Profile: Grimlock is still the toughest, most ill tempered Dinobot but he's now being forced to back up his long standing claims that he's teh best choice for Autobot leader. No longer just in charge of the dinobots, Grimlock now occupies an important position in the overall Autobot hierarchy, forcing him to deal with all the demands an responsibilities of a full fledged commander. Although some Autobots aren't convinced that Grimlock could handle it, he's taking it very seriously. At the very least, Optimus Prime seems to think thee's potential there.

Weapons and Abilities: Subject is the strongest of all the dinobots and one of the most powerful Autobots. He is an intelligent an capable commander although his interpersonal skills leave much to be desired. Subject despises his human-like armored Pretender shell whi is equipped with a jet pack and atom smasher submachine gun that can penetrate most enemy armor. Subject's inner robot is armed with a double barreled rocket launcher and energo sword. Dinosaur mode's teeth are capable of snapping a Transformer in two; experimental jet boosters have been added to the legs in this mode.

Weaknesses: Subject has no physical weaknesses, although his arrogence undermines his abilities. The jet boosters in his dinosaur mode are extremely awkward to use.
