Wondering how the upcoming Toys'R'Us exclusive Masterpiece Rodimus with Targetmaster Offshoot will stack up the original MP-09 Rodimus Convoy? YouTube member JDECEPTION209 picked one up at the SDCC and has uploaded a video review. See his review embedded below.

anyone else having issues with the video?

Have to admit I skimmed through the transformations in the review, as I have Takara's, and have this one on order - just wanted to see the differences, so to speak -

Am I right in thinking the Hasbro version's Matrix (as we can see, it does fit in the hands, but not in the chest) is the only Matrix that comes with it? Is the downsized version not included in the chest cavity?

Apologies in advance if this has been discussed elsewhere, have searched with no luck...

aside from the fact that it's almost half an hour and so I'm not even going to bother… couldn't say.

i remember when people used to actually write reviews and then take useful photographs instead of just blathering on while we watched their hands cover up most of the toy… sigh.

I figured it was just a browser issue. Damn Internet Exploder.

Take a look at about 3:49 or 17:00, there are some shots of the little Matrix in his chest.

I'm still disappointed by the lack of paint detail on the figure itself, but I'm definitely getting it. Glad to hear they fixed the issues with the mold. Maybe if MP-09 goes on major clearance I'll pick it up as well to display in Winnebago mode.

like the fix on the leg panels, but whats with the little flaps on the ineer part of his elbow joints?

man i NEVER remove my TRANSFORMERS from there packages.i know i know,they were meant to be transformed.but i just love veiwing em like trophies,in their packages.how it pains me to see this vid...NOOOOOOO!

Is this one going to be in store soon????

Why are they advertising this as Rodimus Prime when it doesn't have a trailer?

Anyone know when this is hitting the toys r us stores in california?(not online)

He technically still becomes Rodimus Prime because this version can still change portraits (faces), can be made taller, and the arms and back fin can be adjusted.

I too am desperately waiting for this to be made available. I do want the version 2 Takara as well, but it takes longer to save up for that and I want to see what changes they made to it.

I still want this TRU version and I wish to hell they'd hurry up and make them available both online and in stores already!

Anyone got lucky getting this figure in the store?Bigbadtoystore.com has pre order for $120. Too much rip off. I have one for sale on ecrater for $94.99. Item is on hand. Same paypal checkout like ebay. Check it out guys. I got one for me and another one for sale. http://jhuztechentoyz.ecrater.com/c/1464242/transformers
