    I'm referring to straight up G1, not Studio OX.

    ,

    Yup. I had TE01 at work to transform, brought him home to throw on my shelf, and ended up bringing him back to work to mess with more. I can't stop transforming and posing him

    Exactly. One with better looking, better functioning hands. One that is actually playable and not fragile.
    I'm looking forward to TE's next figure.

    That Rodimus Prime face looks like his Proctologist went too far and he can't shake the memory. That's...a horrifying face. Good grief, it's awful.

    I also got the reissue. No fragility at all, though I will say I put that joker in vehicle mode and left it that way. I really don’t like the robot mode, and have DX9’s Carry completing that mission. I would LOVE a legit Rodimus Prime from TE.

    THIS

    A face a bit more like this would have been better.

    Really? Early reports I read about the reissue were disappointing saying none of the problems were fixed.

    The hate-o-rade is strong here... This is a dated figure that was meant to go along with MP10 or MP1, even. The first MP Megatron was ugly and even uglier now compared to the updates. Considering TT made this to transform into Hotrod as well, I'd say they did fairly well in design during that time... except for all the QC problems.

    Yeah they need to do a V2 or just Rodimus. No gimmick. Less crap for them to do a actually good and good representation.

    A few more home runs like this and TE will shape up to be the new 2013-2017 era Fanstoys.

    I was hoping it wasn't!

    Money sent. Think I did it correctly, but let me know if there's a problem! Thanks.

    Still has that utterly gash elbow system though. If TE can pull off that look with Optimus's heft and give him super solid joints (and an ab crunch this time) and they have a winner. Make him compatible with MP09's trailer too if it helps.
