Great review covering the updates. I got the first release of this due to the scarcity of Fantoys. It didn’t disappoint but this looks improved. Managed to get the full set of Gigas and also got the reissue of Stomp and Soar. Definitely measure up well against each other. Great quality and presence for the masterpiece Dinos.
Got mine on Saturday, it’s as great as all the rest of the reissues have been. The limited ankle tilts hurt it to be sure (you can cheat it a tiny bit by using the sideways transformation joint on the knees) but I still think it edges out Grinder. Mostly due to torso proportions, and the metallic silver instead of the plain gray.
Such a awesome figure, no matter how many times I’ve seen a review to me it’s the definitive version of a masterpiece Grimlock. Great review video as always. 🤘🏽
Nice timing on this review as I received my copy right today! It's amazing and I already have the Fanstoys one but this one blows it away. Also I paid much less for it, around 185$ with almost year long preorder, so it's even cheaper than FT. Amazing figure, they even corrected most of it's previous faults, too bad they did not give it a proper ankle tilt, that's the only real downside of it, but oh well
The button is for the ab crunch. Lack of ankle tilt sucks but people complaining about it also have their "grim lock" with ankle tilt standing in a normal A pose. So....
I have both sets of these. Giga looks impressive for sure, all great figures. I'll put the FT up for display next to the Autobots every time. Giga looks better by themselves.
Great Review. I still haven't paid for mine from BabaBoBo since I have the KO OS MP Grimlock...but man this is tempting. I like the MP Grimlock with the color change eyes gimmick built into the dino and robot head..no parts swapping
I love it and was so torn between MP08X Grimlock and this one but I think this one the HQ-01R is better (just wish he had a crown too). Thank you for an awesome review and for all the great feedback on his playability and transformation.
@@TMReviews Thanks man. Its very rare when you choose another 3rd party over FansToys. I did however pickup FT Swoop over GP but it blends in just fine with the GP action. By the way Shuan Love just hooked me up again......that dude has mad skills and is such a nice person in general.
If not for those dismal legs, GP's offering blows FT's out of the water. However, I can't overlook the lack of an ankle tilt. Speaking of Grimlock, have you seen Planet X Cacus?
I picked one up at a resale store. It’s missing pieces. Clear Yellow Chest cover, blaster, both arms and alt face. Need to locate these pieces or possibly 3D print them. Any help would be appreciated.
Awesome review. How long til we see a compassion vid with Fan Toys. Looking to buy a few very soon. But would love to see them paired up before pulling the trigger. Thanks!
I pulled the trigger on this guy(and sludge) The second you said it’s definitely going to sell out and cost a lot more. I already have two and I don’t want an incomplete set
@@TMReviews You definitely kicked me into gear although I won hundred percent wanted to get them anyway. Now my biggest decision is whether to get a blue or a red swoop. The red one is expensive but I think I’m in love with it
Come on gigapower its 2021 and still the ankles suck on your grimlock. Glad i have my fanstoys version. That is much superior quality than this. As usual Great review TM from head to toe to transformation.
Seems like FT fanboys in the house. FT is not Superior to this. Giga out Shines FT in many ways. Overall Giga does edged them out. You must haven't watched any VS. Vids... but don't get me wrong either one you choose is a win
@@gtoney im not a fanboy fans toys just my opinion whats the point of a premium product if the the couldn’t even revise the ankles. Hell even the plastic hasbro 86 series grimlock can perform dynamic poses. FYI half of fans toys figures sucks and expensive nowadays so no im no fanboy of them.
@@ronking8442 happy you corrected yourself but when you said the word Superior. I thought you were being bias.. 😎😎. But All in all Dinos are supposed to be big bricks
I think the button in the back is for the abcrunch I believe. Definitely an amazing figure forsure.
I am happy that they fix the easy to broken part on the hand there and tighten certain places!
Yup

Thanks, ya the minor improvement to the dino arms and forearm panels definitely helps
@@TMReviews man,…I almost want to sell mine to get the new one. Is it worth it you think?
@@LetsGetitBoah yes it is worth it.. you'll know the difference as soon as you hold this Bot in your hand 😉💯
@@gtoney hmmmmmm…….sold!
@@gtoney what’d you notice right away?

Definitely a good one
Mine is on the way! Paid just under $200 with a preorder earlier this year!

Agreed, thanks for watching
Gotta be a near perfect figure, would be nicer with blue Dino eyes IMO
Yep, the giga are really well done
Looks insane! My favorite character! Can't wait to get this beast!
The button is for the ab crunch. Lack of ankle tilt sucks but people complaining about it also have their "grim lock" with ankle tilt standing in a normal A pose. So....
My ab crunch would not budge for some reason, this is the second time that has happened
Agreed lol...Dinobots are ment to stand straight up anyways.. I don't care for an ankle tilt
An awesome review of an awesome MP version of Grimlock and his cool accessories!
Thanks for watching
@@TMReviews You're doing awesome work! 👍
I have both sets of these. Giga looks impressive for sure, all great figures. I'll put the FT up for display next to the Autobots every time. Giga looks better by themselves.
Thanks for another great review. Mine is coming tomorrow. Can't wait.
Thanks for watching

That was a nice feature on the MP, but the bot is sorely lackinf compared to Third party
waiting on my copy from show z excited
Great review 🌟 😎.. Love the Gigapower Power Dinos.. So Awesome😄.. im thinking of trying out the FT versions in the future. I love me some Dinos 😂
Can't go wrong, thanks for getting me hooked lol

Mines just came in yesterday
Same it's awesome!
Yup
It is a stunning piece...all i need now is Swoop to complete the set
My copy just hit yesterday. I love it. Great review 👏
Congrats, thanks for watching

Ya Shaun is awesome

This Dino mode is awesome…
If not for those dismal legs, GP's offering blows FT's out of the water. However, I can't overlook the lack of an ankle tilt.
Speaking of Grimlock, have you seen Planet X Cacus?
I saw and picked up cacus at TFCon Baltimore but didn't get a chance to review it
The button is to release the ab crunch joint, VERY essential to get a great looking bot mode!! Just that alone makes him alot more dynamic looking.
Mine is jammed
Mine was too in the beginning, but with alot of finangling, was able to get it done.
Awesome!!! I'm waiting on swoop I have Grimlock ..Snarl..Slag..Sludge chrome version I love them nice big boys
Still waiting for mine to show up.
Toydojo is fast!
I hope I’m getting this version from ShowZ.
Loved the figure! Expect no review of the reissued soar when it comes available?
There were no changes to the reissued soar (if you mean fans toys). I decided not to review it since it was the same
@@TMReviews I typed and thought swoop but I meant to say giga graudenter.
No changes
Better than fanstoys no doubt
7:00 that button releases the ability crunch I believe. Is that right?
Yes, but mine is jammed
Any idea where to get a flame effect for this guy?
Still waiting on my preorder
Update he came!
I picked one up at a resale store. It’s missing pieces. Clear Yellow Chest cover, blaster, both arms and alt face. Need to locate these pieces or possibly 3D print them. Any help would be appreciated.
I just so happen to have an extra clear chest. Don't have the other parts tho. Contact me on Facebook and I will send it
@@TMReviews
Woohooo!!!!!
Awesome review. How long til we see a compassion vid with Fan Toys. Looking to buy a few very soon. But would love to see them paired up before pulling the trigger. Thanks!
This week, probably Friday
Does anyone know where I can purchase the flame for Suparators mouth?
Mine arrived today. Have not opened him yet 👍
Nice, he's dope
Buy now, or hold out for upgraded ankles? Decisions, decisions...
They won't upgrade the ankles, too much of a mold change
If this would have ankle tilt I’d be all in for this. Such a shame.
I pulled the trigger on this guy(and sludge) The second you said it’s definitely going to sell out and cost a lot more. I already have two and I don’t want an incomplete set
Yup, definitely need to buy when available
@@TMReviews You definitely kicked me into gear although I won hundred percent wanted to get them anyway. Now my biggest decision is whether to get a blue or a red swoop. The red one is expensive but I think I’m in love with it
Hopefully they have metallic red because the flat red doesn't match the others
Looks very similar to MP-08 grimlock. This one looks better though. My opinion
Negative: no more Autobots decal
Looks like the ss 86 grimlock in alt mode
Luv your reviews but ya scare me with how fast and rough you transform stuff lol otherwise good stuff
Lol thanks
The button is for the ab crunch feature. th-cam.com/video/bFUwmMwUmyw/w-d-xo.html
Come on gigapower its 2021 and still the ankles suck on your grimlock. Glad i have my fanstoys version. That is much superior quality than this. As usual Great review TM from head to toe to transformation.
I agree
Ya I wish they could have changed that design, but other than that it's awesome
Seems like FT fanboys in the house. FT is not Superior to this. Giga out Shines FT in many ways. Overall Giga does edged them out. You must haven't watched any VS. Vids... but don't get me wrong either one you choose is a win
