Auction site Yahoo!Japan has come through again with in package shots of two upcoming Reveal the Shield Scouts, Demolition Rumble and Downshift.

TFW2005 has pictures of RtS Scout Class Demolition Rumble and Downshift, a redeco of Hubcap whom I am not sure we had known about before. Here are the pictures:


I had already been planning to get both Rumble and Frenzy, and this Downshift figure looks good too. I had been hoping for a redeco like that, which was partly why I passed up Hubcap.

woah i have never seen the hubcap redeco but im guessing im gonna like this one classic black car with flames hell yeah

Ooh. Very glad I passed up Hubcap. Me likey.

Meh on Rumble. Might have to wait until I see him in person.

Definitely getting both of these guys. And the repaints that should be showing up pretty soon. I find it highly humorous that on the back of Downshift's box it says to rub the rubsign & on Rumble's it says press to activate rubsign.

Oh man.... the arms really DO convert to piledrivers. FINALLY I'll have the Rumble I always wanted!

downshift looks awesomeeeeeeeeeeee

rumbleeee i'll wait til i c him


should i buy hubcap i wonder after seeing downshift

Holy crap! Downshift's alt mode is tEh sEcKs!! That is beautiful! Only downside is that it is molded plastic...could you imagine if that was a glossy black finish with chrome bumpers, grating, and headlights?

OMP (oh my prime) those thing are amazing. Loving downshift but I’m thinking big daddy for him. Rumble spectacular I thought these guys were going to be voyager class.
But they will fit in according to size

its hard to tell from picture looks like downshift has new head

same head, took out a magnafing glass and hubcap to compare.

this might be off topi, so in advanced sorry, but iwas wondering if i should buy gen. Thunderwing. because i found 3 at a target but passed an got leader ss. should i go to the target and buy twing?

I will be owning both of these. Downshift looks too nice not to be owned, Rumble looks good aswell.

I couldn't remember if we had seen Downshift before. Once again I prefer the repaint over the original. Well played Hasbro, well played.

Awesome, Rumble & Frenzy are Scouts. They will definitely be added to my collection. Actually, I'm going to wait for 'Frenzy', since I collect the red one. :p

Depends...do you especially like the way he looks or buy for display and he fills a "need" in your collection? If so, yes. If not, then don't bother as he's not much fun...unless you like 3 step transformations.

definately gonna get rumble if i ever see these scouts come my way.
im also liking downshift though. hubcap is certainly one of the best scouts ever.
anyone else feeling the armada mini-con race team downshift colour vibe here? he's yello black and blue. i must say i was expecting white, what with the abundance of G1 homages nowadays. but its cool to see an old name fit to a new character. i suppose there isnt gonna be a movieverse downshift any other way.

Downshift can stay right on the pegs but I will be grabbing Rumble.

These both shall be mine!
I already have hubcap, but since the mold was fantastic i will be glad to pick up downshift!
Rumble looks good too!

I almost never buy scouts at all. Rumble, however, will most definitely be mine.

I'm definitely getting this Frenzy Rumble. He looks so cool!

I shall be purchasing Rumble (& Frenzy). Oh yes, I shall!

Not a fan of the Hubcap mold, so probably won't be picking up Downshift, either.

And is it me, or is DS in European packaging? If so, does that mean they're dropping the tech specs from the Euro cards?

Oh yeah, in response to Godzillabot's question, it was originally rumoured that Frenzy & Rumble were gonna be around Delux-class with some sort of combination gimick (probably the vehicles combining into a larger tank), but sold together at Voyager price-point, along the lines of the Animated Jet-twins. The combination, as far as I know, is yet to be confirmed.

This way, we seem to be getting a better deal (price of 2x Scouts < 1x Voyager), although us Europeans tend to get nerfed on releases of later waves in each range, so here's to hoping that Frenzy will be in wave 2 or 3!

Could somebody remind me again just which corporate dumbass it was that thought putting the RTS gimmick on a toy and then packaging it with a huge freaking Faction Logo on the back was a good idea?? Morons...

Yes, I know! It very much defeats the purpose of the promotion to put the allegiance on the back of the card. I was actually looking forward to discovering the faction after I bought the toy for characters that I wasn't familiar with.
