Cybertron Con 2012 Coverage: Transformers Prime Deluxe Rumble and Sergeant Kup Revealed

What is up with the continued "there's a face on the chest!" designs of Prime?

If HasTak doesn't make at least one of these guys into a Headmaster for a honkin' ginormous robot I am going to totally feel teased and want a reimbursement for that dinner and bowling shoe rental I bought for them....

...'nuff said!

That's the Ironhide design!

I hope Ironhide is not the new Skyquake; Col. Saucer is a kind of doofy-looking repaint.

Hasbro, why you keep making me ?

@@#$!$*&()%^$ Sweet!!! I like them both (though not incredibly fond of Kup's bot mode.) I hope they'll appear in the show!

Also, based on this and the unreleased RTS Rumble, Hasbro wants to sway us towards RIB. :/

It's getting to where I can't tell what's a repaint anymore...

EPIC WANT!

They're kind of opposites. Kup is meh in robot mode (but then again, so is the pic's quality, so we'll see. His alt mode is good, though. Rumble looks brilliant in robot mode, meh in car mode. Rumble is already a definite buy, Kup depends on how he looks in later pics.

Assuming I can find them, these will both be pick ups for me.

Ok, Kup is a green Ironhide and Rumble stole Animated Bumblebee's alt-mode?

Well I'm always happy to have another incarnation of Kup at the least.

rumble looks like a smart car lolz but they both look good, i think im guna skip Kup when he comes and hope for ironhide and airachnid in wave 4

Nice, but now this means I have to buy Ironhide AND Kup.

Rumble looks pretty decent but I wish he was Frenzy. I really hope they get to repainting him red and it's not Japan-only.

I really hope Rumble doesn't have all that yellow and instead has purple

the only bad things ive noticed about rumble is his shoulders appear to be most of the top of the car, and he's a full sized deluxe so he cant pop out of soundwave's chest

I mentioned earlier that I didn't like the ironhide paint scheme, and foolishly I didn't realise that it was a kup repaint, but still, I don't like it. Its not got the details that make kup 'kup' if you get me.

If they give him a new head sculpt and change the weaponry options that kup should have, then I can buy up this new version of the cranky warhorse.

Rumble on the other hand, its a good update on a classic character, just got to have the red n black repaint and we have our frenzy (or is it the other way around? Lol)

Rumble is MINE
Kup is MINE
Ironhide is MINE

Now I need to see Breakdown, Airachnid, and Dead End. Then I'll be the happiest asshole in the world.

Hmmmm.. I'll take my classics Kup any day..

Right with ya gyro

I wonder if making kup out of ironhide will become a regular thing.

yep, ironhide---kup is the new ironhide---ratchet

I just realized how much Rumble looks like Armada Sideswipe? Kup's body is too long also.

Outstanding. So far, I still haven't decided whether or not to invest in this line beyond a few figures, but I may have to extend the "few" part to include these ones.

For the first time in a long time, way to go Hasbro!

passing on kup. The mold works better with ironhide (since when does kup have CANNONS?)

Getting rumble and the inevitable frenzy redeco

The Kup/Ironhide mold looks like they took the movie vehicles of Ironhide and Ratchet and melded them together. I'm ok with Kup having canons, if Wheeljack can be an expert swordsman, Kup can be a badass warrior with canons. Rumble is ok I guess. The pile drivers in vehicle mode look odd.

these i will buy

INTERESTING

kinda like kup but not enough to spend $13 and rumble is an easy pass. Oh hey & look RUMBLE IS BLUE, sorry i couldnt resist.

I think they look great, but we American fans shouldn't get too excited about these until we actually see them on the pegs.

You see the kind of attitude 'bro has instilled in me? I'm like Buzz Killington now!

A laser piledriver. Like a sonic screwdriver, only LASER.

I smell a deluxe Ironhide. Kup Looks a lot like the cyberverse Ironhide.

Not loving either of these, but I can see a Classics Hoist retool in there somewhere.

Yes. Rumble is blue. Thank you, Hasbro.
I'll probably pass on Kup, though it's a nice looking figure.

...and Rumble has a happy face to boot.

Can't unsee.

I wonder if this means they could finally be releasing the red version of the RTS Rumble/Frenzy mold? Probably wishful thinking...

I hope they do a Frenzy repaint of Rumble.
