2016 Transformers Generations Platinum Rodimus Prime and Galvatron Set Revealed

Oh good, two toys people hate in a convenient, easy-to-not-want box.

Really? Titanium Rodimus? Universe Galvatron isn't so bad, but TITANIUM RODIMUS?! I know, not much else to choose from, but still...

What if they molded him out of palstic instead?

Still not that good of a toy...

Titanium Rodimus was one of the better molds to come out of that line. Yes, he's sort of hollow chested in robot mode, but he has a decent transformation, and holds together well. Which is more than I can say for other titanium molds.

I think it was the only Rodimus option they had, but its not really as bad as they say. That Galvatron, had more issues than Roddy ever had.

At first I had no idea what Hot Rod I was looking at; I was all like "wait, is that just an extremely good deco of the Classics version? I heard it's not a great toy but hey, this could work - actually, is it a new mold? Are we getting this later in the year and I don't even have to pay a ton for it like Brainstorm?! Damn, this is--"
And then I cried for a good 20 minutes when I found out it was Titanium Rodimus. GG/10 boxset everyone would want; a toy from one of the more infamously bad lines and an infamously bad toy from a good toyline. What even is happening who made this decision

Also, free Matrix included with the set!

It's the anniversary of the 1986 Movie, and Hasbro probably just did what they could with available molds. There really isn't another official toy outside of G1, Titanium, and Masterpiece. I do like someone else's suggestion that they should just have released the G1 molds as an Encore style in movie accurate colors...

Their only other option would be the Energon versions for both (with the smaller Energon mould used for Galvatron). And those have their own problems.

That said ... I kinda wish they did use the smaller Energon Galvatron mould redecoed into actually good colours. It's not perfect by any means, but I think it's work better than the tank version.

But both of these moulds are okay. Mediocre is just the right word.

Does anyone know the approximate price-point of this Autobot Heroes set yet?

Have they changed any of the colours on that galvatron?

I don't hate that mold as much as some but it does sting to think what it could of been like if he wasn't moved down a size class.
