MMC Reformatted R27 Calidus - Vangelus Review 391

[@NavW]

"..you just gotta work the hips a bit.." XD Rodimus's personality is now influencing your review!

[@PjMayDraws]

Really enjoyed this review, August 18 is my birthday and I had to attend a funeral, your reviews provide a nice escape for me. Thanks Vangelus

[@fluff404]

Friend says Hot Rod is the best and smartest transformers character *shows him megatron vs Optimus in the 1986 movie* Me: Fuck off.

[@UnChannelDuVulpineX]

Hello Vangelus. You mentioned that you weren't a huge fan of the triple spiky exhausts. Well, the spiky bits come off, leaving normal space car exhausts! There are two lines in each exhaust, the spike comes off at the line closest to the pointy bit. It feels as if they don't come off, but they definitely do.

[@Uncommon_Rider]

holy shit really? I was considering this guy but the spked pipes were my only complaint

[@UnChannelDuVulpineX]

@@Uncommon_Rider Absolutely. Looks better without them.

[@kira-dk2mx]

I'm pretty sure Rodimus stole that bow from Atomizer.

[@MotivationalWorld725]

You know that rodimus from animated had a bow

[@nightlypiano41]

@@MotivationalWorld725 it's most likely a joke

[@nightlypiano41]

No, no, no. He "Confiscated" it.

James MacDermott And that's another one to ad to my hit list

[@Rhinoplaysmc]

G1 rodimus is utter shit mtmte rodimus is actually likable

[@ihatemegatron216]

Perci Constance I can understand why someone would like g1 hot rod. I've always had a problem with the robot mode.

[@RodimusMinor1987]

RytimusPrimeReviews G1 Rodimus was a victim of bad Writing

[@RodimusMinor1987]

James, I love Rodimus too

[@Pikminer-5087]

Everything must be shaped like my head.

[@musicfighter282]

I prefer the pronunciation "Muhtumtee"

Matt Laub thew reference? ☺

Review the Mastermind Creations R24 Turben (Whirl).

[@miaouew]

I love your scripts

[@jacobpatch199]

This is a great video Vangelus!!!!!!!!

[@PlasticonStudios]

Loving that alt mode!!!

[@faosparkNeo]

Probably the most handsome rodimus face sculp

[@MrDoctorVK]

Heh, I thought that you would have Takara TF Cloud Rodimus. XD

[@darfjono]

oh yeah i recognize that old vangelus camera style just needed some hitchcock swipage

[@QueenStodge]

I feel that we've achieved something.

[@Random42]

Vangelus, any word on possible repaints? The new IDW color scheme would be amazing and it could fit on a shattered glass shelf perfectly. Fingers crossed.

[@Vangelus]

+ID10T -42 IDW Lost Light colours were the TFcon exclusive & Shattered Glass colours seem to be confirmed

[@degenerateweeb7871]

Cool

[@SixArmedSweater]

ID10T -42 They just revealed another repaint as Cybertron Override.

[@shadowscribe]

Wasn't one of his reds going to be pinker in hue?

[@Magikknight76]

Great review brother!!! Who was the other Rodimus looking character you posed him next to towards the end of the video?

[@Vangelus]

TF Cloud Rodimus! limited repaint of generations springer

[@Magikknight76]

Vangelus Oh ok, thanks brother. Its an amazing looking figure.

[@KilosFoxo]

if the collar blocks light to the face one could say his face lost light

[@degenerateweeb7871]

Where can you find this guy cheapest?

[@Transfixed]

I LOVE this figure. Like too much.

[@AdAce21]

My biggest gripe with him is the paint on his waist and thigh sections. I wish they would've went with the color that's on the figure on the box!!!!!! Anyway, great figure, he just needs more contrast.

[@darkwind9000]

Looks Rad!!

[@fatkidonthemall4085]

If i wanted to make this look more like the comics i would panel line it (or just paint it)

[@t-kozy39]

Me me accomplished boy

[@bcgilbert5]

Cool bro

[@phollen16]

I like this figure but I can't help but think that they should have made new hip pieces for him then taking existing molds and slapping some paint on them. His hips and paint just kill this figure for me so I got the purple one instead, so much nicer.

[@notsoalex]

Am I the only one who thinks the robot mode looks to G1 Masterpiece looking, or powerful?

[@fduranthesee]

REVIEW ANIMATED HOT ROD

[@pixelprime5908]

PrimalTheEmperor (primal9000) I agree

[@eramferguson3830]

Its idw's Hot Rod not Rodimus.

[@Rakatan384]

Eram Ferguson It's Rodimus. He never went by Hot Rod in this body.

[@muisverriet]

He's called Rodimus in the comics.

[@CardboardBots]

I likes me some purple bots.

[@wewyllenium]

Tamiya :D

[@Levitz9]

It really feels like there will never be "perfect" Rodimus figure. Classics Rodimus is hard to find, Battle in Space Rodimus is ugly as sin, Animated Rodimus has great engineering but its joints loosen over time (at least on mine), and it's an Animated toy which might disgust some (not me). Titans Return Rodimus has some wonky proportions, too (arms to big, head looks too small).

[@RodimusMinor1987]

Vangelus, there aren't enough hours in the day, just kidding. Calidus is definitely in my top 3 MMC figures I own, I don't have Kultor. so it's Spartan Turban Calidus

[@player3productions502]

how is he a bastard?

[@TheACcam]

They should have ditched the bow (an accessory that isn't for IDW Rodimus at all), and instead made an alternate set of arm cannons.

[@cannonfodder4000]

Considering his aesthetic isn't like IDW Rodimus either, I don't think accuracy was a big priority for them (You can blame Casy Sark for that). I'd just wait for the other third party Rodimus

[@TheACcam]

Actually, it's nearly dead on for Milne's Rodimus concept art. It's just that most artists, including Milne, don't draw him that way for the vast majority of the book.

[@cannonfodder4000]

I don't see it unfortunately. At first glance comparing it to the art, I can tell the MMC's shoulders, thighs and wings are the wrong shape. His chest lacks definition and his feet are too small Some of these like the chest are for transformation, but the wings have no excuse being the wrong shape

[@muisverriet]

cannonfodder4000 It still needs to transform into a good looking vehicle and look proportionate.

[@TheACcam]

Jarmo Verriet It compares to the source material pretty well without the bow attachment.

[@kyojuro4607]

*SWIVEL HERE*

[@Draconicus702]

hasn't Jobby himself asked his fans to leave the Swivels in the family?....

[@SeanCrosser]

The collar blocking his face making him look all dour, almost like you gotta find the LOST LIGHT again, ha haaa......
