Broken pic because TFormers doesn't permit hotlinking.
I noticed, but if you click open in a new tab/window it'll still work.
Only after first bypassing a "Forbidden: You do not have permission to access this webpage" message.
Really? I didn't have that problem.
Because the image was already in your cache the moment it first showed up on your end.
Didn't get this issue on my phone, but did get it on my PC. Weird restriction.
Comparison pics are nice, although it doesn't necessarily give us a good height comparison (the Kingdom one is likely shorter, given how this line has gone so far). Looking at them like this, the Kingdom one does have some advantages. A better silhouette, for one (T30 looks kind of lanky here). But I still can't get over that weird head, and I keep noticing new details that are off (why did they add those big vent things on his shoulders?). T30's only weird details are on the chest, which I'm willing to cut some slack on since they used the actual rhino jaw to make it.

The first review of CC Rodimus is out by primevsprime. It is a really great figure but I still don't like the fact that he is a CC.
Color me impressed.
That's one involved transformation. Tons of little details like working lift struts for the rear trailer door. And tons of paint. Yeah I can see where the Commander Class budget went.
Also, nice that its larger than PotP.
The trailer storage door kind of feels like a desperate attempt to use more plastic unnecessarily however.
Overall he's awesome. Can't wait to get him. Pre-Ordered since he showed up on BBTS.

Oh man, Rodimus is amazing. I swore off Commander Class because of the import fees, but he's just too good and I love Rodimus... I might have to bite the bullet and get him.

The comparison at 3:27 with ER Prime tells me all I need to know. It is definitely a well designed toy. But while the robot modes of Optimus and Rodimus are comparable, basically what you are paying an extra $30 for to make this CC is a more complicated Trailer (with its accessories to be fair). I'm not saying this to be negative, as I think it is well designed. Whether or not it is worth $80 though is for each person to decide, and I would not fault anybody who said it wasn't. Just for the record though, YES I am getting this for the trailers AIRLOCK compatibility. I'm just really hoping to not have to pay full price.

Well, alternatively, what if you asked one of your friends or family to instead get it for you as a Christmas present?
Or, if that's too long a wait, Father's Day is next month.
Transformers: Kingdom Commander Class Rodimus Prime Video Review

Greetings Seibertronians!
LinaNui and Dominus Prime have pointed out that Prime VS Prime has just posted his video review of the highly anticipated Kingdom Commander Class Rodimus Prime!
He comes with his huge trailer that converts into a weapons platform and many more accessories like his weapons and blast effects. Rodimus himself may be "voyager sized", but he has the heft, the MEAT of a heavy-duty leader, with painted details all over and a transformation scheme that is very creative with many neat tricks utilised.
You can check out the video review for yourself below:
What do you think of this release? Please let us know!

I'm 50/50 on this one. It's a great figure. I have nothing bad to say about it. But it just wasn't what I wanted.
As Sam Gideon would say "Not what I was after, but it'll do!"

What DID you wanted? I'm curious. Is it about the Rodimus himself, or did you want another character entirely?

I'll stick with titanium Rodimus, the winnebago front section looks pretty bad as well as the hood of the car. I'm almost sold on ss86 hotrod though but will wait and see if it gets a a better paint finish figure to fix the yellow roof.

Still, the "horrible" Titanium is a nice figure and take less space on a shelf. Do you have the PotP leader?

Just Eeevil potp version as I didn't like it in Rodimus colors. I'm keeping tr galvatron over Kingdom and kingdom Rodimus is definitely going to look a bit too small with him (something that titanium already dies with out paying £80 for a new Rodimus to do :p).

Yeah I'm so over the "Winnebago" term so overly used.
Anyway I was quite impressed on the difference between the 2 in alt mode alone. I had thoughts of keeping POTP in alt mode but I admit I've changed my mind.
So is anyone thinking Rodimus Unicronus?

Possibly, but I know a lot of people that want an all gold Version that is Primus based on the TT selects pages which just came to an end.

Why? I find the term SPACE WINNEBAGO both ridiculous and awesome! Plus Rodimus must have his fishing rod in his inventory somewhere and the rest of the camping gear may not be far.
Seriously, I'd love to get a BBQ set to his scale, a lantern, and other things for a nice display!

Cue a hyper limited Lucky Draw Rodimus Convoy in 3...2...1
If Hasbro has good sense, they should release a Gold Primus in Selects maybe minus the trailer. Its an easy repaint, and should sell fairly well.

They could do the whole thing if they wanted to
Re: War for Cybertron Kingdom Discussion The Beasts Return!
Tra Gen Red Prime Optimus Prime EAN: 5010993978427
Tra Gen Red Prime Megatron EAN: 5010993978410
Tra Gen SDCC 1 EAN: 5010993863358
Tra Gen WFC K voyager Blaster EAN: 5010993974993
Tra Gen Studio series voy 86 Hot Rod variant EAN: 5010993940110
Updates on other rumored figures.
The kingdom World collide 4 pack is also apart of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line, so it probably includes some sort of Bee.
Tra Gen Studio series LDR 86 Starscream Cape Is EAN: 5010993950430
Tra Gen Studio series Voy TF6 Soundwave is EAN: 5010993940103
From the looks of things, Kingdom's getting extended like Siege. We're probably seeing some exclusives stragglers and Legacy Wave 1 figures get pulled forwards.

Happy for Blaster, hopefully some of his cassettes are released in the future as well
I'm assuming hot rod variant is SG/unicronus (hopefully)
Worlds collide thing seems underwhelming but maybe it gives buyers another chance for Netflix bee
What's SDCC 1?

I wonder if Blaster will be an all-new mold or some kind of retool of Soundwave.
