That looks good. It's hard to tell if there is a difference in the reds on both figures though. The images of the Takara one are darker than Seibertron's gallery. I do know I can always get this one if I can't find any more of the TRU one. :grin:

Takara's figure is has a coating of metallic red paint, which might be why the color is darker. Hasbro's Rodimus is just red plastic.

This figure looks great, but not enough for me to buy a 2nd of this mold. I am perfectly satisfied with the Hasbro version.

He actually looks better in car mode than the classics issue. The Hot rod car mode has always been meant to look a little cartoonish since G1 days. But in robot mode I hate his huge super-hero looking jaw...

Such a great alt mode, but such a terrible face mold.

Wow, good timing with the galleries! Seeing this, I'm glad I canceled my preorder as I'd rather have the Hasbro release. Takara's too shiny. :p

Great looking figure!

The only thing that will make it look even better is buying my Takara Blackout figure for a mere $45 and putting it in an action shot with Rodimus.

That would be the bee's knees.
