    Yeah, that was from the Rebirth episode. I thought the Magnus trailer rolls out like Prime and the Hot Rod car merging with the trailer are so funny that you don't forget those kind of episodes. Yup, completely agreed how funky the source animation can be. I'm just throwing the Hot Rod car merging with the trailer that anything is possible...just like the cartoon itself lol.

    How exciting I love a Rodimus with modular vehicle modes. Do you think it’s likely that he’ll have a matrix chamber like Optimus?

    Well, Apollux definitely called Galvatron a Leader and definitely didn't mention Rodimus' size class.

    I feel like we'd have a better handle on the possible features if we knew the size.

    Also sounds to me like Rodimus will be finished sooner than later if there's a physical prototype with finished deco and not just 3D artwork.

    I'm confident in the theory of him being the commander but we have not had any reliable leaks definitely say so

    It aint perfect, but think about this. Apollux says he can't talk about the commander or the titan in kingdom as his friend asked. We've asked him about rodimus' size class. No comment. If it was just leader class he'd just come out and say it? Theres no reason to not say. So, if you hear a horse, you assume its a horse. And he said rodimus is controversial, which a commander rodimus definitely would be. Food fo thought

    Don't make me choose! I'm not sure tbh, SS Hot Rod looks amazing but I only had a hand me down Rodimus as a child so nostalgia....

    Haven't seen chamber but I have seen a suspiciously matrixy light our darkest hour blast effect.

    No news on UM, and just not a terrible mode before combined with Winnebago trailer.

    None that I could see, but I only saw images of the figure, no accessories. Looks like a high parts count, and gives an impression of size.

    Hard to gauge without any other bots/frame of reference. I'm assuming he scales with Leader Galvatron, however what that means in this line is unclear sorry.

    Pretty much.

    Can't say for sure but I think it's likely due to the blast effect.

    Or.... Maybe that's why they're selling the repack of ER prime? - if so pretty diabolical :eek:

    Loving this talk of a matrix effects piece, I've always wanted to have Hot Rod & Rodimus displayed together just like the scene where he gains his primehood. :D

    The description for Corpsimus Prime makes much of the passing of the Matrix so to be honest I'll be very surprised if Rodimus doesn't have a Matrix chamber and presumably a Matrix with the same mold as ER Prime... though now makes me wonder if this hypothetical Earth Maximus will also have a Matrix chamber?

    ...

    And now I'm thinking of the Junkion scene and thinking Ultra Magnus should be a modulator figure so you can recreate him getting torn apart blown up by the Scourges :lol

    Weird, if Galvatron doesn't possess wings then it could imply he doesn't reference his Energon incarnation, then why else would he be Leader class? (Unless he is incredibly dense and bulky)

    It could be either the astrotrain/shockwave situation or the doubledealer setup. Another words hes eother super bulky or come with a bunch of armor/weapons and only be voyager class.

    I'm assuming he is going to be a bit taller and bulkier than Megatron and might come with accessories like a Matrix with chain and ballast effects for his cannon.

    Maybe it's both? G1 Voyager inner bot which is what Apollux has seen but with armour which homages the Energon version?

    That's... kinda exactly what I said but 5 times longer. I think Rodimus us the leader but no leaker has come out and directly said "Rodimus is Commander" like they have with Voyager Tigatron and Leader Megatron.

    That would be pretty great and id probably buy 2. 1 for “g1” shelf, the other for UT shelf.

    then id have to come up with some idea for the custom TR energon megs i did.

    @Apollux sorry if you have already answered this but have you seen the Core Optimus and Megatron figures? If so, could you describe them a bit and do they come with any weapons/accessories? Thanks for all the great info you have posted so far!

    They're decent small figures, G1 style, Prime had his rifle and Megatron has his fusion cannon and turns into a tank.

    I know. I've been saying this since the beginning. I think i was one of the first actually. Its a lot like last year, when it was obvious skylynx was the commander, but some people were pushing for other ideas. And there were some other minor contenders. Like right now phamduc said it might be magnaboss, even though apollux said itd be no beastwars. Id love to be proven wrong. I loved magnaboss in beast wars 2, but pike last year its rather obvious its rodimus

    I don't think they expected the full list of Kingdom to be released, thus isolating the intended hint. But who knows maybe he's a new Size Class.

    Y’all I think we can conclude that Rodimus is the commander. So far the only figures to come with blast effects are the battle masters, commander, and Titan. Battle masters are out, I’m gonna go ahead and say Rodimus isn’t the Titan, so that leaves commander. Case closed
