Its a nice looking little Rodimus. The only let-downs for me are that the spoiler/axe should really attach to his back properly to give him the 'Rodimus Shoulder Fins', he looks a tad bland in bot mode and the alt-mode should have an Autobot sticker in the centre of the hood flame decal. Otherwise a good figure. Not sure I'll ever bother to stick him onto a combiners chest unless I'm bored though.

Pretty neat figure for a Legends and the mold works well for Rodimus. Only complaint is the completely fraudulent box art :p

how is that attached to his back? I like the micromaster homage

how is that attached to his back?

Personally I used a kiln to make the plastic warm and malleable and then attached a makeshift loop harness with a soldering iron

But I'd recommend bluetac as the easier option ;)

I bought this but unconvinced I should keep it
