    This is a test shot, not a prototype.

    Prototypes are not like this.

    I'm surprised people still mix those terms up.

    Love that head sculpt. I have the AM one preordered but I'd rather get the Hasbro version to avoid those ridiculous stickers. Hope we get some news soon on whether of not the domestic release was scrapped if this I'd the sign of a future release....

    His head looks a bit like Ironhide's.

    It is not a test shot either. Protos are made before the mold is done. Test shots are made to test the mold, usually in random colors. This is correct colors and paint, with factory markings. It is a factory sample.

    While that takara photo is particularly clear I do not see the yellow thigh or crotch paint apps in it.

    Because it's just a partially painted sample. Takara AM figures are mostly unpainted anyway.

    Takara just renamed Hasbro Rumble "Frenzy' for its line and created the Rumble with a new head we see here. There's no Hasbro Frenzy, just a misinformed/confused seller.

    Oh yeah, your right. I forgot those "paint ops" in the takara photo would be stickers. Are we sure though that the JP one has those paint ops on the thigh and crotch? I don't remember if he was released yet, haven't been following AM that closely.

    That head is definitely not in the same spirit as Rumble's head. I don't like it, nope.

    Sad that this is a proto, I like the colors more, but the blue head better.
