I emailed BBTS about this (if it was Kup or Ironhide) and the response I got was that they don't have updated information from the manufacturer and when they get it, they'll update the listing. Seeing now that it's 100% Kup due to packaging photos means I cancelled my preorder and I'll take my chances getting Rumble elsewhere or through friends on the board. Without a new head, this just looks like seasick Ironhide.
Easy pass! But I might fold and pick up that Shrek-Rumble figure. But I'll have to call him something else and deny any affiliation to his previous life of course.
Well fuck, looks like the windshields a cheat. Was gonna say that the figure looks awesome, but now he's a likely pass.
rumble pics havent surfaced yet, when they are they'll be posted! Kapow are getting him in next week with the Gen Wave 2 so im gonna be a very happy geek next weekend. Rumble and his shoulderpads of doom can sod off back to the 80's
SDCC confirmed it's Kup, not Ironhide. I did as soon as SDCC confirmed it as Kup. Nope. It was just in the listing. No Hasbro Ironhide confirmed at all.
So I guess this may mean Ironhide is a Takara exclusive then? I hope not. Just to be on the safe side I'll order the AM version instead but I do wish it has two cannons.
Kup looks ok, but I'll wait for the Ironhide repaint, if he comes to the US that is. It's best if you ignore him, he says "crap" about anything not G1.
It would work better as Trailbraker. Yes definitely repurposed as Dipstick with the face and coloring.
