I know Takara Tomy was relocating at least a portion of their manufacturing to Vietnam, but I'm unsure where they are in this process (or where they were when the First Edition toys were made, which could have been a fair amount of time ago).

While many of the Japanese releases from United and DOTM lines have "Made in Vietnam" stamped on them, the Takara First Edition Prime figures are all marked "Made in China." I think you may be on to something here...

Thanks for that info. I didn't think to check the packaging of mine before I discarded it.

As many of you already knew, Rumble was originally a cassette in G1, and his gimmick is that of a young street tough. When he destroys his enemies, he uses earthquake as his main weapons. Now that I'm glad to hear that Rumble is going to be in the Prime line, I'm almost certain that he won't be a cassette, since that he will be a Revealer/Deluxe, but a vehicle instead. If Rumble is a vehicle in the Prime series, will he be a car, truck, jeep, etc.? Will this version of Rumble will be a toy-only character, or will he be both toy and show character? Will he retain his street tough gimmick, just like he did in G1? And will he use his earthquake power again in the Prime series, or will he use a completely different weapon?

Oh, you're back.

Though, Rumble better be purple/blue to match his color scheme from the ancient past. Aligned Rumble and Frenzy current follow FIRRIB. No need to to make it confusing by changing this set up.

Sabrblade, that may be true. But you still didn't answer my question yet. Will Prime Revealers Rumble finally have vehicle mode, and not a cassette as he was back in G1, sine Revealer is a Deluxe? If so, will he be a car, truck, jeep, suv, plane, etc.? Will he be a toy-only character, or will he be both toy and show character together?

Oh Primus, NOBODY KNOWS THAT YET! It'd be on the front page if it WAS known, dontya think?

Did you not see those pictures I answered with? We don't know. You always ask questions that have no answers.

Actually, he asked a question that you don't know the answer to. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who do know the answer to his question, they just haven't shared the information anywhere you have access to at this point....

He asked memebers of the general fandom, and the general fandom doesn't know since this is the first ever hearing of there even being a Prime Rumble. All the fandom has to go by is a name with no visuals.

This isn't the first time psj333 has asked these kinds of questions. Look through his posts. They're littered with all kinds of questions that were unanswerable at the time when each was written.

you still haven't answered his question yet though.
