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
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?”
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)
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"!!!!
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 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
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
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.
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."
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
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.
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.
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.
That's what I hate about role playing video games, you do something that's really cool when you do it once, then they ask you to repeat then repete again till it becomes tedious
i think he is talking about the rage of dinobots comic , from the prime continuity , that continuity and this one are the same , the aligned continuity
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.
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!?

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.

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
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?”
Then he is thrown like a ragdoll and explodes

Easily the best level of the game

You can say that about all of them

“Lucky you...”

Starscream: 13:58. "I will set you free" 14:05. "I can help you". Well, he did help Grimlock get free.
Grimlock in G1: “Me Grimlock no bozo; me king!”
Grimlock in Fall of Cybertron: *_”I AM DEATH, & I AM PISSED.”_*
Damn this game is ahead of it's time, the art direction still holds up to this day.
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.
LOL!! Don't tell me nobody hears that Cartoonish shaking! 1:40
Stephen Dori it’s the best shaking detail 🤣🤣
I noticed it right away; a classic from the Golden era of animation.
Fall of Cybertron Grimlock is my favorite version of the character to date.
This feels like the closest we'll ever get to a video game adaption of Planet Hulk.
This time Planet Grimlock~
Another nickname for him "The Incredible Grimlock"
The incredible Hulkbot
$ Cash $ Money $ Hero $ Me Grimlock no Hulkbot, Me Grimlock Dinobot
Loved that "stop squirming" line

Playing as grimlock is such a power trip
love hearing that line, "there he is! open fire!"
"It's escaped"

@@dannyboi5887 His personality is actually based on Marvel comics Grimlock from the 80s if you want to look more into that
The part when grimlock first transforms is the highlight of this game for me🔥🔥🔥🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️👌👌👌👌
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
The part where starscream kills 2 shoulder made me feel bad about that friend
The Decepticon that accompanied the player at about 1:00 is 100% voiced by Liam O'Brien from Critical Role
Critical Role didn't exist when this game was made
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
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.

Classic Grimlock
Its so weird how his sword transformation sound is the same as Bumblebee's robot transformation from the previous game
Grimlock the Stabbing Savage
26:07 “Optical scan, confirmed” I don’t know why but this moment had me rolling lol.
In the beginning of the G1 series Grimlock was used less as comic relief, and more as an idiotic but powerful warrior.

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
Grimlock executes a 'Con with Kratos-style!

This part on the game is nostalgic i remember repeating it so many times because grimlock in the high moon games was VERY cool
I miss when I could play dis game :
14:50 it sounds like he said LIKE SHOCKWAVE!!!
*alert Shockwave..
17:30, the first time I heard that the first thing I thought was "Yeah, that's not going to back fire is it?"
the legend exists
Starscreams laugh oddly reminds me of Freiza
16:07 Oh, you don’t want that, trust me.
Exactly he's simply asking for it

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!

Well, Starscream did indeed help Grimlock. By getting within his reach.

15:07 that one Decepticon mook pushing his friend down and then running for it 😂

well aint that the understatement of the year... VIOLENT OUTBURSTS is putting it mildly
wish liam o'brien voiced more decepticons, his voice fits them perfectly
GRIMLOCK!
I know the transformers are all wildley different sizes but gridlock looks huge when compared to some the grunt decepticons
years later we all want it back on consoles
Grimlock one of my favorite character
I want a Dinobot game! Done like this level, I want to play as all the Dinobots too!!
I feel like Kratos and fall of cybertron grimlock would make a great team
Grimlock should be in the 4th Transformers film.
They are rage, brutal, without mercy. But you, you will be worse. Rip and tear, until it is done!
i love the dinobots scorn the spinosaurus and slug and grimlock
Ahhh nostalgia😭

This level was Soo fun
at this point 24:44 the game crashes, on my computer. Has anyone encountered a similar one?

Who would win in a battle? Machinedramon (Mugendramon) from digimon or Grimlock?
now this is pod-racing
