The body for this figure is pretty distinctive in that if you have Rewind it's pretty recognizable as "Rewind's body". To any fan of G1 the head is instantly recognizable. The head is largely based on Rumble's G1 animated look featuring a blocky section on the top of the head with a central crest, thin panels on the sides of the "helmet section" and visor eyes with a nose and mouth. Rumble features a brand new head sculpt, replacing Rewind's head. Since rumble is not a Titan Master, there is no additional ten points of power on the scale that you would find on say, the tech specs card for Skullsmasher's tech specs card. These are laid out on the X axis of a bar chart with lines going across from a scale of one through ten. The four icons are: A robot flexing arms (strength), a character running (speed), a brain (intelligence) and a missile (firepower). The back features something fans have wanted since last year: tech specs! These are not traditional specs with a full motto and so on, but instead there are four qualities reflected here (via icons). The front features the character's artwork, giving you a better look at the full body. However these cards are shaped differently, with corners cut out on two sides. Titans Return figures come with a collector card, similar to last year's "Combiner Wars" series. Interestingly the artwork shown for Rumble is just a Photoshop of the CG render for Rewind, so he still has Rewind's head but rest assured the actual figure has a new head sculpt. The back features the figure in all modes along with the requisite legal information in multiple languages. If you are facing the card, the artwork for the character is on the left while the Transformers logo is set vertically on the right. The style continues the style used for the "Combiner Wars" Legends Class figures such as Powerglide. Rumble is packaged in a bubble sealed on a card. This review will focus on the changes made to the figure for this release. Check out that review for details on the sculpt. Rumble is a redeco and retool of Rewind who was released earlier this year. Here's a highlight list of post-G1 Rumble-inspired releases: Over the years the character has popped up in the Transformers toy line several times. His brash personality and ability to generate earthquakes made him distinctive and most fans have fond memories of him. Rumble was one of the first Transformers I ever owned in the G1 era, and he was heavily featured on the G1 cartoon in the early seasons. One of the second wave of Legends Class "Titans Return" figures is the Decepticon Rumble. While other size classes in the "Titans Return" line focus on the "Headmaster" style play pattern, the Legends Class rolls forward bringing modern day versions of smaller G1 characters to life. Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro. Also includes a blaster accessory and a collectible character card with character art on the front and tech specs on the back. Subject to availability.) The figure changes from robot mode to tank mode in 12 steps, and from tank mode to spy tablet mode in 6. In spy tablet mode, the figure fits inside the chest compartment of the Titans Return Leader Class Soundwave figure. This Decepticon Rumble figure is a Triple Changer figure that converts from robot mode to tank mode to spy tablet mode. Titans Return Legends Class figures deliver exciting Transformers conversion play in a smaller scale. Though he's small in size, he's capable of bringing down huge targets by transmitting low-frequency ground waves that create powerful earthquakes. A demolitions expert who often speaks in rhyme, Decepticon Rumble is a trash-talking, Autobot-stalking brawler.
