I hope the colors are off in these pics, because it looks more like Arcee than Roddy...

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need a Masterpiece Rodimus to fill my needs!!!!!!

But I just bought Protector for Christmas!!!!

by **Grahf** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 1:41 am

I think that this is the first Masterpiece I have no interest in. I'll just stick with my Protector for now.

Grimlock > Hot Rod

I'm trying not to get to excited for the figure. The pessimist in me keeps saying there's going to be some horrible defect that we won't know about until people start getting him. Other than that this will be the figure of 2011 and the second greatest MP ever made.

Well MP Hot Rod looks pretty damn good..also shouldn't this "his previously unseen Matrix and chamber and his face swap feature" read "his previously unseen Matrix chamber and his face swap feature"?

Impossible, we've had Optimus and Grimlock.

Why does he have to be $200? Not only do i not have that kind of money but even if i did i couldnt justify spending 200 bucks on a single figure, 100 maybe but 200 is way to much.

I am almost certain this will be the first Masterpiece I get. I hated all the others. I just hope he doesn't dwarf G1 Galvatron.

I think you're the only person hoping he will be small!

They've all been great so far. Takara MP Prime is amazing in detail, heft and transformation. Magnus is a nice recolor. Despite his flaws, Megatron is pretty innovative and he does look really cool in his robot mode with his big old fusion cannon and in spite of his spindly legs. Grimlock is drool-worthy with all his cool gimmicks and eye-shifting. And the Seekers? Skywarp is my favorite, followed closely by Ghost SS, and then the other 3: Acid Scream, Thundercracker, and Wal-Scream. But yeah, 5 fantatic molds so far. I'm really glad I pre-ordered this. I can't wait for Rod to come in!

I doubt it, G1 Galvs is huge.

I... WANT... THIS!!!!!!

I asked Robot Kingdom on Facebook when they expect this in stock. They told me next Friday, yay. Also, it only cost me $180 from them. They also deliver to my address much faster than BBTS ever have done.

He is awesome!

Gutted I can't afford him.

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 9:42 am

Looks awesome. I'm guessing the pink is just the lighting. Even the orange looks washed out in those images. The bottom pic looks better. Great job with the Matrix, it's even an improvement over Primes. Looks really good. I wish I could afford it right now.

ive never liked rodimus but i have to say i love this toy.

may even get it but TBH its damn hard to get without going on line in my country.

by **puttster3** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 10:45 am

Awesome figure but I think I will have to settle with my FP Rodimus Prime for now. Plus he's more to scale to an Ultramagnus +trailer

Anyone remember where he used a visor over his eyes? I remember that for Arcee, but not roddy.

He should be magenta. This looks pretty perfect to me if the colors are accurate.

Grimlock is king now, but there will probably be a new king come the 29th.

You're going to be waiting a long time as it was recently revealed he's going to be a Toys R Us Exclusive in the USA and UK.

When Daniel sees the hole in the Autobot Shuttle in the movie, Hot Rod uses this visor to get a zoomed in look at the shuttle, then starts attacking it while he still has the visor down.

Thats really cool that you can do either Hot Rod or Rodimus Prime. And his chest opens up for the matrix, and a faceplate that accomodates the viewfinder/binocular accessory. I wanna see the wrist-installed sawblade.

News Credits: 3 · by **Jazz-1982** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:20 pm

The closer his colours are to how he looked in the movie the better - if that means that red becomes kind of pink/magenta then bring it on. I'll buy whichever version is more movie accurate.
