The entire Rumble is Red/Blue thing. Having alternate colours buys into it. Changing the name in the west and only releasing one of the obvious colours alongside the odd one. I suspect if they'd released the blue one instead of the yellow one in the west there would have been much less demand for the yellow than there was for the blue. Ok, but in context Scrapmetal was released at a time when the main customer base the toys were aimed at were kids, not adult fans. Said kids would have had no clue (or interest) in the Rumble red/blue thing. The likes of us were a small part of the overall sales (compared to 2024). What colour was Scrapmetal in the show, ie what the kids would have seen and wanted a toy of? -Ralph |

It was all three colours, plus a one off variant.
There is a large amount of homage to the original Transformers line in Galaxy Force, and Cybertron (and the preceding lines Energon/Superlink), which Ramble is just a part of. It's use leads to Hasbro going full on with Classics next

The only true Rumble is the one in my head which is bigger than Tracks.  Martin |

Okay, I'm not disputing that Ramble is Rumble, but your own rules say it should say Rumble on the box, but Scrapmetal doesn't have that, nor is he red or blue. That's like saying Enemy is a Rumble, or Siege Knok, right? Don't try to get inside his head, Man. Just don't do it. |

I recognise them as Rumbles with the wrong name! By your definition, if it doesn't say Rumble on the packaging then...it is not a Rumble toy. -Ralph Don't try to get inside his existential definitions, Man. Just don't do it. |

Finally remembering to do this, after a week of training courses and in-office days that distracted me. So, Rumbles: - Masterpiece
- Fall of Cybertron (Data disc - i.e. the best one)
- War for Cybertron
And I think that's it. Although with the MP and FoC, I don't really need any more. If there were ever any in an Encore set then we might have one of those G1 reissues kicking around, but I think usually that was Frenzy. Also I'm sure we have a couple of what in the West was known as "Scrapmetal" figures kicking around. And I'll just leave that comment there and walk away from it slowly... |
