What are you talking about? Says Rodimus right on the package.

 

yea but its realy hot rod. rodimus is when he opens the matrix and becomes the leader of the autobots. hes hot rod and u cant realy trust the packages bcuz they called octane tankor for the new classics and they call blue streak silver streak but we know who they realy r

 

if i can't get my hands on the botcon evil rodimus i'd consider buying this one.

 

You're thinking of Rodimus PRIME, who hasn't been released since the Titanium Series.

 

This.
All Hot Rods are Rodimus now I think. They lost the trademark?

 

That spoiler just looks awful chromed. I do not like this at all.

 

I agree with Olds, frankly. I actually prefer the Classics anyway, it's a beautiful update and loks better than G1 Hot Rod did anyway.
But if I were hankering for that G1 effect, I'd choose the Reprolabels option. The thing I don't like about the bonnet deco on the Henkei version is that you've got the orange section on the chest, but the flames printed straight onto red on the tops of the arms - and it just looks inconsistent to me.

 

o my god did u people even read wut i wrote i said they call him RODIMUS even though his name is HOT ROD thats wy i was like wait when did they make a classics rodimus but then i realized it was hot rod

 

Sideswipe119 - Read the comments above yours. Takara_destron answered your question. They lost the trademark to the name "Hot Rod", or it was too generic a name to copyright if memory serves, so they called him Rodimus. Exactly the same reason for Octane being called Tankor.

 

i know but im just saying that i got confused for a second becus i was thinking of rodimus prime and im so used to him being called hot rod thats all i was saying

 

so i thought that they meant there was a rodimus prime classics thats where i got confused

 

Now is the real Hot Rod!

 

henkei rules!

 

I am a big fan of Rodimus toys but I have to pass on this one since I already have the Hasbro version. Between the Animated, Classics 2.0, and all those Seekers from Henkei, MP, Titanium that I have to get so.. no money left for this.  

 

Now THAT'S just Prime... err.. Rodimus!

 

Just purchased him along with Henkei Megs and Mirage.
