Takara reveals Kingdom Commander Class Rodimus Prime and other products

I kinda like it. Look pretty much like my perfect Rodimus Prime
Though, wasn't he supposed to come with a fishing rod??

Definitely an instant pre-order. And that will never show up around here.

I've been tempering my expectations for this and hoping he would clear the bar for a good figure. But he looks great. Maybe now I won't have to shed a tear on his behalf every time I look at the POTP abomination on my shelf.

And the trailer is way better than the SiegeRiseDom Optimus trailer.

I think it was said somewhere that the rod was replaced by the Sword of Primus.


Speaking of which, Primus redeco when, Takara? Please and thank you.

Ha. I might even buy that.

Definitely getting Rodimus now. We can only hope the rumored Galvatron won’t be ruined...

Not that I usually care to that degree, but Rodimus has no gaps that I can see in any of the current photos.

Rodimus apparently comes with TEN blast effects and a Matrix.

Before anyone gets too excited, some people on TFW pointed out that he comes with Omega/Sky Lynx's effects, so that's 7 parts, plus the Matrix effect from SS86 Hot Rod, and likely the other two effects as well

Everything else looks amazing. I love that they included the G1 trailer features. This trailer looks much better than the one that came with Optimus!

The position of the spoiler is correct, so I guess it's a new aesthetic. I'm okay with the 'discrepancy' because he nets a fully formed vehicle mode unlike the original.

Well, I guess I'll have to set aside $80 bucks for the pre-order. He looks awesome in both modes. I now understand the car mode, and the battle platform looks good.

Assuming he comes with more accessories than just the sword and gun, (at least a Matrix is pretty much a given) the $80 is not that hard to swallow.

The only gripe is the lack of paint on the rims. But that is easily fixed with a silver sharpie.

At least I have time to save up the dough. Though shipping may be a bit painful for him. Hope Tracks and Tigatron show up at around the same time so I can ship the together.

I'm gonna need a bigger shelf for the HotRod / Radius display now.

From one City Builder to another, I totaly get that .
