![]() Archive of Binaltech Grimlock's bio and tech specs.This sculpt was retooled into Alternators/Binaltech Wheeljack. In addition, the Binaltech version's engine/gun and the wheel's rims are vacuum-metalized, whereas they're simply painted silver for the Alternators version. The main difference between Hasbro's Alternators version of the toy and the Japanese Binaltech version is that the latter has its vehicle shell partially made out of painted die-cast metal parts, whereas the Alternators version is made entirely out of plastic (not counting the rubber tires). And it's a Grimlock who doesn't transform into a Tyrannosaurus rex. The toy is one of the most-complained-about Alternators toys, due to its notoriously finicky transformation (with many small steps that must be performed in exactly the right order) and to several pieces which have a tendency to pop off with relatively small amounts of force.

The entire assembly can store in robot mode by flipping down the tail-mount and pegging the blade's base to the peg on his lower back. His tail detaches and separates to form a gear-powered, spinning blade weapon, while the central "tail bone" separates to be used as a sword.
