    Wouldn't it be nice if the Piledrivers could extended? Like, seriously, that would of been amazing, and the stock photos could of been really nice. Either way, Frumble in blue is best cassette boy, so I want this lol

    I have not seen side to side comparisons, is Rumble a retool or a completely new mold to the Siege toy?

    He's quite a bit taller, I think.
    Here's an image from Google:

    Isn't the Piledrivers extendable?

    Nope, they're stuck in the position seen in the stock images.

    I already have the ss version, this part is tight but it can be removed. I think TAKARA TOMY version might be the same.

    There is an extension piece modded in if you look at the thinnest part of the piledrivers in the stock images and this one

    Hmm. Doesn't look like it's supposed to extend, but it's nice that it can.

    Maybe slightly off topic, but wow. I can't believe I don't remember the part where Laserbeak turned into a pink Bumblebee. I don’t remember a whole lot from those films, but man, that should have been weird enough to be memorable...

    It’s immediately after the decepticon Africa scene

    I forgot these existed ngl lol

    The blue one looks ok, not as stubby as the siege figure. Still wish he had elbows, maybe even a waist joint. Can this guy still fit into Soundwave?

    Hopefully we'll see the red one soon.

    "Laserbeak" looks decent, I'm surprised they referenced this scene lol. Reminds me a lot of the old Cyberverse Bumblebee figure from back in the day. Maybe I'll pick him up if I see him.

    He can indeed fit into the Seige Soundwave, and other versions of the mold.

    This is what I was most interested in hearing... it's a shame there were... compromises... so neither version we have is 'best'... guess I'm keeping my MP tapes.

    I hope they do Legacy Frenzy (blue) and make him toy colors. Then do a Rumble (red) just to mess with people.

    Or they might call it "Frenzy (purple)".
