    Very intrigued, but as others have said it's going to come down to the overall quality and face sculpt for me to commit to this. I demand at least a smirk option!

    looks very cool so far. it's a bummer hasbro never decided to do something like this themselves. oh well, their loss.

    Hmm...

    Considering HasTak did 2 of the same-sized UMs in one year (one of them straight out of the comics), I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Lost Light Rodimus not too far over the horizon...

    Seems like demand is there.

    To not make a MTMTE Rodimus would be a huge mistake especially as we have Megatron and Magnus who are 2.3 of the leadership on the ship.

    Yeah. I just don't see it not happening. Especially after the warm welcome Cloud Rodimus got...

    Nah, I want a miniature Rod Pod.

    Something like Armada Dead End.

    I'm so sorry staff, I understand what I did wrong...

    The silhouettes are at a different angle from Alex Milne's concept sketches (3/4 view as opposed to full on) so it seems like SXS already has some art to go. Silhouettes seems spot on so we're off to a good start, at the very least.

    Fingers crossed SXS recognises the demand for the figure and gives it their all to make for us the definitive MtMtE Rodimus.

    Huh. I don't follow the comics- I can't even remember what MTMTE stands for.

    I've seen the bot mode before and like it. I hadn't seen the car. I can't say I'm sold on the car. But if SXS actually delivers a bot I like I'll be happy.

    It looks pretty decent, they've (in the comics) done away with the Space Winnebago and moved to a more imposing looking vehicle. It's not the hot rod we remember but certainly more befitting of a leader.

    Yep, that's one of the pratfalls of being a Hasbro fan versus being a Transformers fan. Sure, semantically, this isn't a Transformer®, but let's not kid ourselves - this is a Transformer! :)
