Should fit the Siege/Earthrise ones. Don't know about the SS Bumblebee one. Does make me wonder if an SS86 Soundwave might be incoming.

Knormal posted:

At 3.5" tall there's no way it's going to fit in any Soundwaves. Well, maybe the MP. The "micromaster" Rumble that fits in Legacy/Earthrise Soundwave is like 1.5" tall max. The cassette bots were always mass shifters, and I'd rather have a to-scale robot mode than Soundwave integration.

I don't want to say the older toys were better, but the more compact shapes at least gave it a silhouette that passed the "could be a spaceship" squint test a little more.

Well obviously the new toy is using mass shifting like I said. :colbert:

Actually the real answer seems to be the 3.5" measurement was way off and the new tape guys are only slightly taller than the last ones.

Also the developer confirmed this Rumble still doesn't have elbows, which is really disappointing. I hope a 3rd-party company makes new arms.

In other core class news here's a gallery of Bombburst, who looks like he'll make good friend for Iguanus.

3.5'' is the general scale of Core class, but that Spike thing was sold in a Core class package with Bumblebee. Maybe they're rolling up everything Micromaster/cassette sized into that size branding too.

5mm posts on his arms! Stick him to Bulkhead and have him dangling off, or load him up with Energon weapons like Bulkhead's gun or Arcee's blades! Or just have him carry Iguanus around! I love it!

The Micromasters were about the same cost as a Core class figure and I guess Rumble's accessories are replacing the other figure in the pack for plastic budget.

I guess I'll grumble ever so slightly as I hand over my cash like I always do anyway?

At least Frenzy (from the SUPERIOUR JAPANESE DUB) has his piledrivers, though. That's really what you want for cool action poses regardless of what you call him.

SS Enemy when, Hasbro?

Anyway that guy is 3.5 inches if you put his pile drivers on his head.

Having gone and checked the scene in my brain is Megatron transforming into a plane made of splinters, not the Fallen transforming into a plane made of splinters.

It's not a kit just a toy and yes Sentinel have released the R-machines individually over the last 6 months as part of their Riobot line, with a package containing all 3 releasing at the same time as R-3. There's also gonna be an R-gun coming out in december. I got them piecemeal but didn't wanna make an album until I had all 3 so they could do the thing.

You can find all 3 on Mandarake, a japanese second-hand store I use a lot:

It got better, but not by much. The two issues where the Protectobots go back to the Lost Light, which fills in most of the details for Getaway's coup, were a highlight if a bit deus ex machina to steal a phrase
