I think they were smart in slapping some paint on Rumble's hands, I guess the :ic$:

ran out at some point with Kup there. The more I look at Rumble's paint apps over all the more he's got that G2-esq style and I'm having trouble finding a faction symbol.

So I think I may have to slap on a :G2CON:

over the

if there is one cuz it's just begging for one :VEHI:

There's one on his vehicle mode, but I don't see one on his robot mode.

It's just because, like on Vehicon, it's dark purple on black. The white background doesn't help.
Now, if I had to guess where it ends up in robot mode...I'd say it's either attached to the black pieces that rotate up to form his instep and inside leg or...it ends up inside his torso somewhere you can't see it (unless it's supposed to be visible in the mouth or something).

These all look awesome, especially Rumble, surprisingly. I wish he was red, but I might end up getting him anyway.

Rumble looks fantastic. Not right for a Classics stand-in, but I've got United Rumble & Frenzy for that, so this guy will end up on my shelf of random awesomeness. Passing on Kup, no need for him as I have Generations Kup (who is far superior IMHO). Dreadwing looks great, I'll consider picking him up after I get my hands on some of my current hard to find Must-Haves.

Rumble does look like he could be Soundwave's little friend (hopefully in the cartoon as well), just like Laserbeak is.

He will be mine, but does he actually include a DVD?

Kup is great and won't clog the shelves unlike the United/Generations figurine for a few reasons:

1) You can repaint him into Ironhide if you want;

2) He has better articulation; and

3) In case he isn't redecoed into Ironhide, then we could give Kup's cannons to the Arms Micron release.

And while Kup looks nice next to Hot Shot, Iron hide looks nice next to Optimus.

And Dreadwing? Well, he could sell more than his brother, Skyquake.

They all look pretty good. I think Rumble will be on the show. They have to explain the face in the chest. Kup looks alright but I'll probably just wait on Ironhide. Lastly, MechTech still sucks.

No, they don't. It could be just a funny coincidence, doesn't have to mean something.

Yes, way to point that out. I wasn't giving them an order. Guess I could have explained that better. I do think it's more than a coincidence though. That's a pretty obvious face. Hopefully, we get an explanation one way or another.

Eeeeh...I'm sorry, but there's no WAY I can get on board with a "best transformers line in some time" statement.

Most of them look very skinny and simian in my opinion, and I really can't stand this line or the show (even though I totally watch it.)

That being said, I'd pick up Rumble in a second to add to my generic "FOC Decepticon" group.

I'll pass on Green Iron Hid...I mean Kup.
