HK-TF has posted some new images of upcoming e-Hobby exclusive Transformers United Autobot 3-Pack - Hot Rodimus Clear Version.
The images showcased Rodimus in both robot and alternate mode, however the figure looks more in clear green plastic than clear blue as shown in the official images.










e-Hobby Transformers United Autobot & Decepticon 3 Packs are expected to be released in this weekend.

Seibertron, Ultimate Transformers Resource!

I am sorry, it looks crappy....

[RodimusConvoy13]

It might look better if the person had transformed it correctly.

I like it though. I'm really looking forward to this entire set and the Decepticons.

Yea, no kidding. What a disappointment.

Looks nothing like the promo images as far as coloration goes. I still like it and think it looks like delicious candy. No use for it whatsoever though.

[AutobotMR2]

A far as the color difference between these and the promo pics, itlooks like it may be an issue of the background. If you look at the first pic it's sitting on a table and looks pretty close to the promo pics. The others are on a pure white backdrop hence they look like a lighter green. As I said that's my conclusion. Still looks pretty nice, but can't afford it.

[ZenPrime]

Looks like two different colored figures to me. In the first photo the figure match the blue color exhaust/gun but the rest of the photos the figure is a different color than the exhaust/gun.

Not gonna even entertain the idea of this guy. Especially with DOTM looming and a few more Generations and RTS out there I am still looking for.

Pass.

[MGrotusque]

It makes me want to go swimming!

Being shot on the white background gives it a sort of aqua marine look to it.

For that reason i think it's alright. If i were to get it for the price of a deluxe at retail i'd have no complaints.

Don't jump to conclusions.

BEHOLD! G2 Blaze!

That's how I'm going to use him.

Extreme disappointment!!!

You know, this is what happened with Dark Skyfire. The pics shown were having him look like he was going to have astrotrain colors, but he wound up being black with Skywarp-esqe colors.

If you notice also with Kup he is the same color as United Kup, but with blue parts painted for the toy. So far, I don't like the blue-green because it's gawdy, at least the light blue would have made sense.

Oh well I paid for it I'll get him and sell it.

I think e-hooby used a back drop that caused the colors to look different.

Look at Kup in the promo pics, and then look at Kup in those comparison pics of the United, E-hobby, and Generations versions and the colors are exactly the same except for the blue paint in certain areas, and the battle damage paint.

This set could have been a lot less than what their charging for it. I'm a little dissapointed.

[alternator77]

just shows you what proper lighting can do

[Seibertron]

Looks like someone just had the wrong saturation on their camera, or the wrong light setting. These colors look very similar to the Armada Unicron of Light. I had to run all of my photos through a filter I set up in Photoshop to adjust the blue from my camera to the correct green of the toy.

I actually like the green much better. It makes more sense since it's supposed to be the moment the matrix light washed over Rodimus / Hot Rod when Optimus Prime was handing off the matrix to Ultra Magnus.



Here's one of the raw photos left from this photo shoot to show how he looked blue instead.

I hope you don't mind ... I edited your posts to point to the Seibertron.com gallery of G2 Blaze.

[Razorclaw0000]

Counterpunch must be sharing his Hateraide with all the hate for this. I think it's awesome. Although I'm curious so see the real colors of the United Decepticon set now.

[Hal7300]

If anyone gets the 3 pack and wants to offload this guy, i'll gladly take him

[Mkall]

No worries chief. I had completely forgotten he had a seibs gallery.

Unintentional homage or not, I'm going to ask Reprolabels for a conversion set.

Seconded.

[Sentinel Maximus]

Looks like it could be used to simulate when Hot Rod was transforming into Rodimus Prime. Its either that or a hologram

[Seibertron]

Looks like it could be used to simulate when Hot Rod was transforming into Rodimus Prime. Its either that or a hologram

Or when he grabbed the matrix after it slipped from Optimus Prime's hands, and before Hot Rod handed it over to Ultra Magnus.

Exactly! Strictly diorama type stuff. Very little play value for the kiddies

[Optimutt]

Wait... these are coming out THIS WEEKEND?!?! Holy Smokes! Why doesn't my crack TT supplier know anything about this set???

[Autobot032]

That's just terrible.
