Comments
The size of Grimlock is perfect in proportion to the other transformers of the series, overall he has good transformation and very similar to the original cartoon, however in dino mode aesthetically he matches the cartoon perfectly, but is not very articulate in his overall movements, you can't really stand him up in many ways as a T-rex, as the balance of the toy has not been engineered for Dino mode. Wheelie is probably more an accessory then another transformer toy that comes along with Grimlock, he doesn't transform and very limited joint movement, on top of that he doesn't really sit well on Grimlock in Dino mode, as there is no obvious slots where he can sit on his neck, in comparison to the obvious place for him to sit on Grimlock's shoulder.
