I didn't care much for the Hasbro Rumble, but the way the chest is decorated here makes it look a lot more crazy and appealing to me.

OMG dat Wildrider!

Frenzy is the only one that appeals to me...but I'm in no hurry. >:oP

e-Hobby has posted official images of Takara Tomy's upcoming Transformers Prime Arms Micron figures AM-30 Rumble, AM-31 Frenzy, and AM-33 Wildrider. Rumble and Frenzy both use the alternate head sculpt seen on the instruction sheet of Hasbro's Transformers Prime "Robots in Disguise" Rumble and come with a new Arms Micron figure. Wildrider makes use of the Wheeljack mold with an all new head sculpt and Arms Micron. Images mirrored below.

Interesting how Takara Wildrider gets the G1 treatment and Hasbro Dead End was a fruit colored piece of crap.

Careful, we got a few fans around the boards who enjoy PRID Dead End very much...

Looks like neither of the Takara toys get to use the Hasbro Rumble head.

Also, AM Frenzy is a darker blue than Hasbro's Rumble.

I was still debating with about placing the order for Rumble & Frenzy but now with these pics I am happy. Takara is going back to more metallic paints and the Octopus looks more like a pile drive cannon from the other side. Thanks Takara!

On that note, Reprolabels here is your next set. Make a set for Frenzy now. I can't wait to get these guys.

By "Frenzy" do you mean the blue one or the red one? Cuz Takara's Frenzy is blue.

Holy beautiful Stunticon batman!

I wont lie, A.M Wildrider looks pretty awesome.

I know this is an odd idea, any one hoping the Rumble/Frenzy micron's called Tako?

LOL, but alas, it is called Dago. Though, It is likely derived from "Tako", but having the syllable accents altered.

Incidentally, it also makes his name look like it's also derived from "Dagon", who's sometimes portrayed as a sea god/monster. :-B

I didn't want to say "the red car". But I suppose it would have been better than starting the RIBFIR debate again :michaelbay:

(and Reprolabels stickers take care of that issue).

Perfect time to just make slight alteration to the sticker sheets and punch out a new set for fans. I would definitely buy it.

I hope Wildrider's Micron gets a singles treatment as well. That would be on my buy list.

It always reminds me of Usain Bolt, if he were a giant Transforming robot vomiting coolant.

darn.

ah well still comes round full circle then

I am sooo getting that Rumble(red car!). Not for the character nor the car, but that color scheme, his chest and the new head mold is just screaming for an easy Guren Lagann mod. All I need is 2 of those MA Drills(or more!) and a cool pair of shades!

Whoever decided to put the decepticon logo at that angle instead of in the center needs to be fired because they ruined an otherwise fantastic repaint. :BANG_HEAD:

WTF animals are FnR's AM's supposed to be?! Wildrider's is the only one I can identify, which is (barely) an elephant.

I thought it was an elephant but then I thought it was a warthog. That other thing looks like a robot from a 50's TV show.
