Beastbot X:
Strika gun beat you.
Fosterlager:
I didn't know Apocalypse had a sister.
Moroni Prime:
gonna take a little getting used to the overexaggerated 'flame' effect on Rod's helmet. I know it's always been there since G1, just never THAT noticable. Everything looks great so far, can't wait to get the issue.
TinManA.H.:
THAT will be an excellent Rodimus figure. He also looks like he might be a decent Hero/ Leader of his team.
I'm really digging that there's a bunch of "Primes"
Also thrilled if the rumor ends up true that Megs and Galvatron are seperate characters!
Ravenxl7:
Rodimus looks good. I'm actually kinda hoping he gets a toy at some point.
Thundercrackah:
Never thought I'd see the day where I thought a Rodimus looked awesome.
Tekkaman Blade:
Dos the issue say when we get the new episodes?
General Magnus:
Strika scares me. Lugnut´s abusive sister or girfriend?
Takara_destron:
Can't wait to see those two in action.
samtastic:
Looks great!!! Hope Arcee is in this season too!!!
shocky the spy:
I like rodimus, but not strika because i hate beast machines!
General Tekno:
Myself, I REALLY hope we get spoiled with a Strika toy.
Rodimus would be cool, but I kinda want Strika more. Then an Obsidian down the road to pair up with her.
TILALLR1:
Is Strika suppose to be based off of Lord Straxus from the G1 Marvel Comics?

Nope - Strika's based off the six-wheeled tank from Beast Machines.
Pretty much looks just like the original.
samtastic:
Loving that the BGs are in space! They look great. Hope there is lotsa space battle action! It could be epic! Highest hopes for season 3.
Third time's the charm, they say....

I doubt anyone has received their issue yet. Although we get a preview next week.
puppylove:
omg, roddy is so freaking awesome!!!
Silent_Magnus:
I'm really curious to see what this new feature with Derrick Wyatt and Adam Middleton is going to be.
A behind the scenes of animated with a few season 3 tidbits?
Ravage:
If anyone was ever curious what Bea Arthur would look like as a Tranformer, there ya go.

Dittos here. Though Shadow Blade Megatron will be my Animated Obsidian if they don't.
AniProwl:
I hope we more season 3 info the next few weeks. Only December, January, and Feburary to go til Season 3 comes!
I bet Hasbro will use the images on the cover for the two's respective boxarts.
Nerroth:
Rodimus looks pretty cool as an
Archer... i mean, an archer!
shroobmaster:
Hah, I wonder if the TFA crew even knows that your arche...anime... guy exists!

Well considering Derrick wyatt is a massive anime fan....I'd say maybe.
But he looks far more like Hawk Eye(
Hawkeye (comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)) Then archer.

Looks like its designed to look like Hawkeye's mask not flames.
Brave Magnus:
Strika has earings

Ok, i admit is, Rodimus looks really cool.
dark69:

THIS
Chaos Prime:
Oh I can't wait to see Rody in action.
If they make a figure of him he's better be at least a Voyager!
shroobmaster:
Rodimus? A Voyager? That skinny thing?
Oh now you're just dreaming far too high! Need some cannonballs to strap on your shoes?
SmokescreenGT:
Rodimus looks awesome! I hope he's a total badass unlike his G1 incarnation. The bow and arrows give me hope.

Now now like running over Insecticons, blowing a robo squids eye out and cutting off it's tenticles, breaking the entire bridge work of a Sharkticon, flying a space suit through Unicron's eye, fighting Galvatron single handely, busting OUT of Unicron's other eye.... I can go on and on. Rodimus has ALWAYS been bad ass.

You'll note that nearly all of those were things
Hot Rod did. Important distinction.

As mentioned in the wiki, it's still yet to be confirmed the name of the character. Currently Hasbro has no choice but use Rodimus over the course of all incarnations with adding Prime only to seperate the leader based one. If this one is simply called "Rodimus", then he is Hot Rod.
Nachtsider:
Rodimus is kewl. I also want me a Strika toy, and hope they do a Bulkhead/Lugnut/Strika love triangle.
Rumble02:
This makes me giddy

There is actually some interesting parallelism with him and Archer and Hot Rod.
Triggerhappy:
I imagine that bow forms part of his spoiler, or at least is stored/used somehow in vehicle mode
Torque:
bow should be his bumper
protostar8:
Wow, Rodimus is awesome! He has that bad-ass archer look to him. Kinda makes me wonder if the arrows have different effects???
Kinda hope they tone the purple down to a maroon like the original. Don't really think purple suits him but maroon is great!
Sage o' G-fruit:
(starts praying to god) please please let Rodimus not be a jerk.
i'd buy that rodimus figure. looks AWESOME!

Even if he was a jerk he'd just hide in shame from Sentinel's jerk level.
Railguard:
That looks cool, but I'm still not joining.
