Careful, we got a few fans around the boards who enjoy PRID Dead End very much...

Also, AM Frenzy is a darker blue than Hasbro's Rumble.

On that note, Reprolabels here is your next set. Make a set for Frenzy now. I can't wait to get these guys.

By "Frenzy" do you mean the blue one or the red one? Cuz Takara's Frenzy is blue.primerez wrote:On that note, Reprolabels here is your next set. Make a set for Frenzy now. I can't wait to get these guys.

I know this is an odd idea, any one hoping the Rumble/Frenzy micron's called Tako?
Posted by Sabrblade on December 26th, 2012 @ 12:38am CST
LOL, but alas, it is called Dago. Though, It is likely derived from "Tako", but having the syllable accents altered.SW's SilverHammer wrote:I know this is an odd idea, any one hoping the Rumble/Frenzy micron's called Tako?
Incidentally, it also makes his name look like it's also derived from "Dagon", who's sometimes portrayed as a sea god/monster.

I didn't want to say "the red car". But I suppose it would have been better than starting the RIBFIR debate again (and Reprolabels stickers take care of that issue).
Perfect time to just make slight alteration to the sticker sheets and punch out a new set for fans. I would definitely buy it.

I hope Wildrider's Micron gets a singles treatment as well. That would be on my buy list.

It always reminds me of Usain Bolt, if he were a giant Transforming robot vomiting coolant.

I thought it was an elephant but then I thought it was a warthog. That other thing looks like a robot from a 50's TV show.

Not sometimes, IS. Dagon is the Assyro-Babylonian/Semitic god of grain(as a symbol of fertility), fish, and fishing(as a symbol of multiplying). All depictions I've seen of the historical Dagon depict him as having the torso of a man and the lower body of some aquatic life form(fish, shark, or whale, it's hard to tell).
Lovecraft's is the same being, just "promoted" above being a human deity. It's why the Deep Ones(children of Father Dagon and Mother Hydra) are always so obsessed/involved with getting busy in his stories.

Then again, Rumble does look like a Dai Gurren... With Frenzy looking like a blue Gurren.

Could be a hybrid for all we know. Wartlephant? Or elehog?
And yeah, FnR's AM's do look like those ugly-ass robots from 50's scifi movie, don't they?
Personally, the first thing they reminded me of was those gold Aztec trinkets, carved in the image of their gods.

Dude, what other language do you speak? From what I've seen in your posts, you seem to speak more languages that all the taxi drivers in New York!
English (obviously), Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, German...anything I missed?

This gal doesn't kiss and tell
I do speak Dutch, English, German, French and Spanish, in that order. I can also read Latin and Greek, though they're rusty (my teacher will be so sad). For Japanese, I can only properly read the hiragana and katakana, which the names are made of. Kanji and Chinese characters I need to look up, but I have two wonderful sites for that

But lets see what Takara's Dead End looks like.
Posted by Sodan-1 on December 27th, 2012 @ 4:47pm CST
While I do really like the new head for the twins, the head on Hasbro's Rumble is just far too badass to pass up. Alternate heads work for me though as I'm not thinking of these two as Frenzy and Rumble anyway. That said, I wouldn't mind those gold stickers on his chest.

I don't think there will be any. These will be the final new mold releases in Arms Micron, before TakaraTomy's shift into Beast Hunters. We still have Jet Vehicon General and Final Battle Megatron (the one with the Dark Matter Calibur), but that's it.
