Explanation of the conversion: This write-up is based on Grimlock's Beast Wars Tech Spec. As more becomes known about
him in the Dreamwave comics, I'll add it.
History: After the end of the Great War, the Dinobot Commander Grimlock was reformatted
as a Maximal. He eventually traveled to pre-historic Earth and was reformatted again in the form of a dinosaur.
On Earth Grimlock ended up confronting the Predacon Magnaboss.
Trivia: On the Transformers television show, the voice of Grimlock
is played by actor Gregg Berger. The toy for Grimlock is similar to the toy
of Dinobot.
Powers: Grimlock's new Maximal form is smaller and more energy efficient than his previous ones. His bravery and
hand-to-hand combat skill is equally impressive. He is a highly skilled fighter, with a knowledge of Cybertonian pit
fighting techniques. In robot mode he wields an energo-sword and special shield. He turns into a velociraptor with wicked
teeth and claws who can run at over 75 mph. He
repairs damage to his form quicker in beast mode and is better protected from high energon levels as well.
Weaknesses: Grimlock is highly arrogant. His new body isn't as strong or as dureable as his old one. Due to
an old glitch in his vocal subprocessor, Grimlock speaks in an odd, primitive manner. This often causes his foes to
underestimate, and he seems to have no intention of repairing it. Grimlock lacks ranged attacks. High energon fields can
adversely effect Grimlock if he stays in robot form for too long. His animal
form is protected from high energon levels.
