leaning more towards him being the commander as he apparently has some effect parts including a matrix energy effect. Outside of Battlemasters, only Commanders and Titans have come with effects parts.

Rodimus doesn't even need a complex transformation to be cartoon accurate, he can literally be "G1 with elbows" as they say.
The Commander Class Rodimus I want is the "New Rodimus" fire truck.
He could be a pre-tool of RID Prime/Super Fire Convoy as a 2022 Commander Class.

I'm gonna post something about this in the SS thread as well where the actual discourse about it belongs, but because it is relevant to this: According to one of the credible leakers who has access to the figure clarifying today, that blast effect actually comes with SS Hot Rod, we just assumed they meant Rodimus when it was first mentioned because no Voyager figure has previously come with one.
Kingdom Rodimus could still come with a similar effect, but the one that was specifically mentioned does not go to/come with the Kingdom figure.

Man, all y'all passing on the redesign of rodimus most of you were begging for in potp; I bet he'll has an awesome base mode
That's the thing though: I do not care about the Rodimus base mode, same way I do not care for prime having the trailer.
I am more than OK with the Rodimus we got in PotP, i didnt and don't really want much else then, and still don't. And the Rodimus I really care for, Flame Toys and MMC are taking care of. Only regret is not owning a Cloud Rodimus.
And if Commander Rodimus is a voyager sized figure with $50 worth of gear, than that will be an utter joke to me. I'll just wait for the netflix or selects repaint as IDW Rodimus with his headsculpt without the trailer.

Now, obviously there's no hints in this blueprint that there's any transformable elements, but considering the rumours surrounding next years Titan Class figure (or in this case, a playset), what you see here, could be just a taste of what is coming your way next year.
Would you buy a Titan Class Ark playset? Would you be happy if it all transformed or just elements of it like Teletran 1? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

If we are getting the so-called Core class figures and they are of the Ark's passengers, then I completely agree. If not, then I personally do not want an Ark at all. Not a fan of the Last Autobot and that's the only bot whose name has been mentioned. I get his appeal for Marvel G1 fans who read that one issue. But I am not. And I doubt I am the only person who isn't.
Not going to complain if it is, though, as I'm sure something else Transfomers related will be available for me to spend that money on lol.

If I had a requirement, it would open to be a diorama of the main control room, which kind of seems like what it's going to be judging by the photos. So, basically, if true they nailed it.

However, the orange and the curves will make it easier for it to be the Last Autobot, if that indeed is true. If it is, I'm sold. If it isn't, then I'll wait for further info.

Both Takara's Transformers and Brave designers say the two are unrelated and any similarities are coincidental.
