Still Cool….And Still Expensive…But Worth?? | #transformers Robosen Grimlock Review

[@ThatToyGuy]

A lot of people seemed to have missed a couple details.....pain....but this hasn't released yet, Robosen sent it to me, and I was not informed till after the video went live that it is indeed Greg who voices Grimlock

[@aldragonlegend6640]

Toy guy how on earth did you get the must expensive robosen ever 😅

You know that the studio series 07 grimlock has been re-issued in the buzzworthy bumblebee line, so maybe you could pick him up and do a review on it because he is AMAZING

Tf!! They giving him away to ppl who weren’t positive on Optimus! That’s some serious brand honesty!!!

Unlike you.

[@TheGrandAvenger]

I guess I don’t like Optimus in that case (Jk I think it’s cool I just want grimlock)

[@gojirafan5437]

Well I hate Optimus now

[@bufordhighwater9872]

You're hopefully being sarcastic, otherwise I don't think you know what "brand honesty" means.

[@Magmafrost13]

The release rate for these robosen things is insane. I feel like even 1 a year would be pushing it for most of their potential customer base

[@CS-ro1mx]

I was thinking the same thing

[@Rotoscoptic]

This is insane, I mean even for 1500 bucks like holy smokes man! I never thought I would live to see the day that a transformer would walk, talk and transform on its own, and I feel like as time goes on these kind of products will become more commonplace. Fantastic review, warm greetings from quebec!

[@ACookie3994]

Not as impressive, but they have a Optimus prime as well

[@Rotoscoptic]

@@ACookie3994 i know!! Its amazing, but this one is just on another level

[@connorbyrne9847]

Bro these robosens are popping out like crazy! I didn’t even know this existed!

[@andreitaechasirithavorn2104]

me too

[@uainjansun]

I only read a comment that a grimlock was announced but damn I didn't know he was going to be released this soon

[@yoifrdontwannawakeup]

It just came out less than a day ago

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Best G1 Grimlock to date. Looks accurate, and the auto transformation is flawless. Additional to that fun voice commands and you got quite the party favor to show off if you can afford it. It's crazy to me theirs a market for this when average folks like me struggle to keep up with most mainline releases.

[@RarebitFiends]

Yeah, it looks amazing. I think the reason they can get away with this kind of pricing is because original G1 fans are old enough that our kids are now adults and in many cases (at least enough people for these prices to make sense) we have the kind of disposable income one gets in the latter 3rd of their career, boosted further by an empty nest.

[@ascensionindustries9631]

I think it's awesome that now as an adult I have more toys to choose from than when I was a kid. Although I can't afford most of what I want, I'm glad us big kids get the koolest stuffs.

[@justascrub5350]

Robosen is really taking it to the next level this year, there were so many bots I didn't even think would be made by now.

[@THANATOS-PRIME]

Grimlock has always been my favorite Autobot throughout the franchise. I don’t collect masterpiece, but in the case of him and my other favorite, Soundwave, I would definitely make an exception. Absolutely adore his studio series figure and I have it proudly displayed since I took the time to customize it to give him the red eyes which I prefer. As far as this figure goes, it’s a strong maybe.

[@Cloudy_123_]

🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️👩🏻‍🚀🧑🏻‍🚀👨🏻‍🚀

[@aldenxd1463]

Everything about this is insane.... Including the price.

[@BryBurger]

Grimlock looks cheap in that bright silver color... it should have been more gray like the original. Also some withering would be epic for realism.

[@ianchung9709]

I really respect Robosen for going the extra mile and getting the OG voice actors for these figures. I feel like any other company would opt for a cheaper va.

[@NALTOHQ]

Just wow. Didnt even know this was coming out. Expensive yes, but also impressive as hell.

[@thesaiyanlegacy]

WOW. Optimus was decently impressive in design but this Grimlock seems phenomenal.

[@tavinprice2310]

Something about the transformation if robot to dinosaur is so cool looking

[@almcroof2146]

If I had this when G1 cartoon came out for the first time, I would've been a god among men...

[@Transfixed]

Having Greg Berger himself is what clinches it. This is superb. I hope they make a smaller version. And a freebie, you've made the big time Toy Guy!

[@illiteratedino]

This is just purely my blind speculation, but I think the reason he can't stand in robot mode once he's off is due to the gyros being turned off when there's no power. Gyros are usually used to balance things. In dino mode, the tail can act as another leg, so it's easier to support in that position without the gyros.

[@BigJickle]

It cant stand due to the heaviness of the parts and because the servos are looser on Grimlock than on the Rotb prime and Bumblebee

[@illiteratedino]

@@BigJickle Yeah, I forgot about the servos needed to keep it standing. The servos aren't going to work without power.

[@joeseiden4299]

2 things: 1- this is absolutely insane, I wish I could get this 2- you are right, this thing looks near identical to the MP Grimlock

[@pixelprowl-ib7fd]

honestly his auto-transformation surprised me of how those servos can transform him, whilst being able to stand!

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Great review. Thank you! It says something about these robots when the KZbinr reviewers I trust all get a different RoboSen TransFormer character sent to them, and they all say that, yeah, it's cool, but the price is insane.

[@AlvinSoon8888]

This grimlock can be best birthday present for any g1 fans

[@robram1968]

I so surprised about this being released. Made my purchase today, it may be pricey but as Prime once said "No matter the cost". I had to get him to add to my collection.

[@misterdarwin]

Congratulations! Hope you love him!

[@tllgestalt1942]

That;s insane, in just so many ways. Though, if one just wants a big Grimlock, one that can actually pose and stuff in robot mode, you can find upscaled MP Grimlocks for around ~150 dollars, I'm loving my one.

[@dillydraws]

Still sad no decepticons. COMEE ONNNN. Soundwave that plays music and transformers!

[@jacobdobson895]

unlike what people say, on their website it says the voice actually is greg burger who apparently recorded over 150 lines exclusively for this

[@Lukusprime]

I thought the voice actor was Gregg Berger. Idk if it’s a voice modulation thing that they did for the 84 cartoon or if it’s just age, but he’s always sounded notably different when he’s portrayed Grimlock in everything since (PoTP, Devastation, FoC, etc)

[@jedijack0577]

Idk Devastation sounded fine to me maybe I’m miss remembering

[@Lukusprime]

@@jedijack0577 oh I’m not saying he sounded bad at all, just you could tell he sounded a bit different than in the ‘80s

[@anthonyplanzo1082]

Agreed. Even when it is Greg doing the voice in all these newer versions he just sounds different from the G1 cartoon

[@frenchfriedbagel7035]

It’s gotta be age.

[@DarknetDude]

A lot of the old masterpiece figures probably still hold up in terms of engineering and durability, i’m still trying to get me a damn MP 10.

[@DragonClaw-eg6nj]

This is literally perfect. Except for the price and uncertainty of how long these things last. It looks perfect in design, it does everything I would want a Transformer and a dinosaur toy to do. Grimlock is in my top group of favorite Transformers, probably #1. I just don't know what to do with that price. I'd say people should Email the companies telling them that they will lose a lot of money by making the price so high. I'm sure once it is in mass production, it doesn't cost nearly as much as making the original model and it will probably harm them to not have it accessable to most Transformers collectors.

[@kdognicholson24]

I was in crazed awe in how you already have this when it was just announced today, when I realized you got an early prototype

[@NataliaTheia]

9:10 ''Me Grimlock drunk! Me Grimlock need designated driver!''

[@robotsandkaiju]

It's beautiful. I have a couple of these Robosen releases but as much as I love this one I'll wait for the Elite version. Limited Edition. Sure. 🖐️

[@mctankies]

What a time to be alive. Awesome stuff!

[@TheBionicle9000]

I love this! Grimlock's actions are perfect and that transformation looks so cool!

[@Blitzwingsbase]

Hey it’s the same price as trying to get an 86 grimlock

[@ethanielm03]

When I first saw the reveals for this, I nearly cried. It was cool that Robosen started this line of autoconverting Transformers, but I never liked the optimus prime all that much so I didn't have much interest in buying him. Grimlock however, looks glorious! And all I can say is, so much for my college savings... JK! This is still too expensive for me to buy. But maybe if down the road, I have the money for this I might buy it (that is if they're still making this product several years from now)

[@Spedatr0n]

Ain’t no way bro already got him. But holy cow this is awesome

[@cretaceouskook1874]

One of my favorite series is Transformers, one of my favorite characters is Grimlock. This feels like he is really alive! They even gave him Gregg Berger's voice! Too bad it is way too expensive. They need to lower the price. It is going to make them lose money because if more people could buy it, it would add up to a lot more. They even made it Canon that he can fart! That is one of my favorite humor subjects! They did so much right, I'm just disappointed that they aren't making it more realistically affordable.

[@noprobllama9747]

Great review, bonus points for showing the dog reacting to grimlocks transformation.

[@sst4rscr34m]

11:45 i just love how grimlock starts walking like he's shy and unsure of how exactly he needs to walk, so damn cute lmao 😭💘💘💘

[@CHARIZARD1926]

Toy Guy is so cool. Coolest intro ever for a robosen figure. Are they going to make a a Megatron for robosen? Coolest robosen figure ever. Grimlock is the king of robosen. Grimlock is my favorite. I love the detail on it. 1500 dollars? Also you have a Cute Dog.

[@Wayo.]

the engeneering on the servos dampening and balancing must be crazy!!!

[@ZiYT4227]

this came out of no where when i was watching RID 01

[@jamesdashee]

What's funny is ai just saw this video and just saw the reveal on Instagram. Also to answer your question the voice actor for the toy is Gregg Berger. That's why he sounds just like him.

[@loviebrownlow6983]

Wheeljack and Ratchet did an excellent job when creating the dinobots.

[@MrUniq]

I'm really jealous of you this time...this is the real deal. It looks totally like a real toy.

[@godzillaminusonehype]

As a grimlock fanboy, I want this so damn much, hopefuly they make a fall of cybertron version of this

[@Primalproductions-74]

In the promo pics I thought it was him showing off he shiny nails also looks really good

[@RiseKeyk]

US $ conversion to Canadian $ is facts.. I'm still paying off Optimus Prime.. Now I want Grimlock..

Thanks for this test video of Grimlock! You just sold one 😊

[@neshitzme1425]

Dude you should do more reviews with your dad! Its just wholesome 😆

[@andrews4717]

Can’t wait for ribose Soundwave. Hope they make one with a Bluetooth feature

[@adieognira9709]

I wish they could add a feature where ChatGPT can actually act as an AI for it using natural language detection. That would be awesome and that the Bot can answer on its own.

[@elcuchitrilgaming5207]

Next Megátron 🤔

[@ptonfire1]

It's WORTH IT!!!!

[@arcdecibel9986]

Dude! That's fucking amazing! We have Transformers that transform now! I would have died for these as a kid, so to save my inner child I'll have to drop the cash on these. At the expense of my adult self, of course. This thing costs, like, four and half days' pay.

[@Horton3DPrinting]

Damn they got that to you fast, wasn't it like just released?

[@funken079]

It is really cool, gotta give them credit to make a transformer that transforms and talks.

[@jakejager]

I would absolutely own one of these if I had the disposable income for it...

[@TheBlackShinigami]

Idk why… but now I REALLY want them to do Soundwave and Beast Wars Megatron!

[@dragonslairproductions5138]

I completely forgot that you were posting today, as well as double posting!

[@rodneylove8027]

$1500.00 FUCKING DOLLARS!!!??? Totally worth it!😁 I won't buy but I understand others will.

[@mojangmonkey3330]

I don't care if someone else has noticed it. It is side hurting levels of funny that you need to pick grimlock up like a duck.

[@NickBartolo]

I have serious concerns about the durability of the servos in these toys.

[@bunnyfreakz]

They actually sell a warranty program.

[@joemakesmodels6640]

Looks like a 1 to 1 of the masterpiece mold. (That’s a good thing)

[@tllgestalt1942]

The chest doesn't move (I think) and the legs transform differently, but otherwise the overall mould itself is the exact same. Though, Grimlock's transformation hasn't really changed that much since G1 at all, and he's basically perfected at this point.

[@Freefall347]

Man, I absolutely love the look of this thing in both modes, but yeesh, that price. I mean, that 4ft Fort Max Fans Toys is supposedly coming out with might cost less than this.

[@nero8395]

Awesome review that grimlock is so awesome especially that fart command. I have to ask when are you going to make a review for tarn?

[@chadderbug7587]

Nope, that sounds like Greg Berger. He voiced Ripto again in the Spyro reignited trilogy and, judging by this video, that sounds like him! Yea, it doesn't sound like Grimlock that much but it has been almost 40 years since he first played our big shiny dino boi.

[@Dinowrestler]

Thank God I got my studio series grimlock. $1700US in Canadian dollars = wife leaving me.

[@misterdarwin]

To me the computer controlled transformations and animations are neat gimmicks that would lose their novelty quickly, leaving me with a $1500 shelfwarmer (if I could afford it*). I'd much rather buy a MP Grimlock, KO MP Grimlock, Giga Power Grimlock, or FT Grimlock for 1/4 the price or less**. *OK, I technically could afford it if I bought next to no toys for a year. ** I do own both the MP Grimlock (TRU version) and GigaPower Superator/Grimlock. I recommend both.

[@cjfink5382]

Me Grimlock pressing charges for you pressing Grimlock pee pee button. Me no like that 😂😂😂

[@6ofwrev704]

Oh it's definitely worth it.

[@electrolytes]

These Robosen figures are amazing, but I guess it remains to be seen how long they can hold up with those servos/motors.

[@Getloose360]

Like all things if it isn't abused and taken care of it should be fine. No issues with my Prime so far.

[@mwo79]

Im surprised you got one over Emgo who has a bigger audience. Not staying you shouldn't have gotten him, but Emgo should have a well.

[@Holy_Wraith]

I have severe tinnitus and wondering if the motors and servos would be comfortable for me when I'm reading in my living room, and if so I think the $1,500 investment would be worth it.

[@rob5792]

It's adorable.

[@WEAK_EGOLIFTER]

Seeing his dad just acsided as him is just amazing

[@josefrootgum]

I have the robosen flagship optimus. I love it, but this grimlock is miles better. Not sure if I can afford another crazy purchase though.

[@robertwilliams7842]

I'm getting him once he Get's in $1,000 price range Or some one gets tired of their version.

[@DaveItYourselfChannel]

Would've been nice to see them supply a back grabber stand of some sort or something to allow for displaying G in robot mode.

[@ThatToyGuy]

Yeah, especially since this is the limited edition one it would have been cool to throw in as a bonus

[@lisaroberts8556]

[@xXSoulGeoXx]

The Transformers Statues are the ones more closes to the price of this Grimlock And I seen statues with this price being so big its like one of those you see when you go in Theaters

[@jurassith2]

C'mon Robosen, you'll have to do a Decepticon eventually....

[@tardiscommand1812]

I know everyone loves them, and all the expensive toys do it, but enough with the expensive boxes. Yes it’s cool when you get it. But then you have to store some huge box that you’ll never open again. Would cut so much off the price it would allow more to get it

[@GrumpyNCO]

MP01 is underrated. Bring back the mold hasbro.

[@animatedCHUG]

For the price, I would rather track down the SS86 figure or a MP scale version. I don't get the hype for Robosen products, sure they transform automatically but you can't do anything fun with them since they can't be handled. That's the whole point of Transformers, theyre meant to be puzzles but Robosen went and did this instead. Sure it's kinda impressive but I'm confident it could've been made way sooner.

[@rocketbilly]

Engineering 101, the more moving parts, the quicker it is to break. It's an expensive shelf warmer, but hey, at least the company sells a warranty program for it :v
