    I hope I can get this fella before to much longer - I like the mech suit too - it will be a nice complement to the Optimus colour one if they ever get around to releasing that.

    As for his head ; I think his chest is a little bit narrower than some other examples of the character and that may be why it looks big.

    Hound's head was very big too, but it was an awesome figure... and cheap. But this Rodimus must drop down the price a little if they want to sell more of them. Personaly I never liked the "headmaster and targetmaster" bots, neither the personality of Rodimus (always regreting of being a leader), maybe the size and aesthetics of Papa Hot Rod fits better on my collection. I will keep on eye on the thread to check your pictures and take the correct desition.

    I've been debating ordering this guy once my next paycheck drops but wasn't sure - lots of other things coming out this month, not to mention buying presents. Then I got the ship notice from ShowZ. I guess I pre-ordered him a while back and forgot about it. Second time this has happened; I really need to keep better track of my preorders or I'm gonna end up with two of a figure.

    i got so excited over the duality of this figure that i ordered two based on description alone. i thought there will be a very clear distinction and planned to display each purchase as Hot Rod and Rodimus.

    One as Hot Rod, with the initial thought that he'd be as small as the MFT Lambro, and one as Rodimus with the thought that he would be as tall as HS Prime with some clever engineering. apart from the height, i also had the initial mindset that there would be minute design details that would differentiate Hot Rod from Rodimus such as a replacement faceplate. i pre-ordered this when it was first announced iirc

    the extra piece might end up displayed as the space winnebago though i'm tempted to make it into a Black Rodimus or do some operation on the robot to make it shorter. but, i'm not that confident with my present skillset (or lack of it) when it comes to customisation.

    Yeah they've become my preferred us retailer. They usually seem to be the fastest both to get items in stock and to ship them to me. Usually two days. I don't order legends from them, though. Legends are small enough that the only way they're worth it to me is if I can get them as cheaply as possible so I usually use ShowZ or Baba. Don't wanna pay sales tax and shipping on them.

    The shin covers are a bit distracting now for some reason but looks a bit lanky without them. Can he transform with them on?
