I got a Kiss Player Rodimus for around $60 and seeing that the market price has shot through the roof I am wondering if it's prudent to sell it and get alterator Rodimus being that it's much cheaper. But KS Rodimus got that cool fishing rod that Alt Rod doesn't have. Which one's better in your opinion?
Personally, I prefer Alt Rodimus, but I prefer the more show-style paint aps over the stripes. Of course, the loss of the fishing rod sucks, but if you want it for the pipes on his arms, you can do this mod instead..http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=149857&highlight=alternator+rodimus
I don't have either, but if I could have one, it'd be KISS Hot Rod. I know they're not as G1 accurate as the flames, but I like the stripes much better - the flames look like crap in alt mode IMO. Also, the fishing rod/exhaust lasers are nice. If you need the money, trade down, but otherwise, I'd stick with what you've got.
Ideally, I'd say get both because that's what I did. But if I had to choose one, I'd pick the Kissplay one. I like the paint scheme better with the realistic white racing stripes. Also the fishing rod is a must have. ALT Hot Rod is nice but the gold flames on the car just seem a tad too tacky. It also doesn't really go well with the gold racing stripes on the sides of the car. I think I would've liked it more if they did flames on the sides as well instead of stripes.
Keep the KP Rodimus unless you need the cash. The flames on the Alt Rod maybe more Rodimus like but I think the whole of the KP Rod is more aesthetically pleasing.
