Alternity Optimus Prime Lineart and Black Henkei Rodimus

It's clearly Wildrider, so I don't think it should ruffle FunPub feathers.

I like the Hot Rod. Just hope that it is easy to get. Any release dates mentioned?

Just to confirm, that black Henkei Rodimus is Wildrider... although that image calls it "Destron Wildrider" (Decepticon Wildrider)... perhaps TakaraTOMY have lost the rights to the name Wildrider?

It's unusual for TakaraTOMY. This is probably only the second time I recall TakaraTOMY reusing a G1 name that they appear to have lost the rights for - the previous case I remember being the Perceptor reissue which they called "Cybertron Perceptor" (Autobot Perceptor).

It's Wildrider. He has a red face. It's not Goatee Rodimus. I don't see any problem other than how the *#@# I'm going to get one.

This is another convention exclusive... so think "BT17" and "Henkei Crystal Convoy"...

In that case, lcz128 is a cheaper alternative.

EDIT: It does annoy me though how lazy they were. They should've just removed the flame stickers... and we complain about Hasbro...

Yeah he looks like Wildrider to me, i much prefer it to Evil Rodimus or ugh Mena-sour!

I like everything I've seen so far about both these toys, except the price tag

Actually that looks very much intentionally done. The flames are a kind of bluish grey as opposed to the gold flames on Rodimus. Whether you like them or not is a matter of personal opinion. I think it looks kinda cool because it goes inline with Wildrider's reckless nature.

I think the blue tinge comes from the lighting the photographer is using - it's cast across the whole figure.

You could try emailing F2F and see if he can help you out. If you try to order more than one he may purge you if it is really hard to get. Otherwise maybe email Overdrive and see if they can help out, they were they guys that helped us with the Henki seeker exclusives.
