Not the best photos in the world. Looking at these two here really has me doubting whether I could accept these as Frenzy and Rumble. That being said, they do look good together.

My thoughts exactly, especially since Gentei Wildrider is so expensive. Bring on a proper Classics Dead End!
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

Rumble and Frenzy do look good... and yet, NOTHING like the original robots. (even ignoring the alt mode.)

Very easy pass.

BUT Wildrider looks fanstastic... and his little elephant parter is worth the price by itself. FANTASTIC. Definitely getting that one. >:oP

Neither did these Rumbles, yet no one complained about them:

Why should looking GEEWUN matter for non-G1 characters?
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.

Two factors:

1) His Japanese name was Romanized as "Ramble"
2) His US name was Scrapmetal

These two made dismissing them a whole lot more acceptable :lol:

You're right. It doesn't matter... unless they want me to actually BUY them. Then it matters a little. Heh.

Those crane-bots just looked like they slapped the name on since they were about the same size... But with these, you can SEE there is a reference to the G1 characters. I just hate to see poorly executed homages, and where they pull from so many other influences besides Transformers. The face-chest is clearly ripping off other toy lines, which I hate to see. That dilutes the brand.

But again, just airing my own opinion. I respect that other people like them... and acknowledge that they're not intended to BE G1 cassette Rumble and Frenzy.

I just don't like them. (Insert Tard the Grumpy Cat image here.)

Cruddy low-res pictures, but the red one looks nice! Glad I preordered him. I just wish they came with the Hasbro weapons too. Silly that you have to buy both to get 1 set of piledrivers.

Wildrider looks good too but I don't really need him.

"Minelba", "Clerken", "Ultla Magnus", "Dai Atras", "Galaxyconvoy", "Firstaid", "Mastermegatron"; Engrish mistakes happen.
