Thanks for screwing the fans again Hasbro. Just like with the other classic seekers you screwed the fans yet again.

This happens to be in my backyard, and I'm a full-time attendee every year. This SO makes up for that pathetic "Menasor" they're also trying to pawn off on us.
I do really sympathize with the folks who were looking forward to this, though. It's unfortunate that Hasbro seems to love putting figures that are highly-sought-after by the fans out of said fans' reach.
My opinion... at least they MADE it. If Hasbro didn't make any more 'exclusives', then they wouldn't be able to make all of the cool repaints and resculpts and such that people want. They couldn't justify releasing a new Alternator at this time, and probably couldn't do it in the foreseeable future. It just wouldn't sell enough, this close to the movie. BUT, as an exclusive, they can get closer to their target market (the hardcore collectors that've been fans for years), and still offer the product at a decent price.

Crap in a hat!!!
What's the deal with the Rodimus theme this year? First, a repaint of 6 inch Titanium Rodimus as Menasaur (or however you spell it), and now this! Well, here goes another bunch of $$$, just like I had to spend for Alt. Nemesis Prime last year. I'm out to own every Alternator release, so this is a must have for me. I don't see why Hasbro only makes this available to SDCC. Why not a bunch of cons in a bunch of states, like WizKids does with their game exclusives (i.e. Heroclix)?

I will also be going to the con so I would be willing to help out with people that are interested, also I work for ups so I can get it shipped to you with a quickness as well. I want one too so hopefully not to expensive.
Anyone interested pm and we'll work something out when we know how much it will be and I can get shipping info for you.
Hopefully there isnt a 1 per person limit or something.

Nah.
Including postage, I got Nem Prime (their 'exclusive' last year) for £25-27ish. Thats hardly much more than the regular price of alts in this country.

I hope that he gets a general release in Australia, like last years SDCC figure Nemisis Prime did.
He is a whole lot nicer looking than NP too.
And the SDCC Titanium Menasor is a repaint of Titanium Rodimus too.. interesting, its almost a theme...

Yeah ive seen plenty on ebay for around the same price range. Shame i have no real interest in a Nemesis prime toy though. I woudlnt mind getting a reguler alt prime on the cheap for a re-spray idea i have.

It's time to convince Japan to become apart of the United States, so we don't have to keep buying overpriced TFs that become convention exclusives in the US...

Yes i am sure, amongst all the other politics, that is the number one reason why Japan would give up their independance and become a part of the united states....
