looks good so far. It looks like a test shot for the trailer for now. The resin doesn't show any lines, so it's definitely a rough draft. Maybe 2010 will be the year we see our Rodimus Prime...sweet

Looks like it really bulks up the Rodimus figure - very nice. That Optimus Prime trailer also looks great - very glad I've preordered it.

Of course... it also looks like FansProject has been overloaded by interest in these new galleries. :mrgreen:

As usual I'm loving FP's work. Rodimus is looking forward to some shiny new duds.

I just got one through BBTS and it was $39.99 usd... I'm not sure if it's a great price but they only had a few left..Hot Rod was one of the first transformers I ever got as a kid so I had to get it..I didn't even know they made a classics Hot Rod until I saw this article..Now that this little bundle of FP heaven is gonna be made, I had hop on it..

I have to admit ... the vehicle mode looks a little funny. Hot Rod was not made to haul a trailer. Hopefully the colors will make it look more like it belongs.

ditto...

I wonder what he'll look like in the bot mode armor.. I hope they update their page with pics of that soon..I hope he also has some sweet silver pipes on his arms in the amror.. that's what made me like him when I was a kid..

Man...The cab part of Rodimus sticks out really far.

Not hating...just sayin'.

Yeeaaa!! Protoshot, it's getting closer now. As for Fan Proj quality, I have NO DOUBT whatsoever about their products. None. I have their CJ kit, CC and PC armor, and paying for Crossfire today. I'm and avid supporter of Fans Proj and will continue to support them for as long as they keep on producing quality products for "my" TF's.

I sooo cannot wait for Protector Armor!!!!

The Protector Armor is a done deal - Ready to order.

Rodimus is shaping up nicely. I prepared early on by picking up a classics Rodimus the instant I first heard about this as to avoid markups. Henkei Rodimus will stay Rodimus, and Classics Rodimus will become Rodimus Prime.

by **Starscream6** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 9:13 am

NO WAY!!! coincidence or not, i just emailed them last week asking for some updates and/or pix of the protector armor for hot rod. told them the TF community would appreciate them. whether or not they did that to my request i duno but its still awesome! GO FANS PROJECT :APPLAUSE:

When the blurry image was first shown back in late January I picked up Henkei Hot Rod too just to be on the safe side because I couildn't tell which version it was designed for. I'm hoping that it comes with the cancelled Matrix of Leadership. I don't care if it doesn't go in his chest I just want a Rodimus Prime holding the Matrix on the Classics shelf!
