Many thanks to Action-HQ my ass! Damn Hong Kong thieves! Just like all the Hong Kong Ebay sellers, raping you on the shipping! HobbylinkJapan can send an Alternator to the USA for around $8.00, Action-Hq wants $26.99. If you order Rumble & Ravage from Action-Hq the total for both is $90.00. Bastards! I would've ordered mine already if it weren't for the ridiculous inflated shipping price.

I do not care what you say. There is no way HLJ can ship a BT from Japan to the USA for $8. No way.

I'd like to see them do this mold again as Soundwave, with slight remolding of course.

Christ, are these Alternators ever available ANYWHERE!? I mean if people in the US are having troulbe getting thier mitts on them then what about the rest of us? oh and this is a fairly sucky toy anyway, so I can hardly care much if I dont see it! It needs hands!

I agree with the whole "he needs hands" opinion or maybe if he had elbows it would help. I'm not saying I'm not gonna buy him, cuz I am, but darn it he just doesn't look that good without any kind of hands. Can his piledrivers even touch the ground?

Probably my favorite alt mode for all alternators... maybe it's cuz Im Asian... ;p
I hope that this will be released or be avalible on HTS or smthing.
Well, I don't mind so much that he has no hands, but elbow joint would be much appreciated.

i like the idea of rumble, but it seems like soundwave should have come first as an alternator/binaltech. Love the alt mode but honestly not nuts about him not having hands as an option in bot mode.

1/ Rumble had hands..they transformed into pile drivers sometimes but most of the time both he and Frenzy (which to me this IS) had hands.
2/ Ravage and Nemesis Prime were on sale by the bucket-load by some Hong-Kong sellers at the recent Japanese Tokyo Wonderfestival Winter 2007. I suspect that next week, if these are available in Hong Kong, that they will be sold at at the "Tokyo Toy Fair". Ill let you all know...with pics.

I like so much, I find Rumble one of the best an more originl designs for this brand. Obviously it would be better with a pair of interchangeable arms to put in Piledriver´s elbows but maybe Takara will do´em for some japanese version.

There probably will only be a "KISS" players version, with Frenzy having Pink and purple pile-drivers to use with his nubile 16 year old Japanese schoolgirl pvc figure called "DAM-me-Chan" (geddit? DAM, Herman, dam, plus "damme" as in "no dont!" in Japanese)

actually, rumble DID have hands. They transformed into the pillars (Pounders, whatever) before he used them, it wouldnt have been hard to make his arms transform into hands

The "arms" are spring-loaded BTW.
