>>10605527The short version is: I found out about G1 Grimlock around the time when AOE was new and fell in love with his robot mode design. I thought to myself "Man if I could get any transformer It'd be this one, but modern Transformers is just the movie stuff. It's not like I can just walk into a store and find a modernized version of this 1984 toy on the shelves".
A few years later, I walked into a store and just so happened to check the Transformers section during wave 1 of PotP. He's been my favorite Transformers figure since.
