Grimlock — Figures & Merchandise

Some Autobots protect through strategy, while Grimlock protects by charging straight ahead. Leader of the Dinobots, famous both for his colossal strength and legendary indiscipline, he remains one of the most endearing characters in the entire Transformers saga—the one who prefers solving problems with his fists rather than with a plan.

This collection brings together figures and merchandise featuring him, for fans who prefer raw power and a strong-willed temperament to the more thoughtful strategists among the Autobots.

Who is Grimlock?

Officially an Autobot, Grimlock often does as he pleases: impatient and brutal in combat, but fundamentally loyal when the situation truly demands it. This tension between indiscipline and loyalty is what makes the character as funny as he is endearing, and explains why he remains one of fans’ favorite Dinobots across all generations. Our article Grimlock: Leader of the Dinobots traces his entire journey, while our guide Who Are the Dinobots in Transformers? puts his role within the team into context.

A transformation into a tyrannosaurus that became iconic

His transformation into a T-Rex remains one of the most recognizable in the entire Transformers universe, a design choice that immediately sets him apart from the rest of the Autobots cast. This is particularly evident in our 23cm Grimlock Figure — Transforming Dinobot, which showcases this mechanism in detail. Grimlock checks both the “robot” and “dinosaur” boxes—a combination that rarely works this well elsewhere in the saga.

How to choose your Grimlock figure?

The choice mainly depends on the intended use:

• For a young child — the 13cm Grimlock Mini Figure — Articulated Dinobot offers simplified transformation, designed to withstand daily handling.
• For a collector — the 23cm version features a more faithful tyrannosaur transformation mechanism and more refined finishes.
• To discover the character without breaking the bank — the Transformers Grimlock Figure remains a reliable choice in the classic format.

A leader like no other

What sets Grimlock apart from the saga’s other leaders, with Optimus Prime at the forefront, is precisely his approach to command: he leads the Dinobots through strength of character and by example rather than diplomacy. A more instinctive leadership style that deliberately contrasts with the calmer wisdom of the leader of the Autobots—and that appeals to fans looking for a less polished character.

Who is it for?

Grimlock appeals both to fans of classic Transformers and to children who simply love dinosaurs—a rare dual entry point into the franchise’s universe. For younger fans, the Transformers Grimlock Kids’ T-Shirt is another way to show their passion every day, also available in our Transformers T-Shirts collection.

A gift that’s almost always a hit

It’s hard to go wrong with Grimlock if the recipient likes dinosaurs, whether they’re a Transformers fan or not: the character’s silhouette is instantly recognizable, even to someone who doesn’t know much about the rest of the saga.
