Grimlock is essentially a playground fantasy of a character. “What if it’s like… a Transformer but also… a DINOSAUR?” He’s a big, scary dude with a big, scary sword who can also turn into a big, scary T-Rex. If this were just a list of “most totally rad Transformers,” Grimlock would take the top spot.
Luckily, Grimlock is a pretty solid fighter as well. He leads the Dinobots, a relatively small team that packs a pretty nasty punch. The Dinobots value strength and intensity, so it takes an extremely powerful leader to claim dominance over the rest of the group. Grimlock has shown off his fighting prowess on several occasions, and has held his own against and even defeated some of a veritable “Who’s Who” list of Transformers.
However, he loses more often than not when he tangles with any of the big timers, and his prickly, instinctive nature makes it so he often gets in over his head when battling against physically superior foes. He’s one of the more powerful “regular” Transformers, but there are some real oddballs on the way.
