I wasn't a Dinobot fan as a kid, I received Slag and Snarl as a gift for Christmas, but I was all about Hound, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. Didn't own a Grimlock until I was 25 and my neighbours gave me a box of old toys, mostly GI Joes but aside from Grimlock got a TwinTwist, Astrotrain, and the Predacons
Your channel always takes me back to the 80s when my transformers, specifically Grimlock would attempt to bite Zartan in half, while shockwave was holding his own against Tygra and Panthro all the while Lion-O was doing battle against Mossman, Spydor, and Skeletor with battle armor. I had a huge bookcase with all my action figures and the older i get brother…the more I miss them and my childhood. Thanks for the awesome content…keep at it.
I actually just got this guy a few weeks ago! I LOVE this figure! It's very close to being show-accurate, and I love how he looks in both dinosaur mode and robot mode! I felt like a little kid again when I got him!
I never had any of the Dinobots as a kid... I went the "reissue" route to get a full set I could afford now. Love having such iconic figures, even if they are KOs.
Grimlock was one of my first Transformers as a kid. Got him together with Slag for Christmas 1985 when I was 9yo. Still have him in my collection. It's not intended for this, but you can insert the rocket launcher's handle into the hole on the right side of Grimlock's head. So I always store the rocket launcher in robot mode on display.
My brother & I shared 2 OG G1 TF in our youths, and that's Grimlock and Snarl/Slag (don't remember which one anymore, just 100% it was nor Sludge or Swoop). Can that's after saving up a year's worth of lunch money leftovers pennies and a 30 mins trips to & from our school to the nearest TRU in -20C Montreal, Canada winter.
I never had Grimlock. I had Slag. G1 and the G2 green one. Maybe I’ll pick up a set of those KO Dinobots one day. I’d love to pick up a lot of these G1 KO releases, in general
I would love for Hasbro to reissue this! When I was a kid, I managed to obtain a pretty badly worn G1 Grimlock secondhand. I’m not sure if I still have him though. I would love to have a Hasbro reissue! I would keep it MISB. Grimlock is definitely my favorite Transformer!
It's a shame we are not going to get an official re-issue of the dinobots. I have the KO's and they are NOT the same. The more you look at them, the more you see.

Hound was the OG and my absolute favorite. i wonder how much of that is the reason I drive a Jeep today?! 🤷🏽♂️
Nice! I too actually had gotten a Slag one year for Christmas when I was younger!

I did something similar with all my toys back then. :D

Ive never actually tried that. Good idea!
@@GhostPrimeReviews Works great ;)
Also, I have always loved his double-barrelled blaster!

I was impressed as a kid by him, fearless not afraid of Unicron. Me Grimlock Kick Butt.

Like the short reviews.

Theres hope now. Hasbro is well aware of fan demand. The Retro Style reissues have done very well for Hasbro, so we can hope!
Take the loose arm off and put a little clear nail polish on the peg it connects to. It will fix that looseness.
I Should do that. I'm casually in the market for a nicer copy though.
I never had one back in the day (I tended to collect Decepticons) but will be remedying that this Christmas! 😁
I think I only had Slag and Snarl as a kid. Sludge was the one I really wanted though. I've got FT Stomp as a substitute.
OOOH Stomp. I dont have the FT Dinos... Yet. :)
It's a shame we are not going to get an official re-issue of the dinobots. I have the KO's and they are NOT the same. The more you look at them, the more you see.
Ive heard that about the KOs. I may pick one up one day to compare.
me grimlock not nice dino me mash brain's
