Transformers: Age of Extinction Turns Grimlock into Samurai Dino Hybrid

Seen the new redesign for Grimlock from Transformers: Age of Extinction yet? Here's the big boy now in his debut in the Bayverse.

No release date for the figure but it does shed new light on the character, as well as how he'll be treated in the Michael Bay directed fourth outing for the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

Fine, they look alike but there's just something wrong about Grimlock's new look. I guess I'm not happy with the paint scheme.

This is where things took the wrong turn for me. First he looks like a samurai warrior in Robot mode. We ditch the classic 'flaming sword' from Generation 1? Here's a comparison between the G1 Grimlock and the AOE version.



There are a couple of new additions for both the Autobots and the Decepticons. Regardless how crappy the movie turns out, I'm still clambering out to see this.

Transformers 4 Adds Freightliner Argosy Quite Possibly Ultra Magnus

Another new vehicle has been added into the list of bots set to appear in Michael Bay's Transformers 4 and it's a freightliner argosy which looks like a little brother for Optimus Prime.

Waitaminute, did I just say 'little brother'? The only 'little brother' for Prime that I know happens to be Ultra Magnus.

The guy is big and pretty powerful and is really a good substitute for Optimus Prime. Maybe there's an all-out war that happens and Optimus needs to call in his best general to fight the Decepticons. But I could be wrong especially since there was no official word with the photo release; for all we know it could actually be Megatron or something.

Still my money's on this freightliner being Ultra Magnus.
