What justice is there to do? The only ones that have been shown were Rumble, Frenzy, and Laserbeak, in War for Cybertron. Laserbeak resembles his video game counterpart fairly well, except for the wing shape. Rumble and Frenzy are a similar case. You have to make exceptions to figures when something that is 2 inches tall is designed to transform.

We've never even seen Ravage in the Aligned Community (WFC/FOC+Prime), so who knows if he looks accurate or not.

You can defend them as much as you want, but they are garbage.

You make it sound like you were there in person and held them in your hand. The figures aren't even out yet, and quite a few of the figures that were on display were mistransformed (looking at you, Insecticon!). I happen to love the Aligned continuity, ESPECIALLY the War for Cybertron game. To me, these figures are the perfect balance of accuracy and size limitations.

Either way, I'm going to reserve judgment until we get some in hand images, so Rumble (or is that Frenzy?) isn't just standing upright with arms to the side.

Because other people's opinions can't be diffeent than your own?

I like the designs too. Buy on sight for me, all of them.

I hope there are more upscaled figures besides SW and bruticus. It'd be kinda weird for SW to be bigger than Prime AND Megs. Here's hoping for voyager dinobots!

The hasbro panel was pretty mute when someone mentioned dinobots. They gave their usual "Stay tuned" answer ~shakes fist at aaron archer~:P We could see a big grimlock but the rest , if they do in fact get made, Will more than likely be deluxe.. They've already more than tripled the figure output of the 1st game so it will be intresting to see if the Dbots do get a gren light.~ crosses fingers for swoop~

I'm personally hoping for Snarl and Sludge. Poor bastards haven't had a toy since their original G1 molds. I'm hoping at least Sludge to be Voyager though, but I'll be happy if he's released at all.

Depends what you mean. There was a 'Snarl' in Beast Machines (toy-wise anyway), and A 'Snarl' in Animated.

And there were a bunch of Armada Walmart Exclusive two-packs that had the dinobots in them. Snarl was in there from BW, BW2 mold (or neo), I'm not good with my BW.

Speaking of BW, the Snarl name also was used for like a badger, or some such small, mean mammal, I think. Again, not great with my BW stuff.

And there was a justitoys re-release of the G1, albeit shrunk and unofficial.

Well since we're on the topic of G1/FoC Dinobots in their classic silver transmetal forms, I think you know what I mean.

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys think of the Prime Rumble?

I like it. I'm gonna pick it up and the inevitable Frenzy repaint. I do like when the Casseticons (I guess they're Minicons now, huh?) get sized-up figures, like the alternaters cars and the generations tanks.

They're way too small to be Minicons, if my math is accurate.

Edit: At least the FoC toy incarnations. The Ravage that came with Universe Hound is Minicon sized though.
