Ryan's been at it again. This time he brings us a beautiful gallery of Alternator Rumble. You can view the figure in an exciting 116 picture gallery here.

What state is Rumble's license plate? I can't quite make it out.

Well I didn't think they could pull it off but they did.

That's OK ... there's a lot of pictures in the gallery. I'm curious if the foreign versions have foreign plates or if they get the State plates. Ravage has a British license plate. I wonder if the U.S. version will have it.

I've been wondering the same. Hopefully, I'll know soon. I've been itching for these. Almost enough to pay the $30-$40 on eBay.

Nice job with the photographs. What's your impression of the mold, Ryan? Some of the designs pay some great homage to the G1 character such as the coloring and pile drivers. However, from all the pictures that I have seen so far, his legs and arms seem misproportioned. Is that the case?

Nemesis Prime was #24. So how come Rumble is #24 too?

Nemesis Prime was a Sandiego Comic Con Exclusive and therefor not a normal Altenrator release, meaning it wasnt sold in retail stores.

And welcome to Seiberton.com AngelMagnus! Enjoy your stay and beware of all the "nuts".

Great gallery as usual Ryan.

My biggest gripe is that he doesn't have hands. I thought that was a major bummer that they couldn't figure out a way to rotate the piledrivers back into the car and swap out a set of hands. That would have been very, very cool.

The piledrivers don't seem to lock into place once they're deployed. Maybe it was just mine or maybe I was doing something wrong.

While I have several minor complaints about Rumble, for whatever reason, he and the newest Ravage are my current 2 favorite Alternator molds. I think it has something to do with the fact that the molds are so different than any of the other Alternators. Plus it's cool to have such large and awesome versions of two of my favorite G1 characters.

To those of you who have complained about his blue nose ... I completely agree that it looks stupid. Not quite sure what they're thinking when they decide to color their noses a different color than the face.

If that was the case, he really shouldn't have had any number then, rather than an incorrect one. Binaltech Black Convoy was even more exclusive but holds his BT-17 designation.

Except he was actually not an SDCC convention exclusive; he was an HTS exclusive, introed at SDCC. He's available through some online retailers (Case Fresh in Australia still seems to have not sold out), and still appears in Hasbro's catalogue.
