@peace4myheart7 ай бұрын
Just got mine. I will have to agree that Magic Square's Grimlock IS the most cartoon accurate in both modes. However, transformation is not fun as always and the design for the hip joints in dino mode or shoulder joints in robot mode are very badly designed. They become loose and pops out so easily. In dino mode, they can make the legs somewhat unstable. I have both Newage and MS and will have to say that Newage wins on transformation and built and material quality. MS wins on cartoon accuracy.

Oh my God! The legs actually have an intuitive, easy transformation. This is not the Magic Square I know and love. 😋 Just kidding. It’s nice to have an MS bot that doesn’t take 20 minutes to transform every now and then. Well done. The only thing that I would change would be to swap the red for blue Dino eyes, but that’s nitpicking. Looks like a stellar release. Looking forward to the rest of the Dinobots.

You can swap them, similar to the built-in swap feature with newage's grimlock

@@OptimusLegends Aww, thank you! By the way, I'm a bit concerned about the slider joints on the arms. Would they be sturdy enough so as to support the dino mode in the long term? It doesn't look like they have any locking points except for the rails themselves.

This MS Grimlock beats NEWAGE'S 'Ymir' hands down. The inner lower legs of Ymir in robot mode are a hot mess.
@jasonswitzer17488 ай бұрын
Meh… I’m half on board with your assessment. The legs on the NA version are a kibblely mess in bot mode, but it has more tail articulation. It really comes down to proportions (as always when comparing NA and MS figures). Do you want a more tall/slender appearance for both mode or a more roided out/thick appearance? That’s all just a matter of preference. I’m lucky enough to have both, but I generally skew more NA. That said, if an MS bot is killer, I’ll get it. I’m probably going to skip the MS dinobots, but I have their Bruticus, several Optimus Primes (v1 and v2) and a few others. I skip the ones that look like too much if a headache to transform (looking at you, Megatron). If you get this guy, enjoy him!

I'm very disappointed by the lack of tail articulation. Usually MS beats Newage when it comes to articulation. Feels like everyone screws up Grimlock in some small ways. The SS86 is missing front teeth, has giant screw holes on his dino face, and attached a boat to Grimlock instead of a tail. Newage made their Grimlock robot mode so skinny and awkward. To be fair, the lack of tail articulation isn't the worst, but this could have been the perfect Grimlock for me.

This new deco doesn't make sense to me at all. That's coming from a big MS fan and collector. Silver/metallic pants and blue painted windows? What is MS trying to show, toy/toon mix? Why not a premium painted version like the latest Trailblazer or Ironhide in straight toon or straight toy deco?

Looks really nice - but has thrice as many transformation steps as New Age. And all those interlocking panels... For me personally - the look is comparable (minus the paint), and New Age's engineering is so much more enjoyable.

That's a personal preference. I like the MS engineering more than NA's version. The MS figure (bot and dino) are also cleaner. It's all personal preference.
