This is an awesome figure.

The complexity of this Transformer is what every kid in the 80s expected Transformers to be. This thing is bonkers. i have one. I've Transformed it twice. I kind of want to buy a second one so I can have it in both forms without doing 36 steps.

You can put the giant turret on his back and also clip the sword on the back of his foot where there are 2 pegs for those holes in the sword

Man this is the toy that got me into transformers collecting i really hope that they do another masterpiece rodimus prime and this time have him be just rodimus like this toy

I can’t get my trailer to close properly! But besides that I’m excited about the figure. Hopefully somebody will make a upgrade kit for the trailer roof to close and other stuff

found it on clearance! btw im glad the sword is not rubber!

I kind of wish his trailer wasn't that big(might've cut the price a bit), but this probably the best Rodimus Prime in the mainline we'll get and he'll be a good bookend for a collection.

It takes more force than I'm usually comfortable with but you can definitely get the spoiler to peg in and stay pegged in as it should be.

Nice! I finally got him last week

There was one episode where he transformed into the car and the trailer came from behind, connecting. The Face of Nijika, if I'm not mistaken

Perfect display with the SS HotRod and Kingdom Galvatron for sure/

What about a Rodimus Prime in the 86 series?

as for sword it is from the regeneration 1 comics and is known as the sword of primus

Watching the transformation of this gave me some pause on gett8bg this. I've got the 86 Shattered glass Hot Tod and can see all the similarities but this feels like an overwngineered version of that. I had considered this figure for a while but maybe I'll wait till someone inevitably wants to sell it pre owned.

Just got mine good price from the store but I cannot get the shoulder 's to lock in at all

Hey to close the sides of the trailer better, fold the “shield” parts of the gun platform UP instead of down. Another tip - shave the front shorter handle of his gun down a bit and the back peg will sit nicely on top of the trailer in the hole. One of the stupidest things about this set is his gun folds but still doesn’t FIT anywhere inside the massive trailer.

Aww you didn't do the "this is the end of the road, Galvatron" pose.

I love this figure, but man is it a pain to transform. The shoulder wheels are hard to push into place and the double hinge arms are very difficult to tab in. The legs can also be a problem when trying to seat them properly for car mode. Im always afraid Im going to break it. I also thought the black leg plastic could be a little less flimsy considered you have to bow it out a little bit to get the back wheel in or out for the legs. The trailer was excellent though and plenty of weapons for him. I like it, but I still think Cyclonus is the standard for this set.

​@@geeboysgamesandmore49​I'd say the figure by itself is more than a $30 figure. Just like Hot Rod in comparison with Deluxes, there's a lot of extra packed into this figure that makes it better than the typical $30 Voyager-sized figure. That said, I agree that if you don't want the trailer then it probably is overpriced as that is still a significant fraction of the cost. For my part, I love the trailer and the whole package so it easily justifies being a commander class to me and is well worth the price. I suspect there will be a lower-cost trailer-free release at some point with just the main figure (like Netflix Optimus Prime) so that may be a good option for folks who don't want the trailer.

@@redshark92 Fair enough on being more than $30. Still I can’t shake the fact that I just won’t use the trailer much. It was easier to justify buying the Earthrise dead Optimus for me because it was cheaper and frankly the trailer functions well as a death bed but this just isn’t doing it for me. It’s a cool battle platform and all but I don’t really have a lot of that kind of thing in my displays and I just wouldn’t be inclined to display him with it.

Although the toys is leader, he's a commander class

I think, at this point MP Transformers is dead. The quality on MOST of the new Hasbro stuff, seems to be good enough, at a WAY lower price point, particularly since MP's have raised their Prices so high. Hasbro seems to be going back over its MP releases and doing the G1 stuff to replace the MP format. This Rodimus is good enough for Rodimus. So much so, I wouldn't feel the need to go MP Rodimus, and though I have the DX9 from way back, I felt like that was good enough. This Commander class is basically, their cheaper retool of an MP style Transformer. Leaders are around 50-55 bucks. Titans are 160 (Buy them on sale). Commander is that midpoint where, over 100 would be crazy, it's not an MP, but we have to charge more than a Leader due to the tooling etc. Let's meet the customer halfway and go 75. Wait, they took the bait on this on previous releases? Let's go 85 now =p. Yeah, I see you Hasbro =p.

I use the "Hotrod" robot as Rodimus and it just has a trailer combine mode similar to how some of the Optimus figures can combine with their trailer for a super robot. I like the size difference of the POTP "Hotrod compared with the SS Hotrod and he just looks like Rodimus. I also like how his face is a bit more mature without looking like Kup's older brother (like the commander class version does LOL)

I'm sorry but after watching yours and emgo review of this toy I can't refrain to call both reviews as BAD COMEDY. How do you call WFC Siege Shockwave a bad toy in the Leader class price point even insulting Hasbro but you can't do the same with "Commander class" Rodimus Prime being as both figures are Voyager class size ACTION FIGURES with "accessories". The empty trailer adds nothing to the base figure. Jeez, the "drone" for Jetfire adds more playability and versatility to the figure than the trailer for Rodimus. it is egregious how both of you get in the way of not comparing this commander class toy to the previous very good Commander toys. Some issues: Rodimus with his trailer weight less, much less, than the previous Commander toys. That trailer is nothing besides a box of empty plastic with bad QC control and with a bunch of 5mm ports for what ???.... for what are all those ports???? The wheels are underpainted. In fact, many features of this toy lack paint. Even Siege Shockwave has more paint than this thing. Better yet compare the paint alongside SkyLynx. FFS. That turret with the two cannons is not modular enough. A pair of holes from the trailer could have been used here. The cannons should have been removeable in the same way you can remove the cannons from Jetfire and make bigger weapons with them. ohhh... and the joke of black blaster effects... Bad comedy.

The only other current Commander I have is Jetfire. Yes, Rodimus + Trailer weighs less than Jetfire, but he's also designed a hell of a lot better. The Jetfire figure is great, but the transformation and engineering is really simple and that is a factor. As to the main figure, he's Voyager sized but he's not a Voyager. Comparing him side-by-side with any Voyager reveals a large difference in quality and engineering. re: Shockwave, I think the issue with him as a Leader is there wasn't any reason for it. The extra accessories were just made up out of nowhere to justify the bump. Earthrise Prime is similar, but fewer people complain about him because his accessories are actually relevant to the character, just like Rodimus.
