I like how the thumbnail for the news story down at the very bottom of the page is just a shot of Rodimus's crotch. :lol:

Wow...Color me impressed...and that is saying a LOT about a Rodimii when that kind of praise comes from me, a self-proclaimed Rodimus/HotRod HATER! That is VERY pretty indeed!

Well, Amelie will be thrilled. It's actually magenta and not red.

If (when) I get him he will be in that pose with the matrix over his head. That picture with him "lighting our darkest hour" is the coolest thing I have seen this guy do... Just that pose along changed my mind about purchasing him.

Not a fan of skirt armor though, that's his only downside...

That is one nice looking figure. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it but I'm definitely sold on it now. I'd like to get the Hasbro version, so I hope that looks great as well (and hopefully that bonus item they were talking about is Firebolt).

I don't know why some people don't like him. I think he's awesome & can't wait for him to be part of my collection.

Does anyone have any idea how tall he is, in both Hot Rod & Rodimus Prime modes?

Isnt it nice when a figure upper legs are in proper proportion to the lower legs, this allows the figure to adopt bended knee poses properly.

I wasnt going to get MP Hot Rodimus and I held off buying but now I think I want one and Kapow Toys is out of stock. :(

I'm actually getting excited about this figure now! I'm very happy to see his crotch plate moves cos I thought his leg articulation was seriously hampered. Love the blade attachment too.

This is definitely an addition to my collection. Matter of fact, I'm getting 2. One Rodimus and one Hot Rod.

I'm not liking that crotch plate, I wish it was in 3 parts like Prime's. It would look a little better that way. Grimlock's was pretty well-done too. I'm also surprised he's not as dark red as the G1 toy. The colors could be darker in general, especially the face and hands. Other than that he looks great! Too bad I can't afford it. Oh well, maybe I'll have the luxury of being able to choose between Takara or Hasbro.

I'm guessing he'll be the same size as MP Grimlock, and since their the same figure, I'm pretty sure Hotrod and Rodimus will be the same size. =L

I can't read what was posted but what I've seen looks really awesome. They even paid attention to upholstery detail. Gotta love that! They've outdone themselves w/ the welding matrix, torch, and buzzsaw accessories being included. If I were collecting masterpieces I'd definitely want this in my collection.

Yup, I am seeing nothing that is making me regret buying MP-09. The best $180 I spent on a Transformer in a long time (maybe since MP Grimlock). This is my Rodimus Prime, Hasbro's will be my Hot Rod.

I think I read somewhere that this Hot Rod figure will be coming out in the UK but without the trailer attachment, is that right? Just wondering if anyone knows when it might be coming out? Perhaps in time for Dark of the Moon? :)

The Hasbro release will not have the trailer. I don't know how wide the release will be though.

Speaking of Hasbro release, have we ever seen the trailer with the maroon-colored Rodimus? If we haven't, wouldn't it be safe to say:

- Takara's will be toy-accurate red
- Hasbro's will be show-accurate maroon

Very cool pictures! But jeez, can't we get one stinking photo of him with another MP figure?
