ReproLabels, PLEASE do something for this figure.

 

I was originally on the fence about this guy because of the severe amount of blue on the figure, and the shoulders in initial photos. But DecepticusPrime hit that fence with a big hammer, and SolFury launched it into the sun. He's now on a short want to find list. I hope that with the waves are being squeaked buy retailers, I'll be able to get him. The shoulders actual emphasize the overall look of the piledrivers. I thought initially "why do my shoulders have car tumors on them", but now they look like engines for the pile drivers. Fantastic. I shall dub him Rumble Laggan.

To everyone: Buy more bumblebees and donate them to Toys For Tots. We need these new waves on the shelves.

 

He's very cute and I look forward to getting him - but I'm going to be a busy bunny painting him.

Headlamps
Indicators (front and back)
Tail Lights
Rear window - undercote (silver) and topcote (transparent red)
rear bumper
door handles
Wheelhubs (probably gold or maybe yellow)
windscreen and side windows surrounds (probably silver or black)
side mirrors (the glass part)
Rear spoiler (will check it against the Micron version stickers first)
Number plate
Underside of car roof (probably black or the same colour as the car body)
Disc brakes (if required)

And if he does ever show up on TV I suspect a lot of that detail on his back is also painted too.

So like Knockout he's going to keep me busy.

 

he's got the Weaponizer Prime's issue. he's just too blasted hollow looking from behind. :/

hardly any paint detail at all to speak of. wow. :/

 

IDK, I'm still not loving this guy. Really looking forward to MP Rumble being my classics rumble.

 

You mean like this?  


I decided to do mine silver with a Sharpie Paint Pen. Amazing improvement!
I'm going to do more tweaks to him just trying to decide what colour to do his rims

 

How in the world did you manage such a crisp detail job with a sharpie paint pen? Excellent work, duder!

 

I absolutely love this. A purchase on site! 

 

Rumble is red, Frenzy is blue!!!  

 

yup exactly! i plan to do those and the rims gold. the rest i dont know as mine wont get here till tuesday.

but as mentioned before ill just do some highlighting with my metallic sharpies.

 

Looks good

 

Yup that's my biggest issue with him as well. I swear, the lack of paint apps on these things are gonna end up making me drop the line. *sigh*

Other than that he looks like a fun little bot.

 

Obviously not since the packaging and promotionals clearly indicate this is Rumble.

 

Im in the "rumble is red" boat as well.

 

same. this is my prime frenzy.

 

As am I, if I buy this figure, he'll be Frenzy, to hell what the package says.

 

Gotta admit this figure looks badass.

But sadly he'll be nothing more than cannon fodder or a typical peon should Prime opt to show him on the show... Such are all Con's on that show, to view them is to see their extended funerals...(Sigh)

 

Sharpie Paint Pens | Oil-Based Paint Marker

It's a fine point Sharpie Paint Marker. Not the normal metallic pen.
Gives a brighter better result but gotta be careful as sometimes the paint can come out too much.
A nice small tip helps to make detail better. Believe me some of the wheel rims I do aren't always perfect Lol.

 

I knew it wouldn't be long until the RIRFIB vs. RIBFIR match would start. 

 

The lovable sawed-off punk who defended Soundwave's honor when his charisma was called into question was definately colored blue.

The toy that just kind'a sits there is colored red.

I'm going to side with the name of the lovable character over the static toy. Rumble is definately blue.
