Seibertron member Diem has managed to get the Animated Sons Of Cybertron set, a Takara exclusive including clear-plastic versions of Deluxe Optimus Prime and Deluxe Rodimus. He shares his thoughts with us in a video review which can be seen here or embedded below:

Those figures are awesome. Especially Rodimus. I can't wait to get my hooks on it.

Oh clear plastic, why are you so attractive?

I think the Rodimus head/face looks kind of...odd. I don't think he translated well, Animated style.

Nice job Diem!

Thanks!

His face is pretty unusual, and it makes him look a far more mature character than G1 or Energon Rodimus. His lack of nose and highlighted cheekbones make him look austere, but also make him look a bit like Odo from Star Trek.

Yeah but who's the big talking robot with glasses and hair?

Dunno, some guy.

More luck with those than the Seacons then?

Seriously mate, nice review. I don't collect Animated stuff (got to draw a line somewhere!), but am eagerly awaiting their Henkei bretheren...

Are there any clear Unicron Trilogy figures out there that are extremely rare?

[Overcracker]

Good review Diem. Can't wait for mine to arrive.

Yup. Micron Legend Deluxe Chrystal Convoy, and Crystal Magnus a.k.a Overload.
