The T Rex was Grimlock.
Putting alot of things in prespective, there is more then just making a model
of either the car or robot. I can't recall or find anyone who has done the deed
of a Transformer converted to Lego. If anyone is out there let me know;)
Maybe one of those WOW, that's %$#^%@#$ awsome! heheh We shall see!

We shall see, I suggested Jazz because I thought that was the best one. I
