Cheetor & Bumblebee are the most fun and work well with their armor. Grimlock looks like a lot of fun. Kinda need him now. But I do agree that the battle class works so Much better then the elite gimmick.

I got this for my son, you can move the hands forward to get the armor stuck in place, its like his hands will get stuck between the side of the chest armor and the claws

I actually like the dino mode better than the other Cyberverse versions we've gotten so far. Honestly, if I could get that Grimlock without the armor, I would.

There are very small tabs on the gray arm part of the armor that is made to lock into the black part on each side of the head but the springs are too strong and the tabs are too small to hold. Seems they rushed this out. Too bad they have my $25 already. Oh well. Also the green part of the claws on the armor can move down

The Grimlock head, specifically the faceplate, is an homage to other media (comics, War Within, I think...?), where the warrior Grimlock had the massive teeth (which were an homage of sorts, to his ferocious alt mode teeth) detailed as a part of his actual faceplate... Presumably to strike fear into his opponents.. Because if they got close enough to see his face, then they were probably dead anyway. THAT aspect of THIS toy is an homage to those versions of Grimlock, which is good, because this Happy Meal toyline was seriously lacking in the detail arena. Also, as a designer/artist myself, I am going to disagree with you on his coloring vs. that of his armor. It's not even a contrast, it's an outright CLASH. .. Which is sadly true of nearly ALL these spark armor things... SOME work, MOST do not. This truck armor thing, should have blended with him MORE to help "sell" the overall look when combined, but instead, we have a Dumpster Dive Grimlock that should have come packaged with an Oscar the Grouch trashcan to plug into the back, a la Master Blaster from "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome"... I got Cheetor, but he'll never wear that dumb@$$ armor... Nor will ANY of these figures I may pick-up. THIS gimmick had potential, but once again, Hasbro being Hasbro, drops the ball and jacks up the price. I mean, AT LEAST make their armor relevant to the characters for crying out loud! I mean, I'm pretty sure the trash truck is another G1 homage to Wreck-Gar, Wheelie, and the Junkions from BACK in the G1 cartoon movie, so AT LEAST there's that remote connection, which honestly IS still reaching quite a bit... but how does a jet relate even remotely to partner up with a BULLDOZER?! Or a Cheetah/Bumblemobile to a FREAKING Destroyer ship?! Or an ambulance to a SNOWMOBILE?! I think you get my point, but THEN to top off the imminently "logical" vehicle/bot to vehicle/armor combinations, the colors of the things that become armor don't even make sense with the bots they combine onto... AND the stupid springloaded armor ONLY augments the head/shoulders/arms, and NOT the legs (except for Optimus & the smaller Battle class figures...), so they become top heavy, which does NO favors to the hips/knees of the figures. Not only that... BUT I'm pretty sure a SHIP is gonna CRUSH a VW bug or a Cheetah if you put one on top of those particularly small bot alt mode types... Just saying there's zero logical thought put into this crap. If the G1 toys were THIS $#!t back in the day, we wouldn't be celebrating 35 years of the line, because GOBOTS would have been the way to go. Granted, the G1's were brickish, but they were STILL a Hell of a LOT cooler than THIS stuff. ALL of the kids I know, and it's a lotta kids, LOVE the G1 re-issue stuff, but they really don't like the Cyberverse toys at all. Even THEY know it's cheap junk playing to the lowest denominator. I wish they were better toys, so maybe I'd buy more for not only my collection, but also for some of these kids. As it is, I'm kind of glad they SUCK as much as they do, so I don't have to buy as many of them. Double edged sword, I suppose... Anyway, good review, and I appreciate YOUR interest and I'm glad that you can enjoy them enough for both of us. I also appreciate your honesty in reviewing stuff, whether you like a figure or not, because it helps me determine whether or not I'm willing to buy it if I'm on the fence about it. I hope you don't take anything I said about these toys as a slight against you, which I'm sure you won't, because you obviously aren't responsible for bringing them into existence. I just really can't give Hasbro a pass on these things, especially at the ridiculous price point for less quality and even less articulation, "kids line" or not. Keep up the great work though, I do enjoy your reviews.

Color may clash with Grimlock's, but it sure looks like Animated Wreck-gar.

So frustrating as my son doesn't understand that there's a fault with the armour so he gets me to try and it's the same frustration. If I'd kept the box I'd have sent this back...as it is the armours off.

You say to stick with the Battle Class ones, but does it ever bother you that their heads can't rotate in any way? Because at-least these Elite Class ones actually have rotatable heads. I'm just saying really. Personally, though, I'm used to that factor. ^.^ As for Elite Class Grimlock here? Well, it's definitely not terrible, to say the least. Though, here's hoping that the upcoming Deluxe Class line, with the additional Maccadam Build-a-Figure pieces, actually includes a proper screen accurate figure that does Grimlock more justice. Because, what we've currently seen with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Shockwave in that line, I've got high hopes thus far. :)
