Speaking of G1 toy accuracy, one of these days it would be cool to see versions of the characters that reinterpret the original toys rather than their animation models.

Wheeljack with gorilla arms and a visor instead of a mouthplate

You could do the visor at least with a headswap from Exhaust.

No, the movie guy is Rumble, I'm talking about Studio Series Core Class Rumble (Blue), he's extremely distinct.

Colors and weapons are based on the Cybertron toy (who looked like Wheeljack) and the head is based on G1 Omnibot Downshift.

Red is the color of violence, frenzy is a violent state of being. Blue is the color of calm, a soothing massage chair could be said to rumble. My logic is flawless.

Yeah he sure is a... thing. Good plastic quality, him and Beachcomber are solid.

Senator Shockwave has some massive thrusters and a similar color scheme too, maybe they're related. The tiniest of "wings" strapped to those massive engines.

But what I really came to tell everyone is that Senator Ratbat's alt mode is Hortblack Desiato's stunt ship

I see 60 new posts and expect to hear about a sick new toy release and instead it’s nerds arguing about rumble and frenzy again. The real answer is it’s whatever color hasbro says it is in whatever media you are currently consuming and it’s only accurate to that particular piece of media. See also Pablo Wheeljack and various Michael Bay abominations.

Clearly the correct answer is Rumble and Frenzy just enjoy loving with people and just flip a coin to see who goes out when Soundwave calls for one of them.

This is how the IDW 2005 continuity seems to have handled it. Sometimes they're both just grey.
