Space Ape, developers of the upcoming Transformers Earth Wars mobile game, have shared another inside look at one of the game’s characters, Grimlock. Check it out below.

Reports are coming in via former members of the Trans-Europe Express group that Masterpiece Grimlock has now been spotted on the shelves of Toys R Us stores in both Germany and Poland.  The figure is the UK release with a sticker added to the box in the native language.

We'll keep you updated with more sightings are we receive them

Two more clips from Transformers Robots in Disguise have been posted onto You Tube.  Both show the pretty slick animation style, and decent writing .. just a shame the Decepeticons are animal-robot hybrids

Here is a quick catchup on the Transformers: Age of Extinction news from the last few days.

The Facebook page of TransformersCars.com have posted a series of images of the TF4 crew member's hoodie which appear to revealed the robot mode for Grimlock on the back. The design for the robot mode of Grimlock is in keeping with the more medieval look that Transformers 4 is going for which is a theme, we are told, will carry over into the action sequences of the film.

Entertainment Tonight have posted two videos relating to Transformers 4 that reveal the name of one of the new characters as well as some hints at possible plot devices. You can view the first video here and the second video here.

The Allspark have spotted some interesting auctions on ebay for what may be a reissue Transformers Classics Jetfire and a Gold Chrome Chest Version  of Fall of Cybertron Grimlock.

Classics Jetfire has an Autobot insignia on his chest but Decepticon emblems on his wings whilst the Fall of Cybertron Grimlock figure comes with chrome gold paint, akin to the Takara Generations release, but placed a little differently on this figure. This version of Grimlock is thought to be the Platinum Series version mentioned at Toy Fair 2013, which is to be released in a giftset bundled with Fall of Cybertron Bruticus.

Just to prove that there will be more Transformers coming out this year than we all saw at the US Toy Fair, ACToys.net have posted three images of a previously un-announced Transformers Generations Beast Wars Megatron which will be a recolour of the FoC Grimlock with a new head .  Will this figure be a general release? an Asian exclusive? Could it be part of the Asian TV series which is in the works? Time will tell.

e-Hobby have updated their product listings with some new, clear, official stock images of the upcoming Takara-Tomy Transformers Generations TG-19 Grimlock and TG-20 Ratbat figures.  As expected from Japanese releases, the toys have metallic paint with Grimlock also having a a more accurate red abdomen where as Ratbat has been given a new head which appears inspired by the IDW Comics Senator Ratbat which was first "leaked" via the instruction sheet which came with Transformers Generations Scourge.  The head will no doubt be reused for future recolours and we could image that these may include some of the Brestmasters.  You can view the images below.

CBR just posted an article covering Activision's SDCC 2012 Transformers: Fall of Cybertron panel, which featured voice actors Peter Cullen, Nolan North, and Gregg Berger. During the panel North mentions working with Cullen and Berger on both Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and Transformers Prime.

Berger spoke about voicing Grimlock, stating in the Dinobot's voice that he was "driven by aggression!" Without any filters to get in the way, Grimlock's strength has a great capacity, even if it's slightly out of his control. Berger thought it was incredible role for an actor to play. He also did a little bit of "Me king!" in Grimlock voice, much to the delight of the crowd, while explaining what a great ally he was to the Autobots team.

North, the iconic voice of Nathan Drake from the "Uncharted" games, explained how much fun it was voicing both Autobot (Cliffjumper) and Decepticon (Bruticus), changing tones for each character. He jokingly poked at Berger in his Bruticus voice, similar to his Grimlock role. He also felt honored to watch Berger and Cullen work, both on this project and the animated "Transformers Prime" series.

GameStop has posted even more information on Transformers Fall of Cybertron, confirming characters such as Grimlock and the Combaticons.

Entertainment Earth has posted official images of the Dinobot Minicons, recolours of Knockdown, Terrorsaur, Swoop and Snarl.

The new figures will be Grimlock, Swoop and Snarl (as Hasbro won't use the name Slag), and hopefully they will name the tiger Catilla, on whom the colour scheme seems to be based.  Another throught is that this will be Grimlock, Swoop, Slag (Triceratops) and Snarl (Cat)
