Really guys...

getting hung up on a girl being in a Transformers review video, no matter what the reason for her being there, is really, really lame.

Wingman advice: Let it go Indiana. Let it go.

I'll wait for the Hasbro version as it will be cheaper, doesn't come with the crappy trailer and by the sounds of things will be a bit more colourful

The assumption being passed around is that the factory rushed out the production before the Chinese New Year, which is currently taking place. I don't know if that's really true or not, but that's what people are saying.

Whether or not the factory rushed, the leg panels are clearly a design flaw. The hinged one is fine, but the one that utilizes the swing arm is just badly designed. No way around it.

I see. That sounds quite probable to me. It's a shame after they've obviously worked so hard to give Rodimus an Masterpiece that is every bit as great as Grimlock and Optimus Prime but the poor quality has ruined it.

Could it be Hasbro to the rescue?

I hope we won't have to wait too long.....

God, I just watched the Optibotimus video after having transformed Rodimus for myself.

He manhandles that toy. There's a reason he has two broken parts. Sheesh.

I am betting that the Hasbro version will have the same problems as Takara since they use the same mold.

I just watched Peaugh's review of MP-09 and he did an amazing job with reviewing it. Indicating what people have had problems with and if he had them as well.

I am completely in love with hot rod / rodimus prime himself but i do not like his trailer.

I love the alt mode of Hot Rod in it. It is completely 100% sexy. I just can't bring myself to pay $100 for Hot Rod and $100 for the trailer Definitely gonna wait until Hasbro releases there version. Also considering rumors have it he is coming with Firebolt and will be $100-$120 cheaper than this version. Maybe they'll box him with the display case

Definitely getting protector armor instead to tide me over until he hits the states.

Oh and for all the videos saying he does not have clearance to ride on all four wheels...i have proof he can!!



the proof is in Peaugh's video...which i have below...

There is clearance!!

I believe in my review I said and I quote: "He rolls... but juuuuuuuust barely."

Really? Manhandles it? First off, it took me 5 hours to transform this figure the first time, that's how careful i was being. Second of all, during that 5 hours of carefully transforming him and learning how to do it, that's when it broke in two pieces. Both parts that broke on my figure have been widely reported to break on other peoples. Don't presume i handle the thing terribly. If things look bad to you, know that in my review, that i shot it over 5 days. I'd practice sections, carefully, then shoot them. At times that you might think i'm manhandling it, it's because i felt comfortable with the durability of the part i was manipulating.

Finally, i shouldn't HAVE to be careful or worry about manhandling something that cost 200 dollars. It should be durable enough to handle some "stress".

It actually took me a little over 5 days to make mine with a total of about an hour and a half worth of footage that i edited down. Of course...i showed EVERYTHING in my video and not just sections like many many others have done

Yeah, I wasn't even going to TRY. The same pieces broke on mine that broke on yours. I just simply don't have the time to make a video that long. I figured I'd leave that up to the "professional reviewers." I honestly can't believe you squeezed the transformation into THAT short of an amount of time. In retrospect, I doubt most people will spend the time to transform it back and forth anyways. My Masterpiece collection is really for display only. I leave them in 'bot mode.
