Grimlock, Dinobot leader
Grimlock (グリムロック, Gurimurokku) is a wild card among the Autobots. Huge and powerful, he is also ego-maniacal, impatient and willful. He is gruff, and oftentimes confrontational and belives Optimus Prime doesn't have what it takes to make the tough calls and act on instinct, but exceptionally loyal to the Autobot cause. As such Grimlock is more than ready to detest his stubborness against orders if he thinks the ends will justify the means. His one obvious redeeming feature is his attachment to his team. As leader of a Wrecker team known as the Lightning Strike Coalition Force, he has gathered together a group of similar minded individuals he would do anything for. Together they handle the jobs the Autobots don't have the stomach for.
The powers of Animatron's Cyber Planet Key not only granted Grimlock a new alternate form, but increased his power tenfold. Unfortunately this was at the cost of his intelligence. While far from stupid, Predaking Prime have made it more difficult for the former field commander to think rationally and made his already prominent rage issues all the more severe. Fortunately his team, reborn as the Dinobots, have become more tight-nit than ever. Together they are helping overcome his disgust at what bad-bots such as, the Decepticons, Shockwave, and Draximus Prime has done and see the advantages of his new power.
