It's as bad as someone leaving the nosecone up on G1 Dirge, Thrust and Ramjet to make them mirror the cartoon.

I doubt this increased price would come purely from the Targetmaster -- after all, MP Artfire didn't cost any more than MP Inferno. Either one of Takara or TFSource is getting risky/greedy, or something else is going on here...

Artfire also came with significantly less accessories than inferno. We'll have to wait and see if hot rod loses his other things as well before we can pass judgement on the pricing

What I really want to see them do is make an improved version of MP-09 based on Rodimus Prime. With that POTP version coming out soon, I'm guessing they will hold off awhile on that, so I'd settle on MP-41 or MP-42 being Broadcast (Blaster) with Steeljaw.
In Japan, Hot Rod is "Hot Rodimus" (with just "Rodimus" as a shorthand nickname), while Rodimus Prime is "Rodimus Convoy" (whose shorthands are instead the more formal "Shireikan", meaning "Commander", and "Sōshireikan", meaning "Supreme Commander").DecepticonFinishline wrote:Although. I ask because I haven't actually looked into this question, how often does Takara refer to Hot Rod as (Hot) Rodimus when it is still just Hot Rod? Maaaaybe we are getting some Prime components?? Doubtful. But maybs?

I suspect that was because Rebirth wasn't originated in Japan, and he was called Hot Rod in the source material. Though I don't remember if that also applied to the series in the Unicron Trilogy, as the production and dubbing, especially for Armada, was a mess.Sabrblade wrote:He was in the Japanese dub of The Rebirth.Kurona wrote:I don't think Hot Rod's ever actually been called Hot Rod in Japan.
The American G1 cartoon didn't originate in Japan either. Toei helped animate most of its first two seasons and the movie, but it was conceived as an American cartoon. The third and fourth seasons were animated by AKOM in South Korea, but the third season still aired in Japan in a dubbed form after its English release in North America and elsewhere.Rodimus Prime wrote:I suspect that was because Rebirth wasn't originated in Japan, and he was called Hot Rod in the source material.
