    I love Rook, one of my absolute favorite figures of 2015. I actually ended up buying a second because I wanted one I could mess with without requiring me to take Defensor apart.
    If Hasbro does release Groove stateside I'll pick up another Rook because he just seems like he'd be a squad of 3.

    A few coats of some future polish will work and tighten things up. Mine was like that on the right arm.

    A little Rook affection since he is getting booted from Defensors everywhere

    He's still my favorite CW figure. I always intended to buy a bunch of them to make a combiner with all Rook limbs and Rookskates but never got around to it. Didn't help that I never actually saw him in stores. <_<

    I have a pair of Rooks, it just felt right that way. Love this mold. Once Deluxe Groove arrives, the Rooks will get re-assigned to my White Knight Optimus Prime team.

    I've had one as part of Galvatronus for some while. In fact Galvatroniu has all the spare team members: Alpha Bravo, Off Road, Rook and Blast Off jet

    Nice. After Combining Groove with Defensor a couple times, I decided to keep Rook on the team. Not only because I don't like the way Groove looks on Defensor, but because I think he looks well enough on his own.
    So I guess it's a back handed compliment? :lol

    Here's hoping we get a wave of cheap used rooks on ebay in the next couple of weeks as people start grooving out.

    I booted Blades instead. Always hated the red limb that stood out too much.
    I would buy multiple rooks just because the mold is so good.

    Oh my, I decimated my Rook in order to make a base that Legends Groove can connect to in leg mode.

    Looks dope.

    But it's destroyed essentially. No wheels, No arms, parts sanded down, added a connector so Groove can securely attach, cut an extra groove into it so it can bend as a knee further. etc etc....

    And when in bot modes, it serves as a base-cannon gun for Groove to stand behind.

    Oh well. lol
