    Well, this "Frenzy" (everybody knows RIBFIR ;)  ) is certainly leaps and bounds better than Movie Frenzy. :lol 

    I'm liking it a lot, despite it not being blue, having no hands and his face being visible ... though that last bit can probably be "fixed" by repositioning the head.

    Looks good. I'm crossing my fingers for an SDCC Frenzy. Hasbro said there would be another one this year, so all being well, that'd be the one.

    No..but seriously, this is a good peice from the looks of it IMO will just have to wait to see what the "slammers" (pile drivers) are all about articulation wise.

    Sure the transformation doesn't look 'alt Grimlock complicated', but he's bound to be a little more complicated than Gears. I'm still looking forward to this one as well as Ravage. I just hope my BBTS preorder doesn't screw up.

    No opinions will be changed at this late stage, and I'm rather late to the party, but here's my two cents:

    RIRFIB, so I'm very happy (Why are we still even HAVING this childish argument?).

    I never liked the piledrivers to begin with (I'm a comic fan, not so much a cartoon one. Might explain my position on the above, also.), so I'm especially annoyed at the lack of real hands. The lack of hands is a deal-killer for me.

    But for those of you who like it, whatever. Hasbro's gotta get their money from someone.

    Awesome. Hope these last Alts don't get lost in the swamp of upcoming movie toys.

    Sigh. Looking at Alternators now is like looking a girl you loved once, only to find she's become a fat, ugly, drunk heroin addict in and out of prison and going to the grave within a year.

    What a waste. What poor design. What a stupid character choice. Bad bad bad.

    Whaaaat!?! I thought they said they wouldn't do something of similar caliber next time. God dammit, the first thing I thought of when we heard that this and Ravage were it for a while was "Frenzy better not be a God damn SDCC exclusive."

    Screw that. I'm selling off the rest if I can't get Frenzy without bending over, sticking with MP-05, and calling it a year if they pull that shit.

    He looks more like one of those Roadbots to me.

    Cartoon Rumble is blue, Alternators Rumble is red.

    Even if Alternators were somehow a direct continuation of the cartoon, Alternators Rumble would still be red. He would just switch colors.

    You've still got the 19 Alternators that were originally vehicles in G1 compared to the seven that weren't vehicles in G1 or weren't in G1 at all. Thats still a favorable ratio for you. And with Asterisk and KissPlay, you get an even more favorable ratio in "good character choices".

    Who's having an argument? I think everybody was actually joking at that stupid argument in the first place.

    So, by your reasoning, since Alt Rumble has the piledrivers, then he's more of an homage to Cartoon Rumble, and should've been blue. :p
