But BOTH are required if he ever wants to make it as a ballet star!

Now I want to see a musical of the Autobot and Decepticon communicators as rival gang leaders with their cassettes as the gang members in a really WEIRD variation on West Side Story. And for maximum weirdness, play the script entirely straight from start to finish.
Second'd!
Also, isn't Ironhide without the stripe just Tote?
You fool! You've just justified the purchase of a third Ironhide toy in as many years!
I can't do it with out Tote's iconic grey chest and handsome grey face and iconic windshield feet.
-ZacWilliam, I wish I was kidding but Tote was my all time favorite micromaster and I need a Tote who looks like Tote as a robot damn it.

Cool to see Movie Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak and now Rumble and you would have to guess eventually Frenzy. But damn, can Blaster and his dudes get some love? We got a GREAT Blaster figure and a weird translucent eject. And no word of anymore to come.
With this core class Rumble, there's a chance we'll see core class Ramhorn and Steeljaw this way.
How so? Or do you mean Eject and Rewind?
Rumble is the Siege version with a backpack, piledrivers and guns to reflect his G1 cartoon model and toy, Ramhorns G1 toy originally came with attachable missile batteries and Steeljaw with attachable guns.
Basically, since some of the tapes were featured in the movie, there's a good chance we'll see them in the Studio series line.
Nuh uh. SS86 Rumble is a brand new mold.
Yeah, I had thought it was a remold at first, too, but every part is different.
This new design / management team is not at all afraid to take another pass at recently released characters. I'm not 100% positive about how I feel about that. Often times they DO end up being improvements, like Rumble here or SS Ironhide, but I have to be careful about being too upgrade-happy. Rumble I will buy, but Earthrise Ironhide will do just fine for me.

Speaking of the whole "not afraid to take a pass on recently done characters", I would really, really like it if the team could take another pass and do SS86 Galvatron. I mean, the Kingdom/Legacy version is okay and I have really tried to like it, upgrade kits and all. But try as I may, I just don't see '86 Galvatron when I look at him. It's just too off-model.

I wasn't planning on getting Coronation Starscream, as much as I wanted the accessories. But Walmarts here finally started putting out stock and they've immediately gone to 50% off ($39 CDN).
Hopefully I can flip the figure itself for a few bucks and basically get a very decently priced upgrade set.

If you have the Thundercracker/Skywarp two-pack, you may want to keep him since the paint patterns of King Starscream fit with them a lot better than the original, plus it gives each seeker a small remold each (hands or faces).
According to Brickseek one Walmart has him for $30 USD. One across the street has it for $40. Hoping one of them drops to $25 and Ill snag him. Oddly enough Legacy Galvatron is on clearance as well.
I'm really hoping that I can resist the allure of a clean painted Galvatron should it hit clearance here!
Good point about the paint, though I always felt that Thundercracker and Skywarp were the lesser for lacking the striping on the tailfins.
Honestly, my biggest worry is that SS Starscream will turn yellow. My ER copy has held up so far, and it really doesn't make sense to keep both. It's not likely to be an easy decision.
Here he is marked down to $30. Its tempting but not enough.
