Alternity Optimus Prime Lineart and Black Henkei Rodimus

Will this Henkei Black Rodimus be easy to get? I want one. Or two.

Classics Wildrider all the way for me. Remove the tail finds and replace the stickers on the hood and you've got Wildrider.

Yet they still have not released a Henkei Ultra Magnus.

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

Geez this is the 2nd punch in the face for the funpub people, I dont think this will cause the same kind of stink as Henkei Thundercracker, since the Henkei Wildrider is somewhat different to Shattered Glass Rodimus, but still it's pretty damn close.

It's too bad this repainted Hot Rod doesn't have a well-sculpted goatee...

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).
