And Blitzwing. I need to recreate that scene!

 

nice job homey!!

amen to that brudder!! I would LOVE to see a Kup soon!!

 

I second this, I want a MP Blitzwing baddly.

 

Sorcery, sorcery I say! I shall need my larger scale and a duck.

 

So guys, the release is this Sat, correct?

 

Yes

 

Yes! THANK YOU, TT!  

Holy crap! I guess I'd never looked at Hot Rod's tech specs before, ever. I don't remember his stats being that high. He's like a Prime without being a Prime. Sheesh.

 

I have the reissues of Megatron and Hot Rodimus and I was rather surprised to see Hot Rod's numbers trump Megatron's

 

Come on HLJ the anticipation is getting to me. I need that maroon orange and yellow next to my Magnus. I'd happily pay more money to get an advanced copy.... not a factory reject though.

 

i think either of them could be considered accurate.

personally, i dislike the barely blue. the actual darker blue looks better. i think i prefer the actual releases blue over the clear. mostly because there's no detailed interior. if it had an accurate interior, painted accurately with seats and what not, then i think the clear would've been appropriate. but because there's no room to do something like that, i think the darker blue works out much better.





also, i'm assuming the blue looking exterior is supposed to be a reflection of the blue sky. so, i think the windshield is supposed to be clear, just looks blue because of the surroundings. so, the blue really won't bother me. but like i said, i really disliked the barely blue color, it just looked a little cheap and unrefined.

 

He he, I'm sooooo happy.  

 

bluer tint yesssss please

ok im am soooooo Stoked !! so ive been rooting for this since way early in the thread when most people thought it was gonna be lame.
makes me so happy that its garnered so much buzz and many people are really looking forward to him now !!

and with this new info, in my mind it just went from really good to nearly perfect the blue tint was really the only thing that personally irked me at all in the slightes.t totally awesome its got the touch the power :B

these are the best pics yet
and to all the haters that just dont like the transformation and chest and stuff it looks pretty cartoon accurate in these examples to me
soooo stoked cant wait thanks op awesome post spread the word !!

 

  Oh yeah that's the spirit! The latest batch of pics has blown everyone's mind. TT can do no wrong. Kobayashi and his team are absolutely killing it. Hot Rod is sending us into a frenzy and I can imagine the meltdowns when Shockwave hits.

If you're reading this Kobayashi, 'I fucking love you'.

 

I'm so excited for this to arrive now.

My first masterpiece since the original Skywarp - although i'm just really disappointed that I didn't have the funds for Ironhide - he's perfect.

 

got a shipping notification from nippon

 

Just paid for Roddy from AmiAmi. $66, shipped EMS. Looking forward to adding him to the ranks. I'm so glad that the windshield and visor were darkened. That was a nice surprise.

 

I'm glad people post about their payment requests here as after reading those posts just now I quickly knew to check my own.
Final amount for Rodimus and the UM reissue was 221.83 USD

 

Yep, got my payment request from AmiAmi as well. EMS is slightly cheaper than I thought it would be as well.

 

Status on HLJ change to discontinued...so it's actually sold out there. I hope they got enough to fulfill all orders, still got no payment notification for my preorder.

 

Same. Preordered with HLJ, just went to check to see if it was ready to ship, and... discontinued. lolwut?! Is my order cancelled? Do I need to go ahead and order from someone else?
