I never liked the Dinomode Leader Grimlock. Small dinky tail, long torso, but at least the bot mode is nice. So after trial and error I finally got Grimlock the way I want, mostly. He is a parts-former, which is the only way I could make it work with the look I wanted.
Still a work in progress, not done painting and I still have a couple mods to do, or test out before I actually do it.
Some things to note:
Being a parts former, I made everything fit together but to transform to robot, those parts come off and get placed aside. His entire underbelly comes off. Both feet come off (attach to the hands for dino mode), the dino head comes off and part of his back comes off. So yeah, parts parts parts, but I am happy with his dino mode so...I don't care.
His dino head has a light gimmick and the mouth has sorta hydraulic thingy in the jaws. Works, more or less, just not as detailed or accurate cause really, only so much space and parts. Still works so, looks nice enough
Also has interchangeable mace to swap out with fist and I will be extending his giant mace sword looking thing too. Obviously those are not done yet.
Dino mode:
Bot mode:
head is on a ball joint now
Here is everything he needs:
I will post more pics once I finish him. For now, this is a pretty good start.
