    I showed that picture to my wife and she thought the HasTak version looked better.

    You are more than likely right that we will only see the four you mentioned plus Ratbat but I hope that at least Squawktalk & Beastbox also see a release. There was the Madman comic release back in 2007 that does show what a toon Squawktalk & Beastbox (as well as their combined Squawkbox mode) could look like:

    Disappointed that Showz has it for so much more than BBB did. Now we know why they didn't list the full price earlier.

    They clearly posted this image because they had the back mistransformed in their earlier images.
    I'd rather complain about it on a forum though.

    Wonder if Baba and ShowZ will drop the price a month after release. Decisions, decisions.

    It's "sold out" now, but I have a feeling they will magically have stock later.

    Im guessing Bombusbee gets considerably more stock than ShowZ and Baba and can then offer them at a lower price.

    I cannot recall exactly within this thread but some members were saying they prefer the MMC interpretation and would like to see a side by side between frenzy/rumble by RP and MMC.

    Product info for RP AWave has Soundwave as being 9-9.1 inches tall in bot mode. On Robotoybase site, they disclose RP Frenzy/Rumble as being 5.3 inches tall.

    Emgo vid for MMC Rioter/Fury says they are deluxe scale in bot mode. Below is rioter next to deluxe Jazz and MP Soundwave:

    BDAC7B5C-8B61-4DF2-90D2-B7FC2AD4F6BB.png

    So potentially RPs Frenzy and Rumble will be similar scale/heights in bot mode to MMC.

    But when you see MP13 next to RP AW and are very similar heights in bot mode, I cannot help thinking RP Frenzy/Rumble are shorter than MMCs when you see the images below:

    4ABEB35F-2C08-44E9-8BC3-19247E1001EA.png

    So who should we believe for how tall RP Frenzy and Rumble are?

    I think the RP ones are shorter in bot mode than MMC Frenzy and Rumble from the images.

    The hard part is guessing whether or not they will be available after preorders are filled. If so you have time to decide, but if not then the late tax will likely apply. I've paid the late tax too many times.
