Mastermind Creations CALIDUS (IDW Rodimus): EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@TheACcam]

"I'm so happy this finally exists!" "Congratulations, we've achieved something!"

[@leopard_520]

The skit at the end is all the Rodimus and Magnus interaction on MTMTE in a nutshell.

[@biennialfawn5524]

IKR!

[@gialanamoon5094]

It’s like it was lifted right off the pages!!😱😂

[@itmustbelove08]

I think the bow is better. With so many transformers coming with gun followed by swords, I think the bow would look rather dynamic being displayed.

[@jimpaya8463]

My favorite thing about this is the ability to stand and stand and stand some more.

[@superpixelwarrior6893]

Today is the 31 year anniversary of the g1 1986 movie

[@Jackson-hp7rt]

REALLY!? Damn, that's old.

[@PeppermintMocha]

Ah, I was waiting for you to get this figure! I knew how much you loved IDW Rodimus' design, so I was surprised you didn't get this earlier.

[@TheVarietyMix]

Awesome looking figure. Always love your skits dude! Your humor never disappoints!

[@CadDriftarus]

Separate comment, I wanted to show my appreciation for how well done the transformation instructions are. I am watching muted and this vid is just. So? Comprehensive? I also greatly appreciate how you go out of your way to point out certain joints and tabs before and after the transformation. That Ankle joint but especially. I had no clue that I was supposed to push Roddy's lil hooves(?) back, and it honestly explained a lot lol You're also very good at describing the best way to transform a joint to avoid stress on the plastic, which is a very important detail.

[@barryallen3158]

I can't wait for you to review Turben and I hope they make an IDW Hound

[@JaceLorran]

Thanks for always doing great videos with good little tips for the transformation. Especially on the feet of this guy, because I couldn’t get everything lined up the first time I put him into vehicle mode. 👍

[@calebtomisser7707]

XD best end skit so far, completely takes a left turn from what you expect that they're arguing about

[@darrenbent7601]

Now he looks cool. I've never read the IDW comics, but it looks interesting. I love his Cybertronian alt.mode. I gather he is the "captain" of the Autobots.

[@andregutierrez6622]

Darren Bent yeah, following after optimus prime. I agree though, he does look cool.

[@CadDriftarus]

Bruh, trying to find instructions for my secondhand and discovering Emgo is doing MMC vids had me reeling I am EXCITED to watch these. I have so few of the IDW crowd that most of my "skits" and posing amount to Rung diffusing Co-captain arguments, with Wing preventing potential murder in the background. I'm planning on making that 3D printed Ratchet to go with my guys, but sadly MMC told me they had no plans on doing a Minimus or Magnus. Looks like Megatron is going to have to wrangle a crew dominated by Roddy and Drift. Poor Megan :(

[@caigemalinowski5247]

I am Iron Ma- I mean Rodimus Prime! Yeah, that's it...

Caige Malinowski I was thinking wolverine than iron man, but you do have a point

[@GabrielJCasaus]

I was expecting a Capitan Phillips esque "I'm da captain now" skit but that was good.

[@elisahenry8809]

You didnt do a g1 comparison. I was patiently waiting for a precious moment.

[@tpickup11]

All that for a slippin' slide?!?!?! LMAO!!! That's hilarious!

[@javeronh.3996]

Planet X and Mastermind seem to be doing a lot of really cool transformers. or at least they tend to stick in my head well. I wonder if the wings are like that to give the option to flip them around, or to use them as throwing weapons, or maybe they plan to have replacement wings that turn into swords. similar to Transformers Armada Starscream. or more likely they didn't realize how loose it could be. haha. great skit

[@ReligiousPrime]

This head sculpt (mostly face) alone makes me think of Knockout from Transformers Prime. But the overall robot form, in my opinion, looks like it should transform into a jet instead of a car.

actually ya didn't mention it but the spikes on his arms can detach so they become regular exhaust pipes. And didn't you say there was an accessory in robot mode or did i miss that...?

[@Shockwave-ob2tx]

You should have Carnifax holding Calidus up by his face, and saying "lightweight"...

[@dking3480]

FINNALY AN IDW MASTERPIECE OF RODIMUS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS >:D

[@sadcat377]

He starts petting it. "I just wanna pet it." Then proceeds to smack it.

[@evand9874]

has anyone noticed most transformers heads are at the back of the vehical mode?

[@rolpfeiffermuller935]

Thanks many thanks pulchcritud in your endeavors.

[@0metallix]

I've got this figure and I had the same problem with his right arm not tabbing into place. Try checking the screw that attaches his arm to his torso. Mine was actually missing, with only friction holding it in place. I stuck a small screw in there and its been fine.

[@dakodakline2170]

I'm a big fan of transformers so I give a big thanks to this channel

[@derrickwoods1595]

Where can I buy this? I wanna buy this toy!

[@michaelartoria2459]

Tfsource.com, TF-Direct.com and Bigbadtoystore.com are your best bets. I got mine from TF-Direct.com

[@adamska122reviews]

Just stroke your rod...imus. I'm so sorry I couldn't resist making that joke. You just sort of presented it, when you said you just wanted to pet it.

[@anadoll2012]

The Front of Calidus vehicle mode looks like the saber from battle force 5. like if you agree.

[@TrigunnerX3]

I'm the captain now... look at me... I'M THE CAPTAIN NOW!

[@lazerwaffle5863]

If you want to reprolable it with an autobot badge, you should put it at an angle, just for the reference

[@wingkingdom_vr2956]

Papa Emgo, have you considered getting this Rodimus figure repainted in a more theatrical coloration? I think it would look a 100 times better if it looked like a war torn, straight from hardened battle, Rodimus. Darker colors and exotic detail in the innards.

[@gamer1243229]

*YOU GOT THE TOUCH!!!* *YOU GOT THE POWER!!!!!*

[@TaliaIGhul]

If he's The Captain, Optimus is The Fleet Admiral. ;)

[@PrinceOfAstoria]

I love that Alex Milner's design!

[@kyokko998]

Anyone remember ? "You got the poowwwwer!!!~"

[@chromedragozoid]

Takara is about to release their own version of this character, a transformable figure at that. Will you be reviewing it and comparing that new one to this?

[@Alverant]

IDW Rodimus WOULD put a slip and slide in his room. (He'd probably insist Megatron play on it too.) I looked up Calidus in the dictionary; fiery, fierce, impassioned, rash, inconsiderate en.wiktionary.org/wiki/calidus Yep, I'd say that was Rodimus.

[@Darkscorponok]

Isn't this IDW Hotrod until he gets the flames ? Correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't read most of the IDW stuff

[@TheWolfboyalex]

Mine came in the post today, I love it, it has issues and quirks, but for my first 3rd party I love it.

[@TheWolfboyalex]

From what I've seen there seems to be a lot of generic factory faults that while not terrible can be annoying,some are just taking some getting used to.

[@phillipsterling9512]

Looks like a cross between Hot Rod and the new batmobile. Maybe BatRod?

[@Jeff-is7je]

"what's rodimus without his wings?" Transformers the Last Knight Hot Rod, emgo

[@arkhampsycho5948]

Geek Asaurusrex actually he had door wings like Bumblebee

[@pokeprime94]

I could of sworn there was a way to take the spiky bits out of the exhaust pipes

[@KyloGwen]

I love his robot mode so much but what.. in the world.. is that vehicle mode..?

[@Spark8604]

How did you switch the horns on cyclonus' heads? I can't get the screw on mine loose.

[@frankfurhter]

I have a strange obsession with Transformers with wheels that are on the torso or are inside a limb. Take this figure, for example. He has the back wheels embedded into the torso. Another example is TLK Voyager Optimus. He has the back wheels embedded into his lower legs. I just find hose figures fascinating.

[@denisecanup9693]

I've been waiting for this forever!!

RG1Studios Megs and Rodimus are the co-captains because Rodimus complained that he wasn't captain anymore So Optimus said he was co-captain. Sorry for the long explanation.
