Can't wait to see some actual figure pics.

So long as he has some paint apps. When I mentioned that about their Blurr, no one seemed to notice. Kinda felt like...

Youre not alone my friend. Protector kind of suffers from a outdated "warbot" aesthetic that flourished at a time when 3rd parties feared Hasbro's power in court. That additude has long faded away and all the newer figures blend in with G1 cartoon accuracy. All those sharp edges and creative liberties kind of look odd nowadays. I bought Cloud Rodimus just so I could display protector in trailer mode which is definitally its stronger mode.

I didn't even get Cloud Rodimus. What I'm looking for is a new Deluxe Hot Rod and a voyager-ish Rodimus Prime with trailer guns. FP gave me that but I'm in agreement that its time has passed.

Im cool with Hasbros deluxe Hot Rod. Outside of better articulation, I dont think they could have nailed the character better. The way hasbro does CHUG these days, I would be scared they would try to make him an earth car with a fake yellow fin in robot mode. But its time for a real voyager Rodimus. But I think I would rather the trailer be part of the bulk that makes the robot voyager scale. But not as armor, I mean an MP ultra magnus style transformation. Were the trailer guns ever in the cartoon or was it strictly toy only ? I just remember the trailer appearing out of nowhere like Prime. I recall Primes trailer transformed in the cartoon at least once in season one. I cant remember...

One of the cool things about older 3P products (FP in their prime, Hercules etc) was that they took just enough liberty with the designs that they looked modern and refreshing but not so much that they were unrecognizable. The best examples (IMO) were Warbot Assaulter (AKA the only Broadside we will ever need), the FP Insecticons and of course good ol' Hercules (who I am still waiting for a UK seller on eBay to offer for a reasonable price, preferably at a time when I actually have the money!). This newer trend for heavily G1 3P figures kinda sucks- all the imagination that made 3P interesting is gone, replaced with just copying designs from the cartoon/comic/whatever is popular at the time.
All that said, I am interested in this provided it's CHUG scale. From what I've seen of it, Roddy's MTMTE design is pretty sweet, so this *should* be good.
