I’ll have to floor polish everything also. Love the result though.



The fillers for the shoulders have molded in missiles and 5mm handles. Did not expect that kind of functionality.



The thighs being squared now is a bit weird, and the fillers don’t really have an elegant way to store in vehicle mode(s). I suppose that is a fault of the base figure not having enough ports.

 

That looks good. Just wanna ask. In rodimus prime robot mode, without using the new red parts on the shoulders, how far the arms can go out and up side of the figure? Can the figure do a "T" pose?

 

And I finally ordered POTP Rodimus just to go with this upgrade set. I'm only really interested in the combined mode (though I'm hoping Hastak wil give us a new CHUG Rodimus Prime with a proper battle platform/trailer sometime in the future (with a more accurate G1 chest)) since I want it to represent this version of the character.



I'll be calling him 'Duke Fire' after the Brave character the concept eventually turned into.

 

Unfortunately, he can't go straight out because his shoulders hit the sides of his head, as well as the top of the backpack. The shoulder fillers also barely take any range away, in the pic below I left the red part on his right arm and there's barely any difference.

 

Ah... I see.
Thanks for the picture

 

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I just wanted to give a heads up:

This evening I got my PotP Rodimus Prime out of storage to play around with. I had the shockwave labs thigh upgrades on him, which I think I bought on eBay a year or 2 ago. The black joint parts were stuck fast for some reason and when I tried to wiggle them free, the black joints inside completely shattered on both thighs. I\'m not completely sure why they shattered, but looking at the shards I can tell the plastic quality is kind of poor. Since it was ebay and I\'m uncertain, there\'s a chance they could be bootlegs(heh). Or just poor quality plastic that degraded quickly.

anyway, if you own these just be aware they may become brittle, or stuck, or both. I’ll be checking my Rodimus Unicronus later on as well…

If anybody is curious, I\'m hatching a plan to Frankenstein some parts to salvage the thigh/shoulder joint concept. Open to suggestions tho

Too late now, we got the Commander figure.

 

Never too late if you're poor or on a budget. Like me.
