Turn Hot Rod into Rodimus? Im sold.

From what I can tell, the upgrade set will feature new arms while the old ones will become his shoulder pads.

How much are these gonna cost? And when will the G3 trailer be available? While I think the overall design for the BTS trailer matches the sleekness of the Classics, that Fansproject trailer is just kick ass... And I'm not even gonna go on about Rodimus Prime... Megs and Optimus can duke it out, now Galvy and Roddy can duke it out...

i was wondering if their going to make two different version for rodimus prime set or just one because isn't classics rodimus a different shaded of red compared to the henkai version of rodimus :-?

Now, if someone would like to give me a classics Hot Rod, that would the the icing on the cake!

The 26th was your birthday? Happy birthday, man. Mine is (now) today (27th).

I must have that Rodimus upgrade!

Rodimus Prime? That's crazy... Prime's never going to stand for this.

I totally missed out on the City Commander upgrade due to lack of any kind of spare cash.. hopefully that situation is going to be completely the other way around by the time this comes out, Im quite excited about seeing more of this

Rodimus is a must have ... and the trailer? Well the trailer looks better everytime they do an update so I guess I'm sold on that one too

On a side-note, but a related one, BBTS is now sold out of Henkei Hot Rod, coincidence?

I will reserve judgement on the Rodimus Prime trailer until I get a better look at it. I am interested in the idea, but don't know how that one will work out.

Reasonable and appropriate.

They should get a lot of credit from City Commander, but we should all at least wait till there are some more accurate pictures of all this stuff before we make any wallet arping decisions.

by **The Chronic** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 1:14 pm

As long as they include a space for the mini-matrix, and a firebolt I will no-doubt be buying this

I think not.

Obviously the availability of HR will determine whether I ultimately get this. Oh, and the availability of cash too.

TFSource, however, did still have Hot Rod available so I caved and bought one, along with Henkei Prime. I figured the worst case scenario, I can sell HR later on if I'm not a fan of the final armor set. As for Prime, I know I'm getting a trailer, just not sure which yet.

OK FansProject, bring them on!

News Credits: 97 · by **Savage** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 5:02 pm

Just a random thought I had:

Does anyone know if FansProject has considered bringing any of their sets to sell at BotCon sometime? Would Hasbro even allow them to be sold under the same roof as official products?

Guys I have an Idea they might produce another repaint of Protectors tailer into either the dark rodimus from Botcon or for wildrider and name it like motormaster.
I cant wait for Protecter set! The robot mode looks sweet!

I'll need to see some pics to make an informed decision but FansProjects certainly earned indefinite props for the City Commander set. And anything they do in the future will cetainly be on my radar.

I wish the pix was not blurred.. It would get me ore excited to actually see what is coming out over a blurry blobbish looking pix.

Unlikely. They had some in stock last night. I know, because there's one sitting in my pile of loot right now! :lol:
