    I was just messing around with MP Rumble and Frenzy, and realized that the pile drivers actually have specific side to fit to.

    For those who don't already know, look closely inside the cavity and there's two ridges. The lower one snaps over the elbow and it clicks in place. You can tell which side it's supposed to be by the position of these ridges.

    Yeah, I think there were a few people on this board that actually got two left (or right) from the Japanese MP rumble/frenzy sets. Very frustrating for them to send it back to the online store they purchased it from

    Yup. My MP Rumble came w/ two of the same side piledrivers. Thankfully TakaraTOMY sent me replacements as well as an apology letter.

    Good to hear they sorted this out. Glad we haven't heard much about the Hasbro version having the same problem or it'd be a pain in the tailgate to replace..(on a second thought, the way the Hasbro pile drivers were packed kinda prevents factory workers from picking two of the same one.)

    A repaint of Armada Red Alert as Energon Prowl? Never knew that existed.

    Never realised we have another Aussie Transformer. The Tasmainian Kid. (sounds like a 80's WWF Wrestler)

    Toywise he's the same as BW Snarl, which was released in Australia. Although the mould looks nothing like a Tasmanian Devil... more like a generic marsupial thing... more like a Dunnart. :/ It's a nice toy though.

    Interesting piece of info included in his bio on TF wiki..

    "One time he went pee-pee on a forest fire to put it out. He probably drank two slabs of beer to do so. "

    Reading the rest of his bio I don't think he would be even of legal age to drink beer Shame on Lio Prime for letting him
