Yes, this is a reupload. Had to do a re-edit and feel free to make fun of the people who miss this pinned comment despite it being right under where you write your comments LOL! Enjoy :)

[@akmalfakhruddin7285]

Gladly i guess?

[@ignitedmotion5807]

I was just about to go into an identity crisis about what life is because of this literal deja vu dear God XD

How do people (including myself) miss that?

[@heavy5013]

Huh, missed it the first time then.

[@MosheMaserati]

@@ignitedmotion5807 right?

[@TheSpicyOreo]

Although I’m disappointed he’s not larger than blackout, those hands tho are such an improvement

[@imteebee]

his vehicle mode is also inaccurate

[@DominatorPlayer]

@@imteebee Grindor’s vehicle mode is supposed to be the CH-53E Stallion instead of BlackOut’s MH-53 Pavelow.

[@mvp305ajh]

Hasbro was saving money by not doing a complete retool, of course. Wish they did to make it more screen accurate (including more "rustiness") but there's the weijiang oversize Blackout which I'm sure compensates well enough for screen accurate Grindor.

[@outrundoubtrun-lemonadeart682]

@@mvp305ajh that reason still doesnt excuse them from being lazy and simply just giving it super stallion livery. aside from the hands, they couldve just done some remolding with the blades, panels, nose and stabilizer and thats basically it.

[@johnzachariahg]

Emgo, your personality shines in these videos. Collecting these figures are more fun because your enthusiasm is so contagious!

[@blackkyurem1826]

Honestly makes me kinda sad again, seeing Grindor having a figure, for nostalgia reasons. I played a lot of Transformers ROTF multiplayer on the Console, for many years, and Grindor was basically my main, all the way till the servers shutted down last year. Now I do own the SS Blackout, but I am considering of buying Grindor just for that nostalgia... yet 50$ is still 50$...

[@christophergrant3596]

What did you play TF2 on?

[@blackkyurem1826]

@@christophergrant3596 Xbox 360

[@weaponizertank6245]

I played ROTF on ps3 but they clossed the online servers! :(

[@cobratron415]

played on ps3 and 360 and was my most played shooter that gen...mained long haul, grindor but used pretty much everyone

[@blackkyurem1826]

@@cobratron415 Man, Long Haul was addicting, it's not everyday the tank character, with rapid fire grenades, is also the medic.

[@HelenaSan425]

The forest battle is by far the best fight scene in transformers movie's history

[@marcesteban8694]

Agreed

[@heavy5013]

Second best. I put the Optimus vs Megatron fight from the G1 movie above this. Just like it better.

[@ethanmoua49]

wrong it was optimus vs megatron

[@cosmosenjoyer8653]

I honestly think the Forest Fight is just the best fight scene in Movie History!

[@springsaber]

No prime v megs

[@megaoverlordx9417]

They gave him proper hand articulation? Alright Hasbro, I wasn't going to buy this guy at first (I have Studio Series Blackout), but because he actually has hands now I'll get him

[@wonderfulwalrus5715]

Grindor apparently is a whole different character he's even ten foot taller than blackout

[@Jabbbbbbbbbbb]

Correction, More than 15

[@wonderfulwalrus5715]

@@Jabbbbbbbbbbb thank u. He also sports a different helicopter mode and is more rustier than blackout

[@debatenothing5676]

I think its 17 feet exactly

[@mvp305ajh]

Correct.

[@thiccboisincorporated7136]

Blackout and Grindor are the same characters, he was revived alongside Megatron when they used the Allspark shard. The only reason Grindor is bigger with a different Alt mode is because the Helicopter they used for Blackout had just been retired from service, and I don’t believe they were able to get ahold of one so they switched to a newer, slightly larger model.

[@thebossoftoys]

fun fact blackout turns into a MH-53 Pave Low while grindor turns into a CH-53E Super Stallion

[@firesonic1010]

They fixed the rotor!!! One of the major complaints of the original Blackout figure was that the rotor was too tight, and didn't spin well, and here with Grindor, they finally fixed it!!

[@jacobolson6608]

"Grow a pair of ball bearings and lets go"-megatron

[@TyphonMar]

I bought this initially for Ravage and the new hands, but he's honestly grown on me.

[@Time_Fire199]

As far as the figures themselves are concerned, Grindor has much nicer colors than Blackout. He looks way more eye-catching.

[@metroplexgrimlock7089]

1. The head is easy to take off. Before you fold up the "motor", you will see a screw on the back of his head. You have to approach it at an angle to get over the windshield piece. The face plate can come off easily if you use the "chin" and horns for leverage. As for the hands, I can't exactly tell you. 2. The engine and croch-plate bother me. It just looks half finished.

[@emgo316]

I know how to do it lol, but thanks anyway.

[@alandrak3227]

Hasbro is so smart "you want Ravage to display him with Soundwave and Laserbeak,you have to buy another Blackout"

[@nathanlorion3979]

Awesome vid! Grindor/Blackout is my favorite Transformer hands down. It’s sad the figure doesn’t come with an additional gun attachment on his arm like in the movies

[@gyaztar578]

I come back to this channel after a few years and I like to see that these things don’t change

[@BradDeamer]

Missed out on the original release of Blackout, so I'm definitely snagging this guy as his stand-in. Hopefully the rust stuff isn't hard to get off lol

[@connorholland4539]

If you find a safe way to do it without taking the tampographs off, let me know

[@younglinc9950]

“Grow a pair of bearings” - Megatron

[@christophergrant3596]

I did miss out on Blackout and I do need to complete the Forest Battle line up...this figure is a definite YES for me!

[@Spartan-ty2sc]

I really like this channel. It's like a nostalgia trip in each episode.

[@m.e.c.hn.e.s.t4757]

1:30 - "Get to da choppa".... Can you imagine if this guy or Blackout were voiced by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movies?😍

[@lorenzolo9228]

it's like superheroes wearing boxers and they can't tell that it's superman or clark kent. same goes with blackout and put a little magical brown rust and it's Grindor. Chemical X by professor

[@christiantaylor3446]

Glad I found this guy in store. It’s definitely grown on me.

“Need parts! Kill the little one.” Dr.Examinist.

*looks at the paintjob on Grindor* Someone's been at the Chicken Vindaloo again. :P Been a while since i've seen any ROTF stuff.

[@Gojirawars03]

Saw this figure on sale. He was _half off._ Yes, I know where the door is…

[@Viscid149]

I thought the studio series was supposed to be accurate, grindors an mh-53 super stallion, he's larger than blackout

[@Bilbur]

Poor Grindor was only bought to be an organ donor. Definite skip for me

[@TheUnknownPrime]

The JTI showed up in my subscription list, but not this vid, had to follow the link in the JTI's description. Dunno if that was intentional or algorithm weirdness...

[@emgo316]

algorithm weirdness. this site is broken.

[@SpartanDara]

yup, same for me

[@johnnydoedoe400]

This is one of the best transformers in the world. It looks BA in both modes. The details, the materials, the complexity of transformation are all A-1 for a main line release. Out of all the movie series, grindor is hands down one of the best. Hasbro and Takara gave us our money's worth.

[@companylovesmisery1463]

Your comment about him being kept for parts made me think of Megatron's resurrection in RotF. "Need parts... kill ze giant one!"

[@YamiYugi95]

you mean "kill ze little one"?

[@companylovesmisery1463]

Yes, but... giant for the giant figure.

[@ShavayD]

Same!

[@DarkPrincess777]

I missed out on blackout but i can't wait to get grindor tomorrow he looks awseome!!!

[@robertdelgadocapetillo8684]

Hey Emgo loving the new thumbnails on your vids.

[@emgo316]

thank you very much! :)

[@x-wingflyboy8177]

Had this arrive today, and seeing as I missed out on Blackout, yeah he's a good alternative. Looks really nice in the box and bigger than I thought. The wei jiang KO is too expensive so went for this

[@maximaldinotrap]

@emgo316, Grindor is a Super Stallion. It is basically the same thing as a Pave Low just a little bigger. It is used by the Marines.

[@PhoenixFyre]

It's not partsforming if it's for weapons.

[@damon6768]

looks like a Blackout: Detailed Edition

[@justpeach07]

Thats basically just grindor with extra steps

[@ianmiller23170]

I can’t wait for the transformers studio series revenge of the fallen leader class grindor with ravage and I can’t wait for it to come out in stores 🏬

[@wonderfulwalrus5715]

"Fighting optimus prime proves to be a headache for grindor" I found that hilarious

[@SwedishSeacon]

I think Emgo is slowly becoming Dr. Frankenstein if the head and hand transplant will work

[@eyywannn8601]

Me watching this again full well knowing the transformation is the same. Also curious, if Grindor didn’t have the rust, would you have kept him as Blackout?

[@emgo316]

Nope

[@anirudhnair__4034]

Emgo the saviour 💫💥

[@tf_cybertron]

"We do need to remove this section right here.... WHAT PARTSFORMING??!!... Shhh" LOL It always makes me laugh😂😂😂

[@theartofcollecting2006]

Wish he was taller and bigger but the big thing I wish he had was a head that could split in half, I know hasbro probably would not have done that but it would have been nice. I will get this for completion and Ravage, $50 for a ravage pretty much.

[@bdao1593]

Blackout now has an upgrade kit and actually, Grindor can surely receive an upgrade kit from his body because he now includes the Ravage mini figure.

[@just_decibelio4605]

I feel they did better with Grindor Aside from the slight remold, the Paint is amazing

[@coolerreviews6580]

I hate that he’s just as big as blackout,even tho he dwarfs him

[@Magmafrost13]

Just saw this figure for the first time in stores today. 7 god damn months it took to show up here. Guess I should give up hope that Legacy figures will show up here any time soon. Why does Hasbro hate Australia so much?

[@pawarl.o.s.881]

Let's be honest. Micheal Bay probably forgot he killed Blackout in the first movie.

[@TheRisingStorm316]

My only complaint is I can’t seem to get the panels on the top of the helicopter mode to fit right, they don’t want to clip or peg in properly. That and his leg joints are *SUPER TIGHT.* The joint just below the thigh came off the mushroom peg, specifically. I was obviously able to reattach it :D

[@bmeksyk]

Grinder learned from the best "repurposer"... ALPHA BRAVO

[@anirudhnair__4034]

Emgo : need parts ... Kill the little one ( head and hand transplant)

[@MaksimT]

Thank you for this video.

[@graye437]

transforming him into robot mode is such a pain in the butt. i just got him, that’s why i’m referring to the video. a great video, nonetheless!

[@leftygurl]

tbh i might just get this guy and pretend he’s blackout, because, like… they are the same.

[@clutchrl8696]

I missed out on blackout, so this is my stand-in. Love this figure

[@HamdimusPrime]

Finally it got reuploaded!

One of the many who learned the hard way not to face off against Prime.

"Face off" lmao

they really put the "face off" into it

[@crispyreddread8826]

I like how he knows some German words

[@emgo316]

I do?

[@crispyreddread8826]

@@emgo316 well, at least I understood them like German words. You didn't say rust or dirt. U said "Schmutz", right? So, that's the German word for "dirt" . 😅 Or maybe I just misheard it. I think I heard some in your other vids too. Btw love your reviews

[@emgo316]

oh, I didn't even know schmutz was a German word. you learn something new every day LOL

[@jamesonrobins-blackwell4910]

I found him at Walmart and I missed out on blackout so I waited 3 years for him

[@allenusison3124]

I want to point this out, why not store Ravage on Scavenger's cockpit? In the movie, he was basically an alternative weapon so that they can hold Sam's parents hostage. That worked.

[@SomewhereElseForSomethingElse]

Hey EMiGO, is the MST Menasor review coming out soon, or will still take a while? Can't wait to hear your thoughts on that.

[@kevinhayes4754]

Love the vids Emgo keep it up man

[@jordancastillo5251]

I'm kinda annoyed that we could have gotten a Blackout with wrist swivels from the beginning

[@thebadhandwriting3216]

Nice video Emgo as always! I hope they make studio series reissues lol, we know there are many figures that need some fixing lol*

[@madarauchiha919]

To be fair in the movie grinder was basically just blackout. As a kid I thought they were the same character

[@andreyofdoom]

My thoughts exactly on the hand and head transplant. The ugly brown poo smears and the darker gray limbs actually make you notice the details less...

[@steamroddsroundhouse2080]

I'm just getting him and calling it Blackout,

[@freakazonestudios7979]

Good luck with your hand and head transplant I hope it works 👍😁👍

[@Windrazor8403]

I just picked him up yesterday at Walmart with some 86 movie slag and I love em both

[@erikjefferies6859]

Hey bud I was just re-watching this and I noticed when you pulled out the studio series Soundwave car version he had a gun in his hand, where did you get that from?

[@mahmoudelomari6107]

Fun fact, Emgo, Grindor is Blackout, but Blackout chose a new helicopter when he was revived with the shard like Barricade, Bonecrusher and Megatron, and Blackout changed his name to Grindor, give himself a little change, I mean, people do that too, am I not correct? Same as Transformers

[@000Mental000]

They both look nice and all but I have Hide Shadow so I'm good.

[@johnnytesttodoslosseries2047]

Grindor Como Furia Nocturna

[@mikoajryniak2644]

Missed opportunity, You could compare them with oversized Wei Jiang Blackout

[@Sigma.974]

You missed the peekaboo thing where if you press the bottom of the cab his head pops up

[@ghostphoenix666]

Holy crap, OK so I just fact checked the differences in length and height of both helicopters IRL and the one Grindor is of his 11 feet longer and 2 feet taller than the Pavelow that Blackout is 🤯. So Ngl it actually makes total sense y he’s significantly taller in ROTF

[@ClearanceCollector]

Imagine Masterpiece of him.

[@VK-fm4qv]

When I began watching this video it only had 2 views but already had 6 comments, or is a incredible video that can break the laws, or youtube it's broken.

[@Koishikomeiji6]

My Grindor has frickin tabbing issues when I tried to transform him to a helicopter

[@blayneb.4110]

How'd you get your Grindor to stay together, mine doesn't want to stay together.

[@twifightsparkill]

I will have this. I never saw RotF, but it's still my chopper boi. I have Blackout and the giant version? Why stop now? I'll also likely get the Masterpiece too. ♥️

[@Wreckingballblu]

Not sure if it's just my copy, but mine doesn't like to stand, the knees just seem to buckle under his weight.

[@lisashoneyistim]

Same!!

[@SaiyanPoy]

My propellers don’t spin that well. That sucks

[@sideswipelucas4941]

Just picked him up today at Walmart and at first glimpse I thought it was blackout

[@EthanBurton]

My attachment for the Bayformers characters mostly comes from the video games. I really liked Grindor in the Xbox and Ds version of TF ROTF The Game.

[@youtuber9566]

I always thought Blackout and Grindor were twins.

[@tylar_the_flame597]

I think he looks like blackout with a little bit of the rust, aka the rust like color, is probably because he could've been brought back with Meagtron with the left over parts of scrapmetal, I'm pretty sure thats who they got parts from.

[@ryanjeskie7641]

I bought this figure off of ebay for $55 and I just got him today. He is the most frustrating transformer I've ever handled in my life!!! Nothing tabs in, the joints are loose, and he will NOT stay together. After handling him, I wanted to throw him across the room! I pray that this is only my copy of the figure that has these problems and not other people's copies.

[@oddy5967]

You probably got a knock off version, or it was used.

[@Chosenhorse2]

The propellers have gotten your way 7 times during transformation incase you want to know!

[@LuptopiaFinder]

This grindor face suppose like battle damage. Like in the movie..one eye read and one eye shut down. Or any scratch in the Body of Grindor there.👍👍👍

[@deanofox1183]

Just started watching because I just started collecting recently and I don’t have blackout but I do have grindor and he is great but if I had both i would probably just focus on blackout

[@jakobmiller3330]

I wonder if Studio Series is going to do Wheeljack.

[@thomaselliott5347]

Dark of the Moon Wheeljack/Que or Bumblebee Wheeljack?

[@lesserark2758]

It’s actually been proven the grind or and black out are the same because when blackout was destroyed in the first movie he was dumped where Megatron was and offscreen somewhere it’s most likely that they sacrificed another useless decepticon to bring back blackout who renamed as grind door also grindor has a lot of rust from being underwater

[@Earthdestroyers99]

Funny how Grindor has darker colors than BLACKout

[@derekcaceres2795]

If you transplant him, show how you did it!!

[@va3533]

I bet there gonna make bonecrucher from revenge of the fallen that only appeared in 1 scene

[@angelmenjivar9706]

What are your thoughts on the transformes authentics line?

[@notrod0918]

Never really cared about grindor too. But since I never got the blackout. I might have to get this and just remove the poo.

[@alexisislas-gonzalez5991]

You neglected to mentioned that he gets a headache form Optimus prime ripping his face
