O.k...I haven't been a big fan of the Botcon '08 set, but I must say I may have to shell out for this guy. That color scheme looks wicked, and if he has the 'stache from the comic, I'm considering him a must-buy.

The Original Mold was Classics Rodimus

Nice, but he looks just like Titanium Menasor except he's made of plastic instead of metal.

Well, guess what I'm going to have to buy on eBay a couple of years from now.

This Rodimus is awesome! I must have it! I'm glad I'm going again this year. Anyone who had doubts about this years set just needs to look at this figure. Now the only figures we haven't seen is Megatron(Energon remold) and the Armada Wheeljack repaint(Drench?).

Whatever happened to that 7:7 bot/con ratio that was claimed a while back? I've seen the seven 'bots, but only two 'cons. I want my Megs ; ;

Though I am quite pleased with the color schemes I've seen so far. Go go goateemobile!

God damn i want that. If any one could hook me up with one please let me know.

looks like titanium manasor for me. pass.

*groan* Not ANOTHER black deco of a figure. Black Optimus Prime, Black Rodimus Prime and now black Hot Rod. Hasbro's really uningenious with these Botcon exclusives, not to mention a little biased. Us whites are cool, too!
