The Planet Iacon Facebook page has shared a few images of the recently released Takara Tomy Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-30 Rumble, AM-31 Frenzy, and AM-32 Wild Rider. Check out the images mirrored below.

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.

Ok, im sold on Wildrider. May even put him with my Classics.

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

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.

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



Why should looking GEEWUN matter for non-G1 characters?

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

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.

1) His Japanese name was Romanized as "Ramble"

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