Site sponsor Kapow Toys dropped by with pictorial reviews of the upcoming Transformers Prime Deluxes Rumble and Sergeant Kup, and Voyager Dreadwing. Check these guys out below.
Kapow Toys wrote:Transformers Prime Deluxe Rumble
Wave 5 brings us 2 new characters in the form of Sgt Kup and Rumble. Apart from being blue and having blasters shaped like pile drivers that appears to be where the similarity between Prime Rumble and G1 Rumble finishes and he's all the better for it. Transforming from a quite boring compact car to robot he follows suit with the other Prime deluxe in being a little smaller than we've been used to over the years but it doesn't take away from the fact he is an awesome little figure. He looks the business in robot mode with very little ''kibble'' apart from the two roof halves which sit on his shoulders and in our opinion beef him up, the side panels of the car are cleverly hidden over his shoulder with little rocket launchers molded into the inside giving them a function rather than just having them sit there. His articulation is very good enabling him to strike all kinds of action poses with the only area being a little restricted the shoulders, this is down to the rocket launcher panels tilting forward but its not the end of the world and doesn't do enough to take away from what is a very original and very nice figure.
Overall we score Rumble 9/10 another great entry in whats shaping up to be the best Transformers line in some time.
Kapow Toys wrote:Transformers Prime Sgt Kup
Ever since Generations Kup has been a Sgt, enjoying his promotion he now decides he must also look like Ironhide which hasn't gone too well with Ironhides agents or Mrs Kup. I'm going to point out the faults first which are the big hinge / bonnet that hangs over his upper back in robot mode and the fact the cannons can be loose when plugged into the forearms, apart from that this guy is fantastic! packed full of articulation his proportions make him not only look great but also capable of an array of poses. There is no doubting he could have done with a remolded head as Kup but just imagine how cool this figure is going to be in red??? Truck mode is small but perfectly formed, the transformation is easy with the only gripe being a gap in the trailer section which you can see through, will kids care about this ? no so its not a problem as far as we can see.
Overall we score Kup 8/10 ( add another point if you prefer him in green )
Kapow Toys wrote:No time to pass opinion on this guy tonight due to time constraints but we thought you would like to see a gallery anyway. What we can tell you is he is a meaty Voyager like Megatron and transforms into a nice big jet! none of that Voyager Starscream tiny alt mode nonsense!
Enjoy!

Oh riiiiight I forgot all about Rumble or this supposed Rumble. I'll probably pick this up but it ain't no Rumble IMO. I'll have to think of what to don him as. For me I'm gonna pass on Kup, I might get him to pass along his pistolas to AM Ironhide which I can't wait until it's release!

I do and I LOVE it. I can't for the life of me figure out where they got the design idea! I mean, can any of you think of any amazing mecha with a design like that?
Oh wait.
I really, REALLY hope some third party decides to make some glasses for this mold.

I'm going to pick them all up.
The only reason I'm getting Kup is if Ironhide is a Tak exclusive and I need to import, I can put Kup's cannons on Ironhide's arms. Otherwise, I'll pick up Ironhide later and give Kup to a friend or something.
Rumble looks amazing.
Dreadwing could be beefier, but he's no surprise considering we've already seen him.

He looks nothing at all like Gurren Lagann.
He looks like Enki, he even has the Shoulder Rocket Launchers.
A White coat and some swords would complete him.

-sigh-, Gurren Lagann was not the first mecha to have a face on its chest. That honor goes to Gaiking. Bonus points go to me since the director of Gurren Lagann made his debut with the new Gaiking anime. The author did GL as an homage to all super robot anime especially Getter Robo.

Also, I think it looks more like Gaiking than anything.

I had considered that, but Enki is very lithe, where Rumble is very bulky. Enki's hips are noticeably wider than his upper torso is; it's shoulders are actually in line with the plates on it's waist. For the sake of mentioning it, Lazengann's silouette is similar to Enki's.
Gurren Lagann (and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann), on the other hand, has broad shoulders and large armor plates attached to his shoulder. It's also much bulkier, which Rumble seems to emulate.
I concede that GL doesn't have the back mounted missile launchers, buuut it's worth keeping in mind that the homage here is first and foremost to G1 Rumble, who had back mounted missile launchers.
TL;DR -- Rumble is more bulky, like Gurren Lagann; not lithe like Lazengann and Enki. Plus he's got shoulder armor bits, which seem to emulate the Gurren Brigade logo emblazoned shields on GL's shoulders.
I never implied it was the first. I only implied it was the best.
Honestly, I find Gaiking pretty...boring at best. What makes Gurren Lagann mechs so great is how stylized they are.

Not so sure why, but all the open piece hollow arms and legs are catching my eye and bothering me a little. Not too badly, but a little.
I like 'em. There are better figures in the line, but these are nice.

Those translucent yellow elbow joints on Dreadwing look worrisome. I can see the forearms cracking and falling off a few years down the line.
Rumble looks awesome. It's a shame it'll probably take Vehicon and Airachnid's place as a royal b***h to find at retail.

So I think I may have to slap on a

if there is one cuz it's just begging for one

It's just because, like on Vehicon, it's dark purple on black. The white background doesn't help.
Now, if I had to guess where it ends up in robot mode...I'd say it's either attached to the black pieces that rotate up to form his instep and inside leg or...it ends up inside his torso somewhere you can't see it (unless it's supposed to be visible in the mouth or something).

Rumble looks fantastic. Not right for a Classics stand-in, but I've got United Rumble & Frenzy for that, so this guy will end up on my shelf of random awesomeness. Passing on Kup, no need for him as I have Generations Kup (who is far superior IMHO). Dreadwing looks great, I'll consider picking him up after I get my hands on some of my current hard to find Must-Haves.

Rumble does look like he could be Soundwave's little friend (hopefully in the cartoon as well), just like Laserbeak is. 
He will be mine, but does he actually include a DVD?
Kup is great and won't clog the shelves unlike the United/Generations figurine for a few reasons:
1) You can repaint him into Ironhide if you want;
2) He has better articulation; and
3) In case he isn't redecoed into Ironhide, then we could give Kup's cannons to the Arms Micron release.
And while Kup looks nice next to Hot Shot, Iron hide looks nice next to Optimus.
And Dreadwing? Well, he could sell more than his brother, Skyquake.

They all look pretty good. I think Rumble will be on the show. They have to explain the face in the chest. Kup looks alright but I'll probably just wait on Ironhide. Lastly, MechTech still sucks.

Yes, way to point that out. I wasn't giving them an order. Guess I could have explained that better. I do think it's more than a coincidence though. That's a pretty obvious face. Hopefully, we get an explanation one way or another.

No, they don't. It could be just a funny coincidence, doesn't have to mean something.
Yes, way to point that out. I wasn't giving them an order. Guess I could have explained that better. I do think it's more than a coincidence though. That's a pretty obvious face. Hopefully, we get an explanation one way or another.

Eeeeh...I'm sorry, but there's no WAY I can get on board with a "best transformers line in some time" statement.
Most of them look very skinny and simian in my opinion, and I really can't stand this line or the show (even though I totally watch it.)
That being said, I'd pick up Rumble in a second to add to my generic "FOC Decepticon" group.
I'll pass on Green Iron Hid...I mean Kup.

The dual Gatling guns on Rumble are awesome. Not a fan of the pink-tinted windshield/windows though...Voyager Dreadwing is a must have!
