I'm so torn by the fact that Grimlock is going to be an absolutely delightful pain in the eyes, but one of my earliest TF memories is getting a blue G2 Grimmy for my birthday, so. Augh.
I hear ya. My first experience with the original Grimlock mold was the G2 version. (Which is why I love the first Classic Grimlock, my first Grim was the Pretender and seeing those nods was GLORIOUS!)

That said, I can also look at it from the perspective that a "proper" G2 Grimlock is just a color swap from his grey to blue. It's actually kind of boring, while doing the unproduced deco is something reasonably new and different and is more distinctive from his other two releases.

That one designer after they tell him he can’t put in another important ‘84 character for Walmart to shortpack…

I've always liked the unreleased G2 stuff, admittedly for no other reason than the fact that it was unreleased. I love that this is happening.

I can not stress my joy here.
Sure you can! There's a Discord, too, if that's easier.

...but then, shouldn't that mean you hate this line?

These supposedly go up for order this afternoon in the UK (and presumably Europe). They're specialist retailer product, like Selects, not exclusives. Dunno if that will also cover the unrevealed ones.

I like Cloud Cover, and might bite on Toxitron. And this might be the only way to get G2 Drag Strip. Pass on the same character ones though. It's nice for the people who like this stuff but generally G2 repaints weren't released for a reason.

I've decided to pass on the G2 Stunticons since I have the Combiner Wars version and the mainline version of the new Menasor. Other than that, I'm with Phazer on just grabbing Toxitron and Cloudcover.

I *have* been hyping up these designs since buying the Legacy art book forever ago, which considering its name, is even more appropriate.



I mean, considering how bland the movie colors are, I'm glad these are here to just punch me in the face.

Because they're G2 Grimlock and Jazz and as far as we know they we're always intended to be.

-ZacWilliam, if there had been alternate names on the unused designs they likely would have gone with those like they did with Sandstorm.

Also, relooking at the Legacy book, unreleased Sludge and Swoop deserve attention, too. Having skipped all the dinos so far, this would make me finally bite.
