Now I'm trying to think if ...Makes sense to me. Now I'm trying to think if Grimlock's "speech impediment" was ever explained in any core continuity. Obviously in Sunbow, all the Dinobots spoke that way. I recall in Marvel, they all had normal speech patterns at first, but Grimlock later gained the primitive speech somewhere around the twenties, presumably to bring his comic book persona in line with the more widely known cartoon. I don't think this was ever explained in the U.S. comics, though Furman might have touched on it in a U.K. story.<br /><br />More recently, I believe Grimlock had normal speech in IDW, at lest when I stopped reading circa the MAXIMUM DINOBOTS mini-series. I don't know if things have changed since then, but it wouldn't surprise me if IDW also switched to the more recognizable primitive style at some point.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-66880527185627220542016-11-04T18:46:46.160-07:002016-11-04T18:46:46.160-07:00"Jetfire recalls his and Grimlock's time ..."Jetfire recalls his and Grimlock's time as Decepticons and mentions a "cerebro-shell incident" best left forgotten."<br />I remember back in the day wondering if this might be the cause of Grimlock's odd speech pattern, like Jetfire attempted some sort of check-up on him and damaged whatever part of his programming/brains that controlled his speechAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
