Rumble/Frenzy not so much. Their transformation looks identical to their G1 counterparts.

And no bicep swivel
Great posing there. They put a lot of thought into this part of the display.

Exactly.

you act like it is a bad thing? seriously then you do better. i dont care how a figure transforms, i only care that in both modes they look like they should... so if the transformation works, why over-complicate it?

soundwave... not sure about.. i'm very happy with the g1 incarnation, who i consider the best representation of his cartoon counterpart from that era. Then again I thought highly of g1 grimlock and got the mp anyways. Would've preferred if they included all the mp cassettes with soundwave. Also, classics ravage is pretty good.
i'm wondering if maximus will cannibalise other sales with collectors making an effort to afford him at the expense of buying other toys...

Egads. You're right so you are.

Someone attending Botcon? So looking at that FM I think it would be cool to see him in full devastator paint apps...I'm just sayin'.

Masterpiece Howlback and Whitenoise! RRRRRRGGGHHH!!!!!
Or, if they milk these molds for every conceivable repaint, we could get that and more over the next 3-6 years? Here's hopin' they don't just stop at replicating official repaints of the original molds, but go on to do Black-Cat, those generics from MTMTE crowd shots, and new characters made up to reclaim the Four Star repaints! (I've been calling the grey/blue Laserbeak "Steelgrave" after the Starrior)
And does anyone else see the Chevy logo on Frumble's chest? Probably just a coincidence of matching the old uneven line detail with a new show-accurate neckline, or something.

Looks like Red Alert is already sleeping on the job.
I am not so sure about MP Soundwave having working electronics. The supposed electronics are in his feet in bot mode and the ankle joint (which is a swivel joint) does not look like it is big enough to contain an electrical cord to go to the controlers.
Interesting that we haven't seen that much regarding the accessories that comes with Soundwave. For instance, what is the silver thing that attaches to his hand? What episode is that from? Haven't seen too much regarding the number of cassettes he holds. Also, looks like there an alternate door that can be attached to Soundwave that has grid lines on it.

Where does all this insecurity come from guys?

Id say all the accessories have already been announced or showcased in official pictures. The silver object is the one that they showed attaches onto his hand. The grid door is meant to be attached when your using the energon cubes to simulate them coming out of his chest just like in the cartoon.

Yeah the head is upside down ><

I don't think so, the details look moulded and they're on Soundwave's feet, which look to thin to accept and any cards. If it there is some functionality, then that would indeed be a great surprise.

Very small you-get-the-points.

All the large MP's have been packaged in robot mode. Red Alert is the first to come in alt mode.

Hadn't thought of that, though that'd make more sense than Christmas Maximus or Chuffer, given it doesn't exactly match either of their color schemes.
Is there a naming precedent for a Decepticon Fort Max? Maybe...Titan Maximum Maximus?!?
