    The proportions seem noticeably different. I think it may reuse parts, but he’s beefed up considerably. The chest and fin seems larger and is differently shaped. The shoulders look the same but the lower arms look larger with the bigger pipes. The legs also look notably beefier but that might just be the angle. Vehicle mode I’m noticing the proportions are radically different. The windshield is larger and thus pushed forward, and the rear seems considerably more substantial in width and perhaps longer, too. I think what is happening is that they’re reusing the core but enlarging the legs, fin, and windshield, and then smudging the bot mode to work with it. Hopefully this means he is indeed taller, but it only needs to be by about an inch. The only parts that look unchanged are the shoulders and maybe the legs.

    Image leaks are always a double edged sword. They can be great as we see what it does look like, albeit abit or very messy in some cases. But they can also be awful due to that reason in which people will think it is something else entirely to the finished or revealed figure, for example when kingdom warpath was leaked i thought it was just a simple generations retool, but when it came out it was completely different. Basically what I'm getting at is that we should have discussions about the leaked Image, but not say damning stuff of what it is/isn't, as we don't have know how it fully looks like or even have a good photo and this thread is proof of it.

    I think that’s specifically for the cartoon cuz of shenanigans with Saban. I think the toys are useable.
    not totally sure

    Actually really digging this take on Rodimus.

    That said, much rather this had been TM2 Megs.

    I do wonder if, and I mean a huge IF they might do remakes of prime's trailer after this if it does go well. Probably not though

    It'll come. Once the Kingdom release schedule leaked it was clear we were only covering S1.

    I'm actually glad they're not trying to cram all of BW in to one year. Makes it more likely the molds will be diverse and we could get more than show characters.

    If they do a Commander Prime, odds are pretty good it'd be PMOP before it'd be another go at G1.

    That's only more proof that HasTak is taking us for suckas then. I skipped ER Optimus anyway, so there's damn sure no excuse for paying $80 for Rodimus regardless how good the whole thing looks. But if they give this new Rodimus the Netflix trailer-less treatment for just $29.99 later on then count me in for that version.

    "Hasbro didn't charge $80 for ER Prime because they think we're suckers." is quite the backwards take.

    But go off, bro.

    Why does so much of this fandom have to say "This isn't for me" by exclaiming "The rest of you are suckers!"

    Man, I have been waiting years for a good (not stupid giant 3p) TM2 Megatron. Fingers crossed he’s a contender for the next trilogy.

    I’m just amazed at the budgetary insight of these fans who have never been involved in bringing a toy to market.

    If he’s a glorified Voyager, no way in hell am I getting him, ESPECIALLY when BBTS still has POTP Rodimus in stock for $25 less
