Nope, can't do it. The trailer is not bad, but the Hot Rod component looks way too nice to be covered up under all that kibble.

This is verry true the Hot Rod robot and alt modes are the best modes of the figure, but it's still cool the he can become Rodimus Prime

I actually don't care for the Hot Rod robot or alt modes that much, and actually prefer the TR version for that. The transformation from bot to car for just the Hot Rod component is really just meh. And the car mode to me looks way too flat, like it got squished.

I've got to agree here too. I much prefer the Titans Return/Transformers Legends version of Hot Rod from last year. The butt flap on Power of the Primes Hot Rod's robot mode is too distracting for it to be my definitive "Classics" version of the character. The transformation is just a bit too simple too. Hasbro and Takara hit it out of the park with the TR/TL version as far as I'm concerned. It's a fun transformation, it's a nice updated look for the character, and it still hits all the important "Hot Rod" visual cues it needs to for G1 familiarity. My PotP figure will mainly be displayed in its "evolved" Rodimus Prime mode.

I like the TR figure as well, but the shoulders on it are too high. They shouldn't reach above the head. And to me the chest of the base PotP figure looks more solid, much closer to his original design. But that's just my opinion.

That's how i feel about it too. Hot Rod is my favorite transformer and i would say that other then Mp28 the PotP Hot Rod is the best G1 style fgure of him.

The high shoulders are so 80's, though! Hot Rod is padding those shoulders out and lookin' FIERCE!

Have to admit I kind of enjoy his exaggerated height on the shoulders for tr hot rod. It kind of reminds me of the Hot rod from his one spot comic a little. At least in my memory it does, easily could be wrong.

As I said, just my opinion. If you like them that high, great. At least the figure appeals to you and you got one. Personally, to me the perfect shoulder proportion on a non-MP Hot Rod is TFA Rodimus's shoulders, followed by the base PotP figure, then the Classics version, though that is a little high as well, but not exaggeratedly.Wolfman Jake wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I like the TR figure as well, but the shoulders on it are too high.

You're thinking of "big shoulder pads". "High positioned shoulders" are an uncomfortable anatomically oddity, while "big shoulder pads" are a rockin' 80's staple that we can all dig and jam out to.Wolfman Jake wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I like the TR figure as well, but the shoulders on it are too high.

I want to say that I heard about my video being featured here on seibertron.com Forums I check it out and there I am!
So I want to thank LeAwesome1 for finding me and reporting it to Tyrannacon!
You guys are great! Actually, all you guys on here are great!
I am doing Youtube for fun and my main goal for my channel is to become a global community member of Transformers, geeking out with everyone around the world about a shared passion.
That brings me to the point of thanking LeAwesome1 and Tyrannacon and everyone here because without you I would not have had these conversations in my comment section that I am having right now.
Everyone I have talked to have been really awesome! It's been a blast!
So Thank You Thank You again, everyone !!!

Sabrblade, you have a weird definition of "High-positioned shoulders" if you think Tr Hot Rod's are positioned high, because the actual shoulder joints are below the neckline. I own him and have played with him frequently, and I'm looking at him as I type this, so don't tell me otherwise. I actually prefer him as my standalone representation of Hot Rod.
Rodimus Prime, going to have to strongly disagree with you about PotP Roddy. Sure, the Hot Rod component is okay-looking and avoids having an exposed engine block in robot mode. But the arm articulation is lacking compared to the TR version, he also avoids having a protruding engine block in car mode, he doesn't have anywhere to mount weapons in car mode, and the exhaust pipes on this part of him aren't as detailed.
I think the camper shell looks plenty fine, and I've always been a fan of the Rodebago mode. And the Rodimus Prime robot mode.. Mmm. Nicely proportioned and articulated, good detailing, lovely face sculpt, aesthetically solid (so, the antithesis of Titrod and Fansproject Protector). My only problems with him are that due to the evolution gimmick he doesn't have his base mode, and he towers over Galvatron. But that's not enough to overshadow the positives in his case, and I can think of him as "Powermaster Rodimus Prime" if I want.
Speaking of Powermasters, here are some photos I took of him with Titans Return Powermaster Optimus before I started on my project to rebuild that figure's cab into a poor man's PC-16.


In addition to Roddy, my Power of the Primes collection also currently includes Swoop, Jazz, Grimlock, and Slag. Quite happy with all of them. My main disappointments are Slag not having his robot mode wings, Slag not using the cartoon colors, and Grimlock not coming with his sword (since his being a Voyager means the original toy's sword looks a bit small when used as a surrogate. The gun and launcher look fine though). But I still enjoy them a good bit, and I look forward to the release of Sludge and Snarl to complete Volcanicus.

YES, Iguanus is a personal favorite G1 Large Pretender of mine, so it'd be great if he got some Prime Master love. There are a lot of other Pretenders I'd like to see as well -- but really, I'm just happy to see them represented and updated, in any shape/form.

Like I said, that's alright. We like the figures for different reasons. The bottom line is you got one as well, driving up sales, and showing Hasbro that the character (and toys based on it/them) is in demand, which will only lead to more Hot Rod/Rodimus figures in the future, hopefully.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Rodimus Prime, going to have to strongly disagree with you about PotP Roddy.
