You're joking... right? They CANNOT turn Grimlock into a Mustang. I don't care how much the fans want him in the movie you CANNOT turn Grimlock into a Ford Mustang. And what are they doing about the rest of the Dinobots? Oh I'm sorry, they won't be the Dinobots anymore.

The BinalTech figure named Grimlock will be a 2005 Ford Mustang.

Don't know whether I should die laughing now, or just bawl my head off.

The bad part about Alternators is that there is no backstory behind the toys. However, Takara was kind enough to give Binaltech a story.

The groundbreaking for Autobot City, the establishment of the EDC--the Earth Defense Command, the advances into outer space...humans and Autobots have now formed an invaluable community bound by a common destiny. Amid all this, destructive Decepticon operations using the metallic pathogen "Cosmic Rust" have caused irreparable damage to countless Autobot members of the Earth garrison. Megatron had just launched a war of conquest on the planet Cybertron, and almost all Autobot personnel and material had just left Earth behind. Having lost their trump card of defensive strength, cut off from all support, and faced with an absolute crisis, the EDC reaches an emergency decision to initiate the Binal-Tech Project, a "human-developed Transformers" plan they'd been considering for some time. Under the orders of the mother computer Teletraan-1, the development of transformable, humanoid machines is carried out at a rapid pace by companies and research organizations around the world.

Here are born the warriors who are the hope of humans and Autobots alike, the Binal-Tech Transformers!"*

So, Grimlock is simply one of the Autobots who were damaged by the Cosmic Rust and needed a new body.

Alright alright... as long as he still talks "Me Grimlock, me kick your heiney." Then I can deal.

He doesn't talk at all. Binaltech is just a line of toys. They are in no way related to the movie.

Nope. I'd rather see Grimlock omitted entirely than reimagined as just another car.

I agree with you, o mighty spawn of Unicron

Since when is a Ford Mustang just another car?

It's another car to people who want Grimlock as a freaking T-Rek Autobot!

Then buy the new Energon Grimlock that is coming out =p

Heh.

Still no Grimlok Dinobot form for a G1 movie will be odd.

Though which model Mustang...if muscle car variety...cool

If something like 90's variety...eh

They're probably not going to include him anyway. He's not a memorable character.

True...I think honestly only Furman used him well.

if they were to use a mustang, they would be playing wild Thing on his first appearance..

What part of BINALTECH/ALTERNATORS IS JUST A TOYLINE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOVIE is being made clear here? =p

Calm down and take a deep breath. Step away from the computer. Get som yogurt. Then start ranting again.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2004-07-27 12:13pm

Let's just drop the whole Grimlock bit guys.

VF5SS is right...Grimlock is likely not going to be in it....and BINALTECH is the Ford Mustang Grimlock...which is not the movie.

JME2 · Post by **JME2** » 2004-07-27 12:16pm

Understood, mein Spirit of Vengeance -- I kid, I kid!
