oooo it's like Sideswipe and Sunstreaker... rotate the torso, add a new head and presto! New character!
That's one Hell of an Aftermarket front Bar though. :D
This is intriguing as it doesn't look all too bad, though it is only a prototype. ;)
Pics of rumble or frenzy

and g2 Optimus prime for those who havn't seen it.

corrected dead links
Frenzy/rumble looks decent, the robot mode looks pretty in line with g1 incarnation, the tank, I will need time to adjust to it from cassette form, oh well. Having said that, will still be getting these guys.

Wheeljack looks so F'n good- from prototype. I can't believe all the various fans complaining that Tracks shared a retooled mould. The additional front bumper? homage to the g1 lancia mould just made this alt mode so much better than tracks. So Badass :cool:
Though that pic doesn't show the "wheeljackesque" shoulder cannon that tracks mould came with, I hope that the figure can mount that cannon on that shoulders. As long as Takara doesnt screw up, but give me a g1 accurate paint scheme and ill be getting 2 atleast.
Creator of dinobots is finally here!! :D
what prime is this? http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...81&mode=retail it kinda reminds me of the classics one that was released a few years ago
It is the Classics one from a few years ago.Quote:

Indeed dude, it sure does harken back to the G1 Lancia Front Bar, which is probably why I like this Wheeljack's Alt Mode so much, I just hope it's evenly balanced with something at the rear though. ;)Quote:

Rumble/Frenzy... Is it just me or do we only see one figure? weren't they supposed to be a combiner?
At any rate, this figure in Bot Mode looks... ok IMO, but it really doesn't inspire me much and the alt mode looks like one of the figures I've just finished replacing... :p
Wheeljack looks cool, though they better not give him a crappy bonnet image like tracks.
Undecided on Frenzy.
Well, this confirms it.
I am going to have no money for the next 6/12 months. :D
WOWEEEEEE!!! :eek: Finally... Wheeljack - and he looks fantastic!! Rumble/Frenzy are way better than I expected too!
Can't wait...
If you look closely Wheeljack does have a shoulder cannon, though it looks a lot like the Tracks one.
Man I'm going to be so broke over this next year.

I think I picked a bad time to jump out of collecting... oh well.
Wheeljack looks great.
I approve of wheeljack. I hope they don't get stingy with the decos
Awesome news and bad news ( for my finances that is), are all these new figures going to see a local release or should i just preorder these from overseas?
what a great day for transformers news. Still sad.
Start saving now. That's what I did in the months leading up to the release of Revenge of the Fallen. I made a list of all the toys I wanted and how much I was expecting them to cost, then slowly put my money aside for them so that when they came out I just went on a crazy shopping spree and grabbed everything I wanted without going broke. :)Quote:
