It’s odd to see Ravage packed in with Grindor. I think the paint could’ve been done better for Ravage, but it’s nice to see them continuing to flesh out the rosters for the films. Grindor isn’t too bad a figure, and he completes the lineup to recreate one of the greatest scenes I ever saw as a kid in the theater. Maybe there’ll be an upgrade kit or something where Prime can get his hooks and there could be an option to give Grindor a “splitting” headache, eh?

[@AmbroseP1864]

I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING

[@AmbroseP1864]

Literally

[@kylesinkovich8332]

There actually is a upgrade kit for Prime's hooks, it comes with an axe and a ion blaster. I found it on eBay

[@PK-Radio]

The fact that Grindor’s description on the box is that fighting prime turned out to be a headache cuz prime split his head in half is golden Like his one defining scene was his headsplitting so that’s what they put on the box

[@ltranc]

I believe the "rust" detailing is actually meant to be dirt and earth on Grindor, as in the forest fight they were ripping out trees and kicking up dirt. And a fun fact, Grindor's vehicle mode, the CH-53 has 7 rotor blades but his CG model, and as a result the toy, only have 6 due to just being Blackout.

[@Thatguyfromsomewhere225]

Or it could be bcz this IS blackout who've been affected by the shard and was reborn by using other scraps of the decepticons who died

As someone who unfortunately passed on Blackout, I definitely will get this guy! And it wasn’t adult PVP that made me want this figure, it was PVP being a kid.

[@Optimusprime-ys3kb]

Kid???

[@AmbroseP1864]

For those complaining about the height difference, if he hasnt offered this option in the video (only 6:29 mins in) compress both blackout and grindors legs fully. Then extend blackouts by 1 or 2 clicks, depending on preference, then extend grindors 3-4 clicks. When side by side, the height difference will be noticable

[@SirGrimLockSmithVIII]

Oh shit they gave him actual wrists this time. Noice.

[@FYM-Creeper]

Shame that some kid decided to throw my grindor at a wall and broke his foot and face

[@Ztinkyy]

Beautiful figure, beautiful engineering. I have no idea how the presenter can convert Grindor so quickly. With the instructions, it took me around 45 minutes or so, of course being careful not to break anything, although the construction is strong enough where you don’t really have to worry. I couldn’t have wasted more time trying to figure out where to rotate the legs on my own to close the tail section, that was probably the worst part. This is actually why I came looking for the video. Also the engine cover on the roof doesn’t exactly hold together as well as I had hoped.

[@ronindallon367]

I can’t wait to get Grindor. I missed out on Blackout so there’s no chance I’m missing out on Grindor. Can’t wait for the release! He looks so good!! 🤩

[@ballisticblocker9163]

Kind of disappointed he isn’t bigger. In the movie he is so it really messes with their accurate robot scale philosophy.

[@MellowisDead]

I think it’s because they didn’t want to add in commander class into SS

[@ltranc]

Scavenger already broke that philosophy too, hell the Constructicons are pretty wonky when scaling with each other. Long Haul’s meant to be the tallest non-Scavenger constructicon, 7 feet taller than Rampage, but SS Long Haul is shorter than SS Rampage.

[@ballisticblocker9163]

This is an awesome figure, I missed out on the original blackout release and now anytime I try to find him he’s like $184.37 and because grindor is new he’ll be the default leader class price(hopefully). So this will be my chance to get a version of him.

[@xayln786]

Yea facts they’re so expensive

[@PK-Radio]

This guy is perfect, Grindor was always my favorite decepticon and they didn’t just make a figure of him they improved upon the blackout design to make Grindor even better and now the forest battle can be complete. My only complaint is the clunky weapon with the tail propeller I think they could’ve made that better, Also I think it’s funny how his box description is just how he died

[@ezioauditore1300]

I think Grindor IS actually Blackout resurrrected. Hear me out. When the Decepticons dropped down there to revive Megatron there were 5 signals. Then they killed one of them and revived Megatron. Should still be 5. I always thought it was Ravage but he is too small. When they came up with Megatron it was 6 signals. And we know Megatron and Blackout were thrown in the sea around the same spot. Thats why Grindor has all that rust on him. He was under the sea for 2 years :)) That was Blackout resurrected.

I know this might be a year later but I made a custom ravage where I got two grindors that were on sale for only $30 dollars for both so I got one of the ravages cut his head off, I then drilled a hole and make a custom spinal cord with a little metal wire to use as the whip that bumblebee used to hit ravage and got one of the grindors and made a custom head being torn apart for either stop motion or diorama and it look pretty good. I made it where it could click together so I can take it apart and connect it together with ease.
