    Cool. MFT sure is coming into its own, isn't it? I genuinely enjoy their products, probably more satisfyingly than HasTak's because it's not riddled with pointless gimmicks.

    I dig their products quite a bit. Rodimus has been the only figure I wasn't 100% thrilled with, but a lot of that has to do with my dislike for the character, himself.

    Most of my Legends collection is made up of MFT or some shell of theirs.

    I know what you mean. I'll probably put him up for B/S/T, once this new guy arrives.

    Yeah, I have no idea where this "notorious" is coming from. 15 years of orders and I've been shorted 3-4 times. And one of those was a figure from a literal fraudster that traveled the convention circuit taking preorders for figures that were never manufactured (seriously, the story Geoff Beckett and Shocker Toys is quite a read).

    Anyway...I ordered Astrotrain with ShowZ. BBTS's selection of legends class toys has always been too scattershot to rely on as a sole source. If they'd put up a final price for Hauler, I'd like to order that too.

    Interesting, I was really interested in getting that rodimus because I wanted a hotrod. Can someone tell me what was wrong or lackluster with this mft rodimus. Thanks in advance

    As I mentioned above, a lot of my disappointment comes from not liking the character very much. And most of my other gripes really boil down to personal preference and opinion. He's a bit too tall for me and his face sculpt is a bit too stern. He takes a bit of fiddling to find a really stable, "neutral" stance (there is a fix for this in his figure-specific thread that I just haven't felt like applying). His trailer and his Targetmaster buddy are both great and, if you're a fan of Rodimus, I'm sure you wouldn't be as finicky.

    All that said, if you're still interested, I know where you could get a good deal on him. ;)

    Thanks for the clarification
    It is a shame because the official pictures was really nice.
    As I ve said I just wanted him for a hotrod in my legend collection.
    Since a "real" hotrod is coming I am not that interested anymore lol.
    Thanks anyway

    Yeah, he makes a good Rodimus Prime. Not really a good Hot Rod.

    I’ll be interested to see how this one turns out - people seemed/seem not to be keen on the Rodimus one (I remember ankle articulation/lack of stability being one complaint), hopefully this is improved and then can stand in as a legends Rodimus for me :)

    This Rodimus doesn't stand up so well, but I may like him slightly more than the Weirdwolf Headmaster but less than hardhead.
    His issue with the ankles might be less of a bother than the small problems some of the headmasters have with "tabbing".

    His mech suit and Targetmaster are very nice though. He goes nicely enough as a Rodimus with Springer, Blaster and Kup - bit big for MFT's Kup to us as a Hot Rod though. He might be a "Tiny bit" expensive - but I guess you are paying extra for the larger box and the Trailer. He's probably better value than the Pride of China sub though. (which I would like to buy when it's a little cheaper). If you compare it to something like the overscale Scourge or Galvatron it's a nicer piece i'd say. It's just a shame he doesn't stand so well.

    A Chengdu J-20, China's answer to the F-22. It's an actual plane. Presumably, this will transform as well.

    The weapon loadout underwing does look rather "guns for Mechs" doesn't it?

    I think it’s going to be like that submarine mech, which also had the Pride of China tag line IIRC

    Considering it stores its weapons internally, yeah. It's totally going to transform. I just hope that (A) it looks cool and (B) can fit a pilot in the cockpit. Bonus points if it winds up looking like the PLA Mecha Force from the IDW comics.
