapower though, yeah I can see why Giga's the superior one. Still, as a dinobot fan, I'm not complaining at all. Any figure that does Grimlock justice is an automatic win in my book. Also Merry Christmas Perspective! I'm really excited to tell you about what gift I got this year: Commander Class Sky Lynx! At first, the only G1 figures I wanted were the Dinobots. But the prospect of a space shuttle turned dragon-bird creature really sold me. And boy, he's even bigger and better than I originally thought. Easily the best figure I have so far and overall best Christmas gift yet! 🎄

[@PerspectiveEnd]

And he got both Number 2 and number 4, and if you don't count the Customized version at all, then it's Number 3 at worst. Merry Christmas to you as well. I'm glad you are loving Skylynx so much. He's a really cool figure.

I know why you find the NA Ymir poses weirdly in Bot mode: almost everyone forgets there's an additional transformation step.

He will look much better afterwards, should you not lengthen the arms.

Never been a fan of the dinobots, but I think I actually like Grimlock enough to buy one because of this video.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Oh huge fan of the Dinobots here. they are some of my favorite of all time.

[@dialNforNinja]

I actually like the Cyberverse DX class Grimlock a lot more than I thought I would, though I would still have gotten an S86 Grimlock if I had the money at the time, of if he was still available at MSRP instead of insane collectors' aftermarket rates. It's not without issues, and I wouldn't put it any higher than maybe #5 in this lineup at best, but when the biggest draw is being a member of the same team as Girl Swoop (whose only toy is tragically crippled by being part of an auto-transform gimmick combiner pair, and based on early concept art instead of her show model as well, so a PotP Swoop with some red paint on the arms is a far better depiction of her anyway) is the biggest draw for him, I can live with this being my only Grimlock until the Legacy Core class dino team is complete, and then probably leaving them in combined mode because the compromises of being combiners at that scale and price point are a little severe, at least judging by the two so far revealed and the general run of Core Class besides Megatron, Soundwave, and Iguanus. I will say that Cyberverse DX Slug is just shockingly good, though, and I love how they added some gold to his color layout to punch it up a bit. Snarl, as a Warrior class, is only okayish, and his tail doesn't split out to the sides like the animation model or G1 but instead is a big chunk of rubbery plastic, probably as a safety requirement due to all the spine plates being too spiky for Little Johnny to be trusted with, and/or to not break if dropped and made out of normal ABS, but at least the sword slashing arm gimmick is done in such a way that it does not actually compromise normal poseability at all, and as such is an example to hold up for all action gimmicks ever. Sludge, as an Ultra, is basically Warrior complexity at Voyager scale, but is at least decent if you can look past the hollow underside of the dino neck, and while weaponforming the tail off isn't super the giant lance it turns into is kinda cool. He's just a big, beefy boy with a big, beefy pokey stick, and I love him much more than I'd expected too. I might go for that model kit Grimlock; I think I saw him recently and I do already have the Optimus and Megatron that appear to be from the same line, or at least came with a packed in post-card-sized peice of magazine grade glossy paper printed with ads for Shockwave on one side and what looks like that Grimlock on the other. I was never a big fan of the G1 Dinobots though, even as a kid at ideal dino-appeal age I didn't like how stupid and disloyal they were, which probably plays a large factor in why the Cyberverse team appeals so much more, beyond the spiked and punched up redesigns of the visuals themselves. Especially nerd-girl Swoop, give her the Disgaea 4/D2/5 Professor as a Pretender shell and you have my waifu for laifu.😉

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Maybe there's some good Cyberverse Grimlocks out there, but I wasn't about to wade through a lot of Bad Cyberverse figures to find the diamond in the rough. Apparently they are going to do a Rerelease of the 86 Grimlock some time in the next year. Slag... Apparently it's the Kubian Bao Grimlock. It does irritate me how disloyal they are but they still have a cool gimmick and a cool look.

@@PerspectiveEnd One of the things I did always appreciate about the Dinobots was that they actualoly look like a unified team, with their shared color scheme and theme. Far more so than even any of the actual combiner groups except for the seacons, non-coincidentally another of my favorite subgroups. Cyberverse making them (for the two episodes they appear in, the "season four" specials) much closer to normal intelligence and the Cybertronian equivalent of idealistic college age kids who decided to go on a road trip and look for adventure and/or the bot whose message (from a flashback in s01) inspired an entire aspect of their culture neatly addressed both of the things I disliked about the original depictions. As long as you don't mind waving your hand a lot and accepting that it's a different universe with a lot of different events, there's no reason those s4 episodes can't stand on their own, for that matter, if you want to check them out. I'm pretty sure they're available free on the official TF KZbin channel, and there is also the incentive of an invading alternate-AU Soundwave as a Mad Max like Ayatollah of Rock-N-Rollah riding on a crazy tank-thing.

How awesome would it be if we actually get a faithful design for grimlock in live action

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I've wanted that my entire life.

[@pacstermh]

I had the model kit Grimlock for a lot of time. Then, one day, the shoulders snapped. And I cryed inside. So I said.. "Fuck it" and bought the 86 version. And I don't regret it.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That's a sad story with a Happy Ending. The model kit is great for what it is, but the 86 is AMAZING for what it is.

[@ColdTRex]

Here are a few ideas for your next subscriber celebration or anniversary Do a "Perspectives top 10 favorite(or least favorite) Chug(or mp) Figures" listing your favorite or least favorite Chug toys, not the best(or worst) but the ones you like(or dislike) the most.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Those are possibilities yeah.

At last, Perspective can die happy

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I can indeed.

[@matthewjoyner1595]

Don’t have any of the 3rd party Grimlock figures so for me, it’s the Masterpiece Grimlock. He’s big, he’s shiny, feels good, looks good. I just got mine out of storage last month and fell in love with it all over again. He’s not perfect, but I love him.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

For me that torso joint and the shoulders just ruin what could have been an amazing figure.

[@illiteratedino]

Congratulations on 10K! This video was well worth the wait. Hot take: Planet X Cacus is one of if not THE most posable Transformer figure out there and I own the Magic Square Light of Peace. Why? It's incredibly posable in both modes. This is something most figures can't claim to have. He has an all new set of joints as a T. rex. Yes, it's missing some minor joints here and there, but it has joints most figures don't. All the other figures are usually just bricks after transforming them. That said, I wouldn't recommend this figure unless you're a huge Grimlock fan. Also, check Jobby's video on Cacus. He figured out how to get the hands out very easily. I tried it and it works brilliantly. The GigaPower reissue of the Grimlock fixed the issue with the hand transformation where if you didn't align some part properly, it would break. I don't own this figure just for the fact that they screwed up the ankle rocker. Like how the hell do you make a figure and fuck up the articulation in such a stupid way!? I actually considered getting the OSKO of the MP Grimlock, but the more I look at it, the more I dislike it. Then I considered the Fanstoys version, but there was something off about the proportions, and your critique perfectly captures my issues with it. The SS86 is closest to perfect, but I only collect MP figures, so that doesn't fit my collection. The fat tail also bothers me in dino mode. You know Toyworld did a redeco of their TM BW Megatron and made him into Grimlock. The head is a Grimlock head. Probably not worth it since the original figure sucked, but it kinda works. If Transart did something similar, I might consider getting it. I like the way DX9 hid the dino head in their figure, but having T. rex kibble is iconic so it's fine. I totally agree with the Newage one being ugly in robot mode. I like going for show accurate, but not accurate to a fault. I'm more than willing to sacrifice show accuracy for better aesthetics. For example, the SS86 Grimlock isn't 100% show accurate but if you haven't seen the show in awhile and see this figure, you wouldn't mistaken it for anything other than the original Grimlock. Even if you put them side by side, the aesthetics of the SS86 just looks better. We need a Masterpiece 2.0 Grimlock.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That is something I do get, like even if neither mode has the most joints, they both have a lot. The problem with that is that it doesn't work if you put the hands in the wrong way, the Fingers lock it into the walls of the calf and they just can't come out. You need to snake something in there and close the hands before the can come out. I don't know how they fucked up, but that's cool, they must have beveled where the elbow goes into the arm because it could get hung up there like the hip skirts. The need to make an OSKO 86 figure. I did but I heard that thing breaks like nothing. Yeah It's Iconic, I don't want it gone. I'd not even say it's accurate to a fault, I'd say they they screwed something uncanny up in their proportions which makes it look super Awkward. We do need an MP2.0

[@MP13-superior]

This was the first video I ever watched from your channel and I’ve loved your content since. (Yes, my channel icon is the 86 Grimlock. This figure RuLeS.)

Someone once did a video where I kicked the crap out of Cliffjumper.

[@rohrschach6299]

Planet x Grimlock is actually not based on the MTMTE and Lost Light version of the character but rather on the Maximum Dinobots Version from IDW Phase 1. He had a completly differnent look in those two Series, and I actually like the Maximum Dinobots Design more than the one he has later. Plus that Series is Drawn by Nick Roche so that makes this Design God Tier automatically

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I don't know that that's true, because the Maximum Dinobots guy had the tooth face.

Now this is a christmas gift worth getting. Happy christmas everybody! (I got a scrapton of transformers today and yesturday. One of them was Legacy Tarantulas which i love)

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Nice! I'm glad to hear it, happy that you love that awesome thing.

[@theholo-library4020]

11:30 I remember that joke. I think it was DoibleDealers rocket that hit Cliffjumper, although I don't remember the video it was from. Also the Iron Factory is what the Bay design does, a nightmarish samurai of doom, but done infinitely better. It actually looks closer to the Bay design than the G1, especially in dino mode. Loved the video, totally worth the wait. Merry Christmas to Perspective and everyone else watching.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It's from the ER Retrospective. And yeah I suppose you are right about that. Thank you so much, happy to hear it lived up to the Hype. Merry Christmas.

No joke my favorite WTB. The jokes slap (as always), ur style compliments the good figs, and it single heartedly convinced me to get the ss86 grim (missed the standard release, picking up the awesome SG deco soon lol)

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'm proud to hear that, people really did love this one, and I understand why, I did intend for this to be my best ever. I'm so happy to have convinced you to get the 86.
