The head looks wonky to me, but the alt mode looks beautiful, although the spoiler should be chrome...IMO. Still looks nice.

The head looks like it still has some Rodimus in it, but the rest is all Side Burn. I wonder how the club will explain his increase in bulk.

I know they are trying to get his asymetricalness in, I just don't like that part much.

Well, I was going to join the Club to get this, but I guess not being I had to have joined back in march. Since when did you have to join a year in advance to get the next years toy?

Typo, it's supposed to be March 2011. They reuse the old text and forgot to change that little date.

I agree. It looks great, much to my surprise. I had my doubts as well.

Well this is very, very tempting. I've never been a TFCC member, but seeing this figure may sway me to change my mind...

by **Skullcrunchberries** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 12:12 pm

Fan-flippin'-tastic.

Hopefully there'll be enough left over for the international guys to get some, too. I've heard it's actually cheaper to pay full price for the club stuff than actually get a membership...

As much as I like this mold it looks to me more like a blue rodimus/hotrod. Cept in my mind he would be called blaze..because the hottest part of the flame is the blueish purple part of it. -shrug- I dunno I realize why they did it, but for me it just doesn't work to well. It makes me wonder though if they will be coming out with a blue colored protector armor lol.

Right on, I'm all about this.

The spoiler bugs me on this mold - it sticks out way too far in the back (car mode).

Nice paint job though.

Huh. So much for "I'll be selling this figure, as no way it is going to look good"

Color me impressed.

Definitely renewing my subscription. That Side Burn looks badass.

by **Onslaught22** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 1:26 pm

This is the first I've heard of this character, so I took a look on the Seibertron Galleries (as they are the most comprehensive around) and I have to say that is the most fugly character I have seen in a long time. Seriously, I hope whomever designed that was sent to the gallows. TFCC have done him a great favor by using the Rodimus mold as his rebuild.
Well done! :APPLAUSE:

Now we are celebrating RID characters?

by **666-SHOT** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 1:39 pm

AWW....SO glad I joined this year! That fig is awesome. And once the FP kit is on my Rodimus, he will look like a whole different character instead of a repaint. Nice.
