On the up-side, at least he won't suffer from cosmic rust like MP Megatron :p

I have made a guide in the repair thread. I hope it helps.

hey guys, got my rodimus from RK...the paint job on the spoiler absolutely sucks!!!
Check out the attachment!
Should I contact RK and complain?
This is stock out of the box.:mad:
Ouch. Mine had some blemishes, but much to my surprise, they rubbed off. Doesn't look to be the case with yours. Good luck if you do try to get a swap from RK. Suspect you'll have to go to PayPal dispute before you get any resolve.
Yeah, there seems to be some particularly bad Rodimus out there, So far I haven't found any big blemishes on mine (though I've yet to attach the trailer), in fact the paint job, paint aps and plastic (I prefer the matte look to the more glossy toy look) are all pretty well done in my mind.
So far I've found the toy to look pretty fantastic, my issues are as has been mentioned here already with the design, or rather the fact that he can't lock together properly in bot mode, and it doesn't seem like it would have been that hard for the designers to fix either. The groin piece sticking out at the botom in vheicle mode is a pain in the but too.
Anyway I haven't had this toy for a week so not sure waht my ultimate opion of him will be. There seem to be an awfull lot of things done right, and then perhaps an equal amount of things done wrong.
I have a problem with the spring in the foot having come unwound (stopping standing or proper transformation). I contacted RK (info @ robotkingdom.com, CC: sale @ robotkingdom.com) about it last week and no reply yet. Should I just start a PP dispute for a faulty product and see how it goes?
A few people on TFW forums have managed to fix that issue through various means if you're willing to give it a shot, seems simple enough. Have a scroll back a few pages in that link. Seems you can use tape or file the sharp edge or bend the tip of the spring to stop it from catching.
My Rodimus arrived in perfect shape. Have not put him down transformed him again and again and no issues :D
I must be lucky. :D
I can't answer that. I've never had to complain to RK about anything except them shipping the wrong product.
I remember when the re-released MP Magnus shipped and Adzma got one, which had atrocious paint applications, he complained, and like you (and everyone else with similar complaints) was ignored. He filed a dispute, and RK came rushing to the table. You're probably better off either PMing him, or finding the thread with him discussing it here for a more accurate representation.
I know Griff complained about defective Alternity Seekers, but I don't ever remember a result, so ask him too.
