Takara/Tomy Masterpiece Rodimus Confirmed - Transformers News
*Even years prior to Takara merging with Tomy, rumors from various interviews/snippets in Japan have hinted at a Masterpiece Rodimus Prime. Unlike in the US, Rodimus Prime/Hot Rod were VERY popular characters in Japan and were well received. The rumors may have even originated 5 years ago or possibly more...it's been a while* **Also, S250 has been a VERY credible source for years**. |

this will be an itneresting one...though i dont think he should be an MP since even as rodimus he wasnt prime sized. Maybe a voyager class yeah but not an MP/leader class.

I'm excited for this because this means a MP Galvatron will soon follow and I'll be all over that one

In any case, Japan LOVES Rodimus. I suspect figure-wise, this may be the best Masterpiece figure yet. Dude I really hope so, because the only decent Galvatron figure in the past 10 years has been the Energon version, which is cool, but a bit too simplified for my Classics figures. Energon was disappointing but Galvatron was one of the few kick ass figures. |

I'd prefer a Hot Rod(cooler car, no need to pay extra for a trailer)
Rodimus Prime, just like G1, would be much easier to make less blocky. Are we sure which version this is since Hot Rod is called Rodimus in Japan...and the U.S. now? An ultimate version would be amazing if it could be both characters! Either way, its pretty thrilling news. He won't be as awkward as Megatron had to be and there are lots of fun accessory possibilities, like zoom goggles, saw hand, and dare I hope for his Targetmaster friend? |

Now is this the Takara Import version of MP, or the Hasbro releases like Optimus, Starscream, and now Grimlock?

You never know, the MP Seekers weren't Prime sized either. I'm guessing it might feature a Hot Rod figure as a base that will have the winnebago part turn into his armor. Or maybe it will be different with the toy mimicking the original G1 version, and having the winnebago part just turn into a battle station.

I love Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime but I'm pretty much done with Transformers. Galvatron is the only MP I'd really want.
I'd also buy Darkwing & Dreadwind in a heartbeat but that will never happen. |
