    Liking Rumble & Frenzy despite the "chicken legs" syndrome they appear to have.

    OTOH, I've really tried to like the Frenzy/Rumble mold, but I can't stand it. Pretty much everything about it is wrong.

    Wheeljack is pretty much confirmed as my favourite of this batch, Frenzy and Rumble look like good toys not sure how great a Rumble and Frenzy though. My doubts about Scourge continue, but I do love the alt mode. Prime weird but I want it. Grappel continues to look good.

    The more I see Frumble, the more I'm kind of "enh" about it. I'll probably pick it up - especially if there's some sort of combining gimmick - but only because I'm being a little completist about classics-style toys.

    Scourge looks great now, can't wait to get him. Wheeljack, G2 Prime and Grapple are all good. Rumble is interesting, I can see why peeps are divided on it but I like it, it looks like a fun toy.

    so wait there is going to be a seperate frenzy and rumble right?

    looks like it will be the same figure. one blue and one red probably. cause it looks like you can either have it transformed with the hammers or the laser "guns". i think they are both the same.

    Frumble reminds me of the micromaster Half-Track. Interestingly, he was a combiner in vehicle mode (also, one of the few micromasters I had as a kid, so nostalgia++).

    The first blurry pics we saw of Rumble/Frenzy didn't exactly convince me but the detail in these new ones have suckered me in good :D . It looks like I'll be going for TakTom's orange Grapple over Hasbro's yellow one. Scourge seems to have a very bland altmode but as if that's gonna stop me from owning him... :lol

    Not 100% sure, but I think the sidewindows are transparent as well, but there is a body part right behind it...

    Getting a close look at G2 Prime's head, I'm wondering if this is more of an attempt to get a Classiverse version of movie Prime than it is for G2 Prime.

    Sorry but Rumble/Frenzy looks awesome in these pics. The sculpting is fantastic.

    Also where'd the chicken leg assumption come from? His legs are completely straightened. The pic of him with his piledrivers confirms it.

    I'm really only digging Wheeljack and Scourge out of this bunch.
    I like Grapple, but I already have Inferno.
    G2 Prime is just weird looking to me.
    And I really just don't like R and F.

    Like I said after seeing the first picture, if this Frumble didn't have such skinny legs, it'd look great. There's so much bulk and mass up top and the balance looks a little off.

    Maybe some of the elements are there but it was mentioned as a G2 homage straight from Hasbro in the club magazine, and the colors make it obvious enough that it's definitely Laser Prime.

    Haven't you heard skinny little legs called chicken (or just bird) legs before?

    I really like Wheeljack, he looks simply amazing.

    Prime and Scourge look really nice too. They are doing a really nice job with this round of classics.
