    Just me or does Rodimus's paint colors in that look more like the cartoon than previous images? The color actually looks kinda maroon now.....though it could just be my screen b/c this thing is old and junky...

    Do we know yet if 2010 Predaking has diecast like the last reissue? I can't read the page and I don't recall learning about it elsewhere.

    MP Rodimus looks AMAZING.

    I love that shot of Hot Rod with a wide stance wielding both of his pistols!

    These images look more magenta than some of the older reddish ones we've seen. So it's a good sign he may end up Magenta.

    It wasn't confirmed I believe, but the logic of thinking he'd be anything but diecast boggles my mind because the last one was diecast and a plastic version would require new molds for those parts now made in plastic rather than diecast. So while there was no confirmation IIRC, to think otherwise would be silly.

    Awesome MP Rodi!

    Abour Predaking, in the case he's got no die-cast, I wonder if those parts are real GOLD PLASTIC or painted. If they are gold plastic, I would think it twice about buying it.

    MP Rodimus Convoy is just amazing! I want to see a better picture of RP holding up the matrix, movie scene.

    They're probably goldish with paint on top of them. Not the GPS style plastic. Probably more like the upcoming United Bumblebee and Asian Battle Ops Movie BB is.

    I am curious of what foreigners think about the release of the War for Cybertron 's figures ?

    Would they already have the import US version of Generation 's (which should be some kind of import prices for them) ? Or would they faithfully waiting for the United series ??

    I imagined if i was a Japanese, I 'd probably get waiting so impatiently since if i imagined I do like this WfC game so much...


    As of Rodimus, I imagined both guns cannot be concealed or attached with the robot mode ?
    Still trying to imagine how the vehicle modes to be transformed; it does look like the trailer has the pieces that attach to the roof and the sides below the cockpit....

    Maybe the guns can be stored in the trailer? It may be possible, but there probably isn't much room inside.

    I can't believe they didn't think to make Rodimus' crotchpiece be able to move in seperate pieces like Unicron's does, it would've looked so much nicer.


    Still a kickass fig though.

    They take the image and color of Studio OX version of Rodimus (Convoy) to make the toy. Might not exactly be what it is on TV.

    Have to admit, I'm very happy that the Hot Rod vehicle mode looks to be around Alternators size. Makes life easy when deciding who to display him with.

    Not sure if I want PredaBLING to have diecast or not, relieves the strain on the joints a lot if he's plastic. Already have the Takara reissue but can't resist the gold and metallic orange look.
