    i wish there was a way to ban talk of mp rodimus from protector threads and vice versa....

    they are two separate things that fill two separate needs for collections, i got both on pre-order, and i am totally excited, this thing rocks

    and hey, for once, i got the figure needed for the add-on

    Even if there is no add-on for this toy people will keep comparing toys with the name "Rodimus". Just like "Optimus Prime" and "Ultra Magnus" there are many out there who still think one version is better than the other. There is no real solution to this issue.

    I have both preordered to, but think about it this way. Beyond the titanium one, there really hasn't been much in the way of having an actual Rodimus Prime. Now, we get two options releasing around the same time, and both at premium pricing for what you get and niether are being mass released at retail, at least in the US. So, yeah, they are way different in scope and design and concept, but they are way different in scope and design and concept of the same character coming out around the same time after a major drought of said character.

    Hells yes.

    Masterpiece Roddy doesn't fit with my Classics AT ALL.

    Anybody who thinks the MP supplants this is half-blind and crazy.

    I'm going to hold off on a final decision about this add on until I see some side by side before/after pics...
    I appreciate the attention to detail, and he looks really solid, but at the same time it looks like Rodimus needs to go on a diet. It brings the term "junk in the trunk" to a whole new level. I guess in my Classics universe, Optimus is still in charge, so there really is no need for RP.

    Dohp. I misread that and assumed that you meant that you'd like to see it with a henkei figure. My mistake.

    It's talk like this that stirs up arguments. You can like one or the other but you shouldn't ridicule others for feeling the MP is better.

    I never said anything of the sort.

    You are aware what "supplant" means, right?

    I just said that the existence of MP Rodimus Prime doesn't invalidate the existence of Protector, because MP Rodimus doesn't, in the least, mingle well with the likes of City Commander, Defender, and the rest of the Classics lineup.

    For me, I'm buying this because it looks bad ass and it'll go great with my Classics. I'm getting MP Rodimus because he looks so amazing and frankly, I can't help myself.

    My only complaint with Protector is the alt mode and that's just nit picking. Besides, he will be in botmode forever I think lol. I got City Commander when it first came out. I put the armor on Magnus and I haven't taken it off since. I kinda feel ashamed that I haven't lol.

    And I'm with you Anabolik1... I can't wait to see what Scyther will look like brotha..

    Considering what this is an update to? Umm, mission accomplished?

    Yeah, the vehicle mode is all sorts of silly. But hey, that's nostalgia for you.

    I'm fully aware of the definition of supplant. Main point is again ridiculing others, not if one replaces the other. Oh, what the heck. I'm just gonna stop.
