Power of the Primes Rodimus Prime UPGRADE KIT

[@msmith-vh6pn]

This upgraded Rodimus Prime looks like he can pick up and throw Galvatron even further than he did in the movie! Amazing that just a couple of upgrades have made him look even bigger!

[@chiliesauce8381]

Yessss👍😎. The shoulders have been fixed. Now he looks prime.

[@MichaelMercy]

Fan-made is top-grade.

[@farminglittlepeople9623]

The folks that design this kind of stuff are pure genius!👍. Amazing how they all fit so perfectly and look great! Congrats Mike😁👍

[@MichaelMercy]

Pretty sturdy too! I've installed that shoulder piece a bunch of times and it doesn't feel like it's going to crack. Just the perfect amount of flex to it.

[@farminglittlepeople9623]

@@MichaelMercy Awesome! Congrats 👍

[@KazamaFury]

Hot Rod/Rodimus is one of my favorite characters. This is my third of 3 in my collection of him, I have currently four different Optimus Primes including PotP. I ordered this kit and can’t wait to add it on

[@tongpoh1651]

Thanks Michael! this is an awesome find!! I have just bought the kit!! Thanks.

[@agnethaladuff8559]

[@stevenhamilton5427]

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you, Steven. Take care!

[@omarkho4284]

The upgrade kit actually looks really good on him especially the chest piece.

[@chadhumphries1445]

You've got the touch , you've got the powerrrrrr

[@GOWONSKIE]

the upgrade is just wow

[@excitingmeat2159]

I'm so glad it covers the fists

[@ronx.vfx1]

Michael I love your vids

[@MCDJACDC]

A much needed upgrade! Thanks for sharing

[@OldManTheseDays]

Wow, that really looks a lot better. Especially the shoulders and waist.

[@bobahicks]

The upgrades are worth it. He's even more beefy now 👍

[@MrChiron12]

Crazy what a few parts can do to these toys to make theme even better

[@ValkyrieMagnus]

Great video! These issues really bothered me about this figure but thanks to you I bought the upgrade parts! Thanks Michael!

[@heinzaut]

very nice upgrade, i get it for rodimus unicronus.

[@philmartinez1872]

Very cool I may get this. Thank you

[@lexlewis550]

He looks prefect 😎

[@Bobsheaux]

I don't suppose these pieces can be inconspicuously stored anywhere in vehicle mode?

[@MichaelMercy]

Don't think so. You'll need to use subspace.

[@171QA]

Very cool.

[@sloptimus_prime1268]

Just a small detail can make anything look better

[@EltonPCorrea]

I’ve not been able to install those black things in his feet

[@ArionRDAW]

I had considered getting this upgrade kit until the Kingdom Rodimus Prime was revealed. Now my PoTP bot stays in the space Winnebago mode which does look better than that newer figure. There is another upgrade kit for this mold that gives him articulated fingers and dual pistols called "Shockwave's Lab SL-34/36". The dual blasters are nice weapons for the Hot Rod component itself. However the hands on that kit seems overkill, the fingers are articulated to the point that they feel too weak to hold on to weapons.

[@tim92019]

This upgraded Rodimus Prime looks more Badass

[@Ravenprime7]

Very good video and thank you for showing how to make one of my characters a better figure. Do you know if the maker of the add on kit also did a version for the Rodimus Unicronus?

[@MichaelMercy]

Yup! Black and grey version is also available.

[@jmanbrindle3356]

Where can I get that power master gun?

[@PaulMcGillTV]

Where did you buy that cybertronian platform?

[@MichaelMercy]

It's a Toyworld base.

[@chrisbarnes4222]

He definitely looks way better

[@CIE504]

Question: Who made the gun?

[@SABERTUBE08]

So how do you put on the black pieces on the feet

[@MichaelMercy]

Carefully.

[@tomhermans1304]

can these parts be stored in its vehicle mode?

[@MichaelMercy]

Not sure. The auctions don't show him in vehicle mode with them so I'd guess not.

[@paulsnickles2420]

👍

[@coryholden666]

That shoulder piece kinda makes his shoulders look a little bit too high and not much of a neck. It doesn't look horrible or anything, just my opinion.

[@XNerinoX]

God bless people ho does this upgrades kits LOL

[@muisverriet]

This upgrade feels totally useless now with Kingdom Rodimus being a thing. That one is so much better.

[@GibDozer1]

I could see it if you're using this Rodimus on an MP shelf. Otherwise I agree pretty redundant considering how good Kingdom Roddy turned out.

[@TF80s]

I'm not sure the vehicle mode of Kingdom Roddy is the best tbh.

[@muisverriet]

@@TF80s I think it's much better than this one. The kingdom one doesn't have terrible stickers that peel off when you play with the toy.

[@GibDozer1]

@@TF80s I can concede the alt mode is slightly better than Kingdom. I actually really enjoy the attack sled in bot mode though. The old FP hit both(alt and sled)slightly better than either figure, but Kingdom core bot completely demolishes them both. I consider both FP and TR obsolete as a Mainline Rodimus Prime. That's not to say everyone needs to feel that way, just my opinion.

[@lobotomusprime1443]

Because as collectors, we still keep and collect all variations of a character new AND old. I've never understood the "Out With The Old- In With The New" Mentality of collecting. 🤷🤦 Upgrading an older figure of a character is still 100% worth it, as well as purchasing the newer version of that character; and so on and so forth... 👌 😉

[@qxillanote9952]

Yo

[@SkunkLifeMedia]

But why when there is a free upgrade kit known as the trash can for this figure?

[@gabhranseitheach8640]

Anyone know if the STLs are available somewhere?

[@ronx.vfx1]

First like

[@matthewbloom3869]

polishing a turd lol ;)
