Chances of a Generations Rumble/Frenzy

With the recent resurgence of generations figures, does anybody think there's a chance that we'll be getting a Hasbro version of Rumble or Frenzy? I really want them for the shelves, but I can't justify the $60 + shipping price tag right now due to some budget restrictions. In a year when I finish school, it's a different story, but for now I have to pick and choose my high priced choices.

Demolition Rumble got cancelled, and Frenzy was never teased. Might come out in future lines but unlikely in the near future.

I'd be surprised if this mold was never seen stateside; but it doesn't fit into any of the currently running product lines. With that in mind, I think it's safe to say it won't happen any time soon. My guess is you'll have to wait until Generations is supplanted by a classics-oriented line with more variation in the size classes. No way that's happening any earlier than late 2012. (And it could be much later than that.)

Probably classics 5.0 ... in a year and a half from now
Classics
Universe (2.0)
generations (3.0)
RTS (4.0)

They've been made, produced and released. Hasbro only has to produce more numbers... I'd guess that it's a matter of time, really. Think Henkei Alert, Hasbro issued that guy as well (in different colors, mr. Knowitall).

Not in the Generations line, I'm guessing this has a LOT to do with the release and attention around DOTM.

What's the irony if they got released as Botcon exclusives?

Then hasbro is trolling for releasing em under the "exclusive" banner.
Although i can picture a
SLIGHT paint diffrence in frenzy (or rumble, if u must)and a rumble (or frenzy) in next year's botcon sovinear pack at a ridiculous price

Followed by a rage so intense and widespread that all involved will need therapy in the aftermath.

I have a feeling that we will see them in the next Classics line.

I doubt that Hasbro would just waste the molds and not release them at all. I'm hoping that they'll be released in a two pack for $15-$16 dollars in the next Classics line.

Animated Wingblade Optimus Prime, Jetpack Bumblebee and Blackout beg to differ.

Thundercracker... not so. He was meant to be released but ultimately cancelled.

Disagree. Who knows what it'll be called (if not sticking w/ 'Generations',) but I'd be very surprised if they called it quits.

Potential Name : Classics 4.0/5.0*
Galaxy.
Classics 1 : "classics" is not a physical object
Classics 2.0 Universe : "Universe" is space-themed
Classics 3.0 Generations : "Generations" is again like classics
Classics 4.0 Galaxy : "Galaxy" is space-themed
See the
troll pattern?
*5.0 if you count RTS as a "classics".

Hasbro hasn't made any announcement about quitting the Generations line at this time, so I'm saying it will continue indefinitely and only in the Deluxe range. This puts Rumble in a bit of a pickle:
1. No Scout Class to accomodate him
2. He'd have to be an exclusive, those are allowed non-standard sizes.
3. A two-pack with Frenzy wouldn't be ideal at all, since you're releasing the same toy twice in different colors. TakaraTomy could, but not Hasbro.

Ever seen two of the same mold, and
only two of the same mold in an exclusive, aside from giftsets?

I initially thought of the Classics Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime two-pack, but it turns out that was an Asia exclusive.
I wasn't sure if you'd mentioned that because Hasbro had said so.
