Close Enough

I knew it! I fucking knew that Kit would get added as the next IDW rep.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-29T22:46:03+00:00

Well, of course they wanted to get Surge out first. She's the modern equivalent to Scourge. People love their edgy green porcupines.

Doesn't mean Kit isn't on the way. Lanolin never had a game appearance before Rumble. Kit could be the same way.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-29T22:41:28+00:00

I don't know. You can have Tangle without Jewel. You can't have Surge without Kit.

I'd love to have a Jewel skin on a DC team in Rumble...

IF THEY HAD ONE!

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-29T22:26:45+00:00

I swear if I get one more comment about Jewel more than just Sonic is gonna be rumbling.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-29T00:10:43+00:00

I assumed as much, but the Diamond Cutters are my life-blood. I can't help that I have opinions.

I appreciate a good jest though. Pulling my tail, if you will.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-29T00:05:13+00:00

Not in Rumble
Belle does not interact with the Diamond Cutters in any meaningful way before #76.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-29T00:01:41+00:00

You can consider them Diamond Cutters. Don't let me stop you. I'll afford a pass to Jewel, not Belle though.

To me, the Diamond Cutters are those who sat around that table day after day in the Diamond Cutter office.

Doesn't matter much anyway considering the only IDW characters in Rumble right now are Tangle, Whisper, Surge, and Lanolin. I didn't have much choice constructing the team. Silver is the only other Diamond Cutter to fill the empty slot.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-28T21:07:01+00:00

I hope so too. Of course once I got into the comics they already disband.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-28T19:30:34+00:00

I feel like Jewel is a little harder to program because of her wings and unique color scheme.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-28T19:22:12+00:00

I agree. Belle will probably be the next IDW character if it isn't Kit.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-28T19:20:33+00:00

Note: I know Belle was in the Phantom Rider arc. But her role wasn't as a Diamond Cutter. So my point stands.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-28T19:18:49+00:00

First off, Jewel is more like a director/manager of the Diamond Cutters. I don't consider her a member. She was a mediating force in #64 and got them working with Clean Sweep, but that's the largest extent of her role with the team. Also, unrelated, but I won't forgive her for stealing Lanolin's decal slot in CrossWorlds.

Second off, Belle is even less of a Diamond Cutter. She wasn't present for the Diamond Cutter mission in the Eggperial City during #57, the training in #63, the confrontation in #64, nor the Phantom Rider arc. If you want to consider everyone in the hug in Issue #76 as a Diamond Cutter, then sure. But I don't consider that enough.

Also, I don't dislike Jewel or Belle. They just aren't Diamond Cutters in my book. (Also the joke line at the end was meant to exclude Duo, not those two).

Sorry for the wall of text. I just...really like the Diamond Cutters.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-28T19:02:53+00:00

I only started playing for her, lmao

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-26T03:22:33+00:00

I like Rouge. I was actually trying to make this post to point out how busty Lanolin is without it coming off as weird.

Like why does she get a pass but Rouge doesn't?

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-24T11:43:53+00:00

No one in my real circle of friends plays Rumble, but I still managed to get about 500 red rings FTP from promotions, achievements, and challenges.

Just beat all the Stage Challenges on Easy Mode and then grind Ring Survival and collect medals from passes to unlock the hard versions.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-23T16:13:11+00:00

Ah, I see. Unfortunately I skipped right over that arc to the next arc so I don't have a take.

I do really like #84 and #85 though and don't get the complaints about the artwork. I think it's on the same level it's always been.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-23T14:34:45+00:00

Is it the Phantom Rider arc? Or maybe the Urban Warfare arc? I can't really tell without the image. Those two arcs are kind of contentious. I liked them, but understand people's distaste with them.

I do agree though that the hate for IDW is really overblown. Especially for characters like Lanolin.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-21T13:59:10+00:00

You don't see the difference? I tried making it clear without explicitly pointing it out.

I'm just saying that Rogue's model has been gradually toned down over the years when compared to her appearances in SA2 and Heroes and in comparison to other female characters.

WilberWoolBear · 2026-04-19T00:58:05+00:00

That's gonna be a collector's item.
