As a mom whose son has asked me to repeatedly transform his Rodimus Prime, you have saved me. Thank you!

[@arthurmorgan1007]

You have it easy.....I ended up buying him the combatacons which all combine into a bigger bot named bruticus.....big mistake

[@BCBowmer6]

Would kill for a Bruticus man.

[@MrEye-sf2kc]

@@BCBowmer6 I would become a contract killer for a menasor or an optimus maximus

[@Hiro-tf5el]

@@arthurmorgan1007 why tho

[@johnmontgomery2321]

So to become Rodimus, Hot Rod literally has to put his big boy pants on. Lol

[@Poly_Hes_Gone]

lol

[@Fenris30]

I wouldn't be surprised if the designer's did that on purpose.

[@alternative7586]

And his big boi arms

[@frankforttheorangee2produc110]

I don't get it.

[@Fenris30]

Well he does continue step up throughout the Movie, If he wasn't involved in "the Incident" he'd be much better remembered.

[@DarkdustDragon]

I like this guy specifically because his Prime robot mode is so beefy. I always felt G1 Rodimus didn't have enough visual distinction from Hot Rod, and this guy solves that.

[@Hektols]

Agree, this Rodimus actually looks like a powered version of Hot Rod instead of an upscaled one with an older face.

[@DrakeyC]

I think this is one of the most successful integrations of both Hot Rod and Rodimus into one figure in both vehicle and robot modes. Yeah it's partsforming but I'll take it over some of the other options where he looks the same in robot mode but you just extend his limbs a bit and swap out his face.

[@mrwickedweasel]

As a kids toy. I think it’s pretty cool and if I was 10 again. I’d be over the moon if I got this. I think people sometimes forget who exactly these toys are actually for and have way too high expectations. Great review Emgo and the ending was epic!

[@aldolibreri791]

mrwickedweasel If it weren’t for Hot Rod’s legs being exposed while he’s Rodimus, I would love this guy. If they made something that covered them up and locked them in place, this would be an amazing figure. And for $50, we should expect some decent engineering that lets the figure hold a pose without the arms flailing around. I get it, they’re aimed for kids, and this is an amazing kids toy. But Hasbro also knows that collectors, and lots of them, buy these too. And they like it when they can be posed. I’m not saying make every figure masterpiece quality, but something like Titans return Sixshot shouldn’t be too hard to ask for.

[@aldolibreri791]

A guy on EBay is selling clips that cover up the shoulder gaps and keep the Hot Rod legs in place for Rodimus Mode. Makes the figure so much better and turns it into a must have imo.

[@nitemite]

Id have to disagree with you on that, I think G1 Rodinmus looks better. Plus I think most of these big remakes are made for the nostalgia 35 year olds. With all the amazing remakes they have already made, this one falls flat. The average kid is going to get the $5 to $10 transformer at Walmart.

[@sweg1346]

mrwickedweasel lol I'm a kid I be lucky lol

[@joshua7529]

mrwickedweasel I think when the Masterpiece line came out, it raised everyone's expectations of the quality that should go into future toys, even if they weren't part of that line. Just a thought on my part, though.

[@rorylumley4727]

I hope we get a nemisis prime or scourge with a dark matrix

[@alternative7586]

We got one.

[@RiptidePhoenix]

Personally, I like the evolution figures. It adds more playability for the children (duh, it’s a toy), and for me, it’s kind of satisfying to see how it all comes together. I have a feeling they’re going to release a Megatron for this line, and I’m curious to see how it would turn out. Gun to tank, maybe?

[@zeroblade6599]

Riptide Phoenix if they make a megatron to galvatron transformation work I'd be really impressed

[@paradox_saber54]

Riptide Phoenix I like it as well. As for Megs, who knows? What would it be? Megatron to Galvatron? Interesting concept, no?

[@Esunhecho75]

I for this figure for my son when it was released. I found it in his toy box and I thought he had lost some of the pieces, but after watching this video I was able to put it back together.

[@jonstefanik9400]

I had the G1 Hot Rod AND Rodimus Prime. It's nice to know that there is finally a figure/(somewhat) combiner in one package.

[@rodster6campingprepper]

Hot Rod is ever so slightly off but still far better than the last couple Classics/Generations style Hotrods we've had. The vehicle modes look great. It's just Rodimus who seems a bit weird being so chunky but i can't say it bothers me. My only real issue is his shoulders in Rodimus mode are awkard for posing.

[@ryanedwards7487]

I must be the only person who likes Rodimus Prime. Then again, it was the first G1 Leader I had (Optimus was hard to find when I was first into Transformers as a 3-4 year old in 1986-1987). I want the Masterpiece Takara one, or Carry, but so much money. This one makes a nice Office Shelf Toy with my old G1 one. Right next to my Classics Hot Rod.

[@silverthorn9759]

"Don't mess it up!". Truly, words to live by.

[@Da80sGeek]

They gave Hot Rod the Cotton Hill treatment and blew his shins off in Ko-re-uh.

[@RRR-tx8rq]

Finally got a power of the primes transformer and you keep getting some hahaha congrats

[@RRR-tx8rq]

Plus my leader class wishlist is the hot rod, optimus and rodimus unicrownus

[@Hektols]

It may look weird and chunky but this is my favorite Rodimus Prime, not only you get Hot Rod but as Rodimus it actually looks like he evolved with the power of the Matrix instead of getting a bit taller and an older face, in the cartoon due to the scale issue most of the time he looked like he was still Hot Rod.

[@Alverant]

I wonder what will be on the list of Decepticon power-ups this year (apart from Evil Rodimus).

[@ghost141aj5]

I found it so funny when he put the Titans return hot rod headmaster in the matrix lol

[@KidApoc]

Color me impressed 🤯 Love both modes. Hot rod looks to fit really well,with titans return Kup and War for Cybertron Springer. Lmao,those funny bits never get old🤣

[@cybertrongaming4007]

Optimus prime looks awesome too

[@lalo198080]

Rodimus in Rodney Dangerfield voice "even in death I get no respect at all"😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@phamser1]

I can see the off color shoulders is see as shoulder armor as well carry over from hotrod not seen well in past official version that tried mixed the two as the kibble on the arms remind me of a kimono sleeves. I try see each a different version not keep try see the newest version as a "upgrade" since that what the Masterpiece lines is for. ^^; still yeah the shoulder as thighs... still good work.

[@rapidmadness9139]

Just wait I bet in a few months perfect effect is going to make a whole new hot rod figure and make this figure amazing if something.

[@phillipmarcus8416]

I see what the main problem is that's throwing off the look in both robot modes. The lower legs are too short. Its slightly less noticeable on the prime mode, but its still the biggest problem proportion wise. Its especially bad on the Hot Rod figure though

[@jamescollins3554]

i love this figure. it's much better than the kingdom toy. this one is awesome.

[@jnixa1010]

Find the shoulder gap fillers... HUGE improvement

[@moondodger5952]

A year later, I’m looking back at this figure, and I have to say, this figure isn’t as bad as when I initially saw it.

[@sirgrunt99]

Sweet ending one of the best you have done this year

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

Needs way more chrome on the exhaust pipes and on the wheels.

[@Drewbe821]

Still might have to get this. It may be weird, but it is a good weird.

[@santosoliver3870]

I like the Rodimus Prime a lot better than the stand alone Hot Rod figure itself even with the many flaws in it.

[@cruizerdave]

Looks like a figure I’ll buy ... if it ever get clearanced for $5.

[@sisirkumardas7393]

Rodimus looks like the IDW version of himself with bulky arms

[@jrb112804]

I'm starting to think Hasbro hired someone who really didn't care about design or customer bias at all. Did they even consider their customer base?

[@715basser]

The ending is epic!!!!

[@mechredd]

I've been looking for a good Rodimus/Hotrod figure for a long time but I haven't been impressed by anything to come out in the last few years.

[@Brandon-McFadden.]

17:42 i think we all know what's on the browser history of who thought of that

[@kray97]

The Prime Master gimmick is one giant wtf.

[@gregorywongsg]

HAHAHAHA, "Doooooon't messssss iiiiiiiiit uuuuuuuup!"

[@ajhill5094]

Still waiting for a rodimus to waste my money on. I like the Titans return hotrod. They should've just built a kit for that one. I do like the chunkier looking rodimus, though. Not g1 accurate, but an improvement, imho

[@duath7786]

Very cool I have starscream voyager class

[@gyrrakavian]

"It appears to be a Winnebago with wings, sir."

[@icy_hot_westcoast1773]

That is an amazing Rodimus Prime figure!

[@justcasual4214]

[@gregoryuselman4074]

Thanx 4 the review. Glad to see this before I spent money on it.

[@great159]

Titans Return Hot Rod kills this garbage ass hot rod with its fake chest and Popeye arms!😂 We still need a TRUE chug Rodimus prime.😣

[@sisirkumardas7393]

He looks like Modock in the Iron Man series

Hey emgo, which do you prefer? This rodimus prime figure or the OptimusPrime figure?

hi Emgo, in your opinion what is the best hot rod/rodimus prime toy?

[@殲滅天使レン-t3t]

yes! yes! I want this toy review!!!

[@soundmasterprime3044]

Kinda sad that these leader figures aren’t too great, thinking about what they were tryna do it was probably too ambitious but oh well.

[@Marty2978b]

How and when did you get this and Optimus? I love this fig. I do have Titans Return with the chaos head. You can't expect anything MP scale at the $49 price point and intended for kids 8+. The engineering is brilliant, yes proportions are off. We've never seen a Rodimus like this in TF history. I can't wait to get this. If you don't want yours I'll gladly pay you retail for it :)

[@PennyGraham]

ha ha hot rods growing up (as a prime now)

[@anthonylipke7754]

It's interesting it didn't knock it out of the park.

[@divahotsy2381]

Great review

[@Joeyz1231]

Idk . . . . I think he at least makes for a good display piece in Rodimus Mode. Just don't lift his arms to the side lol

[@banquetoftheleviathan1404]

oh nice so it transforms into both. i was gonna get the new one but i like this more. i dont want that dumb canon lol

[@demonizedking619]

RODAMUS PRIME SUPER MODE

[@thedriftyisaac6008]

Can you swivel the thighs on the hot rod??? If you can do that you’ll me able to use the knee hinge better for the shoulder. I mean you can move the top of the legs around I guess to do it

[@gocanttt]

Nice pick.

I am getting a power of the primes optimus prime this Tuesday

[@hunterdavis1262]

I like hot rod because he basically let me kill Prime

[@theobserver887]

Makes you wonder why you even bought this thing in the first place.

[@eventprogenitor1873]

I do not know yet... I feel these figures are rushed. The quality is down ya ya I get trying to cut down on costs but they also upped the charge price so quality should be up again and it's not...if you can not put something out decent do not put it out. They could not even be bothered to match the paint. Hasbro do you know how much I spend on stickers and 3rd party add on to fix such things.....

[@mazinkaizer0]

This emgo video wins the award for the most size comparisons 😀

[@averagejack1386]

When I first watched this, I was like "Yeah. I agree with you EmGo, this figure is weird." But when I got it, In my personal opinion, I liked this figure a lot!

[@Sarcasticron]

the vehicle mode is colored correctly it looks like how hot rod is supposed to look and in robot mode hot rods spoiler is not hidden by the shoulders and it looks like his g1 version so the hot rod mode is perfect now if they can just give us a good rodimus prime
