Transformers Prime Hasbro & Takara Version of Rumble & Takara Frenzy

No idea who this guy is right? Soooooo G1 right? Nah, just kidding! Rumble is one of Soundwave's minions that are supposed to be either in his chest at all times or they're well AVAILABLE to help him almost all the time. I will not get in to a giant explain which involves the history of the character. Just enjoy the figure no?

However This is the Hasbro version is NOT BAD for a Hasbro figure, a bit boring on his color scheme I'll admit. He comes with 2 guns that make this figure stand out. But not so much till you compare it with the Takara Japanese version. Why's that? Well the Takara version brings a lot of cool paint apps. While the Hasbro one stays a dull blue color.

I will not be posting pictures of their vehicle modes as they matter very little to the figures that're going to be displayed in robot mode.

1. Anyway without any more further explanations, Hasbro version is first:

I don't like the shoulder bits either, but they do look cool in their own way.

And quite pose-able indeed.

2. Now the Takara (Japanese version) Rumble:

So what's the difference eh? First of all the Takara version comes with a different head. Instead of 2 black blasters like the Hasbro version up there, it comes with an Arms Micron (Arms Micron = Minicons that turn in to weapons). But guess what? It comes with only ONE. But if you buy Takara Frenzy (whom I'll show at the end) You can then get another Arms Micron,as he comes with the same one.

Enough rambling, let's get you to see the Takara Rumble:

The "Cool" Blue.

Dual Arms Micron Guns.

 

He can Dance!

"Hey! You there!"

For those of you who thought these weapons look like pile-drivers, Oh please as if they could work that way on this figure. Bottom line: Stop imagining G1 =P

Yeaaaaa wash that car!

2. Takara Arms Micron (Japanese version) Frenzy:

Right so what the hell? Why do these guys look alike? Due to some G1 germs still present, they're brothers.

Well this is Frenzy.

I do think they should have done some light red for the Black parts and some Maroon Red for the normal paint scheme, but still it doesn't look bad.

I went and took Hasbro Rumble's Canons so this guy could be well armed. Poor Hasbro Rumble became a junker.

These guns look more like Gatling guns to me.

Brothers...in....Arms...How Gay HaHa!
