BUT if he turns into Hot Rod, I'll be all over this. Because a G1 accurate Hot Rod robot mode with a G1 accurate vehicle mode for one of my favorite all time TFs would make this into a must buy.
Albeit an overly expencive must buy.
Edit: And they could totally repaint this. Primus anyone? Black Rodimus? Crystal Clear Rodimus? And those are just the ones based on past toys.

I am impressed with one thing, something I didn't think they'd be able to pull off...his arm transformation. It looks like it pivots around like Hot Rod's did in the movie, where the fenders spin 180 to create the arms.
If that's the case, then they've truly impressed me, because that's never been accomplished before.

Very well put.
Gauntlet101010 wrote:Actually, these pictures make me think he *can* turn into Rodimus. The back setup suggests a fully formed Roddie vehicle mode, the face seems to rotate and even the gun looks like it cxan transform.

He looks so G1-ish, I would´ve liked more realistic versions, like with other MP´s, or sorta like this: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs8/f/2005/2 ... _Robot.jpg

No but, for example, Cartoon model of Prime didn´t have the wheels on the side of the legs, and it´s MP counterpart did, it´s like based more on the toy, than the cartoon, they add a lot more realism, detail, and compactness; that´s what I meant by G1-ish.

I hope you're right about a Hot Rod mode, I really do. That would be truly impressive. What do you mean about the arms? It looks fairly simple to me, the 'vents' are probably just covered by the front of the car which folds up on his back.
