Voyager Class Grindor Review



Well i bought Voyager Class Grindor at Target about a week and a half ago, it was the last one they had. Im very happy with this buy. Now Grindor is a very nice figure, good details and all, he comes in the package with a mini Stalker Scorpinok. It doesnt transform but you can move the tail.

Helicopter Mode:
Well Grindor is a MH-53 Pave Low helicopter and just a repaint of movie 1 Blackout. Grindor in Heli Mode is not in scale with Starscream at all. His top rotors spin when you push a trigger on the back of the chopper, the rear rotors spin freely. On the bottom of the helicopter in the back, there is a cage that mini Scorpinok goes in, if you press the button, the cage opens to deploy him. Right above the cage there is a Decepticon symbol. Grindor has missiles on each side but they dont fire. In the front, under the right coc-pit, there is a mid-air refuel piece. He also has some doors carved into the plastic, you cant open them though. He has landing gear on the left and right and the front wheels are retractable.
Robot Mode:
Grindors transformations are ok, going from heli to robot isnt that hard but going from robot back into heli is pretty annoying and sometimes frustrating, but you manage. His paint job is really nice, i like it more than Blackout and Whirl but i like Evac has the best. The prop is a big nascence and also the cage as well, it doesnt open good on the backpack. Grindor has two shoulder rockets on each side. His eyes glow red in the right light. Theres a Decepticon symbol on his chest and backpack. the hands and arms have some good articulation. The legs are painted nicely with the gray, gold and black. His feet are huge but thats only because he has to carry the weight of his backpack.
Overall i rate this figure a 7 out of 10.
