[edit] Universe

Maybe YOU consider the Wal*Mart Landfill set and the "Dinobots" subline Grimlock "unofficially part of Universe," but it's NOT a popular opinion, and OFFICIALLY, they belong in other lines, and they are mentioned accordingly in the respective section of the page. Likewise, the Scavenger repaint of Grimlock? It's not Grimlock - it's Scavenger, so it barely merits mention. All that leaves for a Universe sub-section is War Within Grimlock's comic appearance, it's not not worth creating a heading for one sentence of information, so that is mentioned in the Dreamwave section. CONDENSE information into the smallest possible space for easy consumption - don't expand it unnecessarily.

Walmart Grimlock appeared in a Universe storyline. War Within Grimlock appeared in 2 issues of the comics and in a voice actor play. Reuses of a mold formerly from Grimlock seem worth one sentence mentions. usertalk:mathewignash

[edit] Speech impediment

One theory for Grimlock's speech impediment in this series is that Grimlock's memory is programmed with so much information about combat tactics and war strategies that very little memory was left over for other subjects like the comprehensive rules that govern speech. As a result, the only speech program that would fit in the remaining space was a minimalized set of grammatical rules.

I never saw anything like this theory in The War Within comics. Can anyone point me to the book & page where that's said? If it's not from the series and is just fan speculation, then I'm sorry, but Wikipedia isn't the place for it. -- Ritchy 19:50, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
In the Dreamwave MTMTE series Optimus Prime theorizes Grimlock doesn't fix the glitch in his speech processor on purpose because he likes his opponents underestimating him. User:Mathewignash

[edit] Added info on Grimlock's death

Added in a little bit about Grimlock's death in the Generation 2 story Allignment. As very few people know about this story (even though it was written by Simon Furman), I thought it might be important to add in. The story Allignment was recently put up for download from the website for Transforce, the UK convention that published it.

[edit] Strength

I reckon Grimlock was stronger than Optimus Prime or Megatron. The Tech Specs only went up to 10. Grimlock might've been as high as 13.

Doubt it. He was shown to stalemate Megs, not outright beat him in a few episodes. And in the Marvel comics Megs was able to hammer all 5 Dinobots when not even at full power. Only Prime is Megatron's equal in strength in virtually all continuities.SMegatron 18:34, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lack of sources and references

I don't see any problem with this page. It has info from the toy box, and people who read the comic books and watched the TV show. Seems fine to me. 6-21-06 user:Mathewignash

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Autobot logo s.jpg

Image:Autobot logo s.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Animated Series

To stop the turncoat Dinobots, two new ones were created: Snarl and Swoop.

This is not correct. In series one, episode 10, Optimus Prime decides that two more Dinobots should be created before he realises that the original three Dinobots are going to be deceived by Megatron. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.108.142 (talk) 11:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
