Back at the Shizuoka Hobby Show a few months ago the Transformers figure that seemed to get the most attention was Takara Tomy's new transforming Adamas Machina AMT-01 Rodimus based on Flame Toys' design from the Kuro Kara Kuri line (which itself is built up from his design from the IDW comics) under their new T-Spark banner. Despite being a high end figure based on an official third party design it's proving to be rather affordable. Early speculation placed the figure over $300 considering the figure it's based on sold for over $400 (but also came with a bunch of extra "Rodimus Prime" parts and working lights), but as a first party figure AMT-01 is available for as low as $153 USD and could go lower if/when Amazon Japan starts taking orders placing it within the same range as Masterpiece.

As mentioned previously, this figure is fully transformable as well as heavily detailed, meticulously painted, well articulated and armed to the teeth. Whether or not this will all add up to an actual fun figure to play with is yet to be seen but it'll at least look good in both modes on a shelf. He includes two guns that can be combined into a rifle, a buzzsaw and a communicator which wasn't part of the Flame Toys figure. The figure stands roughly the same size as the Flame Toys release, about 9 inches to the wing tips. He'll be released in February 2025 which is already pretty stacked for Transformers releases.

And don't forget, AMT-02 is going to be Predaking. Let's see if they can keep that one under $1,000USD.

Will you be picking up an IDW, by way of Flame Toys, by way of Takara Tomy, AMT-01 Rodimus or is the price still a little too rich for you? Let us know in the Seibertron Energon Pub forums!
