    Wow, that looks way better than I thought it would!

    I'm not sure which one I prefer more, but excellent find!

    Hey Dare! thanx bro for the simple tip, I've tried the "light tug" method you suggested & it works. now he has a slightly longer & angular looking face :thumbs2: 

    No need to use much force while doing it, just pull it with gentle force that's all.

    Out of curiosity, is that face compatible with City Commander?

    Great find!

    Personally, I find this upgrade better in hand and it's really an impressively engineered kit.

    Nice find Drillbit. I'm glad I kept my Crystal Hotrod.

    The armour is okey, I'm more stoked about the Haywire figure (which I have on pre-order with Kapow). Looks rather lovely.

    Hey thanks for the SG combo pics! Doesn't look very good but was curious as hell about it.

    "Bearable?" I can't even tell the difference. Which is good seeing as how I wasn't collecting in 2006 and so I sure as hell will not pay any price for Hot Rod other than for the 2 pack.

    I can see the difference in vehicle mode but I don't really care in that case. I mean, it's clearly a trailer/add-on anyway.

    I still can't get into it. I am glad everyone is enjoying it though.

    Very appreciate all the comparison pics shared of different versions. I was particular curious on how crystal Rodimus look on the armor. It turn out quite good, but still not as nice as Classics. Interesting to see instead of having the armor geared towards the more premium Henkei Rodimus, it turn out it suits the Classics Rodimus the best, both in the matching burgandy red & the orange wings. Though Henkei's vehicle mode looks better.

    Now I know which Rodimus I need to hunt down.

    I really really like this and cannot wait to get it but I've got to be honest, the arms / shoulders look a little bit big ?

    I'd like to see the secret not touching anything else.

    That reminds me of what comes with Revoltech Ultra Magnus as a bonus and of the RID show.

    I asume it has some cartoon relevence that has passed me by.

    How well does the helmet stays on rodimus's head? Does it snap on or is it somewhat loose?

    Neither, we just put it over Rodimus head & it's quite a snug fit. :wink:
