Review: #TransformersToys Flip & Change Grimlock

Transformers Flip & Change Grimlock in Package

I received a box of Transformers toys from the most recent movie, Transformers: Age of Extinction to play with and review. Opinions of them and the movie are 100% my own.

One of the most anticipated aspects of the Transformers: Age of Extinction movie was the inclusion of the Dinobots. The Dinobots have been fan favorite characters for a very long time and many people wanted to see them in the movies. They have finally arrived in a big way. Although they are not in the whole movie and there are certain ways in which they could have been better the introduction of these massive warriors was welcome. It is certainly great to see more Dinobots toys on the shelves again.

Hound was one of the better characters in the new Transformers: Age of Extinction movie.

I’ll just call him Hound from here on out since that’s what anyone who plays with the toy is gonna call him. Hound got a major upgrade from his G1 days. He used to be a scout army Jeep who could project holograms to fool the enemy. This Hound projects thousands of rounds of ammunition. He’s the heavy artillery for the Autobots, everything you can think of he is carrying including a large caliber bullet that he chomps on like a cigar all through the movie.
