I'm really diggin' this design. Not only is it wonderful to get more Cons, but I think it's very innovative as Alts go and it's nice to see a beast mode be the primary robot mode once again. Still gotta decide what to do with Kittyvette though.

Agreed! Rumble and Ravage are nice detours from the norm.

yeah but my point was that Takara is bailling in favor of Kissplay, which is mostly repaints of the current wave of alternators, so alts as far down the road as Ravage and Rumble may have been abandoned.

Dont beleave that. They said we'd get some new bot next year (which really means November/December)

All the Kiss bots (save for Prime) have remolding. HotRod's seats and head are new molds.

Actually, all Hasbro said was that they were done releasing Alternators for this year.

 

They actually haven't indicated if these new guys will come out during Classics, or after the movie line. Although they should hopefully provide this info at BotCon. My guess is that Rumble and Ravage are likely to receive new packaging to fit in with whatever line is currently on shelves.

 

Hmmm, it actually just occured to me that they might even potentially come out together as some kind of set since they're both former Cassette bots.

new seats on hotrod?

If you look at his seats, they have round dimples. His steering wheel has maroon details (or is completely maroon?)

 

They are the same as Alt Mirage's as he has the dimples as well. The only remolding is the head.

:tfevil

When is Botcon? I'm feenin for some painted new alt molds.

It's at the end of Sept. the weekend of the 30th if I'm not mistaken.

If they do make a car carrier Soundwave then they should do a repaint for Ultra Magnus. (You knew it was coming)

Funny, I'm envisioning Soundwave being a blue repaint w/ head remold of MP Op, with a nice blue trailer... The trailer carries 1 alternator, soundwave carried 1 tape...

 

Even funnier, I'm evisioning me actually picturing that looking almost okay... almost... :redface
