    Looks like it might transform, the wheel detail seems unnecessary for a statue

    At the very least it has a Matrix compartment.

    I'm thinking it won't.

    The head looks especially "off" to me: The shape and proportion of the helmet look undersized relative to the face; I cannot unsee Mega Man.

    Give me more of a Hot Rod vibe. Mainly the head I think.

    Yup to both. This does not scream to me as Rodimus Prime. Take away the title, from the angle of that pic, my first impression would be Hot Rod. Even as a Hot Rod, the head and face still looks little bit off. The chest area looks strange to me as well. Again, maybe it's the angle.

    It won't, Imaginarium Art are statue makers, and they don't even want to make articulation. it's just statue

    I\'m actually really into the sculpt, and tend to have issues w/Floro Dery designs becoming physical, so: VERY impressed!

    That said? The head looks like he had to pinch one off & got purple-nurpled as he stood up!

    His gun is so bland. It is like \"Welp we be blew our design budget on the wheels... for his gun, use a boxy Super Soaker.\"

    Very cool. My favourite moment from the '86 movie is Roddy opening the matrix.

    That's Rodimus Prime's gun. It's 2 Hot Rod rifles transformed into one. What I mean by that is its ONE rifle, and the matrix is said to have merged his weaponry. The toy it transforms into 2 rifles for Hot Rod, but I believe that's to emulate the transformation with the matrix like his growing taller/older gimmick. But in the cartoon it's just 1 rifle or 2 rifles depending on which version of him he has is/has become.

    I think this statue looks BRILLIANT! Well done imaginarium!

    Cool and all, but the head is off, and the seam across the chest is really unsightly.
