A new image surfaced over at HK-TF showing what appears to be a new “classics style” Frenzy/Rumble. The picture is labelled “New 2010 TF” but it is unknown at this time whether this is an official product to fit in with the Classics/Universe line, or if it is a fan-made creation.
Further more we do not know if this will be Frenzy or Rumble. Or maybe it could even be Rosanna here to save G1? We have no further information at this time other than this image, but make sure to check back for all the latest on upcoming Transformers products!

Thing is by now if this was a garage kit some one would have claimed it, no clame makes me think hasbro.
Fort Max
Hasbro had better say something about this at Toy Fair.. only three months to go then!
OMEGAPRIME1983
I'm not so sure this is a garage kit. I think that if it were, it'd be more solid. The legs I don't think would be so hollow if it weren't official, as a garage company isn't bound by size class budgets like hastakomy is. I think its official, and it looks like it could be aproxinately a similar thickness in its possible cassette mode and universe ravage is… Maybe anyway. Or perhaps I'm just trying to hold onto hope that this will be at mass retail over garage companies online..

This was pointed out earlier, and the details don't match.

opkay i now have my doubts again and i don't know what to think XD

Here's what I don't get. If it's a fan company figure, what Soundwave does it go with?
If Hasbro decide to do a classics Soundwave at some point, I'd like it to be compatible with Universe Ravage.

Actually, all I know is the artist just drew a random character based off frenzy. It was never intended to be made into a figure, or a teaser for one. As others have now pointed out, the details are very different compared to the proto.
Cyber-Kun
I still hold on that its a official Hasbro design, and I will continue to hope until I hear a garage kit announce its theirs
Sso02V
Yeah, the only thing that makes them the same is that they both represent Frumble.
But by now, the "it's fansproject" whispers have soaked in, and won't come out no matter how hard you scrub.
Valkysas
The only similarity is that they're both the same character. every detail, every last one, is different. head, body, arms, legs, they're all a completely different design.
Ravenxl7
The artwork is definitely similar to the prototype, but it's most likely not supposed to be the same thing. If it was, the artwork would look pretty much exactly like the figure. The artwork appears to just be a generic looking Frenzy/Rumble design.
This still has the chance of turning out to be an official product. I'm not holding my breath or anything, but there's still at least a slim chance of that being the situation. We'll just have to wait and see.
ORIO
You know something don't you?
Oculophage
Do want.
Unless it comes with piledrivers. Meh.
grayman
If it transforms into something, I'll buy it.
Venksta
Don't get your hopes up that this is a Fansproject figure just because of that artwork.
grimlock1972
mystery solved ah well i wanted it to be official, ah well moving on
rapid_fire
nah, I dont want to get into that, its an obvious rip off of Rumble/Frenzy character. They make cool looking stuff, they should design their own characters, not steal other peoples. The commander trailer, I can let pass, its just an accessory kit, its a grey area at most, but this is pushing it too far.
pitty, Rumble is one of my favorite characters, I love that little guy
I hope you can understand my frustration. I come here because I love Transformers, I look forward to Transformers news and seeing new Transformers toys. When we get new pictures of Transformers, that aren't "Transformers" its annoying.

I've read at various posting about peoples views on certain Transformers products. In general to me, if I like it, official or unofficially authorized, have the means to get it. And I want it, Im getting it. That's just me.
Insane Galvatron
Actually, as long as it's a new unique design and does not use the names of any Hasbro owned characters or properties, they could make whatever they want, even in the US.
For example: You could make your own version of Optimus Prime, as long as it is a unique mold ( not just a copy of something hasbro has already made ), and you could sell it in the US as long as you don't call it Optimus Prime, or a Transformer. You could just call it robot-truck or something like that.

They're not. They (and their factory) have the benefit of not being based in North America or Europe.
