I prefer Rumble. Frenzy isn't as interesting as his bro.

1) I'm getting the more superior AM version of this guy.
2) The prices are to expensive at the stores, but it's not your fault (I now realized that after October's high price topic)
3) Unlikely, but the FIRRIB/RIRFIB war would turn into a "fight" at a store between two fans (Due to the fact that the Marvel Comics follows the color scheme of Takara's first version of the cartoon, before it came stateside to America, while the English dub of said cartoon swapped the colors).
Still, why can't you reissue Frenzy and Rumble anymore, Hasbro?
This FIRRIB/RIRFIB term just makes me unsatisfied with flamewars.

The cartoon came to the US first, Japan got it a year later, in 1985

Wow! Who'd a' thought Aligned-continuity-family Enemy would get his own head sculpt! Now if only they do the same for the Garboil that'll surely come with Beast Hunters Soundwave...

The minicon is a bit derpy also. xD And paint is always better than stickers. =_=;
(Though I did enjoy building little Hot Spot here, but being a model kit, that's thee exception. )

I suspect he's referring to Thundertron when he said "Tigertron".godmaximonius wrote:Hey guys this is mine. Had this for a while as well as a Tigertron and Ironhide but kept them quiet because of the possibility of release. Recently was told by the person I got it from that I could do what I wanted with it because it wasn't going to be released. I had the Ironhide up here earlier in the FS forum after Sargent Kup released. Now does that mean it will never be released??? Can't say 100% but it was released from the factory to him which usually doesn't happen with stuff that will make it to production

The Arbalest is a mech from Code Geass. It is a Sunrise show.

Unless this guy has an established track record of showing these things off and also having samples of produced figures, then there is no validity to his statement. Keep your fingers crossed, folks.

whether or not it gets used by Hasbro, only time will tell.

Two less slots that could go to some characters that are actually in the show. I don't feel like waiting for another toyline just to complete the season 3 cast. Do that here.

Ah, THANK YOU! That's what it is! I was trying to put my finger on whatever was a little..."different". I don't hate it, but I agree, it could easily be an Autobot head sculpt.

You simply don't understand, the US has always wanted to take credit since 1984.

Then I should point out that in the 80's, outsourcing animation to Japan and Korea was common practice. The toys are Japanese, the animation was indeed Japanese, but the concept was still American.

Wait, I'm not done enlightening him yet!

Well, with the blue eyes (not that it matters that much, but still) could it not indeed be an Autobot? I doubt they'd try enraging the fans that much, but hey! Bold move it would be.

What she said. The Transformers brand all began with Hasbro and Marvel Comics in 1984. The cartoon came months later, and didn't hit Japanese shores until 1985.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:XDMan wrote:@Sabrblade & JelZe Goldrabbit

In short:
Japan came up with the initial set up (robots that turn into stuff), but Hasbro came up with the fiction behind it.

Well, Frenzy is a Decepticon. We know that from Exodus & the games. But were are supposed to get some side switchers in season three.

In the U.S cartoon, Rumble was lavender and blue while Frenzy was red and black. In just about everything else at the time, it was the other way around.

Dude...
The United States originally came up with the fiction, and several studios in and around the Philippines helped animate the cartoon, while Sunbow wrote the fiction. Japan saw the hubbub going on there and cut short the rebranding of the Diaclone line in favor of the Transformers. Therefore, G1 aired in America in 1984, while in Japan it aired in 1985. How can you not get that?
Posted by King Kuuga on December 24th, 2012 @ 2:28pm CST
FACT: This color scheme was shared by the Marvel Comics
FACT: The colors got reversed in the G1 cartoon
FACT: The G1 cartoon was written by various freelance writers, funded by Hasbro, handled by Sunbow Productions who had the animation done by Toei Animation and AKOM, and debuted in the US in 1984. American voice actors were the first voice actors to give life to the characters.
FACT: The G1 cartoon premiered in Japan in 1985.
FACT: The Japanese G1 cartoon reversed the names of Frenzy and Rumble so that their colors were correct with the toys and every other iteration.
FACT: Aligned Frenzy and Rumble aren't G1, and have been consistently portrayed as red and blue respectively, meaning the FIRRIB/FIBRIR debate doesn't matter here.
Now can we get back to discussing our potential Hasbro Prime Frenzy toy?

Though, the Takara versions of Prime Rumble and Prime Frenzy have their colors switched.
