At the rate we're going, Deluxes will be about the size of Scouts in a year or two anyway:

Not if it matches the Cyberverse version:
Nice, I'd love a bigger version of that!
Edit: Waitaminute...I'm seeing similarities with movie Ironhide there. I really hope he's more of a G1 homage. If they want to give him the character of Bayverse 'Hide, okay, just as long as he's red.
Aside from the realy dumb ways Hasbro is handling it, this is still shaping up to be a really great line. The only ones I'm really unimpressed by so far are Powerizer Prime & Revealer Ratchet. I don't know where I'm going to find the space to display them all!
I don't remember where I initially saw a picture of the slide, but I found this one to repost the picture using Google image search. I believe this was taken at Hasbro's presentation at last year's NYCC, though it might have been at SDCC or Botcon.Hypershock wrote:Whered you find these images, 'hides my favorite

If you look at the pre-image of skyquakes voyager, his cockpit piece is clear (of course) and it looks like part of his forearms are translucent plastic as well

metaphorge wrote:My United Jazz is making FE Cliffjumper look tiny when they're parked side-by-side. I should pull out Cybertron Overdrive or his Big Daddy repaint for the sake of comparison, since their alt-modes are a similar type of car as Cliffjumper's.
As I asked elsewhere, has anyone done a comparison of the total number of parts between a First Edition and a Robots in Disguise version? I don't have any RID in hand, but it looks like they have a lower part count, which would cut assembly time and thus cut labor costs, which have what has been ballooning at a high rate of speed.craggy wrote:the only reason I can think is that maybe the FE molds are too expensive to keep making? Maybe someone at Hasbro made a mistake, and everyone else down the line went with it, until eventually someone said "hey, wait a minute, these are costing us $2 to make here, we can't afford these! hey, hey, jimmy, go get me some stripped down, cut up and nonsensical versions of these guys, quick!"
Yes, that's what I meant. I always did get my Omnibots confused....waaaaghlord wrote:metaphorge wrote:Cybertron Overdrive
Downshift?

I know Takara Tomy was relocating at least a portion of their manufacturing to Vietnam, but I'm unsure where they are in this process (or where they were when the First Edition toys were made, which could have been a fair amount of time ago).

While many of the Japanese releases from United and DOTM lines have "Made in Vietnam" stamped on them, the Takara First Edition Prime figures are all marked "Made in China." I think you may be on to something here...

When he destroys his enemies, he uses earthquake as his main weapons. Now that I'm glad to hear that Rumble is going to be in the Prime line, I'm almost certain that he won't be a cassette, since that he will be a Revealer/Deluxe, but a vehicle instead. If Rumble is a vehicle in the Prime series, will he be a car, truck, jeep, etc.? Will this version of Rumble will be a toy-only character, or will he be both toy and show character? Will he retain his street tough gimmick, just like he did in G1? And will he use his earthquake power again in the Prime series, or will he use a completely different weapon?

He asked memebers of the general fandom, and the general fandom doesn't know since this is the first ever hearing of there even being a Prime Rumble. All the fandom has to go by is a name with no visuals.metaphorge wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Did you not see those pictures I answered with? We don't know.

Actually, he asked a question that you don't know the answer to. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who do know the answer to his question, they just haven't shared the information anywhere you have access to at this point....
