    I was on the fence about getting this guy. But between the still outstanding QC issues and very high likelihood of a V2 I'll pass.

    If an already great figure like Bumblebee is going to get a V2 then you would expect a flawed figure of similar popularity and importance will get one too eventually.

    Yup, finally in my POL yesterday. Had them ship it straight away. Should get him in just a few more days! Probably about the same time I should get Wheeljack+ from AJ, so hopefully it'll be double the MP fun next week!

    I just ordered mine and looking forward to getting him. I'm glad I'll have a version that can hold his gun :)

    Does anyone who bought the latest run of this guy have the matrix that opens? Mine doesn't so I was just wondering if it was a running change or what.

    I look forward to reading reviews. I have an original one flawed but unbroken so far. I havem't touched it in years.

    You mean the matrix came with US release?

    ...only MP-01/04 featured an articulated/opening matrix accessory: MP-09’s has always been a much-smaller static piece...

    I had no issues with mine, except he came with no left thumb. He is rather fiddily and plastic seems thin, but it is flexible and not brittle. Hopefully I can get a replacement thumb from TCP and all will be well.

    He looks tremendous though he is a placeholder in case someone makes a standalone Rodimus Prime G1 masterpiece. I hate how they tried to cram in the Hot Rod version.

    does anyone make replacement hands for this guy? Always thought they were a bit wonky.

    Did they also fix the clearance issue with the spoiler fitting into the trailer in Rodimus' vehicle mode? I remember mine was really tight and the paint was rubbing off.

    Great looking, albeit a crappy mold. Still, best Rodimus money can buy for now.


    But there's no way in hell TT isn't doing a V2 of this guy. Absolutely no way.

    This seems correct. V2 Rodimus Prime fits perfectly into the current conception of the MP-line. He's easy to make cartoon accurate and can be made incredibly poseable due to his simple transformation (even if they feel the need to give him a faux chest/hood). There are a number of options for accessories, and there's at least one repaint option. I'm sure we'll see it sooner or later
