Sweet :D

His bot mode looking good even if the trailer transformation is more predictable than I would have liked.

I like it but it does seem like a rehashed design from G1 like MP Grimlock.

Now, I seriously doubt that the robot mode is as large as MP1 or even MP Starscream otherwise the whole set including the trailer would be gigantic. I know that MP4 has a very large trailer but that was then and recently Takara-Tomy seems to prefer smaller sizes for high end toys.

I suspect that in robot mode, Rodimus would just be a tall Voyager or a short Ultra. I hope I am wrong otherwise he would probably fit better with Classics than MP :)

Well if you want a G1 homage it is going to be simplistic and similar to the original as there is only so many things you can do with a rectangular box. I thought the idea of these MP's was to take the original expand and improve on it? I like it and would be surprised if it isn't close to the same size as MP-01 Prime;):)

Holy crap that's awesome, and a legitimate Transformer too.

If it ends up the same size as MP-01 or even MP Starscream/Grimlock that would fantastic!

If his size turns out to be scaled better with Classics, I think that I would prefer this than the Protector set (sorry Kyle :( ). But if it is the same size as Grimlock or MP Starscream then it will be within scale with MPs and displayed among them while I get the Protector set for Classics :)

would be totally awesome if it was as big as MP1 and came with a lot more diecast parts!!!

but considering how things have turned out lately, i wont hold my breath.

Lokking good! Hard to judge the size but it'll probably scale well with Grimlock.

It's now available for preorder @ BBTS: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...38&mode=retail

Interesting. If Big Bad Toy Scalpers are charging $200 then it should retail for around $150aud, similar to MP-8 Grimlock, at a guess.
