Greetings Seibertronians!

LinaNui and Dominus Prime have pointed out that Prime VS Prime has just posted his video review of the highly anticipated Kingdom Commander Class Rodimus Prime!

He comes with his huge trailer that converts into a weapons platform and many more accessories like his weapons and blast effects. Rodimus himself may be "voyager sized", but he has the heft, the MEAT of a heavy-duty leader, with painted details all over and a transformation scheme that is very creative with many neat tricks utilised.

You can check out the video review for yourself below:

I'm 50/50 on this one. It's a great figure. I have nothing bad to say about it. But it just wasn't what I wanted. :roll:

As Sam Gideon would say "Not what I was after, but it'll do!"

What DID you wanted? I'm curious.
Is it about the Rodimus himself, or did you want another character entirely?

Man that Rodimus looks nice... I might need to preorder a second one...

I'll stick with titanium Rodimus, the winnebago front section looks pretty bad as well as the hood of the car. I'm almost sold on ss86 hotrod though but will wait and see if it gets a a better paint finish figure to fix the yellow roof.

HERETIC!

Still, the "horrible" Titanium is a nice figure and take less space on a shelf.
Do you have the PotP leader?

Just Eeevil potp version as I didn't like it in Rodimus colors. I'm keeping tr galvatron over Kingdom and kingdom Rodimus is definitely going to look a bit too small with him (something that titanium already dies with out paying £80 for a new Rodimus to do :p).

Yeah I'm so over the "Winnebago" term so overly used. 8-|

Anyway I was quite impressed on the difference between the 2 in alt mode alone. I had thoughts of keeping POTP in alt mode but I admit I've changed my mind.

So is anyone thinking Rodimus Unicronus? :-P

Possibly, but I know a lot of people that want an all gold Version that is Primus based on the TT selects pages which just came to an end.

Why? I find the term SPACE WINNEBAGO both ridiculous and awesome! Plus Rodimus must have his fishing rod in his inventory somewhere and the rest of the camping gear may not be far.

Seriously, I'd love to get a BBQ set to his scale, a lantern, and other things for a nice display!

Cue a hyper limited Lucky Draw Rodimus Convoy in 3...2...1

If Hasbro has good sense, they should release a Gold Primus in Selects maybe minus the trailer. Its an easy repaint, and should sell fairly well.

JTPrime used their detective agency and found more listings.
https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/new-listings-for-kingdom-blaster-red-figures-and-sdcc-set.1213960/

Tra Gen Studio series voy 86 Hot Rod variant

Updates on other rumored figures.

The kingdom World collide 4 pack is also apart of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line, so it probably includes some sort of Bee.

Tra Gen Studio series LDR 86 Starscream Cape Is EAN: 5010993950430

Tra Gen Studio series Voy TF6 Soundwave is EAN: 5010993940103

From the looks of things, Kingdom's getting extended like Siege. We're probably seeing some exclusives stragglers and Legacy Wave 1 figures get pulled forwards.

Comment by Razorbeast88 May 19, 2021

Happy for Blaster, hopefully some of his cassettes are released in the future as well

I'm assuming hot rod variant is SG/unicronus (hopefully)

Worlds collide thing seems underwhelming but maybe it gives buyers another chance for Netflix bee

What's SDCC 1?

San Diego Comic Con exclusive figure I would assume.

Comment by Rodimus Prime May 19, 2021

I wonder if Blaster will be an all-new mold or some kind of retool of Soundwave.

Re: Transformers: Kingdom Commander Class Rodimus Prime Video Review (view post)

Comment by Sowndwave76 May 19, 2021

Even though I still think the face sculpt could have been better, Rodimus is a pretty good looking figure.
But I still won't get him because that trailer and the accessories don't equal $40+ for me.
The inside of the trailer looks pretty bad with all of those peg holes, and both the cannon and the underside tray are pieces of filler. The whole thing would sit in a the box...
So while the figure's a legit voyager, and probably worth $40, I will probably never get him.
On sale at $60 and I'd still pass.

Definitely excited about Blaster... I'm assuming he'll be a re-tool of NF Soundwave.
But that's a bit unfortunate unless it's a major re-tool. His proportions should have relatively long legs.

I am anxious to see the Coronation SS... Even though I'm 99.99999% sure it'll be a hard pass.

If the Worlds Collide set includes NF Bee I'll be very tempted since I missed out.
Although I hope if he's included that his color is more of a Yellow and not so much Yellow-Orange.
But it'll all depend on who else is included and what the price tag is.
Maybe someone will be willing to do a split deal.

Well, for the past couple months all I've been seein are people wishing for Artfire & Blaster. Congratulations! You're getting what you wanted.

As for me? I guess I'll just sit here & wait another freakin decade to see if they'll ever make what I want. RANSACK, BARRAGE, VENOM, CHOP SHOP, SQUEEZEPLAY, FANGRY, HORRI-BULL & SLAPDASH.

Year after year after year. Reveal after reveal. And still Nothin!!! :BANG_HEAD:

I guess I'll just sit here & play with my Titan Master heads of SQUEEZEPLAY, FANGRY, HORRI-BULL & wish they had bodies. Thanks Hasbro! Make the character's head but not it's body. That's always fun. GOOD THINKIN! :roll:

Same thing with my TR "Pretenders".
Where are my modern updates?

It may take years, but they'll get their turn.
Like it took 30 years for the Headmasters to come back.
