RtS Demolition Rumble & Deep Dive bio and pics

They updated the table at tfwiki.net.

One colour still outnumbers the other though. (and when it comes to Gen1, I go by the toys as a point of reference or to resolve any conflicts)

Frenzy: Eject. Operation: Wing-Man...
Hey: Baby. Sensors indicate beverage desired; purchase: mine. Destination: My place; Personnel: You and me. Response affirmative?

I instinctively read that in Quagmire's voice. Giggitty!

They updated the table at tfwiki.net.

I see they've also updated it to reflect IDW's self-contradiction. (-_-) But yeah, Rumble is red in the overwhelming majority of cases. Democracy'd!

I think this (Rumble/Frenzy/Dave) issue is one big sick private joke within the Hasbro offices.


Hasbro Marketing Exec: Watch the forums explode when we give them a Rumble toy that is blue!
Hasbro Toy Designera: Eh, the mould is the same, why not. We will be releasing Frenzy as well right?
Hasbro Marketing Exec: What do you think would happen if we let FunPub do it?

This is why I don't read tech specs anymore, lies lies all lies!!!!!!!!

Someone in the Hasbro offices has a lot of unsubstantiated fantasies while writing bios..

Deep Dive is an Autobot. (damn these RtS figures for not having easy to see allegiances or painted ones on the toys)

It's also been noted that the Autobots are massively outnumbering the Decepticons in RtS.

Umm, they're printed on the box Griff

Not on the front. We rarely get to see the back of packaging before they get released to stores, hence the 'easy to see' bit.
When I'm posting news or adding to the checklist, I'd like to know the allegiance as soon as possible. Something we don't get now with RtS toys until a long time after we first find out about them (or see a pre-production figure with the sticker/painted symbol on it).

Fair enough.

On a side note, have there been any further announcements of further RTS waves (Deluxe & Voyager) past the current one (Wreck Gar, Perceptor, Deep Dive, et al)?

[griffin]

We might get some of those retooled head redecos as one more wave before the TF3 toys hit (with time for the stores to clear shelves before the movie stock arrives). Then we'll probably have a hiatus until after the Movie 'season' is passed.

Can't wait til TakaraTOMY release this blue guy as Frenzy just to really screw with hardcore nerds!
