    Yes sir. You'd have to sand down the neck balljoint tho' on Kingdom Rodders. The neck itself fits but the ball is a bit too big.

    That head isn't really babyfaced, especially when compared to 86 Hot Rod.

    To me, he looks suitably mature but not ancient. And it's not glued, the head is connected together by screw only.

    I just got Rodimus from the mail, not sure if these paint drops are normal but sure feels like a premium figure and sturdier than ER Prime.

    I do like the potp head just a little bit better but I don't like the idea of sanding the neck ball on rodimus in case I were to put the kingdom head back on. I suppose it would be possible to grind a ball shaped hole in potp hot rod's head to make it fit the neck ball correct?

    I wanted to do that but I didn't want to deal with the eyes. To make a socket in Potp, you'd end up nailing the plastic that holds the eyes in place.

    I was worried myself about not being able to put the Kingdom head back on but I figured if I ever did want to put it back on, I could put some Miliput in the KRod socket to make it smaller.

    Hmm, that makes sense, thanks for the pics. I hadn't seen the inside of the potp head so I didn't think about the eyes.

    MP10v is quite a bit bigger than KRod.

    Seige and ER Prime are roughly the same height, and KRod is pretty much eye to eye with ER. I love my KRod and KGalvatron but KGalvatron would've been perfect for the old scale my CHUG collection used to be, where Op, Megs, Shockwave etc would've been as big as MP10V.

    You can detach it at the black hinge pieces and leave it as a partsforming bit if you're concerned.

    It's the lower red plastic of the spoiler/canopy piece right near the black hinge.
    On the opposite side you can see slight stressing between the vents and just under the orange part of the spoiler.

    I already was having regrets about buying this because of its $85 price tag and to me its not worth that price but this might be the final nail in the coffin to return this guy

    What do you mean no?! Huffer, you did it for Optimus.

    Yeah. And how did that work out last time you tried doing something for him?
