Now that I finally have Commander Rodimus Prime, I can truly say what I think of it.
First, is it a "true" Commander? Hell yeah. Because having the bot without the trailer and the cannon would make no sense and having everything together make it worth it.
The vehicle, the bot, and the base all look glorious. Plus everything is easy to transform without instructions.
HOWEVAH, there's some serious tolerance flaws. Even though I plug in the cannon on both tabs, the trailer cannot fully close. I'm sure it's not catching on the cannon at all, but on
something. Also, the bot arms are difficult to tab evenly in the vehicle mode. Another thing that is a bit annoying is that all that inner storage space is not enough to store everything. So I ended up with a blue pinecone beside the space winnebago. Finally the bot's calves panels don't really tab in and just float.
Are these annoyances deal breakers? Not really. That Roddy is definitely a small MP and was pretty much enjoyable overall. I'm glad that I payed 95$can plus taxes instead of the regular 125$can. This makes the small flaws much more tolerable.
My recommendation for those on the fence to get this guy: wait for a sale.

Only things missing here are both MPs.... Or not.
