Not going to lie but there is something wrong going on with that green like as if it's too bland or something can't explain it.
I think I'll stick with Hasbro.

I personally think the yellow chest of the original complimented the design much more nicely, but I'm glad peeps trying to get their movie cast as accurate as possible have an option here.
Shades of green feel hard to pin down, considering the variability of animation, broadcast etc.

I like the yellow chest but I loathed the yellow plastic colour Hasbro used, so I ended up painting over all the yellow plastic on my Springer with a richer ever so slightly orangey yellow that I had also used to add extra details on my AoE Deluxe Bumblebee (like the yellow strips on the thighs the Takara version has and my Hasbro one was missing) and I think it looks much better.

Takara...I like the effort but no...no, no, no.
You repainted this same mold into a Rodimus. This is a fantastic mold but learn from your Hasbro counterparts and make a new Rodimus. Say not to the repaint drug.

Meh, I'd rather Cloud Rodimus, than some new, uninspired generic hot rod. Now if we're talking the futuristic semi version, I could definitely do with a 2016 version of the semi truck

I wilI proudly declare my support for this Springer - I like it. It may be my favorite version of this mold.

I dont think the Rodimus repaint was Takara's idea. Wasnt it a series of E-Hobby exclusives, thus more like a TF-club exclusive type of repaint?

Yeah these werent standard takara issues, they are more like the Japan equivalent of Club figures or con exclusives in the US.

Yeah, figured, it's a shame, as I wouldn't've minded getting Rodimus, Hellwarp, Shockwhirl

That line surprised me greatly. As Megatronus said when he found that the Rodimus redeco was the best use of the mold, I found the Shockwave rdeco of Whirl to be the best version of that mold. And I dont know why, its the same mold, no differences. I guess its just the attention to detail that went into these redecos was more than usual and the paint scheme felt so cohesive.

Yes, clearly quite a large amount of time and effort was invested in that line, they all felt so 'fresh' and unhindered by the need to be slavishly 'G1', it was a real breath of fresh air
