I really do like the color scheme, but hopefully the price won't be like the God Swords. :-(

If it can ride on top of Universe Ravage, that'd be more of an approximate to Mini-Con sizing.

Yeah, I just fixed that.

This is some bad news. I hoped it wasn't a third party construct.
Now it'll probably cost tons with a limited release.
I really hoped that it was Hasbro/Takaratomy, then it would have a good release for every fan.
Maybe in the classics 2.0 line or the new one.

Now I hope it's good quality and has a proper paintjob of Rumble/Frenzy and them both in a two-pack for a reasonable price. Otherwise it's a pass, eventhough Rumble is my favorite Transformers character.

Anyone wanna take a quick snapshot of G1 Rumble next to Nightstick? I don't want to dig Nightstick out of the closet to do it.

I'm a little disappointed that the coloring doesn't match the Fansproject image but it does look pretty cool regardless. If it's not much more than 25 dollars, I'll consider it. If it gets into the crazy range (30 dollars +), forget it-that is, uless it's part of an overall package that's too good to pass up.

Now that we're seeing color images, I would expect pre-orders to pop up soon.

Universe Nightstick comes up to the waist of the G1 cassettes. This guy will be shorter than them. When I get my camera charged up I'll get a snapshot to compare all three.

I honestly have no use for a black and teal Rumble/Frenzy. I understand that it is shown in the comic, but that'a a pretty small number of potential clients, as not too many people have Shadow Commander.

I'm cool with the size though, just the right size to me. Again, very interesting, but price is a huge factor in a figure so small. (Note: no rhyming!)

i dont know but something tells me that it doesnt transform

he just looks do good and posable in robot mode
anyway he may be small but he is very cool!

Photo time. I have combined the official image with my own comparison. This new guy comes up to the top of the G1's forehead.

The new version is the perfect size for the universe line. I will take 5 right now please.

BTW, My Frenzy has been repainted into SG colours.

I wish hasbro made legends figure this well articulated.

News Credits: 8 · Tue Dec 08, 2009 3:05 pm

Any guess on how much these will sell for?

News Credits: 11 · Tue Dec 08, 2009 3:27 pm

Uh, nemesis colors? I'm all for black primes, but I have no interest in a Nemesis Rumble.

If this thing isn't available in black and red, I'm not interested. And it's kinda small, too. Maybe they're trying to make it fit in the dual-cassette chest of the Soundwave reissue? Or better yet, the same size as a G1 tape.

News Credits: 8 · Tue Dec 08, 2009 3:29 pm

Damn its not hasbro? Well there goes my hope of a Classics Soundwave. Depending on the price i might get one or two.

News Credits: 3 · Tue Dec 08, 2009 3:40 pm

I'm pretty much up for as many Casseticons as can be thrown at us.

He doesn't mean in the second frame does he? Because that's not Perfect Effect's God Sword, that's the translucent sword that comes with Fan Project's Shadow Commander. In fact, the pictures of the God Sword show the Shandow Commander holding both the God Sword and their normal one.

If it is from Perfect Effect, I certainly like the design. I hope it is priced better than the swords were. Impressive as they are, I'm not breaking at that price.

lookin' forward to it :grin:

What is a "Shadow Warrior" ??? Take away the sugarcoating and its Rumble....Sheesh !!!

Nice figure though, I like.

Tue Dec 08, 2009 6:48 pm

Not digging the colors. If this gets released in Red & Blue, then I'm down to purchase it. Otherwise, no.

News Credits: 409 · Tue Dec 08, 2009 7:45 pm

Cool design. Interested to learn more.

News Credits: 5 · Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:38 pm

Well, I don't see much point in him being in those colours unless he does combine with Shadow Commander in alt mode (assuming there is one).

They look nice, but I don't have a Shadow Commander so I'll wait for the inevitable blue & red repaints.
