Well he does continue step up throughout the Movie, If he wasn't involved in "the Incident" he'd be much better remembered.

I like this guy specifically because his Prime robot mode is so beefy. I always felt G1 Rodimus didn't have enough visual distinction from Hot Rod, and this guy solves that.

Agree, this Rodimus actually looks like a powered version of Hot Rod instead of an upscaled one with an older face.

This emgo video wins the award for the most size comparisons 😀

Man, this mold idea that they’ve had for Optimus and Rodimus would be perfect and make perfect sense for Ultra Magnus.

I think this is one of the most successful integrations of both Hot Rod and Rodimus into one figure in both vehicle and robot modes. Yeah it's partsforming but I'll take it over some of the other options where he looks the same in robot mode but you just extend his limbs a bit and swap out his face.

mrwickedweasel If it weren’t for Hot Rod’s legs being exposed while he’s Rodimus, I would love this guy. If they made something that covered them up and locked them in place, this would be an amazing figure. And for $50, we should expect some decent engineering that lets the figure hold a pose without the arms flailing around. I get it, they’re aimed for kids, and this is an amazing kids toy. But Hasbro also knows that collectors, and lots of them, buy these too. And they like it when they can be posed. I’m not saying make every figure masterpiece quality, but something like Titans return Sixshot shouldn’t be too hard to ask for.

Id have to disagree with you on that, I think G1 Rodinmus looks better. Plus I think most of these big remakes are made for the nostalgia 35 year olds. With all the amazing remakes they have already made, this one falls flat. The average kid is going to get the $5 to $10 transformer at Walmart.

Yes! Thank you for the video. Bought myself this piece last year ago and decided to open the box today for the first time. I wanted to transform the figure into a vehicle but the instructions are far more worst than an average instruction when you buying a product from IKEA. Eventually I have managed it thanks to your video. 🙏

When you brought out the g1, I was super happy. I still have my original from when I was a kid. I loved that toy. Still do. Really looking forward to the new one.

I love the boxie look and i love the parts forming too

Optimus has Solus and Rodimus has Liege Maximo. That's why Hot Rod causes the death of Optimus Prime :P?

Personally, I like the evolution figures. It adds more playability for the children (duh, it’s a toy), and for me, it’s kind of satisfying to see how it all comes together. I have a feeling they’re going to release a Megatron for this line, and I’m curious to see how it would turn out. Gun to tank, maybe?

I like, nay love the concept but definitely agree with the funkiness of the execution of it. I feel it's a concept to revisit when they have worked out how to overcome some of the proportions flaws and the like.

Thank you for comparing the small HR to a wider variety of recent offerings.

The ending is epic!!!!

Hey emgo! Nice rodimus dangerfield skit.

OMG! X,D X,D That was funny as heck! Best end gag till end of 2017. Heck, you should do tribute of your end gags for 2017.

I just realised all of the collector cards are different. I have this dude and the collector card says Rodimus Alpha Trion

I love your videos. Your video on Masterpiece Hot Rod got me to order one of my own. He's currently standing next to my monitor.

"Don't mess it up!". Truly, words to live by.

I'm getting this for christmas along with the optimus primal power of the primes and a few other figures! So excited! I was originally gonna get the rodimus unicronis but it sold out and it was also a lot cheaper than this rodimus but either way so excited !

Awesome skit Emgo! Never a bad review, but I think mascot is due for a review.

I like this a lot. I very recently received this two-pack of Rodimus and Optimus from TFSource. I know you are a fan of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider, snd both figures are very much like solo-mecha transformations to robo. They also remind me somewhat of old Brave-series transformations.

Love the How It Should've Ended style ending

yes! yes! I want this toy review!!!

I wonder what will be on the list of Decepticon power-ups this year (apart from Evil Rodimus).

That ending for sure! I wish you would have shown the "deluxe hot rod" with leader class Optimus.

Just got him today, and he's my very first Rodimus toy. While the pressure needed to snap pieces into place scare me, this toyline is a breath of fresh air compared to RID 2015's toyline.

Awesome

Hey, at least his trailer is actually used to transform him totally into Rodimus Prime! I have honestly been waiting for a figure to do so. My favorite Rodimus Prime is still the Platinum edition, because it was a very smooth transformation and solid piece.

I have this figure. It's an ok Hotrod with a base mode, a really crappy Rodimus Prime, but an alright not-Lotus with a weirdo camper attached. The best part about this figure are the two pegs on top of the camper in vehicle mode making this an excellent display stand for Studio Series "86 Hotrod. *I bookmark this video because I can never remember the proper position of the bicep sections when storing the arms on the camper in vehicle mode.

Optimus prime looks awesome too

They look interesting, except for the back-kibble.

I can't wait for the rodimus unicronus repaint

Wow I love it

i have this, just after christmas and ... i like it... so much! :-)

I think there's a upgrade for rodimus prime hands and shoulders now. I already ordered. Can't wait

They finally have the prime leaders pull a power convoy nice

I do kinda like this , but think I'll wait for a takara version. They will hopefully fix the colour issues and some detailing on the wheels etc.

Very cool I have starscream voyager class

That is an amazing Rodimus Prime figure!

Nice pick.

backpack folded out also makes for a passable jetpack.

Love the masterpiece new an old wish I could afford those for sure.

That is awesome my friend has that toy

Putting the TR Hot Rod Titan Master into the matrix frame as the Rodimus matrix looks like something IDW's Rodimus would make.

I love that MP Rodimus AKA-"Why the hell is it so freaking expensive, god dang it" Prime!

I just cannot unsee the shoulder legs

Me: sees emgo posted a new video for power of the primes rodimus Me: clicks/taps as fast as I could

I know I'm late to comment on a video like this, but the two toned red on Rodimus is a result of Hasbro trying to make Hot Rod the bright red that his original 80s toy was and trying to make the trailer part of him like the Rodimus Prime figure in the 80s. The red on the original Hot Rod and the red on the original Rodimus Prime are two different reds, take a closer look of the two and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I can see the off color shoulders is see as shoulder armor as well carry over from hotrod not seen well in past official version that tried mixed the two as the kibble on the arms remind me of a kimono sleeves. I try see each a different version not keep try see the newest version as a "upgrade" since that what the Masterpiece lines is for. ^^; still yeah the shoulder as thighs... still good work.

Everytime I see a new Rodimus that you review, I am terrified for you, considering you need to delicately play with the first MP Rodimus. LOL
