[KA]

cool! i can imagine optimus spazzing out seeing these guys XD

[Liokaiser]

Wow, that Hotrod collection is very impressive. Where did you get that Cybertron Hotshot repaint?

[Orodruin]

Ebay. It was around $130 or something- turns out I would've been better off waiting and buying the DVD set with a finished version of the figure instead of that proto, but oh well. I'm going to get the Cybertron version when that comes out too of course. :D

[Josh]

that is soooo cool ^___^

[Primal84]

Only missing are the crystal PVC chase Hot Rod w/matrix from ACT 2, and the TF Junior Rodimus Prime, at least as far as I know.Yeah...the Chase Hot Rod PVC :rock ! Looks better in person.

That's alot of Hotrod goodness right there!:rock

[Drew Eiden]

I paid 25 bucks for the Hot Rod PVC at botcon 2001... a decision i'll never regret Hot Rod rules! I mean my SN used to have hotrod in it! haha

Cool collection!

Lucky bastard :p I'd pay triple that easily if I could find the damn thing!

[JPrime]

I said it once and Ill say it again.... I LOVE COLLECTIONS BASED ON ONE CHARACTER! :D

Your collection rocks Oro. :rock

[bigkid24]

Wow, that has to be the first Hot Rod collection I've ever seen. That's cool. Nice collection.

[e3nine]

hahahaha, you have a superlinked Rodimus with Rodimus pants. Very cool. :lol

[Golden Age]

I love themed collections

[Revolution]

That's hot... :D

[Orodruin]

Thanks everyone. I've actually added two more to the shelf, a black Hot Rod with custom decepticon stickers, and a Sideswipe with custom stickers. Not sure when I'll get pics up though, I'm pretty lazy with that. :p

[Soundwarp]

:rock That's awesome!

[Orodruin]

I've added two new figures to the shelf, both customs. Hot Swipe was done by me (I'm posting a thread in the kitbash forum shortly) and the DeceptiRod was bought on eBay.

[Orodruin]

Well I finally got around to taking new pictures of the shelf! I was going to wait till Exillion came out but I figured what the hell. So here it is, new additions include the two customs pictured above, LoC Excillion, the crystal Rodimus PVC from my sig, and I think that's it for now.

I'll never forgive you Hotrod! Its your fault that Optimus died! :cry

[ILoveDinobot]

I'll never forgive you Hotrod! Its your fault that Optimus died! :cry

Oh please if Optimus didn't let Megatron crawl on the ground for 5 minutes while "talking". Optimus would have never died. Not Hot Rod's fault entirely.

[mrhillz]

That's awesome, he's one of my favorite characters too. Very nice collection.

[Soundwave.ca]

Those are great man, awesome collection of Hot Rod's :rock

That evil custom Hot Rod is especially cool.

[Orodruin]

Thanks everyone. :D

Oh please if Optimus didn't let Megatron crawl on the ground for 5 minutes while "talking". Optimus would have never died. Not Hot Rod's fault entirely.

And it's just as much Prime's fault for not ducking or something. :p

That evil custom Hot Rod is especially cool.

Thanks. :) Wish I could take the credit for making it (even though it's just a sticker job) but I didn't. I like how he helps break up the mass of red.

[Fairlady_Z]

Very cool collection! Hot Rod/Rodimus is one of my farvorite characters. I've wondered since this last BotCon about doing such a collection myself and just what all the different versions of this character that there were out there. Your collection is a great reference. Are you going to add figures like Checkpoint (repaint of E. Rodimus) and different versions of Hot Shot to your collection too? Nice customs too btw.

Thanks! I thought about adding the other versions of Hot Rod related molds like Checkpoint and yellow Hot Shots, but I'm not going to. Yellow Hot Shots are more of a Bumblebee homage as far as I'm concerned, and Checkpoint is just totally not a Hot Rod kinda thing. I might get him eventually if I see him cheap, just to say I have all 4 version of the mold.

[SydneyY]

Excellent collection! I am simply amazed to see how many Hot Rods are there. Do I see LoC Excellion?

[Orodruin]

Indeed you do, I grabbed him on eBay a few weeks ago. I figured why wait. :cool:

[Orodruin]

Updated! New pics, new layout,!

[Optimus Scourge]

Nice stuff, man! love the setup. when you gonna do the Black shelf? :D? I did...

[Orodruin]

Nice stuff, man! love the setup. when you gonna do the Black shelf? :D? I did...

Thanks. :) The black shelf might be a while, half the guys are in storage. Maybe next weekend if I feel motivated though. I'll let you know when I do. :thumbs2:

[Orodruin]

It's that time again- new pics! New pieces now include the Hard Hero Bust (which unfortunately blocks the view of the boxart of the reissue), Cyb Excillion, JR Rodimus Prime, and some random Japanese Rodimus. I think the SHBM figure and the talking statue are the only ones left now, at least till Classics and Attacktix come out.

Nice!

[Golden Age]

yeah, classics HR will feel right at home there.

[Golden Age]

Oh yeah..what about the Kiss Play Hot ROD? Ya know..the Mirage repaint?

[Orodruin]

Oh yeah..what about the Kiss Play Hot ROD? Ya know..the Mirage repaint?
I'll be getting it, don't you worry. :D Of course at that point I'll need to get a bigger shelf. Hell, I already do for that matter. I've thought about splitting into Hot Rods on one and Rodimus Primes on the other, but I'd rather keep them all together.

[diablien]

Yeah keep them together. I am attempting to complete my own collection. You should hold onto that prototype as it is the thing that can really make your hot rod collection unique to others! NOICE!!!!

[Eric]

Awesome collection, Orodruin! Man, I think I should make myself a themed-collection. I'll start a Swerve collection. I already own Alternators Swerve and Cybertron Swerve. Just need G1 and Universe and I'll be complete!

[planetjacker]

Excelent set of Hot Rods you got there. I love to see such collections.

[Orodruin]

Thanks guys. :) A Swerve collection, huh? Interesting idea... for me to poop on! :lol Sorry, been watching Triumph. If you've got the alt then you're pretty set there.

I need to get the attacktix figures now. Excellion and Rodimus, yes.

[cobra zartan]

I hate you for snagging that rodimus jr from anglo :P

[Josh]

thats "hot"



xD!!!!

[Golden Age]

Hey Orodruin, just saw some other Hotrods that youre missing at TFormers.com

http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=view&album=6634&pic=DSC07433.JPG&dispsize=800&start=0
I dont know why im putting so much thought into your collection, maybe im insane. Anyway as far as I can tell there are those two toys in the back of the picture, Classics Rodimus, Alternator hot rod, 3" titanium and 6" Titanium Rodimus Prime. Once you get these I will be able to sleep at night.

[Renidragon]

Dude, that's a SWEET Classics Rodimus gallery.

It's a good thing I don't know where in NJ Orodruin lives, cause I might be tempted to rob him otherwise. ;)

:D You managed to find one of the two figures I don't have now. In that pic you linked, the ones in the back are, on the left, a voice chip Rodimus statue, I think from a Japanese convention. The one on the right is a Sky Garry repaint from Brave, he doesn't count. :p The other one I don't have is SHBM Rodimus, a big pvc statue type thing from another Japanese con. I've got the 6" titanium and KISS Rodimus on pre-order, so fret not, they'll join the ranks soon. And Classics is sitting on my desk right in front of me. So sleep easier. :lol

Actually I want to get the two attacktix too, I've just been to lazy to ebay the little shits. :lol

And Reni, I'm glad you don't know where I live now too, and I'm keeping it that way! :lol

[Golden Age]

oh yeah...ive seen that giant PVC statue in one of my TF toy books. It looks really sweet. I think they made a Galvatron one too.

[Dark_Convoy]

Now you just need Judd Nelson to come sit on that shelf!

[Orodruin]

Now you just need Judd Nelson to come sit on that shelf!
:lol If he ever does a convention I'll have to get something signed! Maybe several something.... Classics, TFC, maybe a 6" titanium.

[UTK007]

AWESOME! I have always wanted the Hot Rod micromaster.

[Protoman]

Only missing are the TF Junior Rodimus Prime and the talking Rodimus Prime statue, I think (and hope!).

Your missing a lot more then that my friend, your talking to Mr. Hot Rod / Rodimus Prime completist. I have a collection just like so, cept more insane. Let's see now

Hard Heros Bust Hot Rod
Takara Decoy Rodimus Convoy (In both Green and Red)
Takara Decoy Rodimus Convoy V2 (Blue and Yellow)
Devastator/Hot Rod/Arcee mini display (I think done by Kabaya, I would have to look at my box, 2003)
Pull String Talking Rodimus Convoy (Takara 1986)
MC Axis Hot Rod Resin Kit
Kabaya 1986 Transformers 2010 Rodimus Convoy
Kabaya 1988 Transformers SD Rodimus Convoy
Kabaya 1988 Transformers Cybertron Leader Guns Rodimus Convoy's Gun
Superlink Gold Rodimus Convoy
Cybertron Excellion (I dunno if it released in your area yet)
Titanium Rodimus (large) (not out yet)
Titanium Rodimus (small) (ditto)

If you wanna count:
G1 Primus (Gold Rodimus Prime repaint)
Checkpoint (Rodimus repaint from Energon)
Variations like metal toe / plastic toe Hot Rod's or rubber/plastic wheel Rodimus (G1)
Release/box variations

If your need pictures of any of these for help identifying them just msg, I owe em all.

[Optimus Scourge]

no need to get heated over this man...it's just oro's collection, so what if it's not every single one? I still think it's cool.

[Protoman]

Not heated, just sharing info to a fellow Hot Rod nutcase, we are a rare breed...... we tend to get blamed for killing Prime......

[Predaking]

Man, my Hot Rod collection is tiny compare to you guys. :lol

[Rodimus]

You can't see it, but I am currently drooling.

[Orodruin]

Ok somehow I didn't notice there were new replies to this!

Your missing a lot more then that my friend, your talking to Mr. Hot Rod / Rodimus Prime completist. I have a collection just like so, cept more insane. Let's see now

Going through the list now-
Hard Heros Bust Hot Rod- Have it
Takara Decoy Rodimus Convoy (In both Green and Red)
Takara Decoy Rodimus Convoy V2 (Blue and Yellow) - never really paid attention to decoys, guess I need to now
Devastator/Hot Rod/Arcee mini display (I think done by Kabaya, I would have to look at my box, 2003)- have that, but it's not on the shelf since Hot Rod is so tiny
Pull String Talking Rodimus Convoy (Takara 1986)- really want that
MC Axis Hot Rod Resin Kit- never heard of that one
Kabaya 1986 Transformers 2010 Rodimus Convoy
Kabaya 1988 Transformers SD Rodimus Convoy
Kabaya 1988 Transformers Cybertron Leader Guns Rodimus Convoy's Gun- I have a KO Kabaya Rodimus, I think I might just count that as good enough for Kabayas.
Superlink Gold Rodimus Convoy- that and the silver one will be coming to me soon :D
Cybertron Excellion (I dunno if it released in your area yet) - have it, and it's been customized
Titanium Rodimus (large) (not out yet)- on pre-order
Titanium Rodimus (small) (ditto)- out, and I have 2- one loose and one sealed for the shelf.

If you wanna count:
G1 Primus (Gold Rodimus Prime repaint)- maybe. it's likely to be too pricey
Checkpoint (Rodimus repaint from Energon)- nah, different character. he doesn't count :p
Variations like metal toe / plastic toe Hot Rod's or rubber/plastic wheel Rodimus (G1)- I'm not that picky. Target Master and pre-TM are as big a fuss as I'm going to make over variants.
Release/box variations

Turns out there's some little SD Rodimus too that I'd never seen before, it was in the SD thread in toyark last week or so. Is that one of the ones you mentioned?

Oh yeah, also not pictured (since the shelf is just rediculously overpacked at this point) I've added the official DVD Excillion to the collection. And I hope to do at least one custom Classics version, I'm thinking total sho-ac with the hot pink and everything.

[Renidragon]

I wish I was as cool as Orodruin. :)

Well, I'm not THAT much a completionist. I love the character and I love the toys... but I don't feel a need to find everything Hot Rod.

Though I DO want that Hot Rod deco of Armada Hot Shot... and a TM Hot Rod.

So... where's your updated pictures with Classics Hot Rod? ;)

[Golden Age]

Ok somehow I didn't notice there were new replies to this!

:lol Nah, but your sig is still pretty cool. :thumb

You can probably get those two figures pretty cheap; I'd suggest the TFC #13 for TM Hot Rod, the box is so pretty.

I can't really take updated shots anymore, the shelf is full. I was planning to wait for the 6" anyway but I just don't know where I'm going to put any more. I've got a loose 3" I stashed on top of the JR, but I've got the sealed 3" and MIB DVD Excillion along with Classics that don't fit. Oh, and KISS Rodimus. Seriously need a bigger shelf.

Choro-Q Rodimus?
Nope, I have both versions. Not sure what the actual line name is for this one.

[Golden Age]

Hmm. Well I think that we should take up a collection for you. This would help you
A) find those last couple of Hotrods,
B) get all of us off your back.
We can call it "The Hotrod family reunion fund". :)

[Rodimus]

You make me feel bad like I'm just an phony for a Hot Rod fan. :( I don't have anywhere near that many Hot Rod toys.

:lol Go for it, the SHBM and the pull-string ones are bound to be expensive when I track them down.

You make me feel bad like I'm just an phony for a Hot Rod fan. I don't have anywhere near that many Hot Rod toys.
Don't feel bad man, the number of figures doesn't define how big a fan you are. Hell, this collection is as much about me having something to collect as me liking Hot Rod.

[Golden Age]

You know what it is? I'm living vicariously through your collection!

[Orodruin]

Updated and expanded! I took out a shelf of Clones to split up the Hot Rods. Now one shelf is all G1-based stuff, and the other is all the homage-based stuff. I also added 3 mega-grails, I'm sure you'll all spot them. :D

I'm still planning a fully customized Classics version, probably more than just the sticker job. Also working on a 3" custom and a PVC custom, but for now... it's I think as done as it's going to get.

[GogDog]

Ah man, you should include Kissplay Hot Rod with the G1 guys. That's no homage, thats the Rod himself!

[Boo]

Very impressive Oro! I've looked through your thread a lot of times, but never replied till now. I never even knew there was that many Hot Rods and Rodimus Primes... and stuff. Love the gold and silver Super Link versions!

[Golden Age]

:thumb You did it ! Congrats man!!!!! :rock You now have the best Hotrod collection evar!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[cobra zartan]

Not done till you snag that piece I showd you :D

[johnhood]

Cool collection of Hot Rod/imus!

[ILoveDinobot]

screw you and your lucky draws >_< you are beating me!!! anyway who is that rodimus behind titanium Roddy? That isn't rodimus junior is it? no wait rodimus junior is on the box to the side of titanium rodimus? who the hell is that big rodimus!?!?!?

[Orodruin]

screw you and your lucky draws >_< you are beating me!!! anyway who is that rodimus behind titanium Roddy? That isn't rodimus junior is it? no wait rodimus junior is on the box to the side of titanium rodimus? who the hell is that big rodimus!?!?!?
:lol Yeah the junior is boxed. The big one is the talking Rodimus statue. Japanese movie piece, I have the box too.

[ILoveDinobot]

:lol Yeah the junior is boxed. The big one is the talking Rodimus statue. Japanese movie piece, I have the box too. ooo yeah ok thanks :thumb

[Nightscream]

Your collection is the awesomesest! I'm glad I sold you those lucky draws, your collection is unbeatable now :) So is God Primus the only one you still need? Or doesn't that count since it's technically Primus?

[evil ivotron]

cool, rodimustastic

[Orodruin]

Your collection is the awesomesest! I'm glad I sold you those lucky draws, your collection is unbeatable now :) So is God Primus the only one you still need? Or doesn't that count since it's technically Primus?
I'm glad you did too. :D There's some decoys, kabayas (don't think I care), and I think an SD type thing I don't have yet, but as far as big stuff, gold Primus is the only thing left. Well, there's also the SHBM statue thingy, but apparently that was unproduced and runs around $1000... so that's out.

[Optimus8404]

My man U R insane! Nice collection though!

[TimothyVernon]

how can you not have the hot rodimus kiss players?

[cobra zartan]

how can you not have the hot rodimus kiss players? You didnt see the *updated pictures on post 62* did yea?

[surak777]

I had a friend say to me "dude there's only maybe 12 versions of Hot Rod and Rodimus out there!" (famous last words) and I knew I'd run accross your thread before in passing and admired it. So after showing him the first page (which I've just looked at all of them) I'd like to thank you for showing your collection and proving that one should never assume anything based on something someone told them. (Moral never assume as it makes an ass of you and me, and secondly you have more Hot Rods and Rodimus' than the law should allow)
It's a pleasure to look at! and you've arranged things very nicely

[Orodruin]

:lol Glad you liked it, I hope your friend did too.

[Optimus Scourge]

Man, I haven't been here in months and you got all kinds of new goodies :D

Seriously, awesome, man!

I'm waiting on some customs ;) and maybe then I'll do "The Black Prime Shelf" or maybe the black Prime bookcase :lol

[Autovolt 127]

Oroduin your a Hot Rod god now all you need are Robot Heroes Rodimus,Energon Hot Shot and a Ford GT Painted Like Hot rod :D

[onesock]

Oroduin your a Hot Rod god now all you need are Robot Heroes Rodimus,Energon Hot Shot and a Ford GT Painted Like Hot rod :D
Robot Heroes isn't out yet, he has KP Hot Rodimus, and Energon Hot Shot looks nothing like Hot Rod.

[Orodruin]

Well it's been some time, and I've added two extra special pieces and one or two others. Just shelf-wide shots this time, I'm extra lazy.

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b166/FireofOrodruin/collection/Rodimus_shelf_1.jpg
Main adds are LD Primus and SDCC Alt Rodimus of course. :) I do have the Robot Heroes Rodimus, but I seem to have lost all my Robot Heroes. Absolutely no idea where the little buggers are hiding.

[Rodr-Evil]

Extremely cool Hot Rod/Rodimus collection wow!!!

[Golden Age]

As you know I always look forward to updates on this collection. Look'n good.
No Tit Rod?

[Orodruin]

Both titaniums are there. The 6" is in alt mode on his stand; I have a MISB one for bot mode display but there's no space. I have 3 of the 3" up there; one loose, one MISB, and one customized to be more movie-accurate with hot pink limbs. Hard to see from the angle though, I should do a better shot.

[Golden Age]

oh man, its like "where's Waldo".

[jestermon]

You should have made him a saw as well, like mine, also the gun from a spychanger looks almost like his old guns, I did paint it silver though.

How's aout Energon Energon Hot Shot would probably complete it.

[Orodruin]

That's pretty sweet, nice job. :)

How's aout Energon Energon Hot Shot would probably complete it.

Nah... someone mentioned other Hot Shots a while back, I don't consider them Hot Rod homages. The E-E Hot Shot doesn't match either a Hot Rod style or Bumblebee. Plus I'm not a big fan of that mold.

[ILoveDinobot]

hehehe nice :thumb

[diablien]

I can't tell if you have both, but you know superlink Rodimus and energon Rodimus have different paint apps, right?

[Orodruin]

I can't tell if you have both, but you know superlink Rodimus and energon Rodimus have different paint apps, right?

I think it's just gray vs black parts, but yeah I have both. :) One is standing on the box, one is truck mode.

[Backstop]

now that is something different!!

[Orodruin]

*casts thread necromancy*

I've gotten at least 4 new figures plus a MIB version of the 6" titanium since the last shots... who thinks I should do new pics? Or should I wait for Henkai Roddy?

[XJunky]

New pics! This is one of my favorite collection threads.

[Optimal Optimus Prime]

I too vote for new pictures.

[Witwicky Camaro]

That is the biggest collection of Hot Rod/Rodimus Figures I've ever seen. In fact, its the only one I've seen! That is so awesome, man.

[Orodruin]

What timing, I just got work my Henkai Rodimus is in at BBTS so I think I'll wait. Given their shipping time it should be about a week.

[Mr. Knight]

Great collection. what is the G1 black Hot Rod with the Decepticon icon? I've been looking it up and i can't find any information on it, is it a custom?

[omega knight]

me no see classic roddi

[Orodruin]

Great collection. what is the G1 black Hot Rod with the Decepticon icon? I've been looking it up and i can't find any information on it, is it a custom?

It's a custom sticker set Reprolabels used to carry. The figure itself is the same black Hot Rod also on the shelf.

me no see classic roddi
Look at the less-old pics here (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-collection-showcase/90990-hot-rods-extended-family-reunion-5.html#post1567691). He's there.

I'm hoping to get some new shots up soon since I've added Henkai Rodimus, Botcon Beardimus, and a long-in-the-works custom. I really need more shelving...

[MetroBoy]

No Hot Rod collection is compleate without the MyClone. Glad to see you snuck him in there. Now if only we could get us a Mighty Mugg version.

[Orodruin]

I'm not really into Mighty Muggs, but as soon as I heard they were making some TF MMs I started hoping for Roddy. I may have to staple his feet to the top of the shelf to get him in there, but I'll get him.

Your collection has come a long way since I saw it last. Looking realy good. The custom pieces are a nice addition.

Damn you, and your lucky draws! But looks awesome. I was outbid on a Rodimus junior a while back and I haven't seen one since :(. But I hope to surpass you one day in Rodimii :-p.

Awesome update! What's the little chrome fella in front of the Rodimus bust?

Haha, that little out-of-focus guy is a little statue type thingy that came with a Japanese issue watch, and a Metroplex figure of the same size. BBTS has the set here (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK10358&mode=retail&picture=in), thankfully I got mine for far cheaper.

Damn you, and your lucky draws!
