According to the gallery on this very site, both Nemesis Prime and Rumble are #24?!? Is that an error, or are they both #24??

My Rumble's box also said 24, but Ravage says 26, so its probably just a misprint.

I think this was explained in another thread, probably the Rumble gallery one.

Nemesis Prime was an exclusive or something and not released as part of the main alternator line.

No, you're right, I don't really know, but the info's around here somewhere!

He really shouldn't have had any number then, rather than an incorrect one. He was actually an HTS exclusive, introed at SDCC, rather than a convention exclusive. He's available through some online retailers (Case Fresh in Australia still seems to have not sold out), and still appears in Hasbro's catalogue.


That doesnt quite explain it (just because a figure is an exclusive to a certain retailer, doesnt mean that its not part of the line), tho it seems that Rumble SHOULD be 25.. I say that since Nem has been sold as 24 and Ravage is 26...

UNLESS Hasbro is hiding another alternator that is #25.....

What's it matter anyway. It isn't like they were actually released numerically. For the most part yes, but there were at least two-three hiccups along the way.

Psh, Nemisis Prime uses whatever number he wants.

If he gets a reissue, he's going with Eleventeen. Big whoop. Wanna fight about it?

Maybe this is more common on the west coast... but how often does one see Hawaii tags in the big 48? Realizing of course, my only knowledge of Hawaii plates is "Robin 1" "...2" and "...3"

Seriously. Although I did see one once, I think it was in New York State close to New York City.

Although right now I'd be happier to see the toy somewhere near me!

Hopefully the toy won't follow trend of the real tags.

I have also been wondering what happened to #25. I guess they just weren't paying attention.
