    Black Rodimus Prime = Win
    Menasaur as Black Rodimus Prime = Loss

    Seriously, why not have him be Nucleon Quest Rodimus Prime or an upgraded Nemesis Prime?

    What's next, a black and orange Titanium Cheetor as Predaking?

    Did anyone else notice the 'Pimp Daddy' Destro on the page? :)

    Hmm, you know, you're right.... it does look more sinister. I wonder if that is Photoshop/lighting trickery or an actual mold change?

    I find it hard to believe they would change the mold... and if they did, why not just do a whole new head?

    EDIT: For that matter, why did they keep the flames on him? Such a bizarre choice for a figure.

    I guess I don't understand why the Stunticons fused into one body is somehow a worse idea than another ZOMG EVIL NEMESIS CLONE.

    Menasor is not a lizard. :)

    For me it's the Destro figures, Alt Rodimus, Legends She-Hulk, JLU 3-pack and the Blink bust.

    It'll be a difficult hunt for me. :(

    I really don't like this repaint. And the story behind it is ass. I'll stick with Alt Hot Rod and the Bender Bank this year.

    Wow, Menasor has a pretty cool bio. I think they should have just made him Motormaster but whatever.

    You so know they are going to do that now. The sad thing is you won't even get the credit.

    Word. It just looks silly, like a black and white Roddy with purple slapped on in a few spots

    holy crap i'm just a G1 fan I don't understand why a black & white version of Rodimus Prime is being called Menasor I thought Menasor was a combiner and why is Hot Rod being called Rodimus please someone help me I'm so confused to the point that I'm afraid to use periods

    Hasbro lost the trademark on "Hot Rod".

    That's why the character has been called "Hot Shot" since Armada.
    However, if they are redoing the character "Hot Rod" from the 80s, they call him "Rodimus".
