    I still really dislike how Rodimus looks (deco on his chest, the mod to make his chest bigger compared to TR), but I want that Targetmaster. Ugh.

    I just don't see the point of this Hot Rod anymore after the POTP Rodimus announcement.

    To be fair that Hot Rod doesn't include a Targetmaster, so is representing a different part in Hot Rod's history.

    I always preorder everything Takara but I may only keep Hot Rod's targetmaster. The translucent chest not really looking very good now we've seen POTP, may keep him if he looks better in hand or else the kids get another Hot Rod. They already have the Classics Hot Rod and TR Hot Rod in their pile...

    I love the shade of red Targetmaster Rodimus uses and how the new Rodimus Prime is a different red. I suppose Firebolt can be given to Rodimus Prime, but I'll probably keep both!

    So Kup is now a closer shade of teal that he was in the cartoon. I hope this silences a lot of bellyachers out there. Looking forward to the release in September. :)

    Takara really knows how to sell toys. They're just so much more invested in it, whereas the Hasbro folks could be selling shoes next to Al Bundy with equal fervor.

    Notice how they're imported as well. Hmmm...:rolleyes: 

    But, hey, if I was stuck shilling "ShardFormers: Yeah, Again" I guess I might just chuck a box of whatever however into a lifeless pile at major trade shows too.

    Huh... I don't like the Takara Sharkticon as much as I originally thought.

    It went from a must buy to a maybe not.

    Granted, the Japanese retail price is still higher then the US retail price. 2600 yen is still almost $10 more than the US cost of $15-17

    Kup just looks better every time we see him, so happy I waited for TT on this one.

    Because they put up the toys in a little action scene? Hasbro has done that a few times in the past few years, too.
