Transformers Takara Tomy Missing Link Grimlock (Anime Type) Debuts 

Clear some space as Hasbro has unveiled some new Transformers Takara Tomy figures are importing in from Japan for 2026 

Hasbro has just unveiled its next Transformers Takara Tomy release with the  Missing Link C-13 Grimlock (Anime Type). The Missing Link series reimagines classic Generation 1 figures with modern articulation while staying true to their original 1980s design and die-cast feel. Grimlock is now back with a new figure that comes in at 5.7" tall and can transform into his iconic mechanical Tyrannosaurus rex mode. This figure closely matches his animation model from the original cartoon, with cartoon-accurate colors. This includes a brighter metallic gray body, a red Autobot insignia, and weapons right off the screen.

Unlike the vintage G1 release, this new Transformers Grimlock figure offers improved poseability in the arms, legs, and waist, allowing for Transformers fans to capture even more dynamic stances. This new Takara Tomy release will also include a miniature human figure that fits in the cockpit, along with his sword, a laser blaster, and a missile launcher. Collectors can also expect Grimlock to be featured in original packaging,  with Japanese-language instructions, and a Japanese-language collector card. Pre-orders for this iconic Transformers Dinobot are already live on Hasbro Pulse for $124.99 with an August 2026 release.
