Here's why they look the same size. Though Voyager Bulkhead is a big bulky dude, he does an excellent job at compacting his largeness into a neatly-fitted smaller altmode.Dagon wrote:Ok, but the picture shows Voyager and Deluxe Bulkhead, not Predaking and Smokescreen.
Personally, I prefer hot showers, but it does look that the vehicle modes of both of the figures pictured are quite near in size. Considering they're from two different size classes but look roughly the same from the side view at least, I'd say that's bad.
But, it may just be expansion due to the heat of my shower

The mod requires simply swapping the left foot with the right foot. It makes both figures have another difference from Hasbro's TFP Rumble and gets rid of that nasty looking pointed feet that just doesn't go well with a G1 Rumble and Frenzy homage whereas the squared off look appears almost like this was a planned part swap at some point. The figures transform just fine after the swap.

Funny how Frenzy's bio notes how he gets enraged off by folks mistaking him for Rumble (as a nod to Hasbro's Rumble being blue).

The first sentence looks okay, as it implies you prefer the cartoon's FIRRIB choice.
The second sentence, however, looks like your saying that the original toys and Japanese version also used FIRRIB like the cartoon, when they used RIRFIB instead.
The third sentence looks like you disapprove of the cartoon's use and any other use of FIRRIB, which contradicts the first sentence's liking FIRRIB.
I can tell that you are trying to make a very passionate and intelligent point here, but it's a bit lost in the confusion of this paragraph.

And good eye on the foot mod. Makes a world of difference.

US cartoon blue Rumble will always be Rumble to me even though I know his toy is reversed and that the cartoon is incorrect. It just works better that way since Rumble's got his piledrivers for "rumbling".
This could all be rectified by a simple fictional explanation that says that Rumble and Frenzy can switch colors to confuse the enemy or something silly.
Kudos to Takara for sticking to their guns on this release.

It's fun reading everyone's interpretations. Rumble is red, Frenzy is blue is my thing, but it's interesting to read other explanations for the opposite train of thought.
