Rumble and Frenzy are in the United line. Are we getting them in the Generations or RTS line?

Just Rumble (the Blue One), as a RtS Scout called "Demolition Rumble". Frenzy (the Red One) hasn't been announced yet.

Supposedly we were supposed to get Demolitions Rumble in a Reveal the Shield wave alongside Bodyblock (Breacher repaint) and Downshift (Hubcap repaint). No mention of Frenzy at all anywhere outside of United. However, online retailers got their hands on the wave from that line containing Chopsaw and Windcharger, which I don't think there has been any retail sightings of either of those. None of the retailers ever saw the other three, Rumor has it that Windcharger was discontinued. Supposedly Hasbro claims that the Generations line will continue throughout the DOTM line. Perhaps Windcharger and Chopsaw were discontinued under that line so that they would be repackaged under the DOTM line. Maybe Generations will open up a scout class.

DEFINITELY a question for the Hasbro Botcon Q & A sessions. Are you a bad enough dude?

It would suck if those rumors are true. Reminds me of the Universe wave with Ratchet and Hotshot; Never saw them at retail and then all of a sudden, their prices skyrocketed online.

I do wonder how and when they'll release Rumble and Frenzy. While it's true that Rumble is being released under the RTS line, it's unknown when they'll it release at retail.

Me too. Those were two excellent repaints.

Given how many repaints the scout molds get I wouldn't be surprised if we see Rumble, Frenzy, Tailgate, Bodyblock and Downshift all done the road albeit in pseudo-movie packaging like HFTD Seaspray.

come to think of it we may see warpath and wheeljack in the movie line packaging seeing as how warpath is in a preview trailer for the dotm game. my thiking is they didnt spend all that money developing these figures to only have a limited release.theyre in the business of making money and to not release these at somepoint would be contrary to that.just my two pence

Like they did with HA Mudflap in the HFTD line... Wait... Never mind.

Order them online and be done with it. Just got my United Rumble and Frenzy today. Piss on Hasbro and will or won't they release them, and if they do, will they be available for more than 20 minutes on HTS... Buttholes.

Except that I've had my Wheeljack for more than a week now and he and Thundercracker both came in Generations packaging. Online retailers should have Warpath in later this month.

That's a good point. I've scoured the net, but all I could find was some expensive eBay listings. Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough but I too could use some guidance on where to look
