    While I hope it is a hint at a base mode, it looks like the Rodimus shell the trailer forms that the Hot Rod car plugs into. You can just make out the legs at the bottom of it.

    I hope he ends up with a SG Autobot symbol. Or at least an optional sticker.

    Then again, I’m sure Reprolabels will have more accurate SG flames and a proper symbol. I’m just curious about how Hasbro will deal with the story elements / bio...

    "The Autobots sent their newest troops from Cybertron to Earth to man their new energy collection facility. When Ultra Magnus died en route, Hot Rod was left without an authority figure to reign him in..."

    From the official discription upon his reveal at Toyfair.

    So basically Rodimus is corrupted by the Dark Spark/Dead Matrix/Matrix of Chaos. Unicron's equivalent to the traditional Matrix of Leadership. Thus, instead of bearing the title of Prime after Primus he is given Unicronus after Unicron. Kinda makes me wonder if Nemesis Prime would become Optimus Unicronus or Nemesis Unicronus. Either way, this is intended be G1 Rodimus and not SG Rodimus, regardless of whatever colored insignia he sports.

    Sorry Wreck-Gar... Rodimus Unicronus is the new "Mr.Suave" Mustache King of Cybertron.

    Aw man, a reissue Skrapnel after I bought the cheapo one from ebay? :D  No matter, I'll get this one too. Then I can compare! The plastic does seem a little less shiny on the ebay one. Not a knockoff, I'd say...but I'm glad.


    And I'm sure they'll reissue a box set for 2019 of all three, requiring even more repurchasing :D  GO TEAM!
