Ooh. Very glad I passed up Hubcap. Me likey.

Definitely getting both of these guys. And the repaints that should be showing up pretty soon. I find it highly humorous that on the back of Downshift's box it says to rub the rubsign & on Rumble's it says press to activate rubsign.

Holy crap! Downshift's alt mode is tEh sEcKs!! That is beautiful! Only downside is that it is molded plastic...could you imagine if that was a glossy black finish with chrome bumpers, grating, and headlights?

OMP (oh my prime) those thing are amazing. Loving downshift but I’m thinking big daddy for him. Rumble spectacular I thought these guys were going to be voyager class.
But they will fit in according to size

this might be off topi, so in advanced sorry, but iwas wondering if i should buy gen. Thunderwing. because i found 3 at a target but passed an got leader ss. should i go to the target and buy twing?

I will be owning both of these. Downshift looks too nice not to be owned, Rumble looks good aswell.

I couldn't remember if we had seen Downshift before. Once again I prefer the repaint over the original. Well played Hasbro, well played.

Awesome, Rumble & Frenzy are Scouts. They will definitely be added to my collection. Actually, I'm going to wait for 'Frenzy', since I collect the red one. :p

Depends...do you especially like the way he looks or buy for display and he fills a "need" in your collection? If so, yes. If not, then don't bother as he's not much fun...unless you like 3 step transformations.

definately gonna get rumble if i ever see these scouts come my way.

im also liking downshift though. hubcap is certainly one of the best scouts ever.

anyone else feeling the armada mini-con race team downshift colour vibe here? he's yello black and blue. i must say i was expecting white, what with the abundance of G1 homages nowadays. but its cool to see an old name fit to a new character. i suppose there isnt gonna be a movieverse downshift any other way.

Downshift can stay right on the pegs but I will be grabbing Rumble.

Re: In Package Images of Reveal the Shield Demolition Rumble and Downshift (1169523)
Posted by KIERANW on January 15th, 2011 @ 11:45am CST

These both shall be mine!
I already have hubcap, but since the mold was fantastic i will be glad to pick up downshift!
Rumble looks good too!

Re: In Package Images of Reveal the Shield Demolition Rumble and Downshift (1169526)
Posted by Marcdachamp on January 15th, 2011 @ 12:08pm CST

I almost never buy scouts at all. Rumble, however, will most definitely be mine.

Re: In Package Images of Reveal the Shield Demolition Rumble and Downshift (1169532)
Posted by OptiMagnus on January 15th, 2011 @ 12:17pm CST

I'm definitely getting this Frenzy Rumble. He looks so cool!

Re: In Package Images of Reveal the Shield Demolition Rumble and Downshift (1169540)
Posted by WingDagger on January 15th, 2011 @ 12:28pm CST

I shall be purchasing Rumble (& Frenzy). Oh yes, I shall!

Not a fan of the Hubcap mold, so probably won't be picking up Downshift, either.

And is it me, or is DS in European packaging? If so, does that mean they're dropping the tech specs from the Euro cards?

Oh yeah, in response to Godzillabot's question, it was originally rumoured that Frenzy & Rumble were gonna be around Delux-class with some sort of combination gimick (probably the vehicles combining into a larger tank), but sold together at Voyager price-point, along the lines of the Animated Jet-twins. The combination, as far as I know, is yet to be confirmed.

This way, we seem to be getting a better deal (price of 2x Scouts < 1x Voyager), although us Europeans tend to get nerfed on releases of later waves in each range, so here's to hoping that Frenzy will be in wave 2 or 3!

Could somebody remind me again just which corporate dumbass it was that thought putting the RTS gimmick on a toy and then packaging it with a huge freaking Faction Logo on the back was a good idea?? Morons... :BANG_HEAD:

Yes, I know! It very much defeats the purpose of the promotion to put the allegiance on the back of the card. I was actually looking forward to discovering the faction after I bought the toy for characters that I wasn't familiar with.

Really like the Rumble figure, a complete pass on the repaint.

Euro cards have not had tech specs since 2005, the first half of cybertron. The only stuff with tech specs I see nowadays is US exclusive stuff that turns up in Britain.
Get with the times man!

Rumble (and the evnetual release of Frenzy) are soooo mine :KREMZEEK:

I guess they must be coming out soon since they are in the package already. Probably Feb. or March I guess. I wonder why BBTS hasn't got the preorder for him yet.

I am still waiting for detail pictures of Frenzy and Rumble.

Posted by NTESHFT on January 15th, 2011 @ 3:18pm CST

Didn't know that Frenzy and Rumble were going to be Scout Class, but I'll get them anyways. I'm not big on scout, because they are a pain in the ars for me to transform (well, at least the ones I do have).

Rumble is buy on sight. Downshift... is not.

Cool a Hubcap Repaint wish they named him Big Daddy

Re: In Package Images of Reveal the Shield Demolition Rumble and Downshift (1169817)
Posted by paul053 on January 16th, 2011 @ 1:18am CST

Downshift is definitely a pass for me. I don't even like Hubcap now as I used to.

Rumble, hmmmmm, I think I will pick him up right away.

Re: In Package Images of Reveal the Shield Demolition Rumble and Downshift (1169823)
Posted by Michael Alex Kawa on January 16th, 2011 @ 1:45am CST

I love the Rumble about time he gets some RESPECT

Posted by Down_Shift on January 16th, 2011 @ 10:36am CST

Downshift... is a... REPAINT!!! :-x

I like the Big Daddy homage, but why doesn't sweet sweet Downshift get his own figure! The Omnibots would make amzing new Deluxe figures.

Rumble looks pretty good. I'll gladly pick him and Frenzy up.

EDIT: Fixed... I'm a tool

Frenzy you mean. Unless you think Rumble is red and Frenzy is blue. I'm of that persuasion :lol:

Downshift (or Big Daddy) looks good, too bad the limbs are blue instead of the correct orange. I may still pick him up, I'm a sucker for good looking repaints.

Fixed. I'm RIBFIR all the way. Always liked the cartoon adaptation more.

Here's hoping we see more G1 Scouts in the future.

glad i never got "hubcap", i like the mold but i never liked the solid red
but this will looks soo cute sitting next to Big Daddy....wonder if i can get MP Prime posed holding both of them lol

and Rumble/Frenzy is a must, cant wait to see how he/they look with WFC Soundwave

I hope Downshift has a matt/flat finish similar to what Skystalker/Sunspot has.

I'm a big fan of that direction Hasbro is taking with some of their paint apps. (this sentence seems structured poorly to me but i can't figure out what's wrong with it

)

Thanks WingDagger!

I really liked the original G1 F-R duo so as you can imagine this so cool.
