Function: ProtoformX Field Commander/Combat Strategist/Veteran Warrior

"Strategy is the key... and the lock... and the door."

Caught in an Energon explosion while battling Rampage, Grimlock's spark and structure mutated due to radiation given off by the Energon and Rampage's ProtoformX spark. Now, Grimlock possesses attributes similar to that of Rampage: the ability to regenerate when damaged, increased speed, strength, intelligence and reflexes, and most importantly, an immortal Spark. Grimlock's role in the Beast Wars has been tremendous, plotting victory after victory in the Maximal's struggle against the Predacons. Grimlock was fearless before, but with his regeneration power, he keeps pushing the limits, always willing to draw enemy fire and get into the heat of action head first, relishing in the thrill of cross fire and melee combat. In beast mode, his enhanced velociraptor form can achieve speeds of 100km/h after sprinting for 3 seconds. His sickle shaped talons rip through metal plating as if it were air while his teeth saw away Predacons who think they have a limb or two to spare. In robot mode, Grimlock wields more firepower than even Optimal Optimus, packing a shoulder mounted anti-matter blaster that can fire plasma and photon projectiles as well and a pulse laser rifle that delivers up to 75 modulated pulses of concentrated light energy at a target every second, able to compete with one of Rhinox's chain guns for the first place as the highest number of projectiles fired per second. In a melee situation, Grimlock is armed with his talons along with a nasty surprise: a scythe which has a blade of pure Energon triggered by a flick of a switch. Grimlock's weapons may come at a high cost of Energon, but his Spark produces immense amounts of energy which he uses through Spark crystals located in each weapon, ensuring no chance of power failure during battle. A fanatic to the Maximal cause, Grimlock will stop at nothing to ensure the survival of his Maximal brethren and the destruction to those who threaten them.



WEAPONS

Powered by Grimlock's very Spark, this cannon harnesses the raw energy of the ProtoformX mutation by firing devestating balls of anti-matter. It also can fire plasma bolts and photon blasts.
However, it generates immense heat after repeated fire.
This light pulse laser rifle has a limited range of 400m but it can deliver modulated pulses of laser fire at incredible speeds. Grimlock's enhanced targetting system can use this weapon to hit even a nail at its maximum range. By firing at up to 75 pulses per second, this weapon delivers light damage but accumulates in a short time. Also can be used as a spotting device for artillery or missile strikes as well as a cutting laser.
By far the most destructive melee weapon in the Beast Wars, this Spark crystal powered scythe features a blade made of pure Energon that slices metal like a knife through air. Requiring almost nil strength to cut through a 32 inch thick wall of steel, this weapon has earned Grimlock the nickname as the Grim Reaper of the battlefield.
