This discussion is nice and all, but I posted this topic to ask you if you liked the Black incarnation of Mr. Grimm. I don't even think this website accepts TM3 and 4 as part of the official series. Even the Twisted Metal brainchilds agree that they are not canon.
I was one of the TMA originals who agreed that TMIII and TM4 weren't "canon" and enforced that rule for years, and also signed a petition way back in the day to get TM out of 989's hands. That being said, we are past the time in which it needs to be said that those games don't count, it's already well established, and we're free to discuss them. Currently, Twisted Metal is in a coma, so any kind of discussion about any of the games, canon or not, should be encouraged.
As for TMB Mr. Grimm - of course I liked the character. His story was well told, and his Vietnam experience was bad as anything I saw in Full Metal Jacket. The ending felt a bit censored though. The design of the skull helmet was very unique for the character, although this was the first human incarnation of Mr. Grimm, and I'm not sure in retrospect I agree with the idea of humanizing Mr. Grimm. I still think TM2 has the best Mr. Grimm.
