AM Wildrider looks a bit different from the initial teaser images, color-wise; he's less blue and more darker gray, which is fine by me. He's preordered and bought; hopefully the rest of the Stunticons are made in the TFP line somehow (black/purple Ultra Magnus would make a great Motormaster). Frumble coming with a piledriver micron isn't too surprising, though I'm not overly fond of the choice of color for it; that tannish-orange plastic looks tacky and doesn't go too well either either a blue or red bot wielder. I do wonder if the molds will still include the stock black piledrivers that Hasbro Rumble came with. Good find!
I think they are the same colour so you can borrow one and give the pair to a single bot - they don't tend to give the deluxes/Voyagers the 2nd or 1st accessories from the Hasbro version the Micron usually replaces them - there are some exceptions such as Wheeljack and Shield Strike Optimus who does have his sword/s. I don't really see the need for another overpriced reissue of Devastator though. I guess the Brown Megatron 'Vehcool' is a slight tweak to his Dark of the Moon colours. The Yellow Ratchet is a sort of Movie 2 homage or perhaps to the yellow Animated Ratchet toy and I can only guess what the Green Jazz is - though it reminds me a bit of G2 Deluge though. If they have no western version of those I shall have to import them along with the variant Bumblebee.
Am I the only one who's getting an Animated Wreck-Gar vibe from that megatron, especially in disguise?
Well that explains those becool listings I saw on HLJ. Although at $7 a piece I think I'll pass. Okay maybe not for that Shockwave, but I'd need better pics of him. AM Wildrider is a definite pre-order. Kinda weird since I've gone for all the recolors/retools and yet I have no interest in Wheelkjack himself.
