DO IT HASBRO!!!

That's what Throttler is for! Of course now I want a second one. xD Maybe I'll get lucky like I did with Huffer and Caliburst (bought them for about $3 shipped with a few other things).

Rumble is a Transformer! Frenzy is also a Transformer!
(every time someone argues about what colour they are a protoform dies)

Dead End looks amazing. Yes, he's horribly coloured, but I think that's the point. He's my pre/post- BW Waspinator. The head works and he even has a nice green Decepticon symbol on him, which is probably the closest Hasbro is going to get to a Predacon one.

The Bumblebee repaint doesn't look particularly bad, but...it's a Bumblebee repaint, and missing the charming new head that made Hot Shot look good.

I'll probably get Airachnid. Seeing more and more pics I'm certainly less enthused than I was when I heard she was getting a toy, but like Dead End, she can be my stand-in for a vehicle mode Beast Wars character, in this case: Blackarachnia.

I like the Kup mold, but not as Kup, and honestly, not really as Iron Hide either. I do sort of like how the Cyberverse version is black and red, mixing the two more popular versions of the character, but either colourscheme in this deluxe will just be a duplicate that I don't need. A Turbomaster Scorch repaint would have been pre-ordered quickly.

Finally, the toy named Rumble. He looks quite goofy. Definitely be renaming him if I get him, maybe Crankcase? The head-chest makes me think of a Pretender for some reason, but all the blue guys were underwater ones...hmm?

If Hasbro wanted to go REALLY nuts with mass-release versions of obscure Botcon characters, he could also be repainted into a great Turbomaster/Scorch.

Scorch was not a Botcon-only character... he was a turbomaster from G1...

I know, I just worded that horribly while half asleep, hoping Flamewar had started the trend again. Thanks for correcting.


And for the record, I'm unwaveringly RIR,FIB, because blue Frenzies are the ones with unique tech spec powers instead of Rumble's leftovers.

Also agree with whoever said he looks Gurren Lagan-ish, an inevitable result of chest-face designs getting less subtle.

Hot damn! New reveals!

I like Kup. I was hoping to see him first as Ironhide, but I'll buy a Kup.

Same goes for Rumble. I wanted him red, but okay.

Airachnid I already decided I'm getting.

I refuse to buy Bumblebees unless absolutely necessary. And this is not necessary.

Dead End I'll pass on just because I have no interest. He doesn't really resemble previous Dead Ends.

That should be Ironhide not Kup, looks like a great mold but id rather have it as Ironhide. That is the worst rumble ive ever seen, but at least hes blue like he should be. All of these are easy passes.

So do brain cells.

Seriously, it is one the stupidest things I've come across in the fandom. Hasbro says one thing, the G1 show said another, the comics yet another. Instead of letting the so called "official" sources decide, how about people use their imagination and let it be who they want it to be?

This thread is meant to be a showcase of Hasbro's upcoming offerings. Not a discussion about RIFFRAFF, RAZAFRACKIN or whatever they want to call it.

EXACTLY. Especialy since rumble is neither blue, nor red, but a purpleish color.

people...people.......your missing the point. he has gatling guns....for HANDS!!!!!!!!!!! this epicosity has been brought to you by Hasbro.

ps.

Dont know if this has been mentioned because i felt my IQ actively dropping while reading some of the who is which colour arguments. Heres my 50 cents

IT DOESNT MATTER. THIS ISNT G1, HE'S NOT A CASSETTE, HE'S NOT THE SAME CHARACTER

Utterly irrelevant argument to the matter at hand. Seriously, let it go. If rumble is red to you and it REALLY matters, CALL HIM FRENZY! or buy a sharpie lol

PS: the gattling guns are weapons, not his arms, they clip outside the car like all the other accessories so im hoping they fit over the hands like FE Primes rifle

On topic, i love all of these including (god forgive me) bumblebee. Should be getting my hands on wave 4 fig's in the next week or two once kapow gets them in. As much as i want an Ironhide, im a kup fanboy and id rather have him, despite it blatantly being a green Ironhide. In my head he's kind of a hybrid, a senile old drill sgt that taught Bulkhead. and in my head that sounds cool

For what its worth. Rumble was blue in WFC, so at least hasbro is keeping it consistant in this universe (even if its accedently)

I'm looking at you, IDW
