Really? I know that MP Rodimus isn't the easiest toy to transform, but I don't think he's that hard. I can think of quite a few similarly or even more challenging toys to transform, such as:
* Break (and he's only a Basic!)
* Mach Kick (Deluxe!)
* Big Convoy
* Binaltech Wheeljack & Grimlock
* MP Megatron
^The last 3 are ones in my collection that I simply do not enjoy transforming and have only ever done so a few times.

Well from a vehicle mp point of view i am with him, i didn't enjoy the transformation process and left it in robot form. The hasbro version was actually better but i still didnt like it.

I am sure some people can probably transform ultra magnus three times before you are half done with Rodimus

Will wait to see videos on Hot Rod, but Shockwave is a MUST for me :eek::eek:

Am I the only one her who likes Mp 28? TBH I've seen lots of reviews to MP 9 and I don't like it. It's also cheaper then Shockwave.

I don't mind both but shockwave is the one I am looking. This is what happens when you recreate an existing character. Yes there will be interest but at this stage I would jump on ironhide and shockwave before hot rod.

It's more the issue of lining everything up as well. And the fear of hoping his ankles don't end up popping off (like how some people have it happen to them, while he's just sitting on the shelf). I've Transformed thousands of figures in my lifetime (I'm sure you've done a heck of a lot more). But he's the only one so far I'd say that scares me when I attempt it :D

I of the two mp that I need an instruction to ensure transformation is correct.
The other is Megatron.

I got use to transforming mp-09 that i didn't need instructions/instructional vid. Megatron i've only transformed twice with instructions. 1st time took like 40 minutes! 2nd took ~20.

Nothing beats a bit of chest analysis when you're supposed to be working :D
It really is a pretty good compromise, given the size they're working at and the significant difference in shape between robot chest and car hood.
