Thanks for the help there, RD. I just credited TFW05 since that's where I saw it and didn't want to take credit where it wasn't due.

Not really all that excited about the Shadow Commander add-on aspect, but it appears that he will fit into a standard size peg hole in alt mode. That I am excited about, when they release the figure in Frenzy and Rumble colors they will fit nicely into my classics collection. Repurposing them as target-masters seems like a pretty good idea, and they have pile-drivers!

Interesting, then maybe they'll be sold in packs of two? It would seem like they're forcing us to get two if we want them to aid Shadow Commander as indicated.

it would seem so.

I still would perfer to see the proper colors but if the cost is low, I might grab him just for my Scourge.

They plan on releasing four versions, I'm confident that Rumble and Frenzy decos will be among them.

No. It's called copyright. This company isn't stupid enough to get fried for so or so million by Hasbro because they want noob fans to know it's Rumble. We know it's Rumble, it doesn't matter what the product says it's name is.

What he said, and this little guy bares a striking resemblance to a the character featured in FP's Shadow Commander's package art. They also show him paired up with Shadow Commander, hence this deco is call Shadow Warrior. When and if they release this guy in Rumble/Frenzy decos (which I'm sure they will) I doubt they will be careless enought to actually call them Rumble/Frenzy.

Copyright is so annoying. Remember the first WST Dinobot was called Snarl. They got into trouble and had to call them all Dinorobots Commander, Flamethrower etc. Then the Fansproject City Commander not Ultra Magnus and the DIA Commander for Powered Convoy. At least this way they can avoid all the trouble.

Back on topic, I look forward to getting these little guys. Might not get this one as I don't have Shadow Commander though. Prices please.

Pretty sweet. I'm definitely intrigued, but cost is going to be an issue, I think. The price on those God Swords is making me nervous.

Haw, Rumble as a dual chain gun, I love it! He would actually look pretty good with Universe Onslaught too when you think about it, because all he has at the moment is that little arm gun.

Oh, I get it! It's like those shoulder cannons that Powermaster Optimus Prime and Super Ginrai have. :mrgreen:

I love them, must must must have for Shadow Commander. Looking at the Chain Gun Barrels/Pile Drives, it looks like there's a groove and switch set. I wonder if they are like that to give the compacting ability or if they are going to put in springs and give them some recoil action.

Same here. I'd be more interested in targetmaster-ed Rumble and Frenzy versions than I am the 'Shadow Warrior'.

I understand your point....

But instead of suing, Hasbro should hire these guys !!! Replace their tired old staff thats too scared to copy the henkei paint schemes and sell em in America. Seriously those guys should be flipping burgers and the creators of this "shadow warrior" should be on the Hasbro production team.

I gotta say, I'm not fond of this.

So far this is a pass for me.

So Rumble is going to be a Targetmaster now? :-? I guess that seems acceptable.

At least we know there'll be red and blue versions. One for "Ultra Magnus" and the other for "Powered Convoy".

I gotta admit, though, .... not too keen on these fellas. As nice and show-accurate as the bot modes are, I'd be more jazzed about Music Label Soundwave .... or even G1 Soundwave accessories.
