Exclusive New Gallery: Behold, Takara Tomy's Masterpiece MP-09 Rodimus Convoy

Postby DevastaTTor » Wed Feb 16, 2011 6:21 pm

Ever since the release of Takara's MP-01 Convoy (Optimus Prime) figure, Transformers have hoped and speculated that there would someday be a MP release of his successor to the Matrix of Leadership, Rodimus Convoy aka Rodimus Prime. Last year brought us the news that fans would finally get their wish and in honor of the 2010 Transformers celebration, Takara Tomy would release MP-09 Rodimus Convoy.

In January, Rodimus Convoy was officially released and now we are proud to bring you the incredible gallery of this much anticipated yet somewhat controversial figure. This massive collection of over 500 photos (our biggest gallery to date) features views of all four modes, both vehicles and both Hot Rodimus (Hot Rod) and Rodimus Convoy robot modes, along with the packaging, all of his special features and gimmicks, and even a MP recreation of the death of Optimus Prime. Additionally, we are introducing new gallery file sizes, increasing our large format images from 800 pixels to 1200 and our medium-sized, default 500 pixel images up to 600.

And now, without further delay, we bring you MP-09 Rodimus Convoy!

I got mine last week and love it. Very accurate and cool. Anyone else having issues getting his legs to stay in place in Hot Rod vehicle mode? I thought it was pretty damned hard to get them into place and positioned properly, then to get them to stay was a little annoying...I have to admit though, he was a lot bigger than I expected.
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Everyone has trouble with everything! You have to rotate the thighs slightly to get the flaps under the car to stay tabbed in.

I got mine TODAY! It is a wonderful figure, tons of nods and features to the G1 movie. But he feels more fragile than any other Masterpiece. He feels delicate, especially with the shin panels. These pictures don't lie, this is the ULTIMATE RODIMUS! :x

If you're referring to Hasbro making their own MP Rodimus, there is a chance for that to happen. Hasbro did say that if they do, it'll come much later and most likely will not include the trailer.

If you're referring to MP Galvatron, then... only time (and TakaraTomy) will tell.

Excellent gallery, I'm in awe! Can't wait to see them in full size and save few for my archive.

I do wonder, what was the purpose of dismantling his head? I suppose we'll find out when Seibs gives his impressions.

Well, I mean as far as a mass-release, it was reported from Toy Fair that Hasbro would need someone to pick it up AS an exclusive. As a Hasbro version, less accessories, no trailer, no free goodies or supercool black box (that matches my other MP's). The plus side is that it will go to TRU, which rocks here in Myrtle Beach because (apparently) I'm the ONLY collector, and it will be less than HALF the price after shipping. In regards to Galvatron, I believe it is the next logical choice.

Postby BluavalancheZ71 » Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:30 pm

I received my Rodimus last week, overall decent figure. I do have one complaint that I would like to know if anyone else has this issue as well, the side posts on both guns are too loose. So, it is not capable of holding either gun in his hands, he does hold onto the battle station handles just fine tho. Any suggestions on how I can correct this? I am thinking of adding clear nail polish to the pegs on the guns and see if that help. Or plan B would take apart the hands and fill posts with epoxy resin and very gently open them back up with a dremel. Any other thoughts?!

When my MP-09 is transformed into Hot Rod, I display him next to my MP-04 Optimus and the scale is near perfect. When my MP-09 is transformed into Rodimus, I display him next to my iGear Faith Leader Optimus prime and the scale is pretty darn good. Faith Leader should be a tad taller to make him the same height as Rodimus. But it actually works well that way because you would think the new leader would be a bit bigger and stronger than the previous one.

This might sound weird, but after 25 plus years I am now actually ready to accept Rodimus Prime as leader of the autobots. When Optimus was brought back to life in season 3, he should not have assumed leadership. Rodimus was already established as the chosen one. Instead, Optimus prime should have served alongside Rodimus and acted as his wise council, much like Ultra Magnus had done. Optimus would yeild to Rodimus' decisions even when they were not in agreement. Despite Rodimus' superior strength (due to the Matrix) Optimus' experience would still allow him to whoop Roddy every now and then when they would spar. Over time, Optimus would follow in Alpha Trion's footsteps.

I passed on this one but i saw him at the comic shop in my hood the other day and i must say he is quite the sight to behold.

THat trailer when splayed out is F@$&#N MASSIVE i must say. I'm actually glad i passed on this release and am waiting for the N.American release.

I don't really have the room for such a massive accessory. it would just get tucked away somewhere out of sight. Those who do and have this figure should be happy though, all faults aside.

In The Headmasters anime, when Hot Rod became Rodimus Prime again, he and Optimus teamed up to fight Galvatron together. Optimus then had to sacrifice himself to stabilize Vector Sigma, and this time, Rodimus was a much more capable leader than he was before. It was Rodimus who then passed the torch of leadership onto the next leader Fortress when Rodimus had to leave.

I only have one leg panel that will not stay down. I can get my guns to stay in the hands if I angle the forearms slightly upwards. If his arms are straight and to his sides then I cannot get the guns to say in.

Ya, I know and I think it sucked. That series killed off Optimus within the first three or four episodes. Why go to the trouble of bringing him back when you are just going to kill him off quickly again? I have never been impressed with the writing of the anime cartoons.

I just got mine and I have to say I'm a little disappointed.

I do really like the bot mode, and I even like the size as compared to Prime, Megs & the seekers, as well as to the Alts I have in for the rest of the Autobots.

But I found his transform to be way overcomplicated. Parts seemed to move and twist simply to have a few more parts with joints. That would be OK, of when you were done it all fit together nicely, but it doesn't.

The Hot Rod alt mode just seems to want to pop apart. The hundred or so tabs never all want to line up at the same time.

I felt that the Space Winnebago looked a whole lot better, which it should since it is largely a shell.

But I also got this guy in the same shipment with Protector. Protector just came across as a much better example of engineering.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it, and I really do like the bot mode quite a bit. I'm glad I picked up the Takara release, because I do like the cannon and space truck alt modes. But I doubt I'll be looking very hard for the eventual Hasbro release.

It's a shame that there are so many faulty things with this figure... STILL, I LOVE the way it looks! I don't believe I will be transforming it all that much anyways. I love him in 'bot mode. :D
