Grimlock

Me Grimlock, king! The powerful and arrogant leader of the Dinobots, Grimlock is one of the mightiest warriors in the Autobot ranks. He respects strength above all else and often clashes with Optimus Prime's leadership, but his loyalty to the Autobot cause is unquestionable. In battle, his raw power and ferocity are nearly unmatched.

Released in April 2014, this Grimlock figure was part of the 'Age of Extinction' Construct-Bots series. The set came in a box containing 25 pieces on sprues and an instruction manual for assembly. This was a general retail release with no known exclusivity.

• Buildable figure with 25 interlocking pieces

The Construct-Bots line was aimed at a younger audience and generally holds little interest for most adult collectors. Due to its wide availability, simple construction, and focus on play over screen-accuracy, this Grimlock has low demand on the secondary market. It's an inexpensive and accessible entry point for fans of the building-toy gimmick but is not considered a significant collector's piece.

Like many figures in the Construct-Bots line, the ball joints can become loose over time, affecting poseability. The skeletal, open-frame design can also feel flimsy or incomplete to collectors accustomed to traditional Transformers figures.
