United Voyager 2 pack Frenzy and Rumble, Kup and Wheeljack?

[Bartrim]

Sorry. I hesitated, thinking it might spoil, but he's on the front cover...

Yeah I know hence the whole

[liegeprime]

heheheheh Autobot cup (kup)

Voyager sized packaging?


Wreck Gar is a medic?? Ah well I guess when you can bring back a decapitated body like - Magnus and Springer back to life , you are one. Better than Perceptor who can't even fix Optimus with just those shoddy side wounds, cripes Prime got blasted even internally ( by lazerbeak) before and was able to survive with Ratchet and Wheeljack on the job. Perceptor's just useless.

back on topic...

Im hoping they make a new head mold at least for Wheeljack and not just a straight on repaint of Tracks down to the head mold. otherwise Id track down an Energon Downshift just to cannibalize the head

Perceptor's just useless.

hence why he's now a car and not a useless magnifying glass.

I'd like to politely disagree there, Griffin. I don't think it's Laziness or contamination if the Designers for the Movie toys thought Lockdown was cool enough to be given the Movie treatment. He's one of my Favourite ROTF toys and now has greater crossover value after appearing in Drift's series. If the designers love these characters I say make more Animated Homages, it was great to see G1 characters get the Animated treatment, why is so wrong for the unique characters of Animated to get the reverse?

I myself love these Animated to Classics/Movieverse conversions. I'll buy Lugnut and would really love to see a Generations Blitzwing with some design cues from Animated (Mainly the three faces) And a G1 Bulkhead like the one I saw in a Mosiac comic.

I agree.
I think it also binds the Transformers multiverse together more tightly. Making it seem like every character exists in each universe one way or another having greater impact or importance in some universes and little to none in others
I think it makes it more interesting to compare the charactersation between series.
One of the things I love about Animated Optimus Prime is that he isn't top bot. He pretty much got kicked out of the military and is just in charge of a dinky little rapair crew.
I'd like to see a Megatron like that.

Also reminds me of a movie called 'The One' with Jet Li.

G1 Megatron was forced to take orders from Shockwave when he overthrew Megatron and assumed command of the Decepticons. Straxus is of equal rank to Megatron -- Megatron was commanding the Earth-bound Decepticons while Straxus had risen to power on Cybertron, becoming Lord High Governor. You'll notice that on the Darkmount toy his rank is 10, equal to Megatron. Straxus later took orders from Megatron after he was reduced to living as a head in a bubble - but even then he took measures to overthrow Megatron.

Megatron was also subservient to The Fallen in ROTF.

"What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?!?"

For some reason, Grapple and Scourge didn't make it to that list.

Courtesy of Seibertron.com, pics have been allegedly produced depicting the 'Alternate Transformation' that will be utilised to differentiate Turbo Tracks from Wheeljack.

Here are the 2 main pics comparing the end results (Supposedly):
(The pics are ridiculously big, so here are the links)

I wonder if Rumble and Frenzy will be a combiner? I could so see Hasbro recasting them to be like the twins in Animated.

[Hursticon]

Courtesy of Seibertron.com, apparently from an anonymous source - the upcoming Frenzy and Rumble will transform into half a Voyager Class sized Tank each (Like Combiner Micromasters or the Twins Icecream Truck) and will apparently have their Piledriver arms.

Why a Tank?

This is probably the one time I'll have a problem with another TF Tank because these guys really shouldn't be one.
I don't mind the combiner gimmick but I'd of preferred some other Alt Mode - But I guess this is little more than a rumour so until pics surface, I suppose I shouldn't get worked up about it.

[GoktimusPrime]

The idea of making them combiners is interesting. Means that they'll be different moulds and not straight repaints. Also means they should be sold together and we won't have to hunt each down separately.
