Motto: ""I am a Prime. I do not take orders from you!""
The new wave of Takara Transformers United (UN-23 to UN27) has been released in Japan and Asia. Courtesy of Japanese Transformers collector and blogger - Alfes2010, we get to see the detailed galleries of United UN-23 Rodimus Prime.

UN-23 is not only a repaint version of Classics/Henkei Rodimus, the engine portion of the vehicle has been remold. Now this figure can attach with your favourite minicon/target master as well.

Huh. Looks okay but they went way too dark with the burgundy. Easy pass for me.

And I was loking forward for a more G1-accurate Hot Rod, but that dark burgendy killed it.

Oh well, that's 40 bucks I don't have to pay.

Terrible. The vehicle mode looks patched together. All they had to do was make it shiny ... what were they thinking with this?

IMO there are paint flaws in both modes. But know matter my current Roddy is a bit loose to hold the Protecto-armor so he'll do nicely! :VEHI:

Cool idea with the minicon port but Henkei Hot Rod looks much better. And yes, I realize this is Rodimus colors. Still a miss in my opinion.

Thats a really ugly repaint of a really nice mold.

Chest - yes
Flame details - yes

Muddy mismatched burgundy - no
White hands and face - no

The nice flame details just don't make up for the other horrors inflicted on this poor toy. :(

I'd love one in the magenta of the Masterpiece, though.

You know, I'd be tempted to pick this up to kitbash with parts from other releases of the mold into proper Targetmaster Rodimus if the blasted Targetmaster wouldn't be so pricey on top of that.

At least it's better than Battle in Space/Challenge at Cybertron Rodimus....

Maybe marginally. But if you have to compare it to BIS Rodimus to make it look good something's VERY wrong.

Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes! I'd love a Hot Rod in the colours of Hot Rod. MP is too expensive for me right now (as if it's going to get any cheaper :lol: ) and since it looks like we're not likely to get a new version of Hot Rod that looks like the cartoon alt-mode, or has Generations style engineering, at least not any time soon, I'd be very happy to pay for a proper magenta Hot Rod.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

I know Reprolabels have gifted us with a few Hot Rod / Rodimus sticker sets, but if they could see themselves making the United flame designs work with Henkei Hot Rod I'd be very interested. The two-tone bodywork and split spoiler just aren't working for me.

I really like this Rodimus but was a bit disappointed when he came with no flames along the sides. Did Reprolabels come out with a set to fix that problem? I do know they did a few but I'm talking about decals for "Challenge at Cybertron" Roddy. :VEHI:

Gundam...I just now noticed that he does have a pasty white face...WTF? Do you think they did it because they wanted to capture that same paint app like MP Rodimus but went too far? :VEHI:

Looks good to me. I like that it's remolded despite having no use for that bit. Still getting it. The roof deco is changed on this guy too. Surprised no one mentioned it.

I was on the fence until I found this guy on the shelf with Thunderwing and Megatron on an unrelated trip to the Mattō TRU. I'm very happy with the near-impulse purchase. There's a LOT of paint on this guy. It seems a small thing, but it's the orange & yellow on the tops of his wrists that really makes it for me. It's the sort of thing I'm used to putting on a reprolabel sticker for. The white face looks fine to me, but the white hands... well let's just say he'll always hold his weapon so I only have to see one of them. My figures don't spend much time in vehicle mode so I don't mind the mismatched top of the car. I don't buy figures often in Japan since all the prices are about $10 higher even if you're buying locally, but I'm glad I was weak when I found United Rodimus!

For a long time i heard this guy wasnt going to made anymore, and heard a bunch of rumors about the mold broke or was overused, something like that, but i have 3 of these guys; a Henkei one and yes he is MINT in MISB, a RID version and the 2 pack version with Cyclonus. No need for another, but who really knows and i may break and get him. Theres needs to be another Henkei Prime made as well.

- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

^I am still such a skeptic. People keep saying that and then they keep on making toys. I kinda think it's just a BS excuse HasTak gives if they don't wanna make a certain toy anymore. Isn't that what they said about Devastator before the Encore came out? :P
