Biography
ME GRIMLOCK NO BOZO, ME KING!

In the original G1, many Autobots has wondered, why Grimlock chooses the Autobot side. He is dim-witted and sluggish and also prefers power and strength over wisdom and compassion, which matches the Decepticons. If he encountered a problem with one of the Autobots, the only way Grimlock may know is tearing it apart with his bare hands or slicing and dicing with his Energo-sword. Neverthless, Grimlock was a good strength asset for the Autobots. Besides, can the Decepticons face a huge, hulking and brutish Autobot that has a form of a massive T-Rex?

THE LEGACY OF GRIMLOCK
 * Transformers War For Cybertron
 * Transformers Fall Of Cybertron
 * Transformers Rise Of The Dark Spark

Opening
Grimlock was at Cybertron, at least the remainings of it. Grimlock is exiled to Cybertron's remainings along with his Dinobots due to the fact they didn't agree to Optimus Prime on Earth to protect the humans due to the fact the humans are now hating them and considering them as a threat. One day, Grimlock receives a message from Optimus Prime, that says there is a source of power, not Energon or anything else the Autobots or Decepticons know, but much more powerful. Optimus is on the way to gain the power, then the message was cut. Grimlock, hearing the message, thoughts that Optimus was now power hungry. So now, Grimlock travels back to Earth to gain this power source, no matter who stands in his way, he will destroy anyone, especially humans, who he had heard that there are a lot of humans chasing for the power source.

Rival
Name : Joseph Turok

Reason : Grimlock lands on the rival arena, sensing a lot of power in the arena. Grimlock thinks that the arena was composed of an energy or a material resembling Energon. Grimlock then thinks that the arena itself was a "battery" station for him. Then, Joseph Turok came to him, admiring his size, Joseph "mocks" Grimlock that he was too big for the power. Grimlock, hearing this, thinks that Joseph was also chasing for the power. Then, Grimlock warns Joseph to stay away from the power. Then, Joseph doesn't listen but he ignores Grimlock, saying that the power belongs to him. Hearing this, Grimlock was enraged. He says that Joseph was a coward that he ignores Grimlock. Then, Joseph mocks Grimlock that he is an idiot. Grimlock then became really enraged and transforms to his T-Rex alternate form. Looking at the transformation, Joseph became shocked and readies himself for battle. Then, in his T-Rex form, Grimlock says that he will die in a matter of second.

Connection : Both Joseph Turok and Grimlock was connected to Dinosaurs. Both are also associated with "alien Dinosaurs". While Joseph encounters "alien Dinosaurs", Grimlock WAS an "alien Dinosaur" due to the fact he is a Cybertronian. Both of these character's technological characteristics also a vice versa. While Grimlock uses high tech, or just futuristic weapon, the weapons Grimlock use was used before the humans existed in Earth. While Joseph uses human weapons that is maybe considered "old" to Grimlock in the future. So basically, both use futuristic weapons but in a different time. Again about the dinosaurs connection. While Grimlock's alternate form was a T-Rex and his group is called Dinobots, which is clearly associated with Dinosaurs, Turok has faced some Dinosaurs, giving him an experience in "Dino-killing". Turok may also have encountered an enemy that resembles Grimlock, which is Mama Scarface, which is a T-Rex, which (again) is Grimlock's alternate form.
