That's definitely Ravage then, innit.

Unless they're gonna swerve us and make it Steeljaw. :o

I'd love for it to be Howlback or whatever it was.

Nightstalker would be a nice name, but I suppose about 5 people would get the reference. :(

That's about 5 more than those who remember Howlback...

I feel a Howlback sig coming on, just to raise the overall level of Howlback awareness.

Thing's gonna be kibbletastic in kitty mode, innit?

Quite from the looks of the car underside, yeah. It's got a Ravage head, four paws, and the hip-missiles as on the G1 cassette. Of course, a proper robot mode picture will settle it for sure, but I'd be welling to bet as much as 50 cents that it's full-on feline.

This seems to cancel this week's "Alternators line is dying" debate. Now for next week...

Overall, looks quite promising. I still need more Decepticons...
Few stuff in the UK to trade/sell. Measly sales thread.

Looks good . Shame they can't give us some new ones instead of repeating a character they've done before.

Although we do have the Skids repain to look forward to

it would seem to be limited in its repaint potential can only think of Steeljaw and Howlback.

Well, the first Ravage alternator was really more of the Beast Wars incarnation than G1 (at least according to the BT storyline), so...

I vote Tigatron for a repaint. He liked his kitty mode more than robot anyway...

True, but his G1 incarnation was apparently jammed in the cassette player in order to provide a spark, or something.

Well, really hard to tell without a robot mode, but all in all, if it's a decepticon, then that's quacktastic. :p

I never thought we'd see a feline redux of Ravage. Seems like Hasbro/Takara would have designed a feline version first, then remolded him with a humanoid body. I guess they were trying to get as much use as possible out of the Corvette mold. Still, very cool.

Has anyone heard anything further on Alt Rumble? He seemed to be well advanced on the stage this thing is at, but I don't recall hearing anything about it in months

As best I remember, he's scheduled for the spring of 2007, so it'll be a while yet before more of him pops up.

Hrmm...I'm not thrilled to have a non-humanoid robot mode, but there's really no point in bitching about it since I'm just going to buy it anyway. Aaron Archer could probably **** in a box, call it Alternators number whatever, and I'd still buy it. As long as it had decent articulation anyway...

Haven't seen this mockup before.

That's what I'm talking about, this seems to be the only picture of him out there. Surely someone should have some more leaked test shots by now or pictures of Rumble in the bubble, or a gallery showing more pictures, poses and features of the Rumble we've already seen.

Someone out there on the interweb should take this as a big hint...
