WST Hot Rodimus - KO or Real?
Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2007 8:19 pmWell, I just received an eBay purchase from a seller in Singapore, and I'm having doubts about whether it's real. My Smallest Transformers Hot Rodimus is different from what I was expecting. First off, it's got 2 right forearms. Factory defects happen all the time, doesn't mean it's fake. But there are a few other things I wasn't expecting:
The parts seem to be all red plastic, painted the colors they are. The spoiler is painted yellow, torso painted orange, and guns and pipes silver. I'm comparing it to Remy's photogallery, and it's also missing the black outline around the chest/hood graphics. I can't tell for certain (pictures are rarely natural color), but the colors of the plastic seem to be slightly different, and his looks like colored plastic, not painted parts.
One important difference, is that the head/engine piece doesn't fit flush with the chest/hood, so it's very loose in robot mode and swings on its pivots quite easily.
Now, the version in Remy's gallery is the original release, while mine is the bonus one that came with THS G1 Convoy in Japanese TRUs.
Did I just figure it out myself (it's a different version), or did I get ripped off? I've never heard of a KO of this figure, so I don't know.[/url]

I'm not really one for big Transformers at all, MP's are my biggest pieces. But that one looked so cool I wouldn't be able to pass it up if it had been released. Cost too much? Pssh, I say. We pay an arm and half a leg for MP toys, why not Unicron?
