Darkraes743 Just goes to show that the potential for what Grimlock can be like is there, and how that full potential can only be realized by revisiting the past. He could be that goofy and lovable Dinobot from the 80's, or he can be the badass in the video above.
In the Transformers G1 Guide, Grimlock is stated as this "A warmonger that fights with the Autobots and an incredibly powerful warrior! Many Decepticons told stories about Grimlock, most of how they saw him rip apart their friends right in front of them, or how they fought and lived to tell the tale!"
I love how they make Grimlock an 'idiot' but also a badass. when I heard him say 'nothing feels right. hard to think. what has soundwave done to me?' you get that oh shit moment realizing that soundwave tortured the hell out of him for his own wants.
And if you read the comic, he is still smart as hell when he lead a group of 4 to break the shit out of a decepticon prison after the war on cybertron :v
One of my most favorite character in the transformers history, the god of destruction, the RAGE master, the leader of the Dinobots, nicknamed the Flame Train....................................."GRIMLOCK"!!!!
14:56 I wonder what this Decepticon was thinking: “Yeah, I can totally take on Grimlock, he’s only of the most physically powerful and dangerous transformers currently alive. What could go wrong?”
The developers opted to make Grimlock closer to his much more interesting comic and tech specs personality; arrogant, ruthless, yet noble. Grimlock in the comics is easily the most complex character in the Autobot ranks, he has his own moral code and does not take orders, and is more ruthless than many Decepticons.
I'll be honest: I never saw Gregg Berger as G1 Grimlock, but I can't imagine anyone else voicing him. To me, Berger is what Peter Cullen is to Optimus and Frank Welker is to Megatron/Galvatron. (also, a deep, growling delivery like this *can't* be easy on their vocal chords)
I didn't notice until my rewatch of this mission today, that at 15:06 one of the cons pushes his buddy down to the ground. Straight up hoping that sacrificing him would save his own life
I love how scared some of the Decepticons are of Grimlock, with one screaming about not wanting to die, and another hiding behind his friend. I also love how brutal and merciless Grimlock is, especially at 16:29 with how many times he stabs the Decepticon in such a brutal way.
Grimlock is smart in the Marvel UK and War Within comics. In those he's a millitant warrior who feels Optimus' compassion is a weakness.. He's ruthless and despises most of the Autobots, but also the only person who matches Optimus in terms of leadership and courage. His comic book characterisation is close to his toy bio. His motto is "Among the winners, there is no room for the weak."
They really upped their game since WFC. Not just in terms of art direction and dialogue, but also the fact that every character has a personal gimmick and each level has a laser-focused design to utilize that gimmick to the max Such a fun game, man, it's even better than I remembered it as a kid The devs understood transformers better than anyone
kiddfaz The dino bots were fine in that movie imo. It actually made plenty of sense for him not to talk.I think it was explained they couldn't connect to learn about earths languages. Plus, i think we will get to that point later in the trio logy. . Im not sure if the sword was a significant enough part of his character for him to need it. Kind of the same with movie optimus replacing the traditional axe with a sword. Him being an over grone horse works with all the drones he killed.He didn't feel like a mount, he felt like a partner to me personally. Honestly he did play a pretty big part as the dinobots were the only reason they won that battle. I liked that in comparison with optimus here, grimlock worked with movie optmius and allowed him to ride him because of a show of unwavering strength. Its a triology, its only the set up for whats to come. Optimus telling him the dinobots were free from his control also added a since of honor that grimlock will be bound to remember later. I have a feeling that the dinobots and grimlock will become more like they are in here. Plus, i like how all the dino bots in general were freaking massive even in comparison to them here. I liked the idea of them being ancient warriors as well, it works. Age of extinction sucks ass, but i think they got most things right when the bots were on the screen. And Mark As Cade wasn't too bad either
Making the dinobots random ancient warriors was wrong to begin with. They were always Autobots. And this is twice now that Michael Bay has made Optimus sooooo over powered that he could beat on an ancient transformer twice his size and strength without trying. In the comics and the shows, Grimlock was more then a match for Optimus. Grimlock was able to go blow for blow with Bruticus and Devistator but can just get his ass handed to him by Optimus in the movie? Grimlock would also never just bow down and follow orders from Optimus. Michael Bay changes around waaaay to much crap. From a movie stand point, yes it's a good movie, but from a true Transformers fan, every movie after the first one is a huge let down. And don't get me started on that crap with "Galvatron."
At first I was kinda off-put by Grimlock speaking in complete sentences... BUUUT I've kinda gotten used to it. I mean, if they can have Hulk talking in complete sentences, I don't see why they can't do the same with Grimmy.
Tbh I prefer it. This incarnation isn't a complete idiot like in G1. In fact he's a leader much like optimus, a far more aggressive and violent one, but a leader nonetheless and one that very clearly cares a lot about his team.
I would have him as leader of the Wreckers; his style of combat definitely fits. The Wreckers of course tend not to like someone uptight being in command of them, but Grimlock would unleash them like the houds of hell
Anthony Clay I know it’s been a few years since you wrote this but Grimlock caused issues for all Decepticons while Autobots were just planning on a place regroup and prepare retake their home world shortly afterward.
I like how this game took one of the more goofy aspects of the original Grimlock in how his mind was built to be simple and how it effected his speech even and turned it into a more tragic part of him being a result of Shockwave’s experimentation. He’s not dumb, he just literally can’t think properly anymore after being lobotomized essentially. On top of that I like how Grimlock gets more savage the longer the level goes on. His design here is perfect, they really captured the idea of him being the Autobot’s powerhouse, and in gameplay this was one of the most fun parts of the game with the melee fighting system. I think it ended up being the basis for the Deadpool game since that was also High Moon.
Man i love this game sooooo much. Thanks to FOC i started to realy like the Dinobots and especially Grimlock. It was just EPIC to play as him, especially in his T-Rex Mode *_*. I would LOVE to see Grimlock in one of the real movies. Come on Bay!! Give us the big, bad Dinosaur....and less stupid humans :P
One thing I found weird is why did they make Swoop sound like he is from the Bronx? Not that it is a bad thing but a huge step back from Swoop's third person speech from the animated series.
transformers fans we must rise up we must stop this and bring back the servers. we will fight and we will win. We cant let actvion and highmoon choose whether we’re happy or not I know you’re just game got us all through some tough times but they have taken it away they have chosen their side they stand by their morals but we standby ours we must fight we must WIN!
You know, I love FoC Grimlock in general - and would love him more if his and his fellow Dinobots' speech patterns are limited to a system damaged and glitchy _"M3 #### Gr1ml0ck #### munch D3c3p71c0n m3t4l!"_
This level in a nutshell: here is Grimlock, have fun
“Me Grimlock KILL YOU ALL!” 😆

@Jonanthony Hernandezit barely resembles grimlock. When I first saw him I'm pretty sure everyone thought who is this
@Jonanthony Hernandez Also, RID Grimlock and Foc Grimlock are in the same continuity.

To this day the Autobots wonder why he’s on there side
Meanwhile on the autobot ship: "Tell more stories kup! Me grimlock love war stories!"
Looks about right to me.
@@FabledHeroes3351 more like they'd be thankfull he's on their side
Megatron: I have an army, turrets, spies, insects, warriors, and titans! Optimus: We have Grimlock......
Megs has Bruticus tho.
Of course, Optimus has Metroplex for a while.
Isn't that the avengers references!?
@@ronaldpagar6513 Duh.
Autobot Andjela:Yeah Optimus I Know But Still Megatron Has Full Of His Army And Also Bruticus Im With Ya!
Grimlock: Did you hear coffin music?
Shockwave: what music?

Soundwave? You mean Shockwave
Yes thank you. My bad lol
Redbeast13 he wasn't dumb, just clearly more anger than brain. Gregg Berger got to make Grimlock a badass at last.
AtticWarrior1994 exactly you can tell he was an intelligent officer before shockwave experimented on him
And if you read the comic, he is still smart as hell when he lead a group of 4 to break the shit out of a decepticon prison after the war on cybertron :v
"Subject prone to violent outbursts."
Um...ya think?

yes...I gave Grimlock the nickname "Flame Train"!
Lol
BEHOLD!!! THE SUCCESSOR OF UNICRONS JUST MORE BADASS!!!

Yup
Starscream: 13:58. "I will set you free" 14:05. "I can help you". Well, he did help Grimlock get free.
“98.7 percent of your redesign is dedicated to the total destruction of your enemy.”
“Lucky you...”
Grimlock in G1: “Me Grimlock no bozo; me king!”
Grimlock in Fall of Cybertron: *_”I AM DEATH, & I AM PISSED.”_*
I didn't notice until my rewatch of this mission today, that at 15:06 one of the cons pushes his buddy down to the ground. Straight up hoping that sacrificing him would save his own life
It could also be a "tripping the stupid person in the zombie apocalypse to buy yourself more time to escape" thing
Damn this game is ahead of it's time, the art direction still holds up to this day.
Fall of Cybertron Grimlock is my favorite version of the character to date.
Once again, nobody likes starscream
EsechavaHD We've got an endless supply of other Seekers, like Skywarp! He can teleport!
starscream is actually one of my favorite decepticons
The idiot always screws over the decepticons
Starscream: “Hm, I want this guy to listen to me...”
Also Starscream: “You’re stupid! Pathetic!”

"The Lightning Strike Coalition" was the Autobot faction Grimlock led in the War Within comics.

The devs understood transformers better than anyone
14:54 "containment cell 1G" is that about Gen 1 or am I overthinking things?
No
I had to come watch this after the shit they pulled in transformers 4.......sigh.
Yea I just watched it, Huge let down
Other than the bullshit where optimus whooped his ass he wasn't dat bad
He didn't talk, didn't have a sword and didn't play any big part in the movie except as an overgrown horse...HUGE level of bullshit

This feels like the closest we'll ever get to a video game adaption of Planet Hulk.
This time Planet Grimlock~
Loved that "stop squirming" line
Another nickname for him "The Incredible Grimlock"
The incredible Hulkbot

The Decepticon that accompanied the player at about 1:00 is 100% voiced by Liam O'Brien from Critical Role

I would have him as leader of the Wreckers; his style of combat definitely fits. The Wreckers of course tend not to like someone uptight being in command of them, but Grimlock would unleash them like the houds of hell

Its so weird how his sword transformation sound is the same as Bumblebee's robot transformation from the previous game
Grimlock the Stabbing Savage
A lot of people saying how Grimlock sounds a lot like The Hulk. i wouldnt disagree, but personally he sounds a lot more like Baron Praxis from Jak II
In the beginning of the G1 series Grimlock was used less as comic relief, and more as an idiotic but powerful warrior.
24:17 Swoop: we got new bodies need a new name Lightning Strike Coalition Force never sounded right

You gotta feel bad for those first two deceptions in the beginning they shook and they had emotions,

I love how at 15:07 there are 2 deceptions talking then seeing grimlock one them pushes the other
Not much out there that can top the feeling of realizing I could pick bots up and throw them at each other, what a goated level
1:40 bro became a cartoon character 💀💀💀
15:07 that one Decepticon mook pushing his friend down and then running for it 😂
17:30, the first time I heard that the first thing I thought was "Yeah, that's not going to back fire is it?"
"Subject prone to violent outbursts" ..............That's putting it mildly!
I NEED THIS GAME NOW
Definitely it is very worth playing I just got it a few days ago and I just finished my second playthrough
“Me Grimlock preform glory kill!

This part on the game is nostalgic i remember repeating it so many times because grimlock in the high moon games was VERY cool
This game was beyond great for 1 .... Miss being young
My advice: Use the shield more often for Grimlock.
1:39. Did anyone catch that sound effect
Yeah same is so funny 🤣
They are rage, brutal, without mercy. But you, you will be worse. Rip and tear, until it is done!
Well, Starscream did indeed help Grimlock. By getting within his reach.
Did you know Starscream could reclaim his crown in this mission
7D? Is that a Easter egg of there being 7 dinobots?
I know the transformers are all wildley different sizes but gridlock looks huge when compared to some the grunt decepticons
Grimlock should be in the 4th Transformers film.
i love the original transformers movie references between grimlock and slag (slug)
I played Kira’s theme for starscream’s playthrough
