Seibertron member Roddy let us know that site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store have posted images of Transformers United Wheeljack and Rumble/Frenzy. At this time, Wheeljack is just a prototype and only one of the Rumble/Frenzy pair is pictured (you know the debate). Click on the images below to be taken to their listings.

That is so Wheeljack, he is so mine. And why do I get the sneaky suspicion that Frenzy and Rumble are just repaints of eachother, don't combine at all, and will be released without saying which is which?

News Credits: 16 · Thu Oct 14, 2010 7:52 am

Oh nice! They made some serious changes to the Tracks mold.

I was just about to post this, thanks RC13!

I like both of them.. I will go into more detail when I can (dealing with customers)..

News Credits: 16 · Thu Oct 14, 2010 8:00 am

Two more.

I'm going to need a ton of buckets...

So... Frenzy and Rumble will BOTH be blue???
That 'll be interesting for the FIR RIB / FIB RIR discussion.
I'm liking Scourge and OP too!

THIS THIS AND I LOVE IT SOOOOOO MUCH

yeah its a bummer that they don't look like they're gonna combine but its still gonna be pretty awesome to have two similar tanks roving around my shelves.

and also. weve gotta take into account how weird a tank would look if it were half red and half blue...

im excited

Adding to the images of Wheeljack and Rumble/Frenzy we just posted, Seibertronian It Is Him just found two more images. This time of Transformers United/Generations Scourge and G2 Laser Prime! Check out the red claws on Scourge!

Also of note, Big Bad Toy Store has posted images for all of their Transformers United figures. Click here to see them!

G1 Wheeljack was my very first Transformer (I was / am a big Lancia Stratos fan) followed by Soundwave (never got Rumble and Frenzy) so I am thrilled. Can't wait for these along with most of the G1-inspired releases. Kup, Tracks, Scourge, etc will fill a lot of holes in my collection. Thanks Hasbro for giving me a second chance

Okay let me get this straight:
Blurr, Kup, Tracks, Jazz, G2 Optimus, Perceptor, Lugnut, Scourge, Wreck Gar, Thunderwing, Grapple, Windcharger and Rumble & Frenzy are all coming out in the next 6-9 months on top of MP Rodimus and the Protector.

My wife is going to leave me over all this!

Damn the Rumble sucks !!! It seems nobody can get him right. The 3rd party one was so damn small and now this ??? Those Crazy Devy upgrades are not looking so bad anymore...

News Credits: 1 · Thu Oct 14, 2010 8:15 am

definately sexiness here. Blue tapeguy has hands I notice, so I wonder if red will have Piledrivers or if there's an alternate transformation for there arms.

I'm also a little concerned we won't get an awesome RiD Scourge repaint out of that G2 Prime figure since the original nameholder is also in the line.

It's going to be a great year!

I'm liking the look of Wheeljack - everyone who complained that they couldn't make a good Wheeljack figure from the Tracks mold can sit down and be quiet now. :-$

Superb!!

I also like the look of Frenzy actually, well his robot mode looks quite good anyway. :-?

Scourge looks much better than the original pic we saw.

Now the only figure we haven't seen yet is Reflector...... :shock:

Looking forward to seeing Wheeljack's paint mode, the car looks sweet!!

RID SCOURGE REPAINT NOW. Please please please please please!!!!!!!!!

RID scourge is still my favorite TF after all these years. If they somehow managed to top him... :BOOM:

Thu Oct 14, 2010 8:20 am

I think Scourge will look great next to Universe Cyclonus. Unfortunately in the Western New York area we haven't gotten past wave 1 yet of Generations & HFTD. I finally managed to find a single Darkmount the other day at a Target. Oh & there was a Tuner Skids there too :-(

Scourge is a bit dissappointing. They really clipped his wings just to give him that damn "flying wing" mold. Why do they always have to create some kind of a new modern twist ??? They kept Cyclonus's jet mode fairly G1 accurate. Why did they have to mess with Scourge ??? They should have made him transform into the boat shaped hoverplane we all love. Something like Seaspray without propellers. I understand the need to not make toys transform into cassette decks, cannons and microscopes for kids to have more fun, but I honestly think Scourge's G1 vechicle mode was fine. Plus his legs seem kinda small making him look top heavy. Maybe its just the photo angle.

Impossible Toys...hear my call and give us a G1 accurate Scourge !!!

Wow, that new G2 Laser Rod Optimus Prime looks amazing! Well, looks like I've got another Optimus to add to my my rather large and ever growing collection of Optimus Primes! :lol:

Sure we will, he will just be called Nemesis Prime.

So I wonder what the release date for the Hasbro versions of Kup, Scourge, Wheeljack, Wreckgar, G2 Prime, Perceptor, and Rumble/Frenzy will be.

I sure hope they do. Only problem will be where to display my Alternity Black Convoy. But of course I still hope they do a Nemesis Prime.

This line is amazing. I haven't wanted so much of a line since...well, Classics & Universe. :lol:

I wasn't expecting such an extensive remold for Wheeljack, I'm pleasantly surprised. Rumble & Frenzy look cool, if a little large to go with any version of Soundwave. Scourge looks MUCH better than the original pics would have us believe. An easy buy. Now that means I have to track down the Botcon version eventually though...
