Character Profile
Grimlock, along with fellow Dinobots Slag and Swoop, were created by Issac Sumdac and Megatron. Their bodies were originally display models, animatronics, at a Dinosaur park. After the models were damaged Issac Sumdac had to repair them, during which time Megatron added a few "upgrades". During a fight, the Dinobots were hit with an electro-magnetic pulse, empowered by the Allspark key. This was enough to rip the robot flesh from their bodies, but more importantly gave them sparks.

After Megatron tought Grimlock that cars were bad, and robotic cars were even worse, the Dinobots went on the rampage again. After they were finally stopped, Prowl and Bulkheaed moved them to Dinobot island, so they could live in peace.
Toy Profile
GRIMLOCK more than lives up to the reputation of his Tyrannosaurus Red mode. Ill-tempered, powerful, and always ready for a fight, he loves to throw his weight around. He likes the way the groudn shakes as he stomps around, and the way peple scatter when he roars. He's happiest on DINOBOT Island, where he can stomp and roar to his Spark's content, shattering trees with his tail, and breathing jets of flames into the sky. Every once in a while, though, he prefers to find the biggest, most powerful DECEPTICON he can, and smash its chassis to pieces.

Fire breath can melt granite.
Created on Earth.
Just as strong as MEGATRON.
