I'm going for the one with the trailer I just don't think I could own it knowing that some editions have this huge extra alt mode

 

takara, it's only half a toy, if it does not have the trailer, lol but i might get both, too. i like rodimus.

 

I'm looking to trade the Botcon Sharkticons set plus goodies for him.

I have a preorder down though.

 

I'm getting both! Ultimate version of my favorite character, how can I resist! And I've pretty much become a Rodimus completist anyway (of the good, not black versions anyway). This way I can keep my Japanese one inRodimus Prime mode and my American one as Hot Rod too! This is my holy grail toy made reality!

 

Hm. I would have voted. I like the idea of the retail version not having the trailer. That way I can get the mold with a minimum of expense and go from there. If I really like it I could pick up a spare on clearance or go for the the takara packaging. I don't care for trailers.
If they make an mp jetfire who's armor turns into a drone jet I would need that on sight but I can live a full life without a Winnebago.

 

I normally buy the more expensive Takara version, then get mad when the U.S. version is released cheaper. This one is tough, though, because the trailer is a really nice bonus. I'll probably still end up waiting for the U.S. release this time, though. For $100 difference at least (I'm guessing), I can live w/o the trailer.

 

Neither. Alt mode means alot, and it really doesn't appeal to me. Maybe I just like "boxy" transformers. Also, the visible folded up windows in the torso is somewhat inexcusable for me to spend $200 on - same case with MP Megs' legs. Sorry, Generations and FansProject gets the financial nod.

 

I guess I didn't see this in time to vote. I really don't have a clear answer right now. If the Hasbro version looks okay in vehicle mode without the trailer I can see myself going with the cheaper version. The Takara version is out of my league in the finance department.

 

AGAIN, MP RODIMUS WITHOUT THE TRAILER IS JUST THE HOT ROD ALT MODE!

sheesh, even in this stage of the thread people are still not seeing that

 

But it can still be either Hot Rod or Rodimus Prime in robot mode. And some of us don't give a flying fig about the Space Winnebago.

 

I agree 100%. The primary mode is more important than the alternate in this case. For many either we accept the hasbro version or we wil not have this TF at all.

 

TakaraTomy's version because its the "completed" version but I can understand why fans passing it up due to cost.
