    I'm sorry, I must've stopped reading the IDW run before this, but what exactly is his alt mode? Don't care about spoilers or something, just tell me :D

    IIRC I think it was a key or something. Would be kind of funny if the pre-order bonus for Mentis is all the silly "kibble" that the Functionalist Council glued onto him (some kind of drill tank ala Nosecone) so they could actually justify his existence under their own philosophy to everybody else.

    EDIT: Ninja'd

    In case you didn't know you can use the spoiler tag.

    His alt mode is "ornament." If you want the non crazy spoiler answer.

    The functionist council had him wear a scooter on his back for appearance's sake.

    So you are claiming that the fabulously elusive D-Zef will be released some day?

    Looks shit. What is the alt mode? A pogo stick? Why the huge backpack?

    Man....i like some IDW designs but dislike way more, and it all reads like terrible fan ship fiction. Sorry, i just don't get it.

    I think of it as a Cybertronian vacuum cleaner. I mean, he could have been a Scooter, but no, has to be something like that.

    When writing a message, put *SPOILER=* and */SPOILER* on the front and back of your message.

    Replace * with [ and ]. Put that there so you could see the markdown without it actually putting spoilers in.

    And just like that... spoilers ahead!

    Shouldn’t the lines on rung’s chest be red, not yellow?

    So does this partsform or fold down on an armature without coming off the backpack?

    The backpack is suppose to partsform.

    It's literally not part of his alt-mode.

    Seems like a strange comment. You're free to post where and how you want, but .. eh.

    Unless you haven't noticed, everyone has been absolutely ecstatic about this figure. "Why?! How?!" you may ask ... well the answer is: These were well written characters created to appeal to older folk -- they weren't written as a way to entertain 8 year old boys as 22 minute toy commercials.


    Rung is a super super sweet "guy." He is fun/funny/smart/witty. I like him as a character and this is absolutely wholesome on a whole other level.
