Rodimus & Cyclonus: which to keep?

I would keep the Classics one, it's color is much more vintage toy accurate and although the RTS one is brighter, I wouldn't call it more accurate to the cartoon.

I own a Reprolabelled Classics Hotrod and a Henkei Hot Rodimus. Since the Henkei one looks more 'majestic' due to the chrome, I upgraded him with the Protector armor with the Side Arm chrome spoiler extensions.

Dude, if I ever put Transformer toys on my work desk I'd probably end up playing with them heaps and not get my work done! :p

BiS Rodimus would be 95% more awesome with clear windshield.

keep em' all! you can never have too many transformers

I put my RtS Cyclonus with my animated today and apart from being a bit 'squarer' then the rounded animateds the paint job lets him fit in well.
Jus a thought

Keep both Rodimus. Worse case scenario you own 2. Maybe i'll buy you a protector armour for your birthday.

I think Classics Rodimus looks much better than RtS Rodimus in vehicle mode. Aside from the clear windshield, it also has flames on the sides which is more G1 accurate. RtS Rodimus certainly looks quite 'cartoony' which, to me, works in robot mode, but looks tacky in vehicle mode.

Nah, all the toys on my Animated shelves are strictly Animated toys only. RtS falls under "Classicsverse" for me, so they'll have to be displayed on my Classicsverse shelves. I don't like to 'repurpose' toys for display purposes... although I will repurpose them for toy play. ;) So I next time I get the chance, I'll throw RtS Cyclonus into a play campaign with Animated (get him up against Animated Rodimus!). :)
