Me Grimlock Badass!

This is the way Grimlock needs to be portrayed when he shows up in one of the new, live action Transformers movies set to begin in 2007. I for one was never happy with the way they made him nearly mentally handicapped in the cartoon series. Dreamwave really took the time to develop his character as a grizzled war veteran and brilliant military battle strategist, who happened to have a speech impediment which gave him an overall gruff demeanor. Nowhere did they develop his character more during their run than in their pre-Earth Cybertronian "War Within" series. These are three of my favorite sequences involving the big bruiser tank-turned-tyrannosaur.

Here's Grimlock giving the newly-appointed leader Optimus Prime some sage advice:

Finally, this is a far cry from "Me Grimlock love Kup's war stories! Tell Grimlock about Petrol Rabbits again!"
