Toy-World.com.hk has uploaded the scans from Figure King No. 167, and we've mirrored the Transformers related pages below. They've highlighted the fact that UN-23 Rodimus Prime's engine block has been modified to accept a Micron, much like G1 Targetmaster Hot Rod.

• UN-23 Rodimus Prime
• UN-24 Warpath
• UN-25 G2 Megatron
• UN-26 Thunderwing
• UN-27 Windcharger/Wipeout

Transformers Prime "First Editon":

• Voyager Optimus Prime
• Voyager Bulkhead
• Deluxe Bumblebee
• Deluxe Cliffjumper
• Deluxe Arcee
• Deluxe Megatron

Well you were just asking what to do with him

But that means I gotta buy this new Hot Rod. Don't like lipstick on a pig!

Interesting touches to the Rodimus mold. There are TONS of mini-cons to attach to him, although I'll be using one of FP's figures for him. Unless Takara wants to add a little something new to the whole package. Interested in seeing how well this figure looks with Protector, might free up my original Rodimus if so.

Wow that rodimus looks awesome, looks like I'm picking him up.

Wouldn't a mini-con port protruding from the engine hinder the chest plate from the Protector armor from fitting?


Anyways, wish they would have done more for Thunderwing, at least a black wash over the white would have helped it a lot, must have G2 Megatron. Rodimus is a definite pass. I just ordered the Henkei, I have the BIS one & I blew a LOT of money not long ago on a Gentai Wildrider so I think I have enough of the mold already.

Doesn't look like it, as the piece is shaped around the engine:

Oh yeah, I forgot about the opening. I've had the Shapeways shield piece in mine so long I just consider it part of the original set.

did i see this right? Transformers Prime Bumblebee w/ Minicons? ME LIKE

YES! Called it! Mentioned the retooling of Rodimus when the official images were released a few days back. Nice to see I was correct on the weapon peg idea.

I'm properly torn on Rodimus. It's probably the best representation of the character so far, but I spent quite a lot getting hold of Henkei Hot Rod before the re-release was announced and I don't think this version will go as well with FansProject's Protector. May just get it and decide later.

Can you provide a link to said shield piece?

Cool thanks, what are the chances of getting a pic of this installed in the armor?
