Toy Images of Takara Transformers Sons Of Cybertron (Classics / Henkei Version)

It's great that they're firing up the Rodimus molds, again, but translucent plastic just doesn't look good on him. The painted parts stick out like a sore thumb.

The translucent Optimus? Pass. What a waste of plastic.

Still, for those of you who like this kind of thing, great!
And still, TakaraTomy deserves a +1 for Rodimus making a comeback.

Out of all the Prime molds they just had to pick the crappy one /sigh

So does BBTS have a preorder for these yet and am I missing it?

im still amazed by how im getting this special edition rodimus, and an optimus (lame as this mold may be) for less than what a regular edition classics or henkei rodimus would cost. usually its the other way around.

anyway, i cant wait to see how this hot rod looks in the protector armor

OK, any other suggestions for a deluxe-sized G1 Prime mold that hasn't been done in clear yet? In case you're suggesting the Voyager:

Henkei Clear Convoy

War for Cybertron Prime or the Animated Prime from the 2-pack with Megatron.

that animated prime is being used for the animated sons of cybertron set, and WFC is probably considered too new for this set

Too small and possibly too fragile. The waist construction isn't too good I've heard and I could see a lot of breakage with the less flexible clear plastic.

You mean this one?

I don't understand why clear figures are so popular. I get it when they have Ghost MP SS. It makes sense to me. The rest I just don't know. Can anyone enlighten me? I feel I might be missing out or something.

In the right light they're so shiny! Shiny!

I am all for Bling, just not transparent bling
