The price this guy asks is pretty low too.

dont think ive seen rumble and frenzy yet, just saw some blacked out photo

by **keeblezak** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 4:04 am

we've seen pics of rumble and frenzy at fan to fan

by **piranacon** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 4:15 am

oh those ones

by **rhinox555** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 5:40 am

That looks crappy,even a not too experienced scratchbuilder can build that frenzy disc thingy,i admit:the earphone is harder to make but still,the tf itself is just... not 21st century.
Oh yeah,and i'd probably buy a transnike anyway. i posted the topic not because i thought it was new,(i know it's old) i forgot to ask my question:
Would any of you guys bash/repaint it? i think i'd bash it to a galvatron or something. it seems fitting.

by **piranacon** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 5:54 am

personaly i wouldnt , if they sell well there might be more of them

just think how they made these but there was no bumblebee alternator

I think there is going to be a blue mp3 soundwave, but it'll be a limited edition in a two pack with the white one.
i think I saw it over at BBTS

bear something in mind where rumble and frenzy are concerned:those are supposed to be working earbuds for the soundwave m3 player not just figs

by **rhinox555** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 6:42 am

Oh woops,i forgot to read that part,do you suppose they work with other stuff as well? anyway,back to the topic,what would you guys kitbash/repaint the meganike into?

nothing...i would not want to encourage people to buy this kind of stupidity.though i would buy one secondhand off of ebay to strip off the head and cannon

by **Ramrider** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 7:12 am

I wouldn't... I can't really see what the cannon looks like, but the head looks like it's been stretched.
And I wouldn't kitbash it into anything else, either. I'm quite impressed with the engineering that's gone into it, but when it comes down to it, it's just not appropriate at all; there's no character that would suit a shoe alt-mode. It's ridiculous.

by **rhinox555** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 7:17 am

Oh,i thought this site had a few collectors around here as well,i'm a completist so i'd just buy it simply because it's transformers related.
It could be possible to buy different shoeformers and kitbash it into a gestalt,although i don't see what gestalt would wear nikes.

by **Ramrider** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 7:28 am

Oh, there are collectors, and people will buy it. Years ago I might have been one of them. Nowadays I'm a bit more discerning, though.

Thing is, the main appeal of Transformers lies in their playability. They're robots (and we like playing with robots), and they transform into other things we like playing with. Toy cars, toy guns, even the true-to-scale everyday objects like cassette players and such are playable since you (or your kids, if you're too 'grown-up') can 'use' them yourself.

But what are you going to do with a half-scale trainer? The only people that will buy this are those that want to display it. That ain't me.

This Megatron has the Movie Decepticon symbol (look the symbol's eyes)

by **rhinox555** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 1:40 pm

Maybe it'll be the decepticon symbol permanently.
Does anybody else thinks megatron's chin looks like he had too many energonburgers?

News Credits: 2 · by **grimlockprime108** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 7:47 am

could someone show me the diff between the og symbol and the movie's?

by **rhinox555** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 10:27 am

The eyes are wider in the 2007 film.
