PerfectEffect, the unofficial 3rd party company known for their "Shadow Warrior", aka "Not-Frenzy/Rumble", has released new images of their upcoming set named Ejector/Rewinder on their blog. For collectors these will simply be called Classics Eject/Rewind, or for those with a humours touch "Not-Eject and Not-Rewind".

We have mirrored some of the images, if you wish to see all simply click here, but it is in Japanese.

Very nice..

It looks like the two-pack comes with a backpack attachment for City Commander that relocates his shoulder missile packs to his back. WIN.

I have no interest in the figures and how they mate up with UM... but as standalone figures I am very excited. With DL and ML Blaster and soundwave, plus the other PE Frenzy/Rumble... my cassette team is fleshing itself out.

Since I have no interest in their cassette modes, and wasn't impressed with Hasbro's Frenzy/Rumble so far... I plan to get these. Its too bad they are so much $.

They look great, although their faces seem rather un-detailed.

They did a better job of making them G1 accurate then the did with frenzy and rumble. Too bad we cant get a real classics Blaster to go with them. I hate that USB device label thing that looks like a transforming refrigerator from behind

Lookin' good, but too expensive for me.

The face seems to have no detail at all. Hopefully, Ninja has eyes atleast. Other than that, they are looking pretty good.

There's detail there, I can see an angled visor and a chin. It's hard to make out as it is the same colour red as the face itself, which is entirely comprised of a face plate. Maybe try adjusting your monitor settings if you are unable to make it out.


If you look at your G1 rewind/eject, this is what it is meant to look like. The chin is a new, but welcome, detail.

Very G1 accurate, and very impressive when you consider these are smaller than their G1 counterparts.

Here's a reference, from Seibertron's very own galleries:



Anyway, Not Frenzy/Rumble were great little figures, I'll be picking these guys up and not-Rosanna too

Oh, I see. You are correct Oilspill. Thank you for pointing that out. It was hard to notice on my cell phone.

Who, other than Magnus there, can wield these? If I got one of these I'd like to know which of my large figures could use them since I have no desire to own that Magnus figure.

I think I prefer the Frenzy and Rumble figures just for their more independent altforms.

I suppose they would have the 5mm hand peg, so any of the larger figures should be able to carry them

If they use the same peg that they did on the Rumble/Frenzy mold, any 5mm hole should work. Hahaha

Wow, I am very impressed with these little guys. Robot mode is very G1 accurate and I love the weapons on them too. True the weapons are not G1 accurate but the ones with the G1 toy were stupid, non weapons. Now they look like they can kick some cassette bot ass. I'm one of the people who love the PE Rumble/Frenzy so I will definitly be picking these up.

Not just larger figures can weild them. Since there is a picture of City Commander weilding them, it suggests to me they are using the same sized pegs as R/F. As you can see here, WfC Soundwave can use them as dual Targetmasters, so anything with the standard 5mm hand hole will be able to weild Eject/Rewind.

Have you actually seen DL Blaster in person before? I have him and I am very impressed with it. It is a great addition to my Classics collection.

If the offical names for PE's Ejector and Rewinder is "Ejector" and "Rewinder"...

then there are some legal issues.

Case in point, Beast wars Ejector.

Lets hope its Ninja and whatever the other is.

Thanks. I probably still won't get them but it's nice to know. They look somewhat big on Soundwave there.

I have recently and I still say it looks awful. Lame alt-mode and a really poor robot mode (mainly due to the ugly laptop kibble). Come on Hasbro (or even one of the third party companies though that will make it awkward to get and expensive), give us a PROPER updated Blaster figure and maybe Steeljaw possibly based on the Universe Ravage concept that came with Hound. Marvel US Comic Blaster is one of my all time fave TF characters and in my opinion he still doesn't have a toy that does him any justice at all (and maybe have a lil circular bit on his back to slot his gun on via the hole in the middle of the gun so you can have it stuck on the back like he stores it in the comics). The original figure's shortcomings are forgivable due to the age of it.

If someone made a refrigerator transformer, I'd be ALL over that. Enough with all the tanks and airplanes; bring on more appliances!

pre-orders anywhere yet?

i'm gonna go a different route with this release and buy the Rosanna/Ninja figure.

I like the odd/bright color scheme for her and i'm not really wanting to drop large money for both Ejector and Rewinder albeit they are fantastic figures, i already own the G1's but i don't own a Rosanna.

Plus i don't have any "femmebots" in my collection so that also makes her the more attractive of the three for purchase in my opinion.

I never seen it in person only in pics. i agree the front side of DL Blaster is beautiful and very G1. but when I saw how the back of the robot looked i almost puked.

My thing is i hate gimmicks being incorparated into figures because you have to sacrafice too much in robot mode to incorparate the gimmick. On this website people like to refer to it as "kibble". Imagine how much cooler they could have made Blaster as a display piece if they scrapped the idea of making him transform into a working electronic device altogether ??? By todays standards that is a huge USB hub the size of a small laptop. Kind of like using a 1980's cellphone today, thus making his alt mode a waste and the back of his robot mode an eyesore...

The pictures of DL Blaster are very misleading, just like Alternity Bumblebee and Cliffjumper's chest. He is only the size of a large Deluxe/small Voyager. In fact, he is only a hair taller than Universe Cyclonus. Alt mode is not much bigger than a Nintendo DS Lite, not a small laptop:



I do agree that there was no need to make it a working USB hub, the same as the other DL's like Ravage. I will never buy the Grimlock/Trypticon mold, damn those are awful. Even ML Soundwave didn't need to be a working MP3 player. Does anyone actually use him for that purpose? ML Soundwave is of course probably the best looking incarnation of G1 Soundwave (it looks even better with the sticker set from Reprolabels). If you keep the arm panels flush on the back and slightly raise the middle panel, it doesn't look bad at all. There have been worse Transformers for back kibble (Movie Voyager Optimus Prime and Energon Barricade spring to mind). As for display purposes, how many of your Transformers do you display with their backs facing the front? I am not trying to criticize your opinion as we are all entitled to our own, who am I to force my opinion?

Back on topic, I should have taken the pics using Blaster. As you can see, the gun modes of Rumble/Frenzy look pretty good with him. The pegs are a tad loose in his fists but they still hold well. Eject/Rewind will look good in DL Blasters hands or standing with him.
